MRS. DE SAULLES UNSHAKEN BY CROSS EXAMINATION
LITTLE WOMAN PROVES
MATCH FOR PROSECUTOR
(By International News Service.)
MINEOLA, L. I, Nov. 27.—~Mrs.
Blanca DeSaulles, -charged with the
murder of her husband, John Longer
DeSaulles, withstood a grueling cross
€xamination here today at the hands
of District Attorney Weeks. But the
little woman emerged from the morn-
Ing session with her direct testimony
unshaken,
The prosecution assailed Mrs. De-
Saulles’ testimony from every angle.
He was soft spoken, but adroit. He
derided the contention of the de
‘fense that it was possible for Mrs.
DeSaulles ‘to suffer a lapse of mem
ory during the progress of the mur
der and then to recover rapidly and
80 comuypletely.
The Distriect Attorney struck from
an unexpected angle when he intro
duced a series of letters between the
defendant and her husband. His ob-
Ject was to show that there was doubt
in Mrs. DeSaulles’ mind as early as
1914 ag to her husband’s loyalty and
faithfulness.
Asked if she was sincere in her
manifestations of love, Mrs. D¢
Saulles replied:
“I think I was at the time. But 1
wag at bay and was forced to resort
to flattery in my’ effort to hold him.
}hthnught I had a perfect right to do
at”
All of District Attorney Weeks' ef
forts to’trap Mrs. DeSaulles into
making conflicting statements failed.
She considered all questions well be
fore replying and then answered in
a low but confident tone. ¢
Among the first to reach the ecourt
house today was Henry Uterhart,
leading counsel for the defense. He
was jubilant and predicted # speedy
acquittal by the jury. Though in
tears himself during the dramatic re
cital of the shooting by the petite de
fendant, the attorney also was aware
of the effect her story was having
on others.
He saw twelve jurors sitting with
bowed heads and five of them in
tears. He saw Justice Manning, site
ting in the case, mysteriously apply
ing his handkerchief to his eyes. And
he heard sobs from all over the court
room.
Though, as claimed, her,bm!n is
dulled, and though she might have
been under the influence of powerful
drugs, the breathless audience was
willing to agree the recital could not
have been more dramatic.
The story of her love for her hus
band, as told in her letters to him,
and the story of his alleged neglect
and abuse of his wife left its im
sresalon. One who best knows these
acts is District Attorney Weeks, who
began the cross-examination when
court convened this morning. Fol
lowing this ordeal, Senora Vergara
Errazuriz, the mother of the defend
ant, will testify. Then will come!

Amilio, her sister. and William, her
borther.
In all, the defense will introduce
approximately twelve witnesses. Aside
from the defendant, the most inter
esting feature is expected to develop
in the battlé of alienists. Both sides
have obtained the, services of some
‘of the best known alienists in New
' York, each hoping to offset the oth
‘ers‘ testimony regarding the alleged
‘ailment of the defendant—temporary
irresponsibility.
Memory Lapse Attacked.
As she again took her seat on the
witness stand today Mrs. De Saulles
looked paler than usuall in a white
creep de chiné blouse. She wore a
blue satin skirt.
District Attorney Weeks lost no
time in attacking the defense plea—
lapse of mémory and temporary irre-
Sponsibility.
“You stated yesterday you recalled
nothing from the time your husband
said you couldd not see your boy un
til you regain d consciousness at the
Jull.- Is Ith right?” the attorney
asked.
T i ot witness replied, her
fairly even t« s suggesting she was
master of the situation.
“Have, you suffered any lapse of
memory since that time?”
“I Fave not.”
“Then you romergber all you testi
fied to yesterday?'
,“Yes, T think 1 do.”
“Now, may I ask, when did you first
find out your husband did not care
for yqu?”
“When we went to Burope before
the war.” bear
“Were you happy at South Bethle
hem while with the De' Saulles fam
iy 7
The witness was not clear on the
question and did not reply.
Attorney Weeks took a sudden turn
in his attack and produced a letter
written by the defendant immediate
ly after the birth of the boy. The
letter was to De Saulles and said in
part:
Husband Called Ideal.
“You have been such a precious
ideal husband and now you are also
an ideal father.”
“Were you sincere when you wrote
that letter?” she was asked.
“I meant part of it,” was the reply.
Before introducing a second letter,
the witness was asked if her husbhand
had become somewhat neglectful
while she was in London, in 1914,
“He had,” she replied.
The second letter was written by
the wife in London while De Saulles,
with the baby, remained in New York,
It emphasized her faithfulness to her
husband, adding she “was playing in
the sunshine, drinking it all in, for
getful of eyerything, except the joys
of living.”
She admitted she was happy and

‘having a good time when she wrote
the letter, “happy,” she explained,
“because she was with her own rela
tives,” :
The prosecution received a set
back when it tried to prove that the
witness was very happy when she
wrote the letter. The court inter
vened and permitted Mrs. De Saulles
to explain her “happiness.”
“I will say I never wrote a let
ter,” she said, “permitting persons to
get the idea I was not happy. é was
‘proud and wanted them all to believe
I was happy.”
When asked if she had a good time
at dances and private theatricals while
in London, Mrs. DeSaulles replied: “I
was bored to death.”
Admits Using Flattery.
Asked how she could be unhappy
and write such loving letters to her
husbhand, she said:
“Iwesorted to flattery.” 5
Mrs. DeSaulles said that, in a way,
she even thought at that time, 1914,
her husband had married her for her
money.
Returning to her story that she had
seen her former husband and the
Duke of Manchester on a yacht sur
rounded by a bevy of Beadway beau-

ties, the District Attorney sought to
show why the Duke and DeSaulles
should be so “chummy.”
“Don't you know, Mrs. DeSaulles,
that your husband and the Duke were
working on a large war contract to
furnish horses to the Canadian Gov
ernment?” he asked.
“I heard of a war contrget, but did
n;)t know of the details,” was the re
ply.
“Don’t you know that those two
gentlemen cleaned up $50,000 on that
contract?”
“If they did, 1 did not see the
money.”
Referring to the time in the fall of
1914 when, as the witness told, she
was humiliated by a hotel clerk in
London who asked her “which wife
she was,” Weeks produced another
letter.
The letter was written on the ar
rival of the defendant in America to
the husband. who was then ,n France.
The date was Christmas, 1914,
The letter professed love and lone
liness for the husband, but the de
fendant said:
“I was very unhappy and very hurt,
My heart was browen when 1
wrote it.”
“Did you really think your husband
was working as hard as you implied
in your letter to him?”
“Well, he told me he was working
so hard he had no time to look after
me.,” ‘
¥ Soldier’'s Name Injected.
Then the prosecution for the first
time brought in the name of Harold
Fowler, a New York man, now fight
ing in France.
It was Fowler with whom Mrs. Se-
Saulles dined in London; it was Fowl
er who was on the Lusitania on the
return from London, and it was Fowl- |
er with whom she dined after arriving
in New York. ‘
“I should like to ask,” said the at
tornev, ‘““was your heart broken at that
time ?"”
“I was miserable.”
“Well, can you dance with your feet
when your heart is broken?”
“I can and have.”
Then followed another series of let
ters by which the prosecution hoped
to offset the claim of a broken heart
which led up to the shooting.
Going back to her testimony of yes
terday, when she said that when she
heard of the Lusitania going down
“she wished she was on it,” the at
torney asked if she recalled making
the statement.
“I don't know that I made the state
ment, but T wished it.”
“Isn’t it a fact hat Mr. DeSaulles
said that he wished he was on the
boat?”
She smiled as she replied: “I don't
remember.”
‘“When you were on the steamship
C"alamares going to Chile, did you feel
that you were glad to get away from
your married troubles?”
™ .
“Well, did you fee] that such life
had come to an end?”
“Yes, morally.”
When asked if she intended coming
back when she made the trip to Chile,
she shook her head, rubbed her eyes
and replied: |
“l don't know what I intended do
ing.” ‘ ‘
The prosecution then produced a
letter written by Blanca to her hus
band thanking him for flowers that he
had sent her in Chile as as an evi
dence that his love for her had not
ceased. l
“Is it true that since the birth of
yvour child you were a wife to your
|husband in name only?” Weeks de
manded.
“Thta is not true,” came the hot re
tort. “I was a wife to him, but I told
Mrs. Hechsher, his sister, that 1 was
not. That matter was my affair.”
Defendant Always Calm.
Try as he might, District Attorney
Weeks found it utterly impossible to
get Mrs. DeSaulles confused. She
repeated dates, names and occur
rences as authentically and auickly
as though her troubles were but of
yesterday.
She recalled all—all but the shoot
ing and the day following which she
spent in the Nassau County jail.
Smilingly confident, the colorless
defendant also deniewi remembering a
conversation she had on the day fol
lowing the shooting with the district
attorney. She recalled nothing owu
that day—nothing until the day fos
lowing, when her present counsel,
Henry Uterhart, called on her.
The witness denied she had given
details of her married life to her
counsel so that he in turn could give
out interviews to the New York pa
pers. The interviews had to ao with
the alleged gay life of Jack DeSaulles.
Mrs. DeSaulles could not, or did
not, recall having secured the serv
ices of Mr. Uterhart, or her attend
ing physician, J. S. Wight. She sup
posed “some one else took care of
these things.”
Occasionally she smiled. The thin
lips widened into a straight line and
her big dark eyes dispelled, at least
rduring the smiles, any suggestions of
apathy. In these instances she was
again the beautiful Chilean girl.
With a smile that . reflected
throughout the courtroom, Mrs. De-
Saulles told the prosecuting attorney
that she was growing very tired.
“Do you mean that I become tire
some to yvou as I ask vou these ques
tions?” asked the attorney.
“Yes,” she said, smilingly, ‘very
much sO.” . .
The court then recessed for the
noon hour. '

While Deputy Marshal . M. Lancas
ter, of the Municipal Court, Tuesday
was standing in front of a garage in
Marijetta street he noticed a Ford car
stop in front of a vacant house at Na.

suitcase and dart into the house. '
His suspicions aroused, the officer
peeped through a window and discov
ered still another man in the house.
The two men were busily engaged in
removing liquor from the suitcase.
Both were taken into custody by Dep
uty Lancaster and locked in the Tower.
The man with the suitcase gave his
name as C. A. Puckett, of Forsyth
County, and the other as H. L. Bagley,
of No. 123 Paynes avenue. The whisky
—three gallons—was confiscated.
It was believed by officials that the
vacant house was being used as a reg

famine in Atlanta, Ivan E. Allen,
president of the Atlanta CChamber ot
Commerce, has taken the matter up
and is urging immediate action.
Dr. Hardman, in a telegram to Mr.
Allen Tuesday, said that he intended
to vigorously follow up his request
for 60,000 tons, which was filed fol
lowing a conference with Chamber of
Commerce officials and Atlanta coal
dealers several days ago. This was
the second appeal made by Dr. Hard
man, neither of which has brought
any relief,
Senator Hoke Smith, who wired
Monday that the Government would
not take action until the request came
from local or State administration of
ficials, was notified Tuesday that
Henry Kennedy, Atlanta Fuel Admin
istrator, has confirmed the statement
of conditions, and that Dr. Hard
man, realizing the seriousness of the
situation, had stated he would put
forth renewed efforts to have coal
shipped here.
Mr. Allen urged that Senator Smith
make efforts to secure action by the
Federal Administration on the re
quests of Dr. Hardman.
Despite the statement of Dr. Hard
man, following the conference in At
lanta, that more than 100,000 tons of
coal have been received in Atlanta
this year in excess of the receipts of
last year, Atlanta coal dealers re
ported Monday that they can not get
coal, and that there is no coal in the
city.
