New York, Aug. lS.-In the divorce
suit of Helen Kelly Gould against
Frank Jay Gould, the statutory limit
of ninety days that must elapse be-
tween the signing OF an interlocutory
decree and the final one expired today,
and the wife of the millionaire will
soon be forever freed from matrimo-
NAL relations with her recreant hus-
band.
Frank Jay Gould is the youngest
son of the late Jay Gould and is
thirty-tw years of age. He was mar
ried to Helen Margaret Kelly in 1901
and two children, both girls, were born
to them. The sinister fate that has fol-
lowed the matrimonial ventures of the
Goulds early manifested itself in the
relations of the young couple, but it

English actress, Rose Winter, that led
the outraged wife to appeal for di-
vorce.

who was married to Sarah Snrady,
daughter of physician in 1892, and
has apparently lived happily ever
afterward, and Helen Miller Gould
who has remained unwed and husband
less. George Jay Gould, the head of
the family, has escaped open ruptures
in his domestic relations, but there
have been many rumors of family
"spats." The adventures in matri-
mony of Howard Gould and Anna, the
Princess de Sagan and former Count
ess de Castellane, are too well known
to require repetition in the columns
of a family newspaper.
Although the divorce suit of Helen
Kelly Gould against her hayward hus-
band was tried before a referee and
behind closed doors, the testimony has
leaked out and makes spicy reading.
Frank Had Been Naughty.
The testimony adduced before Ref
faction that Frank Jay Gould had mis-
conducted himself at the Shoreham, a
motel at No. 30S West Fifty eighth
street, formerly known as lie Barton
with an English actress named Rose

several times in this country. Mrs

In her complaint Mrs. Gould named
another woman besides Mrs. Winter
but the complaint was amended and

the complaint stood originally it
charged Gould with misconduct on
several occasions at many places which
he visited in his yacht.
the most important witness fol-
Mrs. Gould was George H. Taylor, an
intimate friend of Frank Gould, who
accompanied him on several occasions
to the Winter apartment. What he
saw there is detailed in his testimony
Taylor told of many presents Gould
made to the Winter woman, including
check for $4,000 and diamond
studded gold mesh purse. Taylor was
reluctant witness, but Lawyer Smytn
representing Mrs. Gould, forced him to
