MINEOLAA, l.. l., NOV. <osOoS Nho
introduction of many letters and ca
bleKrams yesterday during his cross
examination of Mrs Blanca De
saulles, District Attorney Weeks
sought to show that at the time she
now says she was complaining Of her
husbands acts, she was still CORE
spending with him. The prosecutor
brought out before the jury that
these communications breathed love
and affection.
A letter written May 20, 1915 by
De Saulles to his wife, created a SEN
sation. 1t is known as the rude
letter because in 1t De Saulles tells
his young wife that she has not neeh
a good wife for the previous four
years.
"And lately you have been very
rude ana insulting" declared De
SauIles, "you certainly have not
played the game for me. keep
thinking that perhaps you may do
SO for our boys sake. Certain 1t Is
that when you move into the new
house you must turn over a new leaf.
1t is up to you"

Then the prosecutor sought to find

from the momect she was denied lit
