    MRS.DESAULLES
TO GO ON STAND
EARLY IN WEEK
Visitors to Courtroom Are
Carefully Scrutinized by
Special Officers
By Associated Press
Minoola, N. Y„ Nov. 2 3. —Through
Marshall Ward, dinner guest at the
De Saulles home the evening of Au-
Cit 3, last, when the former Yale
tball star was killed, the prosecu
tion to-day in the trial of Mrs.
Blanca De Saulles for the murder of
her former husband, offered the lirst
eye-witness evidence of the shoot
ing.
The submission of testimony on
behalf of the prosecution was ex
pected to be completed before the
close of the afternoon session, and
there was a possibility that Mrs. De
Saulles would begin her story of the
events on the night of the tragedy
before adjournment for the day.
?ienry A. Uterhart. of counsel for
the defense, has announced Mrs. De
Saulles will be the first witness in
her own behalf.
Indications to-day were the case
would not be given to the jury until
late next week. A mass of expert
testimony, which counsel for both
sides say will consume much time,
is yet to be heard. This will have
lo do with the defense's claim that
Mrs. De Saulles was mentally irre
sponsible at the time of the shoot
ing.
Two court officers to-day scrutin
ized persons seeking admission even
more closely than was the case yes
terday.
Since the opening of the trial. Jus
tice Manning has received threat
ening letters, ostensibly from cranks.
One of these advised the justice to
"prepare to meet thy God" in the
event of the Jury returning a ver
dict of guilty, it was stated.
Special officers met Justice Man
ning at the railroad station to-day
and escorted him to the courthouse.
Twice the number of persons the
courtroom could accommodate, prin
cipally wompn, had gathered by the
time the trial was resumed.
Mr. Uterhart said that he did not
wish to place the defendant on the
witness stand to-day on account of
his client's physical condition and
he did not wish to have Mrs. De
Saulles begin her testimony unless
she could tell her whole story with
out interruption. She will, there
fore. not take the witness stand un
til Monday when the trial will be
resumed at the conclusion of to
day's session.
By Associated PTSS
Mineola. N. Y.. Nov. 23.—When
Ward took the stand he told of i
dinner at the De Saulles home, "The
Box" near Westbur#, Long Island,
the evening of the tragedy.
As Mrs. De Saulles entered the liv
ingroom of the home a few minutes
before the shooting, Ward testified,
De Saulles arose from a couch and
extending his hand, greeted her with
the words: 'How are you, Blan
quita.' This was a nickname De
Saulles frequently used in addressing
his wife.
Other questions brought from
Ward admissions that Mrs. De Saul
les made inquiry immediately* after
entering the room for "little Jack,"
].*r son.
She said she had come to take
the boy with her, Ward testified. A
conversation ensued, the witness con
tinued. In which both parties con
tended thev were legally entitled to
custody of the boy during August.
rd said he heard De Saulle9 make
positive refusal to yield custody of
the youngster whereupon, he de
clared, Mrs. De Saulles said: "Then
there is only one thing to do."
"Then I saw the flash of the shots
fiotn Mrs. De Saulles' revolver," said
the witness.
"As soon as I could collect myself
1 rushed over to Mrs. De Saulles and
Krnsped her arm. She said: 'lt had
to be done.' "
Mrs. Caroline Degener, a sister
of De Saulles, who was at her broth
er's home when the shooting occur
red. testified that Mrs. De Saulles
said she wished to speak with her
husband, when she entered the
home.
This was in contradiction with the
testimony of other witnesses who de
clared the defendant's first inquiry
on entering the home was about her
son.
Major Arthur B. DeSaullcs, of
South Bethlehem, Pa., father of the
slain man, testified Mrs. De Saulles
said, "there, take that," as she fired
Ihe revolver shots. A controversy
over possession of the boy had im
mediately preceded this remark, he

SOLDIER VOTES
CHANGE RESULT
Elect Democrat Poor Director
in Cumberland County and
Cause Council Tie
Carlisle, Pa., Nov. 2 3.—ln court
this morning the soldier vote of Cum
berland county, cast at the different
camps where men from this district
are located in the United States serv
ice was counted. The only cliunge on
the county ticket was in the choice
of Director of the Poor. In the House
vote, Glenn D. Mains, Republican, of
West Pennsboro township, led in the
vote, but the soldier vote gives Bretz
a majority of 16 and elects him.
Mains has 4,571 votes and Bretz,
4,587.
In the Council contest in Carlisle
there is a tie between Dr. H. H. Mer
cer and Arthur Rosenan. In the
home vote Mercer led by three votes,
but the soldier vote gave Mercer
three and Rosenan six, making a tie.
Council now has seven Republi
cans and seven Democrats, and the
decision in this case will decide the
complexion of that body for the com
ing year. It has not been decided
how the tie will be settled, but it will
probably be by a drawing.
London Newspaper Makes
Attack Upon the Vatican
London, Nov. 23.—The Vatican is
accused in an editorial in the Morn
ins Post of being triplicated in the
propaganda which the newspaper
says was largely responsible for the
recent Italian reverses. Reviewing
what it described as Vatican ma
chinations the Post declares that its
political activities during the war
"can by no sophistry be regarded as
consistent with the principles of
neutrality."
"From the beginning," says the
Post, "the Vatican has leaned to
Austria's side and lately has fur
tively, but actively, epoused the
Austrian cause."
The newspaper calls on the Brit
ish government to look into the
matter and demands that the Vati
can declare definitely on which side
it stands.
