TOURS, France, Dec. 23.-"An amaz-
ing court drama of Passion and Pa
thos," is how a local paper tonight
sums up the trial of Count" anG
Countess" d'Aulby de Gatigny, who
are charged with having swindled the
Duchess de Choiseul-Praslin, formerly
Mrs. Charles Hamilton Paine of Bos-
ton.
The epigram was based on today
sensational development at the trial
which so moved the auditors that the
customary scenes of disorder, laughter
and cheering changed to burst OF
weeping.
Reputable business and professional
men of Tours, on the stand, painted
D'Aulby and his wife as the incarna-
tion Of charity and honesty, declaring
that theif ministering to the wants Of
the sick and needy caused them n be
loved and esteemed throughout the
country. .
M. ot,spresident of the Tours asso-
citation Of lawyers, who drew up the
contract for the sale of the picture
"Antiope" to the late Mr.. Paine, testi-
fed that D'Aulby insisted on the inser-
tion of clause that he could not guar
antee the authenticity of the picture.
PUTS BLAME ON MRS. PAINE
NJ. Diot also said that neither D'Aul-
by nor his wife had any idea of busi-
ness or the value Of money, of which
they received $4,000 almost every year
from Boston. They were passionately
fond of music, and lived happy family
life until Mrs. Paine entered D'Aulby' 3
life, which until then had been ire
proaChable.
D'Aulby, the witness said, was the
victim of the wiles of others who were
now trying to ruin him. AS NJ. Diot
gave instances of D'Aulby'S alleged
charities, sobbing was heard in various
parts of the court room. The witness
said that it was always D'Aulby's in
tention to forward the wine rsWhich
Mrs. Paine had given him $500.
Every witness called by the prosecu-
tion today turned out to be a defender
of the defense, while the testimony of
NJ. Desmoulin, a member of the jury
in the Beaux Arts salon, Paris, plainly
produced an impression most favorable
to the accused. D'Aulby, who under
the French system is constantly ques-
toned on various points brought out by
the witnesses, shows signs of breaking
Diot and others lauded him today,
D'Aulby sat with his head bowed on
his knees, a handkerchief hiding his
features. It is announced that he has
spent eight months Of his prison life In
composing music and in writing his
memoirs.

HERALD FORETOLD
CHOICE Of MAYOR
Lieutenant's Promotion to Head
Of Department verifies An
nouncement of Dec. 13

An exclusive announcement in The
Herald Tuesday, December 13, that
Lieut.. I. L. s bastian had been select
ed as chief of police to succeed Alex
ander GallorTay, was verified yester-
day, when Mayor Alexander gave out
an official statement to that effect fol-
lowing q conference held with members
of the police commission Thursday
night. The change will become effec-
tive January 3.
Mayor Alexander had not been in his
Nuffce half an hour yesterday when
Chief Galloway entered and rendered
his resignation to take effect January
g. There was nothing startling i'll this
action, because it had been generally
understood that the chief would re-
sign. In fact, it had been believed that
his esignation- had been rendered to
the mayor at least a month ago and
that the mayor was keeping 1t until
the proper man was found.
Sebastian has been under consider
alton for more than a month and he
would probably have been announced
as the new chief before if somo of the
newspapers had not tried to force the
police commission to act" said Mayor
Alexander.
ST believe Sebastian is the right man
in the right place. L have known hlm
for fifteen years or more ana KNOW
he is a man of splendid character"
The new chief will be given tech
nfcal leave of absence for one year
as lieutenant in the police department,
so that he may retain his civil service
rating as lieutenant. He will be for
mally appointed chief of police at tho
meeting of the police commission to
be held Tuesday night, January 3. If
there should be a change OF admins
tration next year and the new mayor
has some one else he prefers as chief
Sebastian's leave of absence as lieuten-
ant can be Cancelled and he will be
returned to the position he now oc-
cupies. This same procedure was
followed when Capt. w. II. Auble was
appointed chief of police and when
Thomas Broadhead was appointed.
The police Jmmission wants to try
q department man as chief and see if
it will work better than with civilian
head of the department. The present
administration has had two civilians
for ,hief, e. +. Dishman and AleXan-
der Galloway.
Mayor Alexander said yesterday that
while Sebastian had been under con-
sideration by the police commission for
more than a month, two members of
the commission had been in favor of
another man, presumably Fire Com
missioner G. o. Hawley and the de-
Law I'm naming a new chief was partly
due to the desire of the commissioners
to have their choice unanimous.

Sebastian Made Police Chief;
to Check Crime, His Promise
PLAN TO BETTER
CITY MAPPED OUT
GaIIoWay'S Successor Rose from
Bottom of Ladder by His
Meritorious Work

Violators of law and others who for
various and sundry reasons exert their
influence to take the head of the po-
lice department into their camp-men
who are now taking the measure Of
Charles i. Sebastian-Win do well to
bear in mind that the new chief Of po-
lice of Los Angeles is from Missouri.
Along with this fact, they should re-
member that a Missourian holds it as
his inalienable right to be 'shoWn." ="
Lieutenant Sebastian, of University
station, is no exception to the rule.
And hailing from Champ Clark's inn
perial state, it is naturally a trait
highly developed in Sebastian to
"show'' the other fellow. He doesn't
expect the opposition to be laying its
hands down all the time.
This, in brief, is the case Of Los An
geles' new chief Of police. He plays
square game. but being from Missouri,
he's dangerous if he finds there's
cheating going on or that the rules
of the game are being violated. In the
present instance the rules" are tne
laws, and-+he game" is running a city.
Sebastian will take the office and
oath Of chief of police Of this city
January and he will go in to bring
about the highest state of efficiency
that can be attained in system com
posed Of human and not mechanical
integrals.
In brief, here will be his program:

By Associated Press.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. 1O-The steam
ship Jefferson arrived from Juneau to.
day with some of the survivors of the
wrecked Canadian Pacific liner Prin-
cess May, which went on the rocks
north of Sentinel Island early last
Friday morning. L. R. Leyrer, who
was on his way from Alaska to his
home in Minneapolis, said that al
though there was great excitement
among the passengers, none seemed
to think there was much danger, as
the shore was near.

boats were located and found two
members of the crew preparing to
launch a boat" said Mr.. Leyrer.
There were six boats altogether. The
first three left with all the women
and children. Two others weer used
for the men and the other carried a
miner who was suffering with a brok-
en- leg. We landed on the north end
of Sentinel Island. When we reached
the top of the cllff our troubles did
not end. We found ourselves in grass
almost shoulder high. C. E. Peterson,
the lighthouse keeper, had just gone
to bed when the vessel ran on the
reef, but he headd our distress whis-
ties and was fastening from the build
ing when we broke through the grass
and met him."
