PRISONERS IN BATTLE
JUST BEFORE SENTENCE
One Thought the Other Had
Told Damaging Story.

Judge Holmes In the United States
District Court yesterday sentenced
Rubin Norkin. $40 Southern Boulevard,
The Bronx, to six months in the Essex
county Jail In New Jersey for the theft
Of woollens from an interstate freight
train. Sidney Tigar Of 9s7 Trinity ave-
nue., The Bronx, who pleaded guilty TO
being implicated In the robbery. was
fined $500.
Besides the fine which was imposed
by the court Tigar received a black eye
from his former partner when they en-
gagged in a fight while entering the
court room. 1t was said that on the
day that Norkin was found guilty he
made statements which implicated Tigar
to Garrett w. Cotter. Assistant United
States Attorney. This caused enmity
between the two men. It is said. Norkin
was being taken into court by United
States deputies when Tigar confronted
him and. according to witnesses. made
a movement to attack him. Norkin was
too quick. and as he approached struck
Tigar, knocking him unconscious. IT
took some time to restore him.

FL. GOULD DIVORCE
RECOGNIZED HERE
Justice Mullan Rules French
Decree Stays Action of
Edith Kelly Gould.

Frank ]. Gould became free to wed
again yesterday when Supreme Court
Justice Mullan handed down a decision
upholding his demurrer to divorce
action brought against him here by
Edith Kelly Gould, his second wife,
whom he divorced In Paris In 1919.
Dispatches from Paris last May. said
Mr.. Gould was engaged to Florence Las
caz. a noted beauty of that city.
Mr.. Gould's demurrer protested that
Mrs. Gould had no cause OF action
against him here, as she had submitted
to the jurisdiction of the French courts
in entering defence to his action IN
Paris, and under the French decision
was no longer his wife, and therefore
not entitled to relief here either in her
divorce action or in a separation action
which she began at the same time.
This State. IN the absence OF binding
precedent In respect Of the comfy doc
trine, is svholly free to give effect to
the French decree or to treat 1t as a
nullity," Justice Mullan says in his
opinion There 10 admittedly no room
here for a suspicion Of fraudulent re-
sort to the French courts. Except in
the most technical Of senses. the parties
were permanently domiciled in France.
The defendant husband, to every real
ana SuDStantldl intent anu purpose, udo
become permanent inhabitant Of
France.
The plaintiff had misconduct In
France The defendant. on that ground,
invoked the laws of the country in which
they were living. The plaintiff had a
complete right to defend her husband s
suit and she availed Of 1t and took
advantage Of all the resources afford
ed by the French procedure. The issue
was tried upon the merits. she had
her full day in court. What reason Is
there that our courts, charged with the
guardianship Of the States sovereignty.
should deny extra territorial competency
to q decree obtained In such circum-
stances? I see none. and on the other
hand see every reason why the French
decree should be given effect here. l
think the question should be Why should
not the State recognize the decree?'
rather than Why should 1t recognize the
decree?"
Frank j. Gould Is 43 years old, the son
Of Jay Gould. His first wife was Miss
Helen Margaret Kelly, whom he mar
ried In 1901 and who divorced him In
1909. A year later he married Edith
Kelly. no relation to his former wife,
and secured the divorce from her in
France In 1919.
