The verdict of acquittal of the
charge of murder against Mrs. De
Saulles was anticipated by those who
had seen the picture of the lady.
Juries seem to take great delight in
acquitting pretty women. There was
no controversy over the facts in this
case that DeSaulles was dead and
that he met his finish at the hands
of his wife. The jury was of the
opinion that he deserved his fate and
acquittal was the only manner in
which they could express their judy
ment. Not a chilly verdict for lady
from Chile, South America.
