preme Court Ruling to BE
Served Oct. 20, She Says.
ATTACKS FRENCH DECREE
Statement Issued Through Her
Counsel Questions Action of
Foreign Tribunal.

Mrs. Edith Kelly Gould. whose action
for divorce from Frank J. Gould was
thrown out of the Supreme Court here
on the ground that Mr.. Gould had
already divorced her in the French
courts, issued statement yesterday
through Jenks & Rogers, her new attor-
neys. outlining the history of. the litiga-
ton here and abroad and reiterating her
determination to contest the Supreme
Courts adverse decision before the APP
pellate Division. Papers on the appeal
are to be served October 20, the state
ment says.
The only comment about her state
ment which Walter B. Walker of Leon
ard & Walker, Mr.. Gould'G attorneys.
would make was: MIR. Justice Mullan's
decision, rendered In July, speaks for it
self" Justice Mullan decided that this
State ought to recognize the French
courts decree as a matter of Comfy"
though he acknowledged there was no
binding precedent" on the question.
The statement Of Mrs. Gould's law
yers questions the Jurisdiction of the
French courts over the Goulds. She al
ways took the position that they were
American citizens and therefore not sub
iect to French jurisdiction. Neverthe-
less the French courts assumed jurisdic-
tfon, it says. tfs-N
Attention is called also to the pc
culiarity of American law which per-
mitted In. the Supreme Court and will
permit before the Appellate Division the
hearing of Mr.. Gould's plea that he had
obtained divorce against his wife
without the taking OF testimony on the
question.
with respect to Mrs. Goulds prop
erty rights in. America" the statement
continues. "her rights as the wife de-
pend upon whether she was legally di-
vorced in France. She has been ad-
vised that under the French law, even
though divorced there, she would be
entitled to one-half Of Mr.. Gould's
French property or French possess
sions."
Mr.. Gould has been living In Paris
most Of the time since 1913, when he
and Mrs. Gould went abroad. and his
interests there are considerable. But
most of his fortune-one-sixth of the
$76, 100000 estate of his father, Jay Gould

PROSPECT PARK LION
HASsT TEETH FILLED
Two Others Pulled for Captain
Jack, the Pet of Brooklyn
Children.
BROWN BEAR WATCHES
Many Spectators See Operation
Performed by DIR. John
f. Gillespie.

The diminutive brown bear which
Mayor Hylan accepted last July from a
trio Of big game hunters was the most
interested of many spectators yesterday
in the lion house in Prospect Park when
Captain Jack, 600 pound lion. had it's
teeth filled.
Captain Jack, once the property OF
Capt. Jack Bonavita. animal trainer and
tanner. was beQueathed to the children of
Brooklyn when Bonavita died. He was
born in captivity and has lived his twelve
years OF life behind bars. Thus his teeth
are not as nature intended them to be
and 1t was necessary for specialist to
overhaul his dental equipment yester-
day.
DR.. John F. Gillespie of 21s East
Eighth street, Brooklyn, who performed
the operation. said, after he had drawn
two Of the lions teeth and filled three
others, that If all human patients were
prepared for den tistry as lions are the
life OF the average practitioner of his
profession would be so attractive that
all mankind might want to become
dentists.
First the lion was thrown with a
moose passed into his cage at the end
of a stick. doped with hypodermic
shot Of some six or seven indicated
horsepower intensity. and rolled on his
back. with his four feet elevated, and
tied to cage bars. Thereafter a second
moose was slipped about his reck and
a strong, rubber covered balling iron
wedged between his jaws. Then his
head was tied down and the ailins
teeth treated with novocaine, and DR.
Gillespie went to work.
Ultimately when Captain Jacks, two
hopeless teeth were completely out ant
n
properly drilled and stopped. his lashings
were united and he was transferred
back to the cage where he spends the
bulk of his time roaring and thinking
He seemed to show no resentment ir
any direction, and after a brief consti-
tutional around the cage lay down and
went to sleep.
