MRS. GOULD LAUGHS
At IRATE ATTORNEY
Millionaire'S Actress Wife
Enjoys Situation When
Nicoll Loses Temper.

NEW YORK, June i12.-Indications to-
day are that the suit of Katherine Glenn
mons Gould for separation and aIimony
from her husband, Howard Gould. will
last at least two weeks, with the posi-
bility Of its running well into the third
week.
Mrs. Gould was zt3n on the stand
when court adjourned yesterday after
noon, and 1t IS thought that her cToss-
examination at the hands Of Delaney
Nicoll, her husbands attorney, viii not
be concluded until Monday night. She
will be the first witness whAn court
convenes Monday morning. Her own
attorney. Clarence Shearn. VII then
take her for redirect examination.
probably Tuesday imorning but IT is not
thought that this will take mora than
half day, as Mrs. Gould did not leave,
very many things to be explained.
Enjoys Her Inning.
Mrs. Gould seems to- enjoy her inning
on the stand moref than anyone else in
the court room 1t pleases her i'm
menseIy to be ableito parry all NicolTs
thrusts, and when her husbands attor-
ney lost his temper at the end OF
hard struggle with The witness Friday
evening, and shouted at her. she
laughed in her enjoyment because he
had lost hts temper while trying in
vain to get her angry or to mix her
up in her statements.
So there is not nElch to straighten out
except for her TO explain her relations
with Colonel Cody and Dustin FFrnum.
and to tell why she ran up suCh large
bills after she had left Gould.
Mrs. Gould has already told the court
that she needed the diamonds. gowns,
and other things she bought The 500
expended for silk stockings. she said,
was necessary.
After Mrs. Gould finishes her testi-
mony, there will pro badly be an army
Of III treatment at the hands of Gould
and his manager of Castle Could
Malloy.
Sensation Is Promised.
A sensation may be created II Mrs.
Gould's attorneys call TO the stand De-
tective Lieutenant Peabody and In
spector Mclaughlin, who dCst their
jobs on the local police force because
they were employed by Gould to watch
her. Her attorneys have subpoenaed
them all. though they have already
been called as witnesses for her hus-
band. 1t is expected that they will he
asked to substantiate her charge that
Gould sur rounded her with spies.
The Sc wing of Gould's brother. George
J. GCuiri. with a subpoena to testify for
Mrs. could has caused much specula-
tion. lG his appearance on the stand
may create another sensation. Then
there will be other witnesses to sub
stantiate her allegation that Gould
lived the life OF a libertine." and they
must finish before Gould can put on mis-
case.
Gould himself will probably be on the
stand three or four DAYS, and he win
also have an army Of witnesses to at
tempt TO prove that his wife was A
drunkard. II is thought that Dustin
F'arnum will take the stand for Mrs
Gould
Goulds fortune and the large aTn1onv
she will get, If she wins her case, is the
real point at issue.
