New York. March 2S.-Attorneys
for various heirs at law in the $751;
100000 estate of Jay Gould today
were planning steps to bring to early
trial the action against George J.
Gould now reported seriously i'll in
France in connection with his account
ing as executor and trustee of his
fathers estate. Their action followed
last nights announcement that all
parties concerned in the action had
stipulated that they agreed to con-
siders closed George Gould's examina-
ton before trial. This stipulation it
was explained was made because of
his serious condition.
The litigation which has been in the
courts since 1916 has not yet come
to trial. In lieu of further examina-
ton of Mr.. Gould it was stipulated
that a 1900 page deposition made by
him would be used in court. The rec
ord shows that Mr.. Gould was ex-
amined at length concerning his ad-
of the estate particularly
with relation to his management of
The souriPacific railroad and his
