Mrs. Burkett Now Doubts
Roosevelt Was Borrower

Mrs. Emma Richardson Burkett, Of
Hlllsdaie, Ind, on trial before Judge
Alfred Talley in General Sessions,
charged with forging the name of the
late Theodore Roosevelt to a note for
$4,000, took the stand yesterday. Just
before she was called Louis Fabricant.
her counsel, told the jury that the de-
Tense would be based on a plea of in
sanity. He said his client had been
under observation in the Tombs prison
and at Bellevue Hospital for the last
two months.
Mrs. Burkett testified that the money
she says she lent to Colonel Roosevelt
was given her by an uncle, in a trunk
which she was not to open until ha
died, and that when he died she took
the money to justice of the peace,
named Peyton, who advised her to in
vest 1t in the Progressive campaign.
She said that Peyton met her in Chi
cago, where he introduced her to y
Mr.. Shunson and Colonel Roosevelt and
she lent the latter the money, for
which the note was given.
Questioned by Assistant District At
torney Dooling, Mrs. Burkett said that.
although she never had had the slight
est doubt that the man she met in Chi
cago and to whom she turned over the
money was the late President. since
she had heard Mrs. Roosevelt's testi-
mony doubt had arisen in her mind.
and for the first time the idea that she
had been imposed upon had entered her
head
Mrs. Burkett completed her direct
testimony, and recess was taken until
Monday, when the prosecution will
cross-examine her. Several physicians
will be called by the defense.

that animated by this purpose he re-
sorted to the French courts to obtain
q divorce from Mrs. Gould. although
she had previously instituted an action
against him for his misconduct.
Granted Husband Decree
After much litigation, in which Mrs.
Gould took the position that both she
and Mr.. Gould were American subjects
and therefore outside the French law,
the courts finally did assume jurisdic-
ton.
She had been advised that the de-
cree OF the French courts was not op-
erative in America, and that the proper
way to test out the validity of that de-
cree was by instituting an action in
New York against her husband for his
misconduct. This action was taken in
the Supreme Court of New York Coun-
ty, and the plea of Mr.. Gould that he
had procured a divorce against his wife
decision an appeal has been taken to
the Appellate Division. in which the
papers are to be served on October 90.
1t is for that court to determine with
cut the taking of any testimony or
hearing any witnesses, whether the
French courts did have jurisdiction in
the case.
with respect to Mr.. Gould's prop
erty in America, her rights as the
wife depend on whether she was legally
divorced in France. She has been
advised that under the French law.
even though divorced here, she would
be entitled to one-half of Mr.. Gould's
French property or French possess
sions.n
Mr.. and Mrs. Gould were married
by Scotch sheriff in Edinburgh in
1910. She is an English girl and was
IN the chorus when Mr. Gould first
met her. She was his second wife.
