PATHETIC INCIDENT

There was a pathetic incident related from the witness stand later in the day which entrusted with this occurrence. It was during the questioning of Mrs. Ethel ONeil, a nurse who attended Mrs. De Saulles after the birth of her son, John L. De Saulles, Jr., at South Beth lehem, Pa., in 1912
 Mrs. O'Neil said Mrs. De Saulles had gone to the railroad station one Sun day afternoon to meet her husband, who telegraphed her that he was coming from New York to spend the weekend with her. When she returned home sometime later she was dejected over De Saulles failure to appear and went to her bedroow. The nurse testi- fled she found her kneeling at the bed- side hugging her child and saying: ""Toodles, daddy doesn't love us any more''
 Mrs De Saulles' examination com pleted, her attorney, Henry A. Uterhart, tonight declared that tomorrow would mark the beginning of the introduction of her expert testimony in support of his clients claim of mental derange- ment at the time of the shooting. This is to be adduced through alienist X-ray specialists and a physiological chem
 st." Thereafter in an effort to break down their testimony men of equal to be placed on the stand by the prose- cution.
 Justice Manning intimated later that night sessions might be inaugurated to- morrow.
 Indications are the trial will extend well into next week before going to the jury.

Toledo, O., November 27.-Five automo- bile bandits attacked the chief book keeper of the Heudner-Toledo Breweries company today, beat him into insensi- bility and took s37,O0o. The robbers es- caped in a stolen automobile.
 The bookkeeper, Anton Comes, has been with the company 40 years. It has been his custom to make daily trips to the bank with the preceding days re- ceipts.
 Two bandits slugged him with clubs, and two others battered his head with beer bottles until he fell unconscious. Then they wrested his satchel from him and fled

ID PLACE BOLSHEVIKISTS ON
 LISTS OF ENEMY
Reports That German Staff Officers Now in Russia Advising Lenine Fac
 tions Confirmed

Washington, November 27.-Official confirmation of the news from London that German staff officers are in Petro- grad acting as military advisers of the Lenine faction probably will be followed promptly by action on the part of the United States and the allies definitely to place the Bolshevili regime in the list of Germanys allies.
 If the Germans are there all doubt as to tEe purpose of the Bolsheviki IS removed, and the diplomats will be obliged to withdraw to neutral capi- tai, probably Stockholm, to await in structions from their governments. Such development undoubtedly would be fol- lowed by immediate cancellation of or ders now in process of execution for military and other supplies for Russia both in the United States and Japan. Several cargoes from the United States are now on the way to Vladivostock, but these can be diverted by wireless or ders, and it has been understood that their delivery would be contingent upon evidence that they would not fall into unfriendly hands
 With Germans openly advising Lenine and his followers, it is assumed that
 efforts will be made to carry Russia into the position of an active ally of the central powers. This might produce
 most serious situation by making avail able to Germany the vast stores of food, oil and cotton of Russia, and even though the Teutons found 1t impossible
 to convert the disorganized country into an active military ally, the 1,0Oo,0Oo or more German, Austrian and Turkish prisoners held in Russia would be freed l for service with the Teutonic armies. I Ever since the overturning of the ke- l rensky government military trategists | here have been anticipating such con- diton as exists today in Russia. This 1 is one of the principal problems with | which the inter-allied conferences in ] Paris is expected to deal. Without being 1, bound by any special instructions Col | onel House and his military adviser | General Bliss, will cooperate with the l representatives of the entente powers ! in framing some policy to meet the military situation
 l Strong hope is felt that an offensive | by Ienine to turn Russia over to Ger many will meet with powerful resist ance at home Any action decided upor
 by the allies will be directed at the Petrograd extremities and not at the | people of Russia
 | Reports that come from the Don Cos 1 sack country that the Hetman, Genera l Kaledines, may be the master of the
 situation through his control of the fooo | which is necessary to maintain any mili- tary force in the north of Russia, have
 encouraged military experts here to be-
 lieve that in spite of the aid of his German advisers. Lenine and his fac ton may be brought to terms
