New York, June 15.-So large a
crowd gathered to attend the trial of
the suit for separation Of Katherine
Clemmons Could against Howard
Gould that special police measures
We're necessary to preserve order.
The great majority were disappointed,
as Justice Bowling limited admission
to the seating capacity of the court
5loom.
Mrs. Gould showed few evidences Of
nervous tension under the rapid fire
of cross-examination which Delaney
Nicoll, attorney for Mr.. Gould, began
to direct at her when she resumed the
stand at the opening of court. CUES
toned in regard to her acquaintance
and meetings with Dustin Farnum, the
actor, the witness testified that she
did not remember meeting Farnnm be-
tween August, 1905, when he dined
with her at Castle Gould, and meet
ing in Hartford, Conn.,, when they
dtned together at hotel in that city.
Mr.. Nicoll read from the deposition
of Elijah Sells, Mrs. Gould's cousin,
in which he stated the conditions
upon which Howard Gould offered a
reconciliation with his wife. The con-
ditions were that Mrs. Gould was not
to interfere in the management of
Castle Gould; she was to abstain
from intoxicants; to refrain from hui
initiating Mr.. Gould before his friends
and she was to agree to a REPUTATION
of her personal finances. Mrs. Gould
would not admit the specifications Of
this agreement when questioned about
1t, but said they had asked her to
sign a paper to abstain from intoxi-
cants"
"My Dear Malloy" Letters.
Clarence J. shearn, Mrs. Gould's
counsel. questioned her at length on
redirect examination. She said the
letters she had written to Mr.. Nal
10y, manager of Castle Gould, which
were read in evidence and were adj
dressed to him as "My Dear Malloy,"
were addressed simply in terms of po-
likeness and not in terms of endear-
ment.
Mr.. Shearn referred to the large
bills which Mrs. Gould had incurred
to her husbands account just prior to
and following their separation in July,
1906, and which were still unpaid at
various stores and millinery shops
here and In Paris. He drew from the
witness the statement that If Mr..
Gould had given her the allowance he
promised she could have paid them
all. Mrs. Gould said that as far back
as 1899 her husband promised to al
low her $4,000 month. The witness
said she had to have at Castle Gould
morning, Afternoon and evening gowns,
with shoes and stockings that
matched, tea gowns, coaching gowns,
shopping gowns, which she used about
the city, and with most of these hats,
shoes, stockings and parasols to
match. Yet yachting costumes were
distinct from the others and had to
have their expensive accessories, the
witness said. She was accustomed to
change her gowns sometimes five and
six times a day. She had to dress at
least three times a day at Palm
Beach and more than that during her
various trips about Europe.
Z In answer to questions regarding
the cost of her various dresses, etc.,
Mrs. Gould gave the following esti-
mates:
Dinner gowns, $500 to 5000; morn
ing gowns, 500 to $3.50; day gowns
(worn shopping, etc., $500; tea
gowns, $500 to. $4O0; reception gowns,
$780, For motoring and coaching and
yachting the witness said she required
particular gowns, but did not say how
much she paid for them.
