MINEOLA. y. Y, Nov 3O.-The
defense rested its case here this
afternoon in the trial of Mrs Blanca
DeSaulles charged with the murder
of her husband. John Longer De
Saulles. Presentation of evidence
for the defendant, came close with
the testimony of DR.. j. 5. Wight,
who has attended Mrs. DeSaulles
since the tragedy.
Keen disappointment among the
spectators followed the announce
ment that Sonora Vergara Errazuriz,
mother of the defendant was too
i'll to testify.
During the reading of the hypo-
thetical question DR.. Wight occu-
pied the witness stand. At one time
during the reading he was asked if
he believed the defendant was men
tally sound on the day of the
tragedy
she was not" was the answer.
DR.. Smith Ely Jeliffe, who testified
earlier in the day for the defense
offered similar testimony.
The prosecution contended that il
was improper TO put the hypOthet-
ical question TO DR. Wight, basing
their contention on the allegation
that he IS a surgeon rather than a
specialist or aIenist. The court
however, overrUled the objection
and DR.. Wight answered that Mrs
DeSaulles was not in her right mind
when she killed her husband

CHRISTOPHER, Ill. Nov SO
Rescuers early today were working
frantically in their efforts TO reach
Is men imprisoned in the 60O-foot
level of the Old Ben Coal corpora
tons new north mine by a gas ex-
plosion. Before dawn the rescue
squads had reached the 500-foot
level and were confident they would
come to the entombed miners be-
fore many hours.
Among the men entombed in the
mine is Frank Beamer, chief cleo
trician.
The rescue parties reached the
50O-foot level early today but found
the mine passages blocked with
wreckage At 8 O'Clock. this morn
ing they had failed to reach the
entOmbed men. None Of the mine
officials on the ground believe any
of the IS men are alive.
Explosion is Mystery.
Supt L. B. Putnam said today
that the men were not using powder
so far as he knew and that he did
not believe there was more than
the usual amount Of gas in the
mine He was entirely at a loss to
assign cause for the explosion.
The state mine rescue car, located
at Benton, arrived early today,
bringing a staff of physicians and
nurses. A score Of physicians and
surgeons from nearby towns rushed
here in automobiles and are on
hard TO give all possible medical
aid to the miners.
The explosion wrecked both the
main shaft and the air shaft of the
mine. The heavy cage hurtled
through the top-shaft house and
wreckage was scattered for a thou
sand yards from the mouth Of the
pit by the force of the explosion.
The cause of the explosion is as yet
unexplained.
Holiday Saved Many.
But for the fact that the explo-
sion occurred on a holiday hundreds
Of men might have been trapped.
Seven hundred men ordinarily are
employed i'm the mine but at the
time of the explosion most of the
men were az home and only a small
force of repairmen was at work.
Fire followed the explosion but
adviees early today said the flames
were under control.
Rescuers found their work ham
pered by gas fumes which came
from the entrance TO the mine shaft
and many of the workers were over
come by gas and had to be attend
ed by physicians The rescuers
were compelled to work in shifts as
result.
The scenes at the mouth of the
mine were heartrending. When the
news of the disaster spread through
the little village wives and mothers
of the entOmbed men rushed fran
tically to the mine. many of them
carrying their babies in their arms.
