Mrs. Howard Gould Files Sem
sational Charges Against
Her Husband.
PRIEST MAKES AN AFFIDAVIT
Tells of Money Being Offered to. Hotel
Attache-Man Paid to Be Rude
to Mrs. Gould.

New York, Oct. 4.-That $4,000 had
been offered an employe of the Hotel
st. Regis to give false testimony
against Mrs. Howard Gould, was the
substance Of an affidavit purported to
have been made by the Rev. Joseph G.
Murray, which was presented to JUS
tjce Giegerich in the supreme court
yesterday. The case came up before
the justice yesterday on a motion to
strike out certain allegations in Mrs.
Gould's complaint in her suit for a
separation from her husband as scan
dalous and irrelevant. Mrs. Gould's
counsel opposed the motion and pre-.
sented several afidavits, in which it
was charged that certain witnesses
had been hired to testify in favor of
Mr.. Gould.
To Watch Mrs. Gould.
The affidavit of Father Murray was
one of the papers presented. 1t de-
clares that Michael H. Dcody had told
the priest that while he was employed
at the Hotel St. Regis, where Mrs.
Gould lived, detective went to him
with the proposition that he ''give a
proper report of Mrs. Gould's comings
and goings at the hotel, the amount of
wine she drank and the names of her
visitors, notably those of them that
were men,"
Another affidavit, made by Maurice
Molloy, alleges that Molloy was un-
der contract while custodian of Cas-
tie Gould, at Port Washington, to treat
Mrs. Gould in a contemptuous fashion
Rude to Mrs. Gould.
The lawyer for Mrs. Gould recited
how it was alleged that Molloy had
gone into the house, sat on divans and
puffed cigarette smoke in Mrs. Gould's
face when she ordered him out of the
house.
An affidavit submitted by Mrs.
Gould in reply to allegations of her
husband that she is addicted to the
use of intoxicating liquors says:
when living in the country and
spending most of my time in the open
air have drunk a cocktail on sitting
down to luncheon and generally a
glass of white wine with luncheon.
At dinner, when 1 felt like it, 1 drank
cocktail and glass OF champagne
We were accustomed to have wine
served at these meals, but that was
the extent of my drinking"
Husband Annoyed Her.
Then she accuses her husband of
gross habits of intoxication. She says
she was particularly annoyed by her
husband during a trip to Egypt, wnere
they we're entertained by the khed1ve
and Prince Mohammed Ali. She ac-
cuses Mr.. Gould of being jealous when
she went driving with the prince,
while he went In carriage with an.
other woman who was a guest at the
luncheon.

Fast Freight Crashes Into Heavily
Loaded Passenger Train.
Toledo, Ohio, Oct. S.-When north
bound freight train crashed into a
heavily loaded special on the Ohio
Central railway, carrying passengers
from the Bowling Green fair to To-
ledo and way points last evening, six
young men were killed and several
other people seriously wounded. The
| accident occurred about o'clock near
Sugar Bridge, a short distance out of
Bowling Green.
According to the story told by the
crew of the freight and Everett Nc
Cook of Toledo, two old coaches were
put on the rear of the special train
at Bowling Green. These coaches not
only did not have rear lights, but were
not lighted inside. Because of the
| crowded condition Of the coaches and
the shortness of the trip to Toledo, the
passenger was running slowly to ena-
BILE the conductor to collect fares.
Head-on Crash by Freight.

Events Crystalizing Rapidly
! Which May Change Political
y. Face Of Europe.
TWO STROKES THAT MEAN WAR
Ferdinand Proclaims independence Of
Bulgaria and Joseph Grabs Two
Provinces.

Lodon, Oct. 6. - Events which
threaten to change the political face of
Europe are crystallizing with light
ming rapidity. Almost over night the
horizon of the Near East, which seem
ed gradually to be assuming a peace
full appearance, has become crowded
with war clouds.
News has reached here from several
sources that two definite strokes are
impending which cannot fail to bring
matters to crisis and perhaps force
an immediate war. One is the procla-
nation by Prince Ferdinand of the in.
dependence of Bulgaria, which will in
clude Rumelia, taking for himself the
title of "czar''
Joseph Grabs Two.
The other is an announcement by
Austria-Hungary of the practical an
nexation of the provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina as appanages of the
Austro-Hungarian crown.
Either action will be equivalent to
the tearing up of the treaty of Berlin,
while Prince Ferdinand's course
seems almost certain to precipitate a
war between Bulgaria and Turkey.
Before these possibilities the quarrel
over the East Rumelian section of the
Orient railway sinks into insignifi-
canoe. Both armies are reported to be
quietly but swiftly mobilizing near the
borders. Bulgaria is said to be buying
up munitions and horses on an extern
sive scale.
Bulgaria Ready for War.
The Bulgarians have faith in their
army, which has reached a high state
of efficiency, although it is perhaps
lacking in officers, and the war, for
which Bulgaria has long been suspect
ed of preparing, could be fought with
more advantage for her now than
when the Turkish government had
time to reorganize its forces. which
have become enervated by the corrup-
ton and neglect of the old regime.
The emperor of Austria, it is under
stood. has dispatched letter to the
president of France, setting forth his
intentions regarding Bosnia and Her.
zegovina, although the contents of the
letter are kept secret, and he is send
ing similar notes to the other powers.
Amounts to Annexation.
While Austria's action with regard
to the two provinces may not techni-
cally be called annexation. it is believ-
ed it will amount to that, whatever it
may be called. Apparently the EN-.
peror is determined that the destiny
of these provinces shall be Austrian,
not Turkish. For thirty years they
have been administered by Austria,
Hungary, but they have always re-
manned theoretically Turkish terrific
ry, and Austria pledged that her ad-
ministration should not derogate Turk
lsh rights.
English public opinion is with Tur.
key in the Bulgarian dispute, as all
the powers except Austria seem to
be, and it remains to be seen what the
English attitude will be toward annex
alton, if that becomes fact.

TtRRORIzfD BY OUTLAW GANG
Vigilance committes Organized to Huat
Down Desperadoes ID
Virginia.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 3.-Excitement
in Arvonia is greatly allayed, but in
the outlying districts, where the
houses are several miles distant from
each other, the people are still fearful
of visitations from the Zimmerman
Thomas gang of outlaws. The crisis
was reached yesterday when Mr.. Ed
mund w. Hubbard, commemorative
attorney, Of Buckingham county, tele.
graphed to the justice of the peace in
Arvonia to summon eighty men and
to form them in squads of twenty to
scour the country for the desperadoes.
Mr. Hubbard acted after consulting
with Gov. Swanson. It is supposed
that the vigilance committee started
last night, though no direct informa.
ton of their movements or plans of
the authorities could be gained.
Result Of Old Grudge.
The latest report from the outlaw
country is that Charles Newton,
brother-in-law of Benjamin thinner
man, supposed to be the leader of the
gang, is dead from wounds inflicted by
some one of the desperadoes. The re-
port could not be confirmed, owing to
the inaccessibility of the place where
the shooting is said to have occurred,
but it is generally believed that New
ton has been killed. The murder, if
it occurred, is the result OF an old
grudge existing between the victim
and his slayer.
Some time ago Zimmerman is alleg
ed to have attempted a criminal as
sault on Newton's wife, and after the
warrant was sworn out for his arrest
to have threatened his brother-in-law
Reporters Heed Warning.
Affairs for newspaper men reached
climax yesterday morning when the
first greeting they received was that
they would be shot on sight, and that
it would be we'll for them to leave the
village. The bearer of the message, a
citizen of some prominence, would not
divulge the name of the sender.
He repeated the message several
times and the reporters took him at
his word.
