NEW YORK, June 12-What ap-
peared to be hazy memory Of Mrs.
Katherine Clemmons Gould. in her
testimony Friday in cross-examina-
ton, brought a rebuke from Supreme
Court Justice Bowling. who is hear
ing her suit for separation from her
husband Howard Gould, second son
of the late Jay Gould. Another inter
esting phase of the case was a tilt
between lawyers Delaney Nicoll for
the defendant, and Clarence ]. Shearn,
for Mrs Gould.
please try to De polite" Mr..
Shearn cautioned Mr.. Nicoll when the
latter asked the witness a question
sharply.
oh! I'm sick of trying to be po-
lite. I've been polite all day and Mrs.
Gould won't answer a straight ques-
ton" retorted Nicoll
Yes, the witness has given Mr..
Nieoll much unnecessary trouble"
Justice Bowling interposed
Mrs. Gould leaned forward eagerly
at this point 10 meet the next ques-
ton, but just then the clock struck
and adjournment was taken.
AS uncertain as was the witness
memory at times, she did not fail to
take advantage of that very fact when
occasion twice offered. Once she
apologized for her inability to tell
certain restaurant checks
were hers or not, and again when she
could not tell whether a diamond
pendant valued at $4,000 had been
bought by her or by her husband "for
another" Delaney Nicoll protested
against this insinuation and
Justice Bowling, with some asperity,
ordered it stricken from the record.
The amounts of assorted jewels and
,ootmakers' bills continued to make
he spectators gasp and stare. The
lrticles purchased included the pearl
curt listed at $4,000; the
ope, which the witness wore in
isuted pendant at $4,000, and
iamond chain at $4,000; diamond
laden at $4,000; sapphire ring at
5000 Such little things as $500
Vorth of silk stockings at a time or
1928 for shoes were trivial by COM
arison. Five tailor-made suits were

Mrs. Gould identified a letter which

ides. 1t was dated Nov. 25, 1907, and
as addressed to Mr.. Shearn. II
