The wife had heard whispers con-

Romance Fades Quickly.

To acquaintances Mr.. and Mrs. De
Saulles seemed ideally happy. But in
1916 Mrs. De Saulles startled New
York by bringing suit for divorce.
They had been married five years. The
court declared that De Saulle's mis-
conduct with n certain pretty chorus
girl, who tripped her way to fame in
the days OF the tango craze. was sur
ficient grounds for granting the
wifes plea.
Mrs. De Saulles makes charges
which stand out in sharp contrast
to the reputation for good fellowship
and all-around kindliness borne by
tho popular Jack" along Broadway
and among his friends In the political
and social worlds. 1t is her slory
which follows:
shortly after our arrival in this
country Jack began to treat mo

walls. lie almost Immediately sent

South Bethlehem, Pa. lie told me he
was terribly busy in New York and
that l would find It dull and lonely

Saulles was acting ~ the right-nand

for the nomination and, later. the
election OF Woodrow Wilson. Because

and his genial personality he was Sc
lected to organize the Wilson College
Mems league. which he did with great
success. During this time, Mrs. De
Saulles says. her husband occasion
ally visited her at his parents home
in Bethlehem and told her he was to
be appointed minister to Uruguay If
Mr.. Wilson were elected. He said
that much money was needed to as
sure him OF his appointment and
asked her TO help him.
This project was enhanced by the
loneliness of her life without her hus-
band, friends or near relatives, Mrs.
De Saulles says, In town among

she gave him large sums.
De Saulles received the appoint

accepted il, but to his wifes great dis

Two hundred indignant citizens o
Oglethorpe county are protesting
against procedure in the. courts OF
the criminal side, touching on mat
tiers which place the very life of oul
government at stake.
For the benefit of this section, VIZ
herewith print the dispatch concern
ing the Oglethorpe demonstration:
Dissatisfied with the finding of
the jury which recently acquitted
Thad Chain of the charge of wife
murder, 200 citizens of Lexington,
county seat of Oglethorpe county,
held an indignation meeting" at
the courthouse yesterday by way
of protest against the methods
which have. according to their al
legations, obtained in that county
in the prosecution of criminal
cases.
The meeting carried little ex-
element, but a wonderful ear
nestness that augurs for the pre-
dicted cleaning up of that coun-
ty" of some of the evils which
citizens say they have suffered
for many years.
The meeting was presided over
by former State Senator c. O.
Stephens. Many leading citizens
took part. Resolutions were
passed protesting against alleged
interference with and influencing
the jury in that case and in other
cases through the years past.
A committee of rs was named to
investigate the reports of attempts
to influence jurymen and report to
the jury revisors with a request
that a, revision of the entire list
be made of practically all new
men in the county, and that ell
persons who there is reason to
believe have had a hand, active
"ly or passively, in tampering with
justice, be left of the list.
The methods of alleged infiu-
encing the jury in the Chain case
we're particularly condemned and
the manner of handling that SEN
sational case in the court was Sc
vereiy criticized.
