and discovered the skull fracture and
the "hypothyreosis" which are held by
the defence TO have been responsible
for the alleged mental lapse OF Mrs. De
Saulles at the time of the shooting.
DR.. Jeliffe, who figured in the trials
of DR.. Arthur Warren Waite and Hans
Schmidt, will explain TO the jury how
Mrs. De Sau!les's Affections might have
reacted az the moment when she turned
loose on her husband the revolver
which he had given her for se!f-pro-

District Attorney Weeks makes the
promise that for every expert put on
the stand by the defence he will have,
on rebuttal, one Of equal or greater
prominence. Throughout the trial, 1t

b. Mrs. Arthur Brice De Saulles,
mother of the victim.
Only two verdicts are foreseen by the
defence-"Not guilty" and "Not guilty
because insane"
A plain, unqualified scquittal will
leave Mrs. De Saulles the sole legal
custodian Of little Jack, and If Jack
De Saulles's relatives refuse TO give
i'm up she will attempt to get posses
sion OF him by writ.
Should the jury free her Of the first
degree murder charge, but hold her
insane, Mr.. Uterhart says jury trial
will be asked 20 determine her respon-
sibility, so that custody Of the boy
nay be hers. At any rate, there will
be an operation to relieve the skull
pressure discovered by DR.. johnson
and DR.. Wight.
Mrs. De Saulles, inwardly optimistic
despite her appearance OF apathy, looks
forward not only TO an acquittal but
to the recovery of little Jack, whom she
intends TO take back to her childhood
home IN "The Vineyard by the Sea" IN
Chile.
