MRS. DE SAULLES UNSHAKEN BY CROSS EXAMINATION
LITTLE WOMAN PROVES
MATCH FOR PROSECUTOR
By HERBERT N. BERG,
International News Service Staff Cor
respondent.
MINEOLA, L. I, Nov. 27.—Declar
ing she suffered a complete lapse of
memory from the night she shot her
husband, August 3, 1917, until the
morning of August 13, Mrs. Blanca
DeSaulles, charged with the murder
of her husband, completely ba ed the
prosecution for two hours late today.
Without the slightest tremor she
answered all questions leading up to
the shooting and then, the thiatus—
the lapse of ten days during which
she could recall nothing.
“The last thing I recall,” she said,
“after entering ' ‘The Box' (the De-
Saulles’ country home) is DeCaulles’
eyes. The next thing is talking to Dr,
Wight on August 13.”
Mrs. DeSaulles readily recalled tak
ing the revolver with her when she
went to get her hat before starting
for “The Box” for her boy. She ad
mitted she carried the weapon when
alone and that she was afraid that
right even her maid was with her.
She recalled telling her chauffeur
to wait while she went itno the house
after little Jack.
" Memory Fied.
“The first person I saw was my boy
with Mrs. Degener” (her sister-in
law), she said. “I spoke to her and
went on into the house. Then 1 saw
DeSaulles and spoke to him about
my boy. I don't remember anything
else.”
District Atlorney Weeks gently but
firmly pressed the witness to get her
to recall her arrest, her incarceration.
\ her arraignment on the following
morning, but she said she could not
The District Attorney struck from
an unexpected angle when he intro
duced a series of letters between the
cCefendant and her husbhband. His ob
ject was to show that there was doubt
in Mrs. DeSaulles’ mind as early as
1914 as to her husband’s loyalty and
faithfulness.
Asked if she was sincere in her
manifestations of love, Mrs. D:
Saulles replied:
“I think T was at the time. But 1
wags at bay and was forced to resort
to flattery in my effort to hold him.
I thought I had a perfect right to do
that.”
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 confldent tone.
Among the first to reach the court
house today was Henry TUterhart,
leading counsel for the defense. He
was jubilant and predicted a 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

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
of the effect her story was ha.vingl
on others.
He saw twelve jurors sitting with
bowed heads and five of them in
tears. 4He saw Justice Manning, sit.
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 brain is
dulled, and though she might have
been under the influence of powerful
drugs, the breathless audience was
willing t® agree the recital could not
have been more dramadtic.
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
pression. One who best knows these
facts 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 battle 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 phler than usual in a white
creep de chine blouse. She wore a
blue satin skirt.
District .Attorney Weeks lost no
time in attacking the defense plea—
lapse of memory and temporary irre
sronsibility.
“You stated yesterday you recalled
nothing from the time your husband
said you gould not see your boy un
til you regained consciousness at the
jaili 1s that right?” the attorney
asked,
“It is,” the witness replied, her
fairly ev»n tones suggesting she wus]
master of the situation.
“Have you suffered any lapse of
memory since that time?”
“I Fave not.”
“Then you remember all you testi
fied to yvesterday?”
“Yes, I think I do.” |
“Now, mnay I ask. when did you first
find out your husband did not care
for you?”
“When we went to Europe before
the war.”
“Were vou happygsat South Bethle
hem while with the De Saulles fam-'|
ily?”
The witness was not clear on thel
question and did not reply.

in his attack and proauced 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 & second letter,
the witness was asked I{ her husband
hac become somewhat neglectfll
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 faithfu'ness to her
husband, adding she “was playing in
the sunshine, drinking it all in, for
getful of everything, except the joys
of living.”
She admitted she was happy and
having a good time when she wrota
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.” &
“l will say I never wrote a let
ter,” she said, “permitting persons ta
get the idea I was not happy. 1 was
proud and wanted them all to believe
I was happy.”
Wien 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 he unhappy
and write such loving letters to her
husband, she said:
“1 resorted to flattery.”
Mrs. DeSauiles 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
rounaed by a bevy of Broadway beau
|ties. the District Attorney sought to
tshow why the Duke and DeSaulles
lshrmld 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
rornmont?" he asked.
“l 1 heard of a war contract, but did
| not know of the details,” was the re
ply. ‘
‘ “Don’'t you know that those two
| gentlemen cleaned up $50,000 on that
| contract?” ]
5 ML thew did. <1 did not -see -the
' money.” \
Referring to the time in the fall of
'1914 when. as the witness told, she'
was humiliated bv a hotel clerk in
L.ondon 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.”
i “Did you really think your husband
was working as hard as you immledl
- in vour letter to him?”
;' “Well, he told me he was working |
50 hard he had no time to look nfterl
- me.”
i 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 whe was on the Lusitania on the!
return from London, and it was Fowl
er with whom she dined after arriving
in New York.
t “T should like to ask,” said the at«l
tornev, “was your heart broken at that
time?” |
. “I was miserable.” |
| “Well, can vou dance with your feet
' when vour heart is Lroken?” e
| “I ean and have.”
| Then followed another series of let
ters by which the prosecution hnpedl
itn offset the claim of a broken heart
which led un to the shooting.
Going back to her testimony of yes
;'torda,v. when she said that when she
ihoard of the Lusitania going down
“she wished she was on it,” the at
torney asked if she recalled making
i the statement. ‘
. “I don’t know that T made the sta(e-]
lmr'nt. but I wished it.”
“Isn’t it a fact hat Mr. DeSaulles
Isaid that he wished he was on the
boat?"
She smiled as she replied: “I don’t
remember.”
“When you were on the steamship
Calamares going to Chile, did you feel
that you were glad to get away from
your married troubles?”
e
“Well, did you feel 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 rcplied:
i “I don’'t know what I intended do
nge ’
The prosecution then produced a
letter written by Blanca to her hus
band thanking him for flowers that ha
had sent her in Chile as as an evi
dence that his love for her had not
ceased,
“ls it true that since the birth ot
your child you were a wife to your
husband in name only?” Weeks de
manded,
“Thta is not true,” came the hot re
tort. “lI was a wife to him, but I told
Mrs. Hechsher, his sister, that I 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 denieel remembering a
conversation she had on the day fol
ilowing the shooting with the district
attorney. She recalled nothing o.
that day-—nothing until the day so:
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 lire 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
during the smiles, any suggestions of
apathy. In these instances she was
again the beautiful ("hilean girl.
With a smile that reflected
throughout the courtrocm, Mrs. De-
Saulles told the prosecuting attorney
that she was growing very tired.
“Do you mean that I become tire
some to you as I ask you these ques
tions?” asked the attorney.
“Yes,” she said, smilingly, “very
much so 0.”
The court then recesscd for the
noon hour.

business was the main topic of dis
cussion Tuesday morning at the sec
ond business session of the Southern
Furniture Warehousemen's Associa
tion.
While national conditions have
caused a large increase in the volume
of business, help is scarce and very
expensive. This is one of the princi
pal problems to be met by the ware
housemen.

where cantonments are located. In

Fellowing the failure of the Gov
ernment to comply with the urgent
appeals of Dr. L. G. Hardman, Fed
eral Fuel Administrator for Georgia,
for enough coal to prevent a fuel
famine in Atlanta, Ivan E. Allen,
president of the Atlanta Chamber 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 broughi
any relief.
Sénator Hoke Smith, who wired
Monday that the Government would
not take action until the request came
from local or State administration of
flcials, was notified Tuesday that
Henry Kennedy, Atianta 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, ’
Pespite 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 vear. Atlanta coal dealers re
ported Monday that they can not get
coal, and that there is no coal in the
city.
