EXECUTIVE MANSION, Special by Hearst leased wire service NEW YORK, November 4. Howard Gould, the second son of the late financier, Jay Gould, was unmercifully scored in court to-day by Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Katlicrlne Clemnions-Gould, when he outlined ills defense in the divorce action which Mrs. Gould has brought against him.

Mr. Gould, through his attorneys, Nieoll, Anable Lindsay, declared that his wife had been guilty of misconduct with Colonel Wll'iam F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill," some years before her marriage. In support of this' defense. Mr.

Gould's attorneys wished to take tiie testimony of Miss Helen Mar of London, who has appeared on the stage and is known as a public reader.

Mr. Shearn declared that such a charge coming from a husband who had lived with his wife eight vears, put the man benr-ath contempt.
