Kankakee. ILL.,, Nov ga purport-
ed confession, in which two brothers
attempted to protect each other, is
said by the police to have been made
by David and Arthur Bauer eonern-
ing the 100000 fire here last We'd
nesday, when several stores were de-
stroyed or damaged.
Erthur Bauer at the preliminary
hearing today said that he bought
benzine and gasoline in Chicago and
saturated bales of Gotten goods in the
basement OF the Model store. He said
he left a carefully timed candle burn
ing and that at 3:45 o'clock in the
morning a terrific explosion took
place, followed by fire.
He insisted that his brother David
knew nothing Of the plot David in
sisted that he did and both were held
to the grand jury on charge OF
arson.
Some parts of the story are doubted
by detectives, but it appeared that
Arthur was attempting TO shield his
brothers family from disgrace ard
that David did not wish him to accept
all responsibility.

Mrs. De SaulIes Tells of Her First
Meeting With Handsome "Jack" for
Whose killing She Is On Trial.

Mineola, N Y, Nov. 2s.-Mrs.
Bianica De Saulles took the witness
stand this morning when court opened
and upon her physical ability to
face the gruelling examination de-
ponds the success of her plea for ae-
quittal of the murder of her former
husband, John L. De Saulles, one time
Yale football star and club man.
Doubts that Mrs. De Sauiles would
be able to bear up under the ordeal
were raised following the visit of her
physician to the Jail last night, when
it was said she had steadily lost
strength since her trial began week
ago. She seemed even more pale to-
day than on preceding days of the
trial, but composure marked her at
titude as she took the stand. The
court room was jammed early and
many were unable to gain admittance
Mrs. De Saulles' answers to the first
question. put by Henry A. Uterhart
aseEsAe1ed were uttered iii such 6
| low tone that Justice Manning inter
rupted to urge her to speak louder
| She testified that in early childhood
| she fell while playing in her home
! striking her head against fireplace
Next the defendant, in reply to ques
, tons, told Of her meeting with Dt
| Saulles at a race meeting near San
tiago, Chile, in 1912, of his subsequent
visits to her mothers home. Vina De
Mar, ''the vineyard by the sea-" neal
| Santiago; of her brief cogrtship ans
marriage in December of the same
year in Paris.
When the questioning was resumed
this afternoon, Mrs. De Saulles tolt
how her husband is alleged to hay'
| gained possession of New York hom'
! bought with her money.
She said he asked her to sign
legal paper which she afterwart
| learned was deed transferring tn
property to Stephen S. futile. D
Sau!les' secretary.
Upon her return from a visit t
Chile, the defendant said, De Saulle
would not permit her to live in tn
apartment in New York in which h
had established himself. He told he
that these are bachelor quarter
only"
Mrs. De Saulles said she afterwar
learned her husband had entertain
ed" Joan Sawyer, dancer, for severa
months in the apartment.
