EXPERTS SUPPORT
DE SAULLES STORY
Physicians Say Prisoner Easily
Could Have Suffered Tenn
porary Memory Lapse.

M1NEOLA, n. Y, Nov 30.--An-
other mass of expert Testimony was
added today to the volume of evidence
already introduced in support of Mrs.
Blanca dc Saulles' claim that she did
not know what she was doing when
she shot her divorced husband. John
L. de Saulles, at his Long Island home
the night of August 3.
The defense rested early in the aft
ernoon.
Because District Attorney Charles
r. Weeks did not like the phrasing OF
a 15,000-word hypothetical question
put to alienists by attorneys for the
defense, he is tonight preparing sim
liar interrogation Of equal or greater
length which experts on diseases OF
the mind called by the prosecution
will be 1sked to answer tomorrow
Weeks insisted the question submitted
by the defense was basNi entirely OIL
testimony favorable to Mrs. De Saulles
ignoring statements made by witnesses
ON which he is depending in large
part tot convict The young Chilean
woman. There was considera BILE argu-
mcnt as TO whether the interrogation
might be changed so as to satisfy
counsel for both sides, but this was
finally declared impractical.
New Query Coming.
Justice David +. Manning ended the
controversy by instructlng the district
attorney TO frame another query in
cluding the testimony he deems most
favorable to his side of the case.
1t required an hour and n half TO
read the question prepared by Mrs
de Saulles' attorney. Discussion of It's
points occupied an additional two
hours With similar procedure prom
ised for tomorrow, II seemed probable
tonight that the submission of evil
dence in rebuttal would not be fin
ished before tomorrow night
When attorneys for the defense
| rested their case District Attorney
Weeks Immediately began an attack
on the validity of their claim that
Mrs. de Saulles suffered a ten-day
"hlank space" or lapse of memory
which began a few moments prior to
| the time she fired the revolver shots
and ending when she awoke as a pris-
| oner in the Nassau county jail on Au-
gust 13.
