Sigel by her jealous admlrer. Leung Lin,
the Americanized Sunday school boy Of

Dustin Farnum as a witness.
In the deposition OF Dustin Farnum. the
actor declared the only reason he went to
see Mrs. Gould in 1905. after not meeting
her Tor two years. was because she
thought OF going back on the stage and
wanted 70 ask his advice. He denied that
he bad ever been IN Mrs. Gould's room
alone except at the 81. Regis luncheon.
when they talked over her plans. and said
that the only other time he was ever with

Mrs. GOuld's Denial.
On her direct examination IN rebuttal.
Mrs. Gould declared that many Of the
incidents related by witnesses for the de-
tense had been made up out Of whole
cloth, or else highly colored.
Her voice choked as she told how her
husband quit her after upbraidlng her
before the servants. and she was on the
point OF breaking down as she told OF
how. after she had lost all her happiness
and the responsibilities had been taken
from her. she thought seriously OF going
back on the stage or acquiring a theater
in order 10 ind something TO occupy her
time
Mr.. Shearn demanded twice to-day that
the defense produce Mary Elizabeth Har-
rison and Florence Garner, the two for
mer Bellevue-Stratford floor clerks. whose
stories OF seeing Dustin Farnum come
from Mrs. Gould's room about 7.39 o'clock
in the morning have been contradicted by
a dozen witnesses.
Mr.. Shearn tried to seT-e them both on
Wednesday, but learned that Miss Har-
rison had another job al the Hotel Bel
mont. after testifying on Monday. while
Miss Garner barricaded herself in a room
at the knickerbOcher, where she works.

In bringing in its verdict, the jury
made a recommendation for mercy. and
Judge Ray then announced that he would
pass sentence on the lawyer at 4 O'Clock.
In the meantime the trial OF Arthur p.
Heinze, brother OF F. A. Heinze, and In
dicted for practically the same offense as
Robinson's, was begun
There was considerably moro trouble
for the district attorney in this case as
the lawyer, w. Rand. who appeared for
Heinze. made frequent objections and
disputed every point, so that little prog
ress had been made UP TO the time that
Robinson was down for sentence. When
the Heinze trial had been adjourned, Mr..
Robinson appeared with his counsel.
Joseph Cotton, and with District Attor-
ney Wise spent half an hour in the

II was then announced that the SEN
