Albany, J u n e 2-3.—Because he
was refused the hand of Tonyea
Desibafanio, aged 14, with wlhom he
was desperately in love, Rosario Del
Taipoilo, aged 3:5, attempted to kill
the girl and h e r ' mother today at
their home in the Italian colony in
the south end of the city. He made,
his escape only to return to end his
own life by shotting Wmself in the
bead in the room occupied by the
young girl. "He died almost instantly. The' mother and daughter were
removed to a hospital and are in a
serious condition suffering from bullet and stabbing wounds.
After being informed last night by
the father of the girl that he could
not marry his daughter, Del Tapolo
returned to the house early this
morning and asked to see her. When
informed by 'Mrs. Destafauio that she
was still in bed and could net be
seen he went away but returned a
few minutes later and demanded that
he be permitted to see Tonyea. Words
passed between t h e mother and Del
Tapolo when t h e girl appeared at the
front door and attempted to act as
peacemaker. After talking to her. a
short time the man suddenly pulled
a thirty-two caliber revolver from hiapocket and fired twice at the girl, one
uif the bullets taking effect in the
back and passing through the side of
the body. She staggered and then
tumbled over the railing of .the stoop
into the basement.
The mother rushed to t h e girl's
assistance and was attacked by Del
Tapolo, who used a game knife, with
a blade about fire inches long. He
stabbed her several times until, seeing a man approaching, he made his
asecpe. He returned to the house
and killed himself while a search
was being made for him.

MRS. GOULD DECLARES TESTIMONY AGAINST HER EVERY
B I T FALSE.
STRING OF SEVERS'
Never Tries to Harness Mules, Never
Called Actor "My New Beau," Never Drank Two Quarts of Cocktails
in Two Days.
New York, J u n e 24.—Katherine
Clemmons Gould was called back to
the stand today for a final ordeal to
explain away, if possible, the damaging testimony given by the witnesses
for her husband in her suit for separation and alimony of $250,000 a
year.
It was a day of denials, beginning
with the reading of the deposition of
Dustin Farnum, the actor, who denied in toto all allegations of improper conduct with Mrs. Gould and
ending with Mrs. Gould's repeated
denials of practically everything in
word, or action attributed to her by
the witnesses for the other side.
For two warm hours Mrs. Gould]
answered the questions of her counsel, repudiating with a monotonous
flat denial all testimony and insinuations charging her with excessive
drinking, profanity or other impropriety. She never drank to excess,
never used profane language, never
forgot her dignity as mistress of Castle Gould and never overstepped the
bounds of propriety, she declared in
substance,
Denials by Wholesale.
Getting down to specific instances,
s h e told her counsel that she haid
never tried to hitch u.p a pair of
mules, had never ordered a tableful
of dishes and food thrown from her
St. Regis apartments, had never referred to Dustin Farnum as "my new
beau," never quarreled with her husband before company, never had a
coachman's arm about iher waist to
hold her on the carriage seat, never
discharged an employe in anger, never became intoxicated aboard the
yacht Niagara and never consumed
two quarts of cocktails in two days.
Mrs. Gould's explanation of h e r
friendship with Dustin Farnum nat- •
urally took u.p a considerable portion
of her time today. Whatever intimacy there had been between her and/
the.actor she said was accounted for
by her desire to have his advice regarding her plans to return to t h e
stage.
"Home Broken Up."
"My home had been broken u p , "
she said, "all authority had been t a k en from me, my happiness was gone
and I wanted some occupation to d i vert my mind. I thought of retururing to the stage and 'wanted to t a l k
the matter with Mr. Farnum, who, I
was convinced, would be able to help
me."
Mrs. Gould said t h a t Mr. F a r n u m
had never been in her parlor at t h e
St. Regis except on the August afternoon in 1904 when they lunched together with several others, and o n
the occasion of t h e automobile accident on Long Island, when they returned there to arrange for bail for
the chauffeur. She had never ad>dressed Mr. Farnum by any endearing names, she said, and had never
permuted any improper familiarity
on his part.
Wunts to See Meal Checks.
Justice Dowling said late this afternoon that he wanted to look later
at Mrs. Gould's now famous dinner
checks at the Hotel St. Regis.
" I hadn't intended to mention:
them," declared Mr. Shearn, perturbed. He promised to produce
them for the Court's inspection t o morrow, however.
It was late whon Mr. Shearn concluded his questioning of Mrs. Gould
and Justice Dowling decided to postpone the cro-is-pxamlnatlon until t o morrow, wJien it is believed the case
will close.
