Anthony J. Dittmar obtained an injunction from Justice Fitzgerald in New York Supreme Court halting trustees Count and Countess de Castellane Edwin and George Gould Howard Gould and Helen M Gould from paying or applying any part of the Jay Gould trust estate to Anna Gould or her children until the court directs. The suit cites drafts totaling over 385000, with about 285000 overdue, and alleges Anna Gould holds 314000000 in trust while her income is about 100000. Counsel Dillon says de Castellane is not entitled to principal and the income is to be used for Anna’s maintenance, not her debts, until actually received.
