EW YORK, May 5.—Mrs. Howard Gould, through a shrewd move | made by her counsel to-day, does not expect to be inconvenienced on her trip with her husband and a party of iriends on his yacht Niagara, the sailing of which had been arranged for Monday. She greatly feared that an order obtained compelling her to appear in court next Wednesday at a trial in be- half of Clifford Leigh. an actor who has sued her and Colonel Wililam F. Cody on a clalm of breach of contract, would pre- i Q)\Q MRS. HOWARD GOULD, T D R SO vent her from starting on Monday on the Niagara and that trip might have to be delayed. Attorney Hummel went before Judge Freeman to-day and obtained an order to show cause why the order for ihe ex- amination of Mrs. Gould should not be vacated. This is made returnable on Thursday next, the day following the. date set for the examination of Mrs. Gould. Mr. Hummel stated that there was no just cause for the examination of Mrs. Gould before the trial of the ac- tion, and more especially at this time when she had made all her plans for an extended trip on her husband’s yacht, and that the only object of it was to harass and annoy her. Judge Freeman, in an or- der to show cause, granted a stay, which prevents the examination from taking place until the hearing and detegmination of the motion to have the order Yor it va- cated entirely. I was informed yesterday that in view of this stay Mrs. Gould would proceed on her trip without any further delay. Mr. Leigh claims that he was_ und contract to'appear in A Lady of Venice" last year when Mrs. Gould (Katherine Clemmons) was on the stage. She was the leading lady, and the play was being produced under ‘the management of Col- onel Cody. Mr. Leigh sues to recover $1400 damages, alleging that his contract was broken.
