HYPOTIiYROID CONDITION

The testimony OF DR.. }. sherman
Wight, Mrs. DcSaullcs's physician, dur
ing her three months Imprisonment
and that OF Drs Jeliffe and Johnson all
tended to show she had symptoms of
"a marked hypothyroid condition when
they examined the defendant "A few

The doctors said this disease is
caused by an insutiicicncy of the secrc-
tions of the thyroid gland in the blood
stream. Without an adequate amount
OF these sccrctions they declared. the
vital processes of the body are retarded
and the patients mental functioning
becomes impaired.
The witnesses bore out Mrs De-

the defendant she seemed irrational

ON THREE MAIN POINTS

maids answers to-day when compared
with those she gave in a deposition
taken by counsel for the prosecution
and defense shortly after August 3.
This deposition was read 10 the jury
District Attorney Weeks pointed ,ut
material differences in the two ac-

but on three main points he was un-
able 10 NOV" Misc Monteau from her
FIRST narrative.
Mrs. DeSaulles told me to 20 with
hcr-that she was going over TO The
Bon TO get little Jack" said the maid
in reference to her mistress purpose

claims Mrs. DcSaullcs went TO her dl-
Norced husbands home intending to
shoot him
Didn't Mrs DcSaullcs tell you jus,
after the shooting that She was glad
she did it. and that she hoped he died >"
asked Attorney Weeks
''rha; is not So" replied Miss Mon
teau, emphalically.
The third point on which the maids
testimony remained firm was her dec
laration that Mrs. DeSaulles said. on
entering The Box" that she had come
10 take her boy home with her
AS TO the manner in which Mrs De-
Saulles fred the shots and whether De-
Saules was facing her or had turned
away. the witness seemed confused
Previously she had said her mistress
took the revolver from her pocket and

NINETEENTH EPISODE
Her Vow Fulfilled

As Lois Stafford fled down She ter
races Of her fathcr-in-law's majestic
estate. her own life seemed 10 be sym
bclizcd in her desperate ambition to
destroy herself. The flowers and the
aromatic shrubs threw out their frag
rance about her. but she would not
pause. She was bent upon the tragedy
waiting for her In the deep ravineI
toward which the express train was
plunging us If In obedience to her sum
mons.
The cries Of Gloria. who pursued
her frantically. came 10 her like tn,
voice or conscience. She had never
needed that voice and she would moi.
hcarken Ia II now. She had trodden
the primrose path Of dalliance aud II
had led her forth into the glare of ex
posture. She would not endure the
shame. 1t seemed better To her ire
sponsible soul 10 run away from self
denial. She had not cared what laws
of fidelity she broke and She did not
care now what hearts she might
break. Her husbands furnished honor,
her fathers blighted career, did not
win a thought from her.
II was Gloria who thought Of these
things even aS she followed. Gloria
felt more guilt han Lois, for Gloria
had confronted Lois with the proofs
Of her perfdy. never f%ancying that
Lois would answer the charge by pun
fishing herself with the same reckless
ness that had marked her sin. As she
saw Lois running toward death with
eagcrncss, she understood for the first
time that Ii was In Lois character
To do everything ~passionately. She
realized that Lois had always been
Lois, and that her fault was, perhaps.
beyond her own control. Lois was
