A man who is accused OF staooing

thing was necessary. fumbled with MS

was intended as n courtly DOW.
Prisoner Thanks Hostess
"We're all mighty thankful TO you
for-for what you've done for u.s. ne
said.
Mrs. De Saulles rewarded this effort
at oratory with broad smile ana
depreceting wave of her hand.
"Im mighty glad | could have tins
little dinner with you to-day she SAID.
81 will be only too happy if you all en-
JOY it," r
The men about the table, recalling
that their Thanksgiving dinner would
have consisted OF beef stew and brown
bread but for her Intervention, showed
their approval by clapping their hands
and passing their plates for second ana
third helpiIgs.
Prominent at the table was Dominick
Damanco, convicted of killing a man
with whom he had quarrelled, who IS
awaiting sentence some time this week.
Near him was Thomas O'Brien, who
killed mis- wife with a rifle, and is await
ing trial. By a peculiar coincidence
O'Briens defence is not unlike that oil
Mrs. De Saulles. lie claims that he was
a victim of a mental lapse, but brought
on by alcohol, not worry. Ii he expert
enced a fellow feeling for The accused
woman who is in the midst Of her court
ordeal he said nothing about it.
Another guest at the dinner who was
given a prominent place because of his
position on the court calendar was
Frank Smagoski. who is accused OF
killing his wife after long wn-out
domestic quarrel. Smagoskis main de-
fence is that he became a husband
under duress. He was not in a COM
municative mood to-day, however, and
nobody pressed him for details.
As the banquet drew to a close, Aus
tin. the educated bartender, lived up TO
his name by producing piece of paper
and announcing that proprlety called
for some written expression OF graft
tude to Mrs. De Saules, who had re-
turned to her own quarters to spend
the remainder of the afternoon with
her son. -,
"All right. scratch it off and we'll
sign it," agreed several voices.
After brief conference, Austin pro-
duced this effort. to which was attached
the signatures of eight of the dinner
guests:
Mrs. Blanca De Saulles, Mineola.
Dear Madam: We desire to thank
you sincerely for your kindness and
thoughtfulness toward us to-day. 1t Is
impossible to put into words our kindly
thoughts toward you. However, 1t is
our earnest wish that next Thanksgly-
ing Day will be spent with your dear
family and your noble little boy"
lust as Austin was seeking a proper
bearer of the note to Mrs. De Saulles
the door opened and a round little figure
burst in, clad in knickerbockers, white
waist and, most important OF all,
deputy sheriff's star. Little Jack De
Saullcs, unconscious Of the tragedy
being enacted about him, was expe-
riencing the treat Of his life in the
possession of a genuine "pleceman'
star"
I'm a policeman and can arrest
any of YOU" he said.
The banquet guests, to whom the eX-
perience Of being arrested was not
quite such a joke as little Jack may
have imagined. laughed with him and
submitted to being taken IN custody by
the youthful visitor. When he had
completed his task of arrestng those
present ne was given the note and sent
TO his mother with 1t.
The Heckscher family car, contain
ing Jack as it's sole passenger, rolled
up to the jail door at ii O'Clock IN the
morning. Jack clambered out, ran TO
the door behind which his mother had
been straining her eyes for just this
picture for more than an hour, and
rushed into her arms.
"They said you had turkey" he said
"Where is it?'
So he was led TO the oven and given
glimpse Of the birds, cracking IN
their pans. The remainder OF his VS.
iting hour he spent fondllng ms
mother, asking her about returning 70
their new home" and the badges or
the guards, whose emblems OF author
ity appealed TO him more than any
thing he saw about the jail.
Trial Goes on This Morning
Tomorrow morning Mrs. De Saulles
will resume her ordeal as defendant at
her trial for the shooting of her di-
yorced husband, in Justice Manning's
court here. Her own active participa-
ton in the case concluded Tuesday,
however, when she was cross-ques-
toned by District Attorney Weeks.
Henry A. Uterhart and the other
lawyers for the defence spent practi-
caly all Of yesterday completing the
2O,000-word hypothetical question that
is to be put TO their medical experts
tomorrow morning. 1t was practi-
cally completed by the addition OF
facts adduced in the course of yes
terday's two sessions.
But District Attorney Weeks is not
10 be outdone by the production of a
mere 20,000-word hypothetical ques-
ton. He is planning to appropriate
all of the question asked by the de-
fence, add to it the salient features Of
the prosecutions contentions-which
he assumes will not be included in Mr..
Uterhart's question--and direct the
new query at his own three experts.
As a consequence, his question prob
ably will be between $4,000 and 10000
words in length.
None Of the lawyers would predict
the probable day the case would go
to the jury, but they agree that the
arguments will not be concluded until
