why she was held a prisoner.

beg to be told that it was not true"
The boy was still wearing yester-
day the sheriff's badge which had
been given to him on his visits to
the Mineola Jail, where he was known
as the sheriff.
Mrs. De Saulles was asked If she
intended to take any steps to re-
cover from the DeSaul1es estate any
of the money alleged to be due her
from property bought by Desaulles
with her money.
II would not touch a penny of it
under any circumstances" she said.
And I need money. I may have to
go to work.
Mrs. Desaulles denied that she had
cried after the appeal to the jury by
Mr.. Uterhart.
do you think would go through
what I did at the trial and then cry
over myself ?" she said.
Mrs. DeSaulles said she thought
District Attorney Weeks had mot

sells praise for his "gentlemanly"
conduct of the trial.
Mrs. DeSaulles feels secure in the
possession of her son. The POSSIBLE
ity Of legal action is anticipated If
she should try to take the child to
Chile. because Of the position taken
by American courts against allowing
an American boy to lose his nation
atty. But Mrs. DeSaulles was en-
phatic in asserting that she had no
intention Of taking the boy to Chile,
and that she intended to bring him
up an American.

Dodge Brothers dealers in the United States and Canada are be- ginning to receive their first con- signments of Dodge Brothers com mercial car Already this car has been proclaimed a favorite in the commercial field and dealers are pre-
 pairing for demand as heavy as that which has greeted the other Dodge brothers products since they came on the market three years ago
 The building of the commercial cal was influenced by the frequent and consistent demand for Dodge Brothers chassis for commercial purposes. The mechanical features of Dodge Broth CTS standard touring car so well adapted to use for light commercial work that hundreds of business con cerns bought the chassis alone and had special commercial bodies built to suit their requirements. Naturally, this practice led to a demand for d light commercial car as a part of the Dodge Brothers regular line of cars.
 The result is the practical, sub stantial and good-appearing vehicle which is now being marketed. Pre- cisely the kind of car you would eX- pect Dodge Brothers to build" was the remark with which many dealers received it. The specifications are similar to those of the standard tour
