BUFFALO BILL AS
Correspondent
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-An affi-
davit setting forth on information
and belief that prior to her marriage
to him, Katherine Clemmons' rela-
tions with William F. Cody buffalo
BID were criminal and meritricious,
was filed in the supreme court today
by Howard Gould. The affidavit de-
clares that Miss Clemmons told
Gould that her relations with Cody
were purely of a business nature, but
that he has since learned that this
was not true.
Through Katherine Mer of London,
England, Gould says he expects to
show that his wife confessed to Miss
Mer the true nature of her relations
with Cody.
The case came UP before Justice
O'Gorman today on the application
of Clarence Shearn, counsel for Mrs.
Gould, to have vacated an order
which Mr.. Gould recently got from
Justice Fitzgerald for the examina-
tion of Miss Mer as a witness in Mr.
Gould's suit for separation.
Mr.. Shearn argued that Mr..
Gould's affidavit does not divulge the
nature of the alleged relations be-
tween his wife and Cody.
1--WE desire to have this order va
Gated" said Mr. Shearn, for the rea-
son that in an action such as this,
where the wife lived with the de-
fendant for eight years and has
brought action for separation should
be directly confronted with the wo-
man who made the statement that
twelve years ago, prior to their mar
riage, the plaintiff had maintained
meritricious relations with some
other man. She should confront the
jury and be cross-examined.

end prominently identified with many

ing four and half hours later.
News of the suicide was telephon-

a day or two before that institution

amounting to from $6O,OOO,O0O' to

Los ANGELES
HAS MORE SCRIP

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15.--An-

clearing house scrip was sent into
circulation today by local clearing
house banks, bringing the total of
this none ymedium in local circula-
tion up to $2,00O,OOO. However. the
issuing of the second $1,000, goo is
entirely for the purpose of immedi-
ately retiring the currency issue of
$1.000,O00 because of the peculiar
erroneous belief that the first issue
of scrip can be easily counterfeited.
The new scrip which will appear to-
day is an intricate bit of 'lithography.
