 MR. AND MRS. DE SAULLES
After She Discovered She Was Not
 Heiress to Millions

l. Mineola. N. Y., Aug. 5.-Mrs. Blanca Errazuris De Saulles. who is in the county Jail here, charged with first degree murder for shooting her for mer husband John Longer De Saulles, was not heiress to millions at the time Of her marriage, as she was generally believed to be, but possessed a fortune Of only S15OOOO according to a state ment made tonight by Henry A. Uter- hart her attorney
 The lawyer declared that the marital differences of MT. and Mrs. De Saulles which led to a divorce decree for her began soon after she learned that the vast Chilean fortune which she had expected to inherit had been suuander- ed by relatives and that her wealth was only fragment of what it had been reputed.
 In his statement Uterhart alleged that De Saulles got S47,0O0 from his wife after their marriage, S37,000 in cash and S1O,000 in bonds, which he spent He declared his client had been told by friends that De Saulles bor- rowed the money with which he went abroad to marry her in Paris. Mrs. De Saulles now is worth only $63,000, the lawyer said.
 Uterhart detailed many incidents which he claimed had caused Mrs De Saulles to break down in health and spirits.
 Reverting to the night of the shoot ing, the attorney declared that when Mrs De Saulles started in the quest Of her four year old son who had gone to visit his father she did not expect to find her former husband at home. It was evident that her plan, Uterhart said, was 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 Mir. De Saulles was not at home. She then started for the De Saulles cottage. hoping to reach there before he returned
 Uterhart asserted that Mrs De Saulles took a revolver with her for protection on her motor ride over lone ly roads in the dark and that she had no intention of shooting De Saulles until he refused to return their son to her.
 Mrs. De Sau1les was more composed in her cell today, although she asks for her son. Ire child was said to be still at the De Saulles home at Westbury.

The-new head of the armies, General Korniloff, also will be able to use more stringent means in keeping the Russian soldiers to their duty
