Al bert O'Doll whose farm is about a mile from Mr. Colllns's had three acres of the same kind of corn last year and which was recommend ed by all of the farmers in that section to be the best piece of corn In Wayne county, which he says being all ground up, cobs and all, wouldn't make Ave tons.

Gardener Tdle of Her Reeling Against a Wall and Asserting Repeatedly "Who's Who" at Castle Gould Work er on the Estate Tolls What Murphy Got In the Way of an Epithet. Crowds Outside Court Jeer at Her as She Leaves. New York, June 17. Encouraged by .i ruling of Judgo Dowllug that habit ual drunkenness would be considered a cause for abandonment, I)t Lancey Xlcoll, attorney for Howard Gould, called other employee of Castle Gould In the suit of Mrs. Kathcrlne Oloin inons Gould against her husband for a soimratlon nnd !?2.-0,000 yearly al lowance' to testify along the sumo lines as the witnesses who declared Mrs. Gould drank and occasionally used profane language. Mrs. Gould has virtually become the defendant in the suit. A coachman nnmod Carlson told of having to drive with one hand on oiu occasion, using the other to keep Mr. Gould from falling out of the carrl igc. Drive In Deadwood Coach Style. Ills description of a "gallop down the hills of Larchmont," when Mrs. Gould drove, suggested to the hearers a dash In regular Deadwood coach style. Carlson proved n remarkable 1I0W.MI1 UOUI.U. witness. Every utterance seemed to hear the stamp of honest belief and conviction, and he could not bo shaken In any particulars of his testimony. Harry Turner, who has lived ut Cas tle Gould In charge of the greenhouses since April, IDIH). was the first witness called. "Did you see Mrs. Gould under the Influence of liquor In tho latter part of July or tlio early part of August?" was asked of Turner. Turner Says She Reeled. "At the end of July," he said, "or early in August I was returning from the greenhouses when I met Mrs. Gould under the nrch of the stables. While speaking to me she reeled against the arch." "Did you see her on nny other occa sion V" "Yes, on Nov. 0, In the presence of other heads of departments She drove up and commenced talking first to Mr. Molloy. One thing Mrs. Gould said was, 'I am Mrs. Howard Gould.' She repeated It at least a dozen times." "How did she act?" "Slie walked across the room and leaned against the wall." William Wlsong, a laborer at Castle Gould in 1902 and 1003, said he had seen Mrs. Gould under the Influence of liquor. "Once, in 1003;" he testified, "I heard Mrs. Gould scolding a man named Murphy. She called him a a very vile name." Crowd Jeered at -Her. When Mrs. Gould left the courtroom she had to run the gantlet of the ogling, Jostling and bold comments of a thousand persons. They ran In front of her, staring Into her face. They trampled on her skirts and even tried to pull aside the veil that was tightly drawn across her face. The curious Idlers crowded twenty .deep and bawled such things as "Do you coll her good looking?" "Sure, she's a' peach!" "Oct on to that mil Uon.dQllar hat!" The defense so far has called only employees, but Howard Gould and possibly some of his woalthy friends will tako the witness stand. i8i . -
