MILWAUKEE POLICE
 MAKE NO HEADWAY IN BOMB TRAGEDY

striction of the bomb. It is their be- lief that the dripping of a fluid through a glass tube connected with the bomb effected time control as perfect as that of the mechanism of a clock.
 The trial of Il men who were said to be connected with the Bay View riot is set for Wednesday. Rev. Guiliano has stated his determination to appear as a prosecuting witness. The pastor is now out or the city.
 Miss Maud Richter, social settlement worker in the Italian district, today gave the following version of how MazuinEi came into possession of the bomb:
 '.The woman who cleans the church, when she finished her work Saturday morning. saw something strange near side wall of the building. She sent her little girl, to tell me about it. l went and saw the thing and unwrapped the paper about it. When I saw the wire I feared it was a bomb and telephoned the police station.
 s'I asked for the captain and talked to a man who said he was the captain of detectives. I told him what I knew and he said he would send for the thing at the church.
 "At o'clock it was still there and I arranged to have it taken to the po- lice station Mir. Mazuinni volunteered to do the errand. There should be nc thought that he wilfully brought the bomb there for it's terrible work of de. struction. His mission was just the op- posite.'

Henryetta, Okla.

Circumstantial Evidence Re- lied on to Connect Accused
 With Death of Mrs. King
HOPE TO WIN FORTUNE IS ALLEGED MOTIVE
Witnesses From Many Parts of the Country Are Gathering in Con- cord, N. C., on Eve of
 Legal Battle

Concord, N. H., November 25.-De- fcnse and prOsecutiOn are ready, both said tonight, to start the trial here of Gaston E. Means. charged with she murder of Mrs. Maudc A. King, who was shot to death near here last Au- gust.
 The prosecution, as far as has been outlined, relies on mass of circum- stantial evidence to fasten upon Means the charge of murder, and will seek to show that a fortune of $2,O00O00, which Mrs. King might have inherited through a second will of her husband, the late James King of Chicago, provided the motive.
 Means. a native of Concord, had been the woman's business agent for some time before she met death while here on visit to his relatives, and, according to statements made by District Attorney Swann's office in New York evidence has been brought to light to show that 8 second will was to have been offered for probate. Mrs. King had inherited more than s1,00o,000 through the first will.
 Little chance was seen tonight of se- lecting a jury before Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest, and attorneys generally held that the 36 jurymen au- tomatically called with the issuance of the order for a special term of Ca- barrus county court to try the case, would be exhausted before r acceptable men were found. In that case, court would probably adjourn while a special venire of 150 men were summoned their names being drawn from the jury list, according to North Carolina law, by a child unable to read.

DIR. EDMONDS URGES
 MEN "OVER THE TOP"
 IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Financial Statement of Independent Presbyterian Read Yesterday
 Pleasing to Congregation

Over the Top was the subject of Dr. Edmonds' sermon at the temple yes terday. Tn part he said: "The war has caused phrases like come on,' and over the top to become popular expressions. With us, and like the slang of today that becomes the language of tomorrow, these phrases will live.
 ''The first principle of life is based upon coming over the top, leaving the shelter and comparative shelter of your trench, whatever it is, and taking the first step tremulous and slow. but step; then climbing higher. quicker sighting the enemy, which is your goal, you plunge into action and to victory: you carry on
 Until men, cut loose. get over the top in any of the varied experiences of life, they are entrenched, they know not their own ability, strength or weak ness. In our experiences in this war, some Of us are having super-ex2eri- ences because we have come out and are giving ourselves and our substance. in full measure. We have dared to come out of the trench and over the top to new venture, new life and action.'
 At the close of the sermon, Sidney J. Bowie made report of the financial status of the church, which statement WdS Iedld q Wllu d SleeLt uGsil Ol SdtlSldC- ton by the membership and new pledges of support were made by many.
 The financial end of the organization was shown to be in excellent shape and the various charities supported by the church will continue to carry on.
 At the Lyric pr. Edmonds spoke of "Jehovah's Portion.'
 "The sea with it's grandeur, it's vast ness and beauty, are Gods, as are the lofty mountains, reaching into the star studded skies. The cattle upon thou sand hills are His. and yet only to man does He reveal himself. and only through man can He cypress himself.
 'The glory of God is in man, not in things, wonderful though His handiworlS is.
 "That men and women live in such fashion that God can be rightfully im- pressed and interpreted through them," was his plea in closing.
 Owen Gillespy's sympathetic voice thrilled the audience, as he sang Face to Face at the close of the sermon.
 The music is always a pleasing fea- ture at the Lyric services. which con- tinue to draw large crowds regularly

BEAUTIFUL CHILEAN
 WILL RELATE HER
 TRAGIC ROMANCE
Mrs. De Saulles, Accused of Murder, Will Be Allowed to Tell the Entire
 Story of Life

Mineola, N. Y., November 25.-Re- freshed by two days recess. Mrs. Blanca De Saulles was prepared to- night to take the witness stand to- morrow for what promises to be an aIl-day examination in her trial for the murder of her former husband, John l.. De SnuIIes.
 Beginning with her birth 22 years ago at Vina Del Mar, 'The Vineyard by the Sea-" her fathers estate near Santiago, Chile. Mrs. De Saulles will tell the story of her life. Her meet ing with De Saulles at race meeting near Santiago in 1912, his brief court ship. their marriage in Paris and their subsequent return to the United states, where it is claimed he as- suned an attitude of indifferent neg lect" toward his young wife. will form the first chapter.
 HER LOSING FIGHT
 Mrs De Saulles, her attorneys say, will then tell of the fight she made to win back her husbands affection, of repeated instances of his alleged infidelity which came to her attention and which she was at first reluctant to believe, of the subterfuges to which she claims he resorted to get posses sion of her property and Of the pro- ceedings which led to the granting of divorce decree to her in 1916. This will be the second part of the story.
 VERSION OF TRAGEDY
 Next will be told the defendants version of the tragedy the night of August at De Saulles home, "The Box" near Westbury, L. I. The main points in this, the most drama tic chapter, were indicated in the opening statement of the defendants case by her chief of counsel, Henry A. Ut- erhart, in court last week. A lonely automobi trip across five miles of desolate countryside in the hope that she would be able to regain custody of her son, the sudden Arrangement which overcame her when De Saulles was indifferent to her pleadings and during which she fired the revolver shots-these points will make up the closing part of the woman's testimony. her attorneys say.
 With a mass of expert testimony to be submitted through alienists, X-ray specialists and physiological chemists" in support of the claim that Mrs. De Saulles was suffering from hypothyreosis, a disease affecting the brain when the shooting occurred, 1t is believed it will be the end of the week before the case is placed in the hands of the jury.
 Physicians attending Mrs. De Saulles expressed some doubt today as to whether she could withstand the ner vous strain incidental to her exam inaton on the witness stand and they expressed the fear she might collapse.
