Later Malioy was allowed to tell of

had applied abusive epithets to him.
She was under the influence OF intoX-
ioants, in his opinion, on these occa-

These were for the most part after
the separation of Mr.. and Mrs. Gould,
the court holding that proof could be
offered of continued conditions which
would constitute reasons for Gould

After the ruling OF Justice Bowling,
Howard Gould was given permission
to present evidence to support his
charges that Mrs. Could was addicted

FELL AGAINST BANISTERs.
MaIloy mentioned an occasion when
he said MIS-. Gould repTimanded him
and then walked away, saying her
walk was unusual and that she fell
against the window and ricochetted
against the banisters. He said she
had ordered him to go outside and
then told him to come in and sit on a
lounge beside her. At this point Mr.
Shearn fnterposed with a motion to
have all that stricken out except

laugh in which Mrs. Gould Joined.
On cross exanination MallOy was
asked II he had not pressed Mr..
Gould for a renewal Of his contract as
manager OF Castle Gould at an in
crease IN salary TO $4,000 year,
about the time that Mr.. and Mrs.
Gould separated. Malloy stated that
he had made such an effort when
Mrs. GoHld informed him that he was
discharged and he wanted TO be sure
OF his status with his employer. He
now had q contract with aIr. Gould
at the sic, 900 a year rate, but that
fact did not influence his attitude

suit, he said He felt no luminosity
toward Mrs. Gould for having treated
him as she did, as he realized, he
said, that she was IN state OF in
toXIestion when she acted and talked
as he had testified.

gave a long list of estates by which
he had been EMPLOYED in Ensland
and described his duties at Castle
Gould which we're indicated as multi
farfous and responsible. It was sought
to show by this that the compensa-
ton he received from Mr.. Gould was
