1NTiMATED HE WILL FURTHER
HUMILIATE WIFE BY GOING
ON STAND

New York. June 1S.-- The process
sion of servants and employees to the
witness stand in the Gould divorce
case, continued today. Since the third
day, when Mrs. Gould lost control of
her feelings and wept, she has kept
herself we'll in hand. The only sign
she has made since was a shake of
her head or smile of sarcasm.
Attorney Nicoll, for Mr.. Gould. said
he might call the latter to the stand
during the day and Counsel Shearn,
representing Mrs Gould, promised a
severe croJs-examination if this hap
pened
Valet DivuIges Secrets
Harry j. Veitch, formerly employed
as valet by Mrs. Gould. was called |
by the defence During his employ
ment. he travelled with Mrs. Gould to
the West Indies and to Europe and
attended her at the st. Regis totel
and Castle Could. He said he assisted
her in preparing her toilet on one oc-
casion. He said he saw her under
the influence of liquor several times,
and that she drank great deal of /
liquor. yeitch described one incident
at Castle Gould when she drank very |
much. becoming boisterous and |
threatening to fire everybody ON the
place. She asked me to tie her slip
pers, and when started to do SO,
kicked them off in the air., said the
witness. f'And later in the evening,
though staggering, Mrs. Gould ord cred
two more cocktails"
Always obeyed Orders
Veitch told of an incident in the
st. Regis kotel when Mrs. Gould or
dered him to throw table laden
with dishes into the hall He said
Mrs. Gould stood at the door of her
apartments watching him and ex-
pressed approval when he threw the
table into the main corridor. He said
it made great racket. He believed
no one sa him do it, but he merely
did it bcause he was told to and Mrs.
Gould stool by to see that he obeyed
her orders.
Insurance Agent Testifes
Henry H. Knowles, an insurance
agent, said he took dinner with the
Goulds at The st. Regis one time
when Mrs. Gould became very disa-
greeable. He said also that Could
left the toble on yne occasion when
his wife was drinking Knowles re-
ferred to an automobile trip from
Paris to Nice. and said Mrs. Gould
continually complained to her hus-
band and dsed strong language He
said they attended mask ball in cos

Mine VS. Trilby, and Mr. Gould
appeared IS cupid was his answer.
This brought great laugh, in which
Mrs. Gould joined, looking at her hus-
band and Enjoying his discontinue.
Trying to Justify Abandonment.
Indications are that the plaintiff
must endure for another day, possibly 4
for two. the embarrassing ordeal of
listening to the testimony Of former
servants. all of whom have been
called at the instance of her husband
to sustain, if possible, his contention
that living with his wife was imprac-
ticable and unpleasant. hence the |
charge of abandonment, the mainstay
of Mrs. Goald's case, is not borne out.

few days ago. the grant board agrees
to recognize the validity of the Mon
toya allotment within certain bOundar-
les as fixed by the board, under which,
the allotment would be cut about one
half the size claimed by the Placita
Ranch company, and to convey this
tract absolutely to Attorney Louis G.
Ilfeld, as trustee, by whom deeds are
to be given to the various claimants
according to their respective inter
ests.
Totals About $4,000 Acres
The land claimed to be within the
original allotment, together with the
tract known as the Circle pasture,
contains about $4,000 acres. The Cir
Gle pasture is tract of land which
has been n possession of William
Kroenig and his father for the last
40 or so years, and was originally sup.
posed to re within the. John Scolly
81 dut, LuC p0tCht w WulSht hOWCfCl,
left it inside the Las Vegas grant. All
of this, together with the portion of
the Montoya allotment, title to which
is now recognized, is to be decided to
the claimants, who are described as
the Placita Ranch company, Theodore
Gaussoin and Manuel Macs. anI the
board is to receive in payment s2O,-
600.
Board viii Get $4,000
The result of this compromise is
that the grant board will receive
$4,000, for its disputed claim to
the Montoya allotment and the Circle
pasture, containing in all about 25,-
900 acres, or in other words, it will
dispose of This claim at the rate of
about eighty cents an acre. This is
by far the most liberal settlement
made by the board on any large tract
inside the grant, previous settlements
having been made on a basis of from
$150 to $3.50 an acre.
The entire matter is now in the
hands of Chief Justice William J.
Mills. as the resolution provides that
it shall not become effective until APP
proved by the court.
