MRS. GOULD IS WITNESS AGAIN

Takes the Stand and Gives Testimony In Rebuttal. EXAMINATION A LONG ONE Plaintiff and Her Lawyers Not Disconcerted Over the Btory Told on the Witness Stand by Mrs. Sells That Mrs. Gould Had Talked to Her About Returning to the Btage and Playing with Duatln Farnum—Actor 111 in Maine. New York, June 25. —Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould again was a witness In her suit for a separation and $250,000 a year alimony from Howard Gould. Delancey Nlcoll, the defendant’s counsel, subjected Mrs. Gould to a lengthy examination In rebuttal in re-

gard to the many incidents which have been referred to by Mr. Gould’s witnesses. Clarence J. Shearn, Mrs. Gould’s counsel, had one more deposition to read into the record that of Dustin Farming whose name has been linked with Mrs. Gould’s throughout the trial by the defense. Shearn said he had hoped to call the actor as a witness, hut that he had learned Farnum was ill in Maine and could not be reached. The deposition of Farnum told of various meetings with Mrs. Gould, most of which took place for talks concerning .Mrs. Gould’s desire to return to tlie stage. Farnum asserts there was nothing improper in the meetings. The statement by one of Mrs. Gould’s personal friends, Mrs. Sells, on the witness stand, that Mrs. Gould had talked to her about returning to the stage and playing with Dustin Farnum, did not appear to disconcert the plaintiff or her lawyers, as Shearn said that such testimony on the record only afforded Mrs. Gould an opportunity to explain the reasons for her friendliness with the actor in the fall of 1906.
