Hubby Into Divorce Court Un-
der SaIacious Allegations.

Al New York Monday, MIS-. How
ard Gould filed against her husband,
the millionaire yachtsmGn, slit for
seDaratiOr, one of fler most a5ton-
ishiug allegations being that because
OF his personal habits he is al i'm
proper person TO live with. The COM
pIain1 is highly sensational, charging
Gould with consortlnS With nuner-
Gus women.
Almost as astounding as the actual
beginning of the already famous di-
yorce case are developments Ill the
investigation into the use OF police
Headquarters detectives b. Howard
Could against Mrs. Gould. District
Attorney Jerome will consult with
Police Commissioner Bingham, going
over all OF the evidence thus far ad-
duced in the case with the possible
result that he may begin grand jury
proceeding to see just what there Is
to the conspiracy charged by Mrs.
Gould.
Mrs. Goulds complaint Sa!nst her
husband covers every one OF the four
grounds on which it is possible to Sc
cure separtion. Under the first
charge that he is not proper per-
son to live with, it is said that some
exceedingly distressing facts will be
presented in the bill OF particulars
or at the time of the trial.
The second charge is that he aban-
doned her. Since last July Mrs. Gould
has been living at the st. Regis, rec
ognized for some time as the city
home of the Goulds, and her husband
has not once visited her.
Non-support is the third allegation.
In September last Gould is said 10
have discontinued providing Mrs.
Gould with funds, and until very re-
Gently she is said not to have re.
ceiyed a single penny from him.
Under the fourth charge, that OF
cruel and inhuman treatment, many
specifications are made, one OF which
is that Gould, at the time OF their
separarion, sent notices TO all or the
trades people with whom he has been
dealing instructing them not to give
her any credit if they had any idea
of collecting their accounts from him.
This was at ti>le when he was
trying to force her to accept his terms
in the financial feature Of their sep
aration. and she charges that ID this
way he endeavored to compel her to
submit to his wishes.
Another of the specifications is that
he has humiliated her, constantly
surrounding her with detectives, caus'
ing her mail to be opened and SUD-
iectinc her 10 many similar annoy
ances.
a friend of Mrs. Gould says that
when details are presented TO the
court, Mrs. Gould will state that one
Of the worst Of the many ind!gnitlea
heaped upon her was the fact that
while she was living at the st. Re-
gis hotel her husband was openly pay
ing attentions to another woman Nv
ing at the same hotel.
Mrs. Gould knows that her nus
band is worth at least $2C,GO0,oO0,'
said a friend of the lady, and that
he has an assured income oil sl,ooo''
900 a year, and she asks for allmonF
at the rate of 100000 year during
the time the case is in court. AT the
time of the trial she will make a
demand for permanent alimony OF
s1SO,OOO a year.
Counsel for Mrs. Howard Gould
| said that the suit will be tried N
open court, adding:
Mrs. Gould desires that full pub
lcity be given to it, and she refuses
to spare any one engaged in the plot
against her"
