NEW YORK. Dec. 4.-Reaction from

Ign, L. I. Her boy, who was voIun-
tarily returned to her on Sunday by
his fathers, relatives, played about
the house and showed OF his new dog

DR.. J. Sherman Wight, whose testi-
mony was said by one Of the Jurors

factors causing q verdict Of unQualI-

As soon as the mother Is able to
travel she will probably return to
Chile with her son William. The
daughter. Amaiia. may stay with Mrs.
De Saulles at Roslyn this winter and
accompany Mrs. De Saulles and the

COnEratuIations by Wire.
A great many letters and telegrams
congratulating her on the outcome of
the trial have been received by Mrs.
De Saulles. She has not made any
OF them public.
John L. De SaulIes left no legal
will; an unsigned document was
found among his papers. His entire
estate therefore, goes to the boy. APP

delayed pending the end of the muir

Explained BY Juror.
The juror who talked yesterday but
would not let his name be used, said
in speaking OF Dr. Wight:
His demeanor on the stand. his
lucid telling OF what there was to tell
and his positlveness had great weight
with Us. He did not smother facts
with long words and medical terms.
but told US just what he found and
what they meant Under cross-ex-
animation he remained mistaken.
The story OF the defendant herself
stood out throughout the trial It was
proved to US beyond a doubt that she
had right to her child on the night
OF the shooting. The letters OF Mrs
de Saulles, in which she blamed her
self for much of the trouble OF her
married life, we thought was effec-
lively turned against the district at
torney by Mr.. Cterhart when the lat
ter said: She is always taking the
full blame for everything on her own
shoulders.
"A witness who helped US to make
up our minds was Julius Hademak,
the de Ssulles valet, who told OF In
forming Mrs. de SRulIes over the tele
phone, at the bidding OF mis- master.
that he was not at home just before
she started for the Box. His tcsti-
mony was OF more value to the de-
Tense than to the State, which called
him"
This juror said that while 1; prob
ably had no bearing on the verdict.
the jury was not "favoTably impress
ed" with the conduct Of some OF lie
SaulIes' relatives The juror remark
ed that one of these relatives kept
smiling In a sardonIc way" whenever
the district attorney scored against
the defense.
