The pleasant fiction that Gompers

spread about so much that old Sam

in Accounting Suit for
$82,0O0;O0O Estate.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 2s.-Mrs.
Finley J. Shepard, formerly Helen
Gould. revealed yesterday, in the ref
eree's hearing OF the accounting suit
involving the $S2, zoo, 900 estate of the
late Jay Gould, that she had objected
to marriages of three of her brothers,
George, Howard and Frank.
The question OF these marriages
has been frequently brought into the
hearing because OF a clause in the
Jay Gould will which specified that
should any of the children marry
without the consent OF the majority
of the trustees-George, Howard, Ed
win, Frank and Helen-they should
forfeit one-half their patrimony.
While Mrs. Shepard was on the
stand questions were fired at her by a
majority of the 35 lawyers actively
interested in the case, but she kept
her composure and answered careful
ly. although at times the queries were
Of a decidedly intimate nature.
She said that she had withheld her
consent to the marriage of her broth
er Howard, but that 1t did not make
any difference as his brothers gave
their approval.
Mrs. Shepard testified that she did
not consent to the second marriage of
Frank and did not know anything
about the third marriage until after
II had taken place. In regard to the
second wife, Edith Maude Kelly Gould
Mrs. Shepard replied to questioning &
that she did not know Mrs. Gould

day when their big brother brought
them home candy and an armload of
toys. Then big brother went to jail

Andrew probably will be freed to-
day, for no sooner had the story Of
his arrest appeared In the papers
than scores Of business men begged
to be allowed to make restitution of
the money and pay any charges that
might accrue. 1t is now believed Gro

Young Grohol actually arrested
himself. Saturday night he walked
into the office of jail Warden O'Neil
with a note asking that he be COM
lnitted to Jail. The note was from
Constable James Westwood OF Nc

mittment paper. The boy had no
guard except his own conscience.
Andy was working as helper on a
truck when he found the check for
$1,000 drawn on a Bridgeville bank.
He cashed it and spent the money
for candy and baubles for his little
brothers.
His father, learning of the source
of the money, told his son to give
himself up to the police, which the
boy did.
