Howard Gould, We're sadly disappoint-
ed at the resumption of the hearings
before Justice Bowling in the supreme
court today, when il was announced
that the defence had rested and that
Howard Gould would not take the
stand. 1t had been expected that his di-
rect testimony and his cross-eXamina-
ton by Clarence j. Shcarn, counsel for
the plaintiff, would take two full days,
but the termination of the case is now
looked for at corrcspondingly earlier

surprised and taken aback by the an
nounccment that Howard Gould would
not testify. could himself seemed re-
lievcd and Mrs. Gould annoyed
Since the recess of last Fridaey,
your honor" said Delaney Nicoll,
council for the husband, my associ-

mony which we have offered is 50 com
pIcte that there is no necessity for go
ing further. We have therefore decided
to rest at this time"
When he recovered from his as
tonishment, Mr.. Shearn led off the re-
buttal with testimony designed to
show, he explained, "Fhc faIsity of the
charge that Mrs. Gould was continual
ly and habituaIly intoxicated from 1902
to the present date"
DO you regard such evidence as nee
esSary?" asked the court
Necessary or NOT counsel for the
plaintiff thereupon produced a stream
OF belOwstairs witnesses whose testi-
mony was followed by the reading of
dispositions of guests and friends who
Swore that Mrs. Gould never, to their
Knowledge, drank to excess and was
always affable, reserved and modest in
her language testimony directly OPP
posed to that which the defendants
witnesses have given.
1t was on account of the unexpected
attitude taken by the defence that Mr.
ShearD ran short of witnesses late in
the day and WAS obliged to introduce
the depnstions. He promised. however
to have a string of about so ready when
court opens tomorrow morning. They
will testify in rebuttal, to disprOve if

March inaugural.
