Will Resist Payment of $250,- 000 Alimony--May Start Counter-suit New York, June 17 —Howard Gould is considering the advisability of starting & counter-suit for separa- tion against his wife. Such an ac- on, he thinks, would lessen the thances of Mrs. Gould’s obtaining a court decree fr alimony of $250,000 @ year. Mr, Gould sald, through one of bis friends, that he would be perfectly willing to set aside a sufficient sum for the support of his wife, but that he certainly would not entertain a demand for a quarter of a million dollars a year. Notonly {s such a sum ridiculously large, sald Mr. Gould’s friend, but Mr. Gould thinks, owing to the con- duct of Mrs. Gould during the lust three years they lived at Castle | Gould, she has no valid claim for such a sum, I fe likely that Mr. Gould would be willing to give his wife $100,000 a year alimony, al- though he has never sald so directly. I feel sure that Mr. Gould would cor- gent to a settlement of the sult on that basis. But ff the othersidecon- tinues to push its case and demands the quarter of # million year, Mr. Gould, will in all probability, enter a counter suit, alleging his wife’s tem- pers such that life with her !s!mpos- sible; that her actions constantly bumiliated him and that she is {nor- dinately extravagant. “Certainly Mr. Gould is not going to sit quietly under her accusations against his character. He no longer loves her and he knows that she no longer loves him ‘There {s nothing lets but the wish not to be “done ” Before the case is through there will be revelations far greater than al- ready have been made.” Briefs of the argument between Delancey Nicoll, attorney for How- ard Gould, and Clarence J. Sh.arn, counsel for Mrs. Gould, were submit- ted to Supreme Court Justice McCall, days. This argument took place last week and was on & motion by Mr. Nicoll to strike out three allega- tions from Mrs. Gould’s bill of com- plains. More Floods in Kentucky.
