FARNUM RESENTS
GOULD CHARGES
Matinee idol Angry Because
His Name is DRAGGED Into
Divorce Scandal

NEW YORK, April with Dustin
Farnum, matinee idol, not only denying
rthe allegations made against him by
Howard Gould in answering the suit
for separation instituted by his wife,
the former Katherine Clemmons by
threatening libel proceedings against
The young millionaire, the Gould
family is once more in the limelight of
publicity
Howard Gould's accusations against
his wife and Farnum as well as his
charges of drunkenness. profanity and
improper conduct gave even the most
blase of the society people a distinct
shock
Farnum to-day is fighting mad over
the ringing in Of his name in Gould's s
answer AT the Lambs Club, where ne
was seen, he gave out vigorous denial
Of all the accusations. His chief COM
plant, however. is that Gould has 50
worded his charges that it may be diff
ficult to hold him to account in libel
proceedings.
Nothing could show the weakness OF
Mr.. Gould's case more than this.
have never raat Mrs. Gould in my lie
except m Tie presence of other people,
and often five or six friends were pres
mt.
Farnum then described in detail the
times he remembered meeting Mrs.
Gould, all of which are referred to in
Gould's answer, and explained that
other persons had been present in each
instance. One of the times he is ac-
cused Of being with Mrs. Gould he de-
clared he was in Bridgeport, and on
another such occasion he was in Bos-
ton. All the scandal regarding Kath-
crime Clemmons and Col. VIM. f. Cody,
Buffalo Bills raked uo and put in
his answer by Gould. He asserted that
in 1SS7-ss and 's2 the actress and Cody
lived together in Europe. He was in
veigled into the marriage with the wo-
man, he adds, by fraud and misrepre-
sentation.
In view of the seriousness of Gould's
charges his attorneys win fight all the
harder for a private hearing before a
referee. Mrs. Gouhl's lawyers. aisa
say the very seriousness of these ac-
cusations requires that she be given a
chance to kisprove them in open court
