asked Attorney Weeks.
THAT is a lie" was the prompt re-
/ tort.
The lawyer then began the question
/ ing Of the witness about the letters he
/ held in his hand. II was in the course
/ Of this series of questions that Mrs.
De Saulles revealed her unexpected
ability TO take her own part
She was asked about one letter from
| London, in which she said that she had
danced until she had no feet to stand
on" at certain New Years party.
Does Not Dance With Her Heart
"And still you say that your heart
was breaking because, YOU had been
Inundated by your husbands treat
ment there ?"
Eyes; but we don't dance with our
hearts" answered Mrs. Dc Saulles with
a smile.
The prosecutor promptly abandoned
that subject and asked about a letter
in which Mrs. De Saulles had told her
husband that he was the possessor OF
all the virtues that could be desired in
husband.
"Did you really feel that way about
I him." asked the lawyer.
/ 81 know that the surest way to hold
man is to fatter him to DEATH" she
answered
When told that this remark was
| hardly responsive to the question, Mrs.
/ De Saulles said that she had used fat
/ terry on De Saulles on the theory that
/ that was the surest way Of holding him.
The next question had to do with a
/ remark in a letter TO De Saulles, in
which his wife had said: Our baby is
a beautiful. fat, lazy thing, who loves
+ 70 be pelted and loved. | wonder who
he takes AFTER"
"Whom did you mean that he took
after" asked Week.

Mrs. De SaUlles.

Didn't you mean that he took after his
father? Didn't his father like to be
petted and loved?"
81 didn't mean any particular per-
! son." persisted Mrs. De Saulles.
Although the lawyer repeated the
question in various forms, that was as
definite "a reply as was Forthcoming
from the equally persistent witness.
District Attorney Weeks then sud
denly reverted to the day OF the killing
Of De Saulles, asking the witness to
repeat the story of her movements nre-
ceding her visit to The Box, where she
shot FIVE bullets into her husbands
body, several taking effect in his back.

volver on your husband?" continued
the lawyer.

Mrs. De Saulles.

the District Attorney.
