not at all suggestive OF Mrs. Dustin
Farnum.
"The virsinian."
Farnum first came i..to prominence
or the stage i'm "The Nirginian." in
which he took the title role. Being u
new star on Broadway he became some
what of a matinee idol. That was i'm
1903. He played III buckskin trimmed
cowboy clothes and carried rcyolvers.
In the life of the bounding West he
was letter perfect and he spent several
summer months in Virginia learning
the Southern dialect.
In 1907 Farnum appeared i'm "The
Rangers" at Wallack's. In this play ,he
also impersonated Western characters.
A sort of Davy Crockett. This year he
took a long jump from buckskin to
~broadcloth, appearing i'm THE Rector's
Garden at the BijoI theater last

GouId's Charges.
Howard Gould's answer to his wife's
Givor- /, petition is understood to be the
last straw which broke the back of
the Fsarnums' marital relations. This
document, fraught with extraordinary
statements, was loaded with charges OF
Improper conduct with Mr.. Farnum.
as we'll as charges OF Mrs. Gould's
ondness for intoxicants, beginning, as
alleged. with two or three cocktails be-
fore breakfast, a pint of Hook at lunch
con. brandy highbalis and unlimited
supplies of champagne at dinner.
whereby on n occasion, it is alleged.
she fell from her chair to the floor.
Mr.. Gould, with great m~inuteness.
alleged that at the Hotel ST. Regis in
this city, at the MISREPRESENTATION III
philadelphia. and at the Marlborough
Islenheim i'm Atlantic City. his wife, the
former protege OF Buffalo Bill was
guilty OF improper and immodest con-
duct With Dustin Farnum.
Followed Farnum.
MIR. Gould went even further. He de-
CARED that i'll September. 1906, his wife
became namore and infatuated"
with Dustin Farnuin: that she attended
sacn OF his theatrical performances and
ollowed him on the road to Brooklyn
and throughout New England, taking
him to and from the heater in her
automobile. Mr.. Gould says his wife's
conduct in this respect became a pub
lie scandal and was q matter of Cos
sip among the members of F'arnum's
company. much to Mr.. Gould's humilia-
1iOn.
MIR. Gould further claimed that his
Wife followed Dustin Farnum to Phila-
delp!aia In October. 1906. when his com
pal,y was there playing. md that she
and the actor both stayed at the Hotel
lselicVue-Stratford and later went to
atlantic City together. putting up at

again his wife of improper con-
duct at Atlantic City, but he in no
case makes any charge that his wife
was guilty of the statutory otfease with
