Wild West Show Travels.
Mrs. Gould's connection with Buffalo
Bills Wild west show was then inquired
into. The witness testified that she had
travelled with the show as a guest Of Miss
Ada Cody
Mr. Shearn objected when Mr. Nicoll
wanted to know if Mrs Gould had trav-
eled with the show after Miss Cody had
left it, saying that he presumed a positive
answer would be given.
The objection being overruled, Mrs.
Gould wanted to know what was meant
by travelling with the wild west show. 1t
appeared that she did not arrive at the
same stations at the same time
Where the wild west show went you
went, did you not?
II did not travel with the wild west
show
Did you not travel with Mr. Cody and
Mr.. Salisbury, the proprietors?'

"Mr. Cody was my manager, and I had
to go to consult him occasionally she
was allowed to say
The witness could not be induced to ad-
nit in any sense that she had Travelled
with Mr.. Cody. Her attorney was on his
toes every second with a counter fire of
objections to the rapid questions.
Counsel Shearn Is Shocked.
1T absolutely shocks ones sense OF
Justice he said. that a husband who
has lived with his wife for eight years
objects to paying her fitting stipend
and sneers at the witness. 1t should
never be permitted to put such questions
to woman unless ii is essential TO the
facts, as it / a matter of degradation -
AS Mr.. Shearn concluded his torrid
appeal 1t was Overruled.
AS Mr.. Nicoll asked separately con-
cerning all the capitals and chief cities
of the world where the witness had been
with Mr.. Cody she could remember
nothing.
Before coming under Buffalo Bills man.
agement she had appeared on the stage
