MRS.ANGELLPERSISTS '
The Alleged Widow of Jay Gould Be-.
gins Another Lawsuit.
AFTER A Mrsrssious DEED.
She Says It Conveyed All Her Right In
the Millionaire’s ‘Estate to Others. Was
Obtained by Trick and' Device,
and Wants It Set Aside.
ALBANY, Aug. 24. —New complications
have arisen in the now famous litigation
of Sarah Brown Angell against George J.
GOuId and other heirs of the late Jay
Gould. Mrs. Angel] has sued to set aside
a deed alleged to have been given to Mar-
garetE. Cody of Denver and Amasa J.
Parker, Jr., of Albany, granting to them
her dower rights in the real estate of Jay
Gould, to whom she claims to have been
married away back in the fifties, when
Gould was a surveyor.
“Speculators” is the name which coun-
sel for Mrs. Angeli apply to Mrs. Cody,
Parker and William McMurtle Speer, who
are interested in the deed. Fraud and un-
.due influence will be made the grounds
on which Mrs. Angell’s lawsuit to set
- aside the deed will be based. The docu~
ment is believed to be somewhere between
New York city and Denver. Ten days ago
it was sent for record to the New York
county clerk’s office, but because of an in-
formality in execution the instrument was
returned to Teller, Orahood & Morgan,
attorneys, of Denver for correction.
The recording of the deed and the action
to set aside may delay Mrs. Angeli’s suit
against the Gould heirs, but her attorney
is certain of success. There is over $1,000,; .
000 in this state in which-shefclaims to
have an interest and $1,500,000 outside
the state. ' When the New York action is
over, suits will be brought outside the
state. ,3
' Think They See the Gould Hand.
The action to set aside the Parker-Cody
conveyance will be begun just as soon as
District Attorney Everest of Clinton coun- ‘
ty can draw and serve the summons and
complaint and will be pushed to trial with
vigor. The attorneys are incensed at the
persons who have the deed and intimate
that the wealth and power of the Goulds
have not a little to do with the recording of
the deed. Attorneys for the Goulds, how-
ever, deny that any attempt has been made
To buy ofi Mrs. An-
geli with money would, be an admission
that there is merit in the assertion of
Mrs. Angeli that she was the lawful wife
of Jay Gould.
Out in Rock Springs, 13., the story be-
gan when Mrs. Angeli told her friends
that'her mother claimed to have been the
wife of Jay Gould. Gossip brought the
tale to the ears of M.rs Cody, who says
she is an aunt of Buffalo Bill. She is a
shrewd woman 'of 60, and to Rouse’ s
Point, where Mrs. Angeli lives, Mrs. Cody
traveled.
While there, in April, 1895, she met
Amasa J. Parker, of Albany, and William
McMurtie Speer of New York city, then
of Albany. Parker and Speer had learned
of the Gould widow story and were search-
ing for Mrs. Angeli. Between the three,
it is alleged, a compact was made. '
Mrs. Cody was to secure evidence, and
Parker and Speer Were to bring the suit,
Parker as counsel and Speer in an ad-
visory capacity. Mrs. Cody went on the
hunt and succeeded, she claims, in un-
earthing much evidence. The force of
Mrs. Cody may be judged from the fact
that she told several witnesses not to talk
except to her, and the power of the court-
had to be invoked before those Witnesses
would talk.
Mrs. Angeli Signs the Deed.
Lawyer Walter E. Ward says that on
July 1,1895, Mrs. Cody and Parker went,
to Mrs. Angeli and took with them James
B. Stearns, a lawyer and notary public of
Rouse’s Point. Mr. Ward says that Mrs.
Angeli was told that she must execute the
deed in order to sucessfully prosecute the
lawsuit against the Gould heirs, and that
she would be “all right.” Mrs. Angeli,
he says, signed the deed which conveys
“all the right, title and interest in and to
all property of Jay Gould. ”
The consideration named in the alleged
deed is $1 and other valuable considera-
tions. The witnesses were Stearns and
John Angeli, husband of the claimant.
'Some time after the execution of the al-
leged deed there was a falling out of the
persons behind Mrs. Angeli. It is said
that Mrs: Cody grew angry because she
had not been paid money thatshe claimed
was due from Speer.
At any rate new counsel was sought.
Newton B. Vanderzee, an Albany attor-
ney, was consulted, and he made an in-
vestigation. He learned, it is said, of the
Parker-Cody deed and asked Mr. Parker
to give it up. Parker said; “Never.”
Vanderzee soon dropped the case, and
Ward & Cameron of this city were retain-
ed. They entered upon a vigorous prose-
cution. Several witnesses have been ex-
amined, and the cause had a rosy hue un-
til the deed appeared.
Some of the counsel for Mrs. Angeli
allege that Mrs. Cody in some way ob-
tained possession of the deed and is now
working on her own account. Senator
Henry M. Teller is the senior member of
the firm which sent the deed for record
and will probably appear for Mrs. Cody.

FINDLAY, 0., Aug. 24.—Oscar Wam-
mock met his death in a horrible manner
near Bluflton last night. He was drilling
a well for the Ohio Oil company when it

died in a few hours. .

DISCOI ETENT IN SPAIN.
The Troops Urged to Mutiny and to' Re-
fuse to Embark For Cubs. ‘
MADRID, Aug. 24.4A manifesto has been
scattered broadcast in Barcelona. urging
the troops now under orders to re- -enforce
the Spanish army in Cuba to refuse to
embark and telling them to resist all at-
tempts to compel them to leave Spain with
force. The people are also urged to rebel
against the government, thus preventing
the departure of the soldiers. Several ar-
rests have already been made, and the
government has taken extra precautions
to insure the departure of the troops as
planned and to suppress the threatened
disorder.
The premier, Senor Canovas del Castil-
lo, in an interview is quoted as saying
that the government has instructed the
governor of the Philippine islands, Cap-
tain General B. Blanco, to act energetic-
ally in the matter of the intrigues and to
watch the secret societies. . If necessary,
the premier added, the gurrisons of the
island's will be re—enforoed.
Regarding the conspiracies at Valenica,
Saragossa and elsewhere, Senor Canovas
del Castillo said there was no dbubt they
were caused by agents of the Cuban in-
surgents,w who thereby hoped to distract
Spain’ s attention
The premier also said the government
hoped to obtain a loan of 600, 000, 000
pesetas, guaranteed by the railway com-
panies, and concluded with declaring that
Spain would not seek reparation for the
Key West incident as the United States
had not demanded oration for an ami-
ogous manifestation upon the part of the
students of Valencia.
After a stormy and troubled day and
many minor conflicts between the police
and the populace the troops designed to
re—enforoe the- Spanish army in Cuba em-
barked on board the boats in the harbor.
The policxa finally succeeded in destroying
the placards which had been posted call-

HOKB SMITH’S RESIGNATION.
It Will Probably Take Efl'ect After the
- Democratic Gold Convention. .
WASHING'BON, Aug. 24.—Referring to
the announcement that. Secretary ,Hoke
Smith had resigned from the cabinet and
that his resignation has been accepted
by President Cleveland, The Star of. this
city says:
Secretary Smith will probably retire im-
mediately after the Indianapolis gold
Democratic convention. Those who are
familiar with the relations which exist be-
tween Mr. Cleveland and his cabinet say
that there never has at any time been the
least friction between Secretary Smith and
the president or between any members of
the cabinet, and that the personal rela-
tions between the president and Mr. Smith
are still most cordial.
Mr. Smith has enjoyed the respect and
confidence of Mr. Cleveland at all times
and has been given the broadest latitude
ever given any cabinet oflicer in the man-
agement of. affairs of his department. It
is known to all the cabinet and to such
persons as are in the president’s confidence
in this matter; thatit is With sincere re.
gret that he sees Mr. Smith separate ofl‘i-
cialiy from the administration, but the
secretary’s Sense of the fitness of things
- wouldnot admit". of his remaining'in the
cabinet after he found himself not in po-
litical accord with the president and the
other members of: the cabinet,- and that
he could not yield his opinions on amount
of his position or his personal friendship
for the president.
THE ORETANS MAY YIELD.
Although the Concessions Are Far Short
of the Assembly’s Demands. 1
ATHENS, Aug. 24. —-It is reported here
’that the consuls at Canea have been in-
structed to inferm the Cretans that they
must accept the concessions obtained for
them by the powers or otherwise lose the
sympathies of .Europe. The. Turks are to
be given a free hand in Crete. ‘
Because of the pressure on the part of
the powers, Greece has made similar rep-
resentations tothe Cretans, and it is be-
lieved that the Cretans will yield, although
the concessions are far short of the de-
mands of the assembly.
