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, Auguvst 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
night even her maid was with her.
She recalled telling her chauffeur
to wait while she went itno the house
after little Jack.
; Memory Fled.
“The first person I saw was my hoy
with Mrs. Degener” (her sister-in
law), she said. “I spoke to her and
went on into the house.. Then I saw
DeSaulles and spoke to him about
my boy. I don't remember anything
else,”
District Attorney 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 Attorneyv 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 as to her husband’s loyalty and
faithfulness.
Agked If 'she was sincere in her
manifestations of love, Mrs. Dk«
Saulles replied:
“I think I was at the time. But 1
was 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.
Bhe considered all questions well be
fore replying and then answered in
a low but confident tone.
Among the first to reach the eourt
house today was Henry Uterhart,
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

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. s
Though, as claimed, her brain 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
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, wiil 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 paler 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 could not see your boy un
til you regained consciousness at the
jail. Is that right?” the attorney
asked,
“It is,” the witness replied, her
fairly even tones suggesting she was
master of the situation.
“Have you suffered any lapse of
memory since that time?”
“T Fave not.”
“Then you remember all you testi
fied to yesterday?”
“Yes, 1 think 1 Isle.”
“Now, may I ask, when did you first
find out your husband did not care
for you?” '
“When we went to Europe before
the war.”
“Were you happy at South Bethle

question and did not reply.

| in his attack and produced a letter
iwrltten 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 vou 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 husband
]ha(’. 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 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.”
“I will say I never wrote a let
ter,” she said, “permitting persons to
get the idea I was not happy. 1 was
prou'd 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
husband, she sald:
“I resorted to flattery.”
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 BEmadway beau
ties, the District Attornev sought to
show why the Duke and DeSaulles
should be so “chummy.”
“Don’t you know, Mrs. DeSaulles,
that your hushand 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 contract, 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
i contract?”
§{ “If they did, I 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-
Irival of the defendant in America to
i the husband. who was then .n France.
lThe 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 rweally think your husband
was working as hard as you implied
in your letter to him?”
| “Well, he told me he was working
+ 80 hard he had no time to look after
me.”
l Soldier’'s Name Injected.
f 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
ler who was on the Lusitania on the
j 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
torney, “was your heart broken at that
time?”
“l was miserable.”
“Well, can you dance with your feet
when your heart is broken?”
“T 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 ves-
Iterda_v. when she said that when she
heard of the Lusitania going down
|"9he wished she was on it,” the at
torney asked if she recalled making
‘ the statement.
“] don’t know that I made the state
l ment. but I 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
('alamares going to Chile, did yvou feel
that you were glad to get away from
your married troubles?”
“Yes.”
“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:
“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 hq
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 of
vour 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
vesterday.
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
iowing the shooting with the district
attorney. She recalled nothing ou
that day-—nothing until the day foe
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 withk
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.”
Ocecasiondlly she smiled. The thin
lips widened into a straight line and
her big dark eyves dispelled, at least
during 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 you as 1 ask you these ques
tions?” asked the attorney.
“Yes,” she said, smilingly, ‘“very
much so 0.”
The court then recessed for the
noon hour.

Following 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,
presldent 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 ot
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 Tuvesday 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

that its canne
No need to spend an hour or more cracking and
grating whole coconuts. No more bruised fingers
and mussy kitchens. Here is fresh coconut —
luscious, tender meat, sterilized with sweet, rich
coconut milk in cans ready for instant use.
Canned coconut keeps fresh indefinitcly. You can always
have it on hand. Use it to make coconut loaf (a substitute
for meat), coconut biscuits and other everyday dishes in
addition to serving it with sliced oranges and for desserts.
Use the milk just as you would cow’s milk. It is pure,
rich in food value and adds a zestful flavor.
Try these delicious coconut cakes,
