BUFFALO BILL AS
CO-RESPONDENT
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. An affi
davit setting forth on Information
and belief that prior to her marriage
to him, Katherine Clemmons' rela
tions with William F. Cody (Buffalo
Bill) were criminal and merltriclous,
was filed in the supreme court today
by Howard Gould. The affidavit de
clares that Miss Clemmons told
Gould that her relations with Cody
were purely of a business nature, but
that he has since learned that this
was not true. ' ' ', '
Through Katherine Mer of London,
England, Gould says he expects to
show that his wife confessed to Miss
Mer, the true nature of her relations
with Cody.
The case came up before Justice
O'Gorman today on the application
of Clarence Shearn, counsel for Mrs.
Gould, to have vacated an order
which Mr. Gould recently got 'from
Justice Fitzgerald for the examina
tion of Miss Mer as a witness in Mr.
Gould's suit for a separation.
Mr. Shearn argued that Mr.
Gould's affidavit does not divulge the
nature of the alleged relations be
tween his wife and Cody.
"We desire to have this order' va
cated," said Mr Shearn, "for the rea
son that in an action such as this.
where the wife lived with the de
fendant for eight years and has
brought action for separation should
be directly confronted with the "wo
man who made the statement that
twelve years ago, prior to their mar
riage, the plaintiff had maintained
merurtcious relations with some
other man. She should confront the
jury and be cross-examined." ;
