THE CHICKS PRODUCED.
When james II. Brennan, the cashier
at the st. Regis, was called he said that
he saw Mrs. Gould frequently In con-
showing signs OF being under the infiu-
enoe Of liquor.
| "Do you keep record Of the supplies
furnished to guests?" asked Mr.. Nicoll
on cross examination.
"Yes"
"Look at these tickets and see if they
are the records of supplies furnished to
over bunch Of the restaurant slips.
Mr.. Shearn Immediately detected Mr..
| Niooll's object and jumped to his feet
with an objection. which was promptly
overrlled.
part Of Mrs. Goulds bills said the wit
ness.
Il offer them in evidence"
| But there is nothing to show that
Mrs. Gould ever got any Of the things
charged up on these checks said Mr.
shearn. -'The supplies may have been
delivered to some one else. She didn't
sign one of the checks"
witness said that the walters who signed
the checks were Mrs. Gould's walters.
The Court then ordered them admitted
in evidence and the witness spent some
time looking at each one of about 100
checks to see If it was genuine and had
been made out for Mrs. Gould. The
checks covered several months in the fall
Of 1908.
Mr.. Shearn put in another objection
that the accounts had never been pre-
sented to Mrs. Gould to see If she got
what was charged to her.
They're going to be received said
Justice Bowling.
Some Of the checks might be forgeries,
said Mr.. Shearn. "Im going to show you
these checks and ask you IL you dom
think yourself that several of the entries
have been forged" said Mr.. Shearn to the
Court.
Il don't know why you object to these
checks anyhow" said Justice Bowling
to Mr.. Shearn.
y }S% %r wSqld S;ad il you knew the contents
Your Honor will know the contents.
and 80 will everybody else" said MIR.
Shearn.
Mr.. Shearn then asked Justice Bowling
to look at check in which TWO Manhattan
cocktail entries appeared TO be entered
in different handwritings. The Court
writing was the same, and Brennan said
it was.
This man is not handwriting expert
anyhow" said MIR. Nicoll.
Il call your attention to two Manhat-
tans at the bottom Of the bill and one in
the middle" said Mr.. Shearn.
What three Manhattans Oh one check?'
asked Mr.. Nicoll.
There is nothing to show on these
checks that Mrs Gould was ever intoyi-
Gated as the result OF getting the articles
on them" said the Court.
Mr.. Shearn insisted that he wanted to
have time to go over all the checks, and
Justice Bowling said:
IF you desire to spend your time with
them you may have the opportunity
HEAD WAITER ADDS HIS MITE.
Lee Theimer, the head waiter at the St.
Regis, said that he had been at the hotel
Gould dining once or twice a week in the
main restaurant. lie said he never saw
her intoxicated or boisterous.
Did you ever see any ladies under the
influence of liquor in your restaurants"
asked Mr.. Nicoll.
Yes, we have them there the same
as at any hotel. Sometimes they drink
little too much
did you ever see Mr.. Farnum dining
there with Mrs Gould?'
NO. | never saw him there.
This answer surprised Mr.. Nicoll.
Ellen Rock. who was caretaker at
Castle Gould in 1904, said that Mrs. Gould
was an early riser and usually had break
knew Of Mrs. Gould taking cocktails
for breakfast. she said, and never saw
LIQUOR in her room, although she had
been through Mrs. Gould's closets.
On cross-examination the witness de-
clared that Mrs. Gould drank a good
deal OF milk. sometimes quart at
time.
Patrick NJ. German. the Long Island
Railroad station agent at Port Washing
ton, testified that Mrs. Gould was not
intoxicated the morning he held the
train for her a minute and had to let il
90 before she reached the station. He
said Mrs. Gould thanked him just the
same and that he talked with her for
some time.
Mr.. Shearn led his next witness. George
Gruber, into an error that destroyed
the value OF his testimony to some extent.
Gruber was Mr.. Hams personal waiter
at the st. Regis. and when Mr.. Hams
family went away Gruber was loaned
to Mrs. Gould. Under Mr.. Shearns
questioning Gruber told about serving
Mrs. Gould's meals in her room during
three months in the spring of 1906. when
the year was 1905.
Gruber repeated the dates for Mr..
Nicoll. and then the latter said: Don't
YOU know that Mrs. Gould went to Europe
In February of 1905 and didn't return
until june
Mr.. Shearn then declared that he had
put the year in the witness's mouth.
and when he couldn't get his witness
out Of the difficulty Gruber was excused.
He had testified that he never served
Mrs. Gould anything but a cocktail occa
sionally and sometimes pint of cham
payne.
Hedwig Jacobsen, Mrs. Gould's mas
seuse on the Niagara and at Castle
Gould, who testified that she never saw
liquor in Mrs. Gould's room had the date
of her service with Mrs Gould written
down in the back of Swedish Bible.
She declared that she wrote the date
there before she left Mrs. Goulds and
that she put it in the Bible because her
duties had been very pleasant and she
wanted to remember the occasion.
