 At Blue Gap Farm.
 Veitch said he was at Blue Gap farm, in Virginia, with Mrs. Gould in Septem- ber 1906 and saw her intoxicated there.
 Mrs. Gould discharged you because you had stolen some jewelry and silver ware from her, didn't she?" asked MT. Shearn.
 veitch denied that she discharged him for that reason.
 Why did you leave your employment at tht Waldorf Astoria in this city?" asked Mr Shearn.
 MT. Nicoll, the defendants counsel, ob- jected to the question and was sustained.
 The witness repeated a statement that Mrs. Gould had ordered him to throw table set with dishes into the hall from her apartment at the St. Regis.
 Mrs. Gould eyed the witness sharply all the time he was testifying. She appeared to be much angered by the evidence.
 Henry H. Knowles, an insurance agent, testified that he had known the Goulds since 1904 and visited at Castle Gould and Blue Gap farm and been guest on Goulds yacht Niagara.
 Did you have occasion to observe Mrs Gould's conduct when she had been drinking?" asked MT. Nicoll.
 Yes; the first time was dinner at the St. Regis in 19O5' said MT. Knowles. Mrs. Gould drank good deal of wine and became very disagreeable.'
 How did her moods change at these times?" asked MT. Nicoll.
 "She would change from a most charm ing and agreeable woman to a disagree able woman, nagglng and sarcastic" said the witness.
 Gould Leaves Table.
 He said MT. Gould left the table at one dinner on account of his wfe's talk and conduct. At another dinner at Castle Gould in July, 1906, the witness said Mrs. Gould found fault with the salad, be- cause the lettuce was not properly head ed and complained to her husband be- cause better arrangements had not been made. That's what you get for having a damn fool gardener" Mrs. Gould said to her husband, the witness testified. Referring to an automobile trip of four days from Paris to Nice when the wit ness, MT and Mrs. Gould and Lord Royl- ston occupied one car, Mir Knowles said Mrs Gould was continually nagging and complaining to her husband about the arrangements and often used strong lan- guage and was under the influence of liquor most of the time of the trip. At Nice the whole party went to a masque ball in costume and Mrs. Gould created a scene because the courier got lost, the | witness said.
 On cross-examination MT. Shearn took up the masked ball incident and asked | Was not Mrs. Gould complaining be- cause MT. Gould was lost and not the courier?"
 NO, MT. Gould was not lost" replied | MT. Knowles.
 "Did you and MT. Gould wear cos. J tumesY' asked Mir. Shearn. | Yes"
 What were they?" Gould as Cupid. Mine was Trilby costume and MT Gould appeared as Cupid" said MT l Knowles.
 The answer caused a burst of laughter | in which Mrs. Gould joined with great | zest. She looked toward her husband | sitting at the other end of the coun- | sel table and seemed to enjoy his confu- | sion.
 MT. Shearn brought out that MT | Knowles lived in adjoining apartments tc | MT. Gould at the Hotel Martinique in | this city and was very friendly with MT ! Gould. He said he was with the Equit- | able Assurance society in 1905 when he went to Europe for nine months and met | the Goulds there. That was about the time of the Hughes | investigation of the insurance companiei was 1t not?" asked MT. Shearn. ! MT. Nicoll objected to the question and
