HER MILLIONS VANISHED
Mrs. De, saulles Had But $4,000
When She Wed Man She Killed.


Mineola, IN - y, + Ang. e:-Mrs.
Blanca Errasuriz De Sanlles, who :. is
in the County jail, here charged with
first degree e ) murder for shooting her
former husband, John Longer De
saulles. was not heiress to millions
at The time OF her marriage, as was
generally believed, but possessed a
fortune Of only $4,000, according
to e statement made last night by
Henry A. Utterhert, her attorney.
The lawyer declared that the mar
ital difficulties of Mr.. and Mrs. De
saulles, which led to divorce ae-
cree for her, began soon after she
learned that the vast Chilean Tor
time she had expected to inherit had
been squandered by relatives ana
+ba+ her wealth. was only a fraction
of what it had been reputed.
In his statement Utterhart alleged
that De Saules had obtained S4I'0OU
from his wife after their marriage,
sat 900 in cash and $4,000 in bonds,
which he spent. He declared his client
had been told by friends that DE
saulles borrowed the money with
which he went abroad to marry her
in Paris. Mrs. De Saulles now IS
worth only $4,000, the lawyer said
utterhart detailed many incidents
which he claimed had caused Mrs
No saulles to break down in heath
and spirits.
Reverting to the night Of the shoot
ing. the attorney declared that when
Mrs. De Sau.,es started in quest OF
her 4-year-old son, who had gone TO
visit his father, she did not expect TO
find her former husband at home. II
evidently was her plan, Utterhart
said. to carry off the boy before De
Saulles returned from his club, where
he was supposed to be dining. she
had been told by the De Saulles
butler over the telephone, the lawyer
declared, that Mr. De Saulles was not
at home. She then started for the
De Saulles cottage, hoping to reach
there before ne returned.
Utterhart asserted that Mrs. De
Saulles took revolver with her fol
protection on her motor ride over
lonely roads in the dark and that she
had no intention Of shooting De
Saulles until he refused to returns hel
son to her. r..

In ten minutes he was there with his faith

faithful unionists made known their objec-

Without further ado the new first violin took
his seat. The dance was on. II stayed on,

Story of the ROOm-Mafe Who
Had Studied Law

The other young man also rose high IN his
profession. He became District Attorney OF
New York. and District Attorney who made
his office far more than mere title or the eX-
cuse for collecting generous salary. In fact,
so we'll did he conduct that Office that the peo-
ple of the entire state knew of it, and in due
course Of time elected and reelected him to the
highest office within their choice.
The other day the Governor of New York
sought man to fill the post of superintendent
of the newly created state constabulary. 1t
is an important post, perhaps the most I'M
portant post that Governor Whitman will be
called upon TO fill during the entire course of
his administration In speaking of the sue
cess of the Pennsylvania State Constabulary
due in no small measure to the really distin-
cuished personality of its superintendent, Ma
Tor John C. Groome, The Tribune Magazine
a fortnight ago said:
what Pennsylvania has done New York
State can do-if leader able as Major
Groome can be found and if politicians and
mysterious 'higher-ups' can be made to keep
their hands off"
There was the case in a nutshell. No one
knows more clearly than Governor Whitman
himself the necessity for having no political
interference whatsoever in the new constabu-
lary-in the selection or retention of its men,
in the location Of its barracks, in any one of
the many problems that arise in its establish
ment and maintenance. The Governor can be
trusted to keep Shiny political hands off the
institution. He will not permit It's very life
10 be endangered. And no one knew more
clearly than Whitman the necessity Of estab
fishing and maintaining a high personnel for
the constabulary. He realized, too, that the
success of such an institution from the very
first would be tremendously dependent upon
the personality and strength Of the man who
heads it, And so knowing he turned to his
boarding house friend of two decades before

asked him to accept the post

Kingston is one of those large towns that
