SANE REN ~~ sox How an Angry Husband Had Mrs. Gould Arrested: with a Dashing Mexican, and Why Mrs. Gould, Denying the Right of a French Divorce, is Coming to America to Accuse Frank J. of Serious Unfaithfulness. By Betty Van PARIS, Sept. 2. RE Frank J. Goulds marital troubles going to be the foundation upon which he is to build a successful business career and take Jp the work of his father? Persons close to him say that it has already had that tendency and that his home-coming to Rew York will take him from a somewhat 'gay life in palaces and with the Above, Frank J. Gould. On the Right, Mrs. R. H. Thomas, the Former Mrs. Gould. « $< » Mile.

He is bent upon coming home and assuming the reins. He had a like notion some years agn when he walked each day from his home in Fifth . avenue to his office and Surrounded himself with business men fora good part of the day. But he was not then, and is not now on good terms with the managerial part of the family, and he soon found himself keeping away from the lower Broadway office and eventually he was back in Europe living the life of ease that had been opened 'to him. . Very few of the kings or emperors of any time had any such place as he has set up near Paris. It has fittings and furnishings that Europe as a whole never did possess, and prob. ably will never fully understand. Nero had no such playground for his court favorites, and the walks given by Caesar to the Roman public in his will were bat cow paths in comparison with the beautifully laid out grounds of this million- aire's palace of palaces. For the mirrored bath, large enough for 100 to swim in at a time, the old Roman would have given more of his empive than he burned, and fiddling would have gone out of fashion in his own castle. x Mrs. Gould's New Turn Things have reached a pass with Mr. Gould where the divorce courts offer as much trouble as business ventures. Mrs. Gould, from whom he got & divorce after charging her with sustain. ing a friendship with a Mexican youth, born to the cactus purple, has suddenly taken a new turn with her case, and whers she allowed an unde- fended action to result in divorcg, she now pleads that the French court had no jurisdiction to hear the case because she is an American citizen by virtue of her marriage to Gould. That, strangely, was the very same iE i F gis §isE Mrs. Frank J. Gould, Who Was Arrested and Fined in Paris on the Complaint of Her Husband. tion of whose family, she has lived since the di- vorce was granted. She promised many sensa- tions from her side of the case and it seems that in any event the American chapter of the Gould divorce will transcend the first one in this city. Mrs. Gould claims that she hag been held as virtually a prisoner for many months; that given sutomobiles, she was forbidden to use them; given clothing, she might not wear it. But, given jewels, she managed to conceal them so well that even the final court action--in so far as it Is final--found her still possesting the rare gems. I am told by. counsel for Mr. Gould that it will take three or four months for the divorce decree to become final, even if the court assumes juris. diction in the face of her pleading. He says that she herself acknowledged the jurisdiction of ths court by making a number of appeals, and that her new turn is entirely a reversal of form from her side of the case. Early in July Mr. Gould asked for an American passport. He will prob. ably find some delay and then will wish to wait and see the outcome in France. On the other hand, the difficulties attending the coming of Mrs. Gould to America have been many. Her Mexican friend, strong in his relation. ships in Spain, declares that he will arrange for the necessary papers through that country. He says that he is coming to America and will stand by Mrs. Gould to a finish. - In the meantime Mr. Gould finds the society of the woman who was named by his wife, former wife of a San Francisco architect, charming and appears to find in the Paris association an added reason for not rushing his start to the home town. But they are asking in Paris if his new trou / bles will be the making of a business career, and he is answering the question with an affirmative that may mean much. -- is, indeed, astonishing. It was in October, 1918, that Gould had his wife and her Mexican friend, Mario Casasus, arrested and they were fined fifty frases each by the Core jictional Cuust in Faris on & charge that coal heaver who his life and income Ambulance Corps. His family is one of the wealthiest and most influential in Mexico. Then came Mrs. Gould's declaration that she is going to return to New York, file a counter suit, and obtain a divorce from Gould, naming Mile.

A later, Mrs. Heynemann brought suit for divorce in San Francisco and won her action. Mile. Lacaze returned to the stage in Paris and at the time she is said to have become acquainted with Gould was playing in the Theatre Folies Bergere. The Marital Tangle Frank J. Gould first married Helen elly, daughter of the late Edward Kelly of York. The late Bishop Greer performed the ceremony. The couple lived together for six years during which time two daughters were born, Helen Margaret and Dorothy Gould.
