Thu question was raised to-day
while Elijah W. Sells, cousin Of
Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould and
a distant relative Of her husband,
Howard Gould, was testifying before
Edward G. whitaker as referee at a
hearing In the suit for divorce lnsti-
tuted some time age BY Mrs. Could.
Mrs. Sells is going abroad Cor six
months, and Justice Bischotf Of the
supreme court ordered the hearing
now Mr.. Sells appeared as witness to
the good character Of Mrs Gould In
july 1905, after serious differences
ha1 arisen between Mrs. Gould and
Mr.. Gould, he said, he tried TO affect
an arrangement whereby the Goulds
would live according to definite do
nestle and property plan.
The following stipulations were laid
down by Mr.. Gould for the governanee
OF his wife's conduct, but she rejected
them
Flrst--That Gould would return TO
bis home under certain conditions.
These conditions were, first, that she
have nothing to do with the manage
ment Of Castle Gould; second, that
she "abstain from the use Of all int0x-
lcating liquorn, third, that she IRE
frain from humiliating him in front Of
company and servants; fourth that
she arrange to manage her own imam
clal affairs.
Seeond-That II the first proposition
and its clauses were not satisfactory
be would effect q separation with her.
Third-That II the first two propo-
sitlons we're not satisfactory be would
let her obtain divorce.
On the point OF Absolute abstentlon
from intoxlcants Delancey Nicoll, who
appeared for Mr.. Gould, asked Mr.,
Sells TO tell just how much vine he
thought lady should drink.
MRS. Gould,n 1.-THE witness said,
drank only as much as lady
should.'
"WeIl what is q lady's limit9"
queried Mr. Nicoll.
"Well l should say that the limit
for lady is a pint of champagne at
dinner" said Mr.. Sells.
Clarence J. Shern, who represented
Mrs. Gould, asked the witness prior to
the cross-examination Of Mr.. NicoIl;
SNOW, have you ever observed in
Mrs. Gould's demeanor any evidence
that she had been drinking to ex.
cess?'
ION, never promptly said Mrs.
i Sells.
Mr.. Sells said he knew Dustin Far
mum as we'll as Mrs. Gould, and that
there had never been anything Inn
proper In their actions. He said the
same thing concerning Colonel Will
liam d. Cody who is also named by
Gould in his suit.
