Nassau County Hospital or a private
sanitarium. Mr.. Uterhart also said he
might go before the supreme court in
Brooklyn in an effort to have Mrs De
Saulles admitted to bail, on the ground
her life was being endangered by being
held in the county prison here.
Although he would not state specifi-
cally just what her ailment was, Mr.
Uterhart said the events of the last few
days had accentuated her illness and
brought on a collapse.
The mother of Mrs. De Saulles cabled
from Valparaiso. Chile. that she will
leave there Wednesday for New York,
with another daughter. Miss Amalie
Erazuriz- Vergara, and her son William.
The message also said the mother
would give every aid possible to her
daughter, indicating that the wealth
and influence OF the family would be
used. not only to defend the daughter
but to obtain the permanent custody of
the four-and "a half -year-old son for
