MI\EOIA, l.. l., Nov. IU.--II was d
little thing to Blanca De Saulles that
the four jurors picked to-day to SIT IN
judgment upon her were as much OF
her lawyers own choosing as were the
first four. The combination Of clever
iockeying and good luck through when

men. of whom not one was under the
age Of ffty-eight kindly, committing

What did matter was an off-stage VIC
tory achieved in Justice Manning's
chambers. News Of it brought a touch
Of color to her pallid checks, faint,
recurrent smile to her taut lips. Little
Jack was no longer TO be kept away
from her. Tomorrow, it has been
agreed by the relatives Of big Jack DE
Saulles. the divorced husband whom she
killed. the boy will be brought to her,
Since the shooting Of the father the
"youngster in the case" has had only a
few brief visits with his mother. His
oomings and goings were uncertain, de-
nendent on the whim of the uncles and
aunts on his fathers side who have him
in their keeping.
To See Son Twice a Week
All that is changed now. Tomorrow
mornings reunion between mother ana
son is only the first Of a series. Al
least twice a week throughout the
trial the two will have a chance to be
together. Probably their days will be
Wednesdays and Saturdays, but that
has yet to be arranged.

the opposing counsel was reached at
the opening of the afternoon session.
Immediately court reconvened after
the luncheon hour Henry A. Uterhart'

hearing in chambers "on a matter not

Justice Manning, anxious TO avoid
fight within a fight, made the new ar
rangement after Mr.. Murphy had IN
formed him that G.. Maurice Heckscher,
with whom Jack has been living, was
moving from Westbury TO New YORK
and that the boy had been lett az
