OF Neglect That Led to Killing

Whereupon, the lawyer asserts, the

returned from South America, and. Mr..
Uterhart says, charged her husband
point blank with inidelity. His re-
plies were evasive, the lawyer states.
Sought to Win Wife Back
The rainbow of romance was fading
fast. Mrs. De Saulle5 took up her
home apart from her husband, at IA
East Sixtieth Street. De Saulles moved
into a suite in Fifty-seventh Street,
just three squares away, and then be.
gan a second courtship Jack De
Saulles set out to win back the affec-
tions Of his estranged wife.
At pleading for women's favors De
Saulles always was at his best, Mr..
Uterhart asserts, but on this occasion
he was only partly successful. Two
or three times Mrs. De Saulles went
to stay at the Fifty-seventh Street
place, but never for long.
baby was born. No father could have
been prouder than John De Saulles.
and so the little fellow was named
John Longer, jr Three years slipped
by, and the young mother was happy
in the possession of her child. They
were inseparable. But the father Law
the baby, too. On Easter Sunday, 1916,
it appears, he took the little fellow out
for an auto ride.
Baby Tells Mother Of Joe
Jack, jr., could talk by this time,
and when he came home this is what
Mr.. Uterhart said he told his mamma:
Mamma, a lady got in the car to-
day. She was pretty lady. Her
name was Joe. That's what daddy
called her-Joe."
After that memorable Easter more
strange tales reached the mothers ears.
Sometimes it was little Jack who bore
them in his childish innocence; some
times il was others, who acted in full
realization of the import Of their do
iLgs.
But it seems, despite all this that
Mr.. Unterhart tells about. there was
reconciliation just before the final
break which precipitated the divorce
granted last winter.
AS divorce closed the door on old
woes it opened it to new ones in the
life of Blanca De Saulles. She had in
stituted suit in the firm belief that
she, the innocent party, surely would
be given her child. 1t was all she
asked or hoped to receive out Of the
ruin of her romance. But the court
decreed that the father had an equal
claim to little Jack, and that the boy
must divide his time impartially be-
tween his parents.
Then came a subsequent decision,
giving the father control over the
boys education after he reached the
age of eight. Mother could see him
only during vacation months in the
summer. Added to courts dictations
were personal agreements between the
parents, until poor little Jacks Gus
tody became so tangled a matter that
it would have taxed a lawyer to find
out just where he belonged at any par
ticular time.
Longed for Home in Chile
The mother came to look upon Amer
lea as a place which not only had
robbed her of happiness, but in the end
denied her justice. She longed for
her native Chile and the great estates
of her family, which have been kept
intact, despite the fuctuating fortunes
Of her house. Last spring she Manned
a visit TO her mother and sought to
take the baby with her. A court de-
MED her plea. Resigned 10 exile, she
leased Crosswavs the elegant country
home Of Walter Watson at Roslyn, and
planned to spend the summer With her
son amid all the beauty she could al
ford.
She did this, states Mr. Uterhart, TO
combat the influence of the millions at
De Saulles's command, which, he
