 New York. June I1.--what appeared to be the hazy memory of Mrs. Kath- crime ciemmons Gould, on this. the sec- ond day of her testimony in cross ex- animation. brought rebuke from su- preme Court Justice Bowling. who is hearing her suit for separation from her husband, Howard Gould. second son of the late Jay Gould.
 Another interesting phase of the case today was a tilt between Lawyers Delaney Nicoll for the defendant and Clarence J. Shearn for Mrs. Gould.
 "Please try to be polite" Mir. Sheatn cautioned Mir. Nicoll. when the latter asked the witness question sharply.
 "Oh, I'm sick of trying to be polite. I've been polite all day and Mrs. Gould won't answer a straight question" re- torted Nicell.
 "Yes, the witness has given MT. Ni- coll much unnecessary trouble" Jus tice Bowling interposed. Mrs. Gould leaned forward eagerly at this point to meet the next ques- ton but the clock struck four and ad- journment was then taken until to- morrow with the Likelihood that she will remain on the stand throughout the day.
 As uncertain as was the witnesss | memory at times. she did not fall to take advantage of that very fact when occasion twice offered.

The articles l included the pearl rope which the wit nes: wore yesterday and today. listed at $27,000, the disputed pendant at l s13,3oo and diamond chain at s22.- GOO; diamond diadem at s24.ooo, and | a sapphire ring at $6,o00.
 | Such little things as $500 worth of | silk stockings at a time or S1,52S for shoes. were trivial by comparison. Five tailormade suits were ordered at a cost of s5.s0s.
 Because of the great crowd of curl ous persons who gathered, hoping to hear the testimony. only such persons as could give valid reasons for their presence were permitted to get past | the door keepers.
 | Mrs. Gould identified a letter which had passed between counsl for both | sides. 1t was dated November 23. 1907, and was addressed to Mir. Shearn. II | went on to say that Mrs. Gould had run up $7o.773.51 worth of bills in that year. Notice was given that responsi- l bility for these bills would not be con- 1 tinued by the defendant. The alimony, l placed at $25,000. was to be paid to Mrs. Gould in monthly installments. In striking contrast to this glitter l of luxurious articles was Mrs. Gould's Gould she was actually without provis- l ions. ,,t, Mir. Nicoll asked the witness If she had ever travelled with a Wild West show. Mrs. Gould replied that she had travelled once with Miss Ada Cody and had accompanied the show to Naples. Rome and other European cities. She had seen a good deal of Colonel Cody as he was her manager and she had to frequently consult him, she said. MT. Nicoll next questioned Mrs. Gould about her residence in the St. 1 Regis Hotel, in New York, in August, 1908, Mrs. Gould said she often had company in her rooms there for lunch and dinner, and that Dustin Farnum,
 
 St. Regis.
 On motor trip In September she said she met Farnum and dined with him in the restaurant of a hotel in Hartford, Conn. She said she saw Far. mum next in Philadelphia on October 12.
 Mrs. Gould said she met Fzrnum at Castle Gould in the fall of 1s0e. This happened when a conveyance in which Mrs. Gould was riding collided with A truck somewhere between New York and Jamaica.
 Replying to questions, Mrs. Gould said she did not go to a road houae and supper with Farnum after the col lision, but after visiting the Castle Gould they stopped at road house on the Vanderbilt cup course and had some refreshments brought out to them. but did not enter the house.
 Mrs. Gould said she could not recall whether she had anything to drink then, but declared that 1t would not have been unusual. With Farnum. Mrs. Gould said, she returned to the St. Regis Hotel about II o'clock that night and Farnum accompanied her to her apartments for few minutes and then went to his own rooms.
 Mrs. Gould said she had Farnum to supper at the Hotel Bellevue Stratford. Philadelphia, on October 12, and that he suppered with her the following day and with some friends a day later. few days later she went with him as far as Jersey City in an automobile.
