 For Her Life at MineOla "HER DARLING DINKIE !"


 cused Woman to Her Husband Show That Her Heart Was Wrapped Up fin Husband and Family.
 Mineola, Nov. 28.-There was less than a score of spectators in the court room this morning when the murder trial of Mrs. Blanca DeSaulles was re- sumed. The pretty Chilian woman finished her testimony yesterday af- ternoon.
 D. Steward Iglehardt, a member of the firm of w. R. Grace x Co.,, South American merchants, was the first witness called by Henry A. Uterhart, Mrs. DeSaules' attorney.
 The witness said Mrs. Iglehardt had been acquainted with Mrs. DeSaulles' family in Chile for some years-that they had often visited at the Erraz- uriz home there.
 Iglehardt said he received a tele- phone call from Mrs. DeSaulles early the night of the tragedy. He declared she was terribly worried" because 'Jack," her son, had not been re- turned to her home by DeSaulles' and
 
 ''The Box" in an endeavor to get him.
 Iglehardt testified that he refused because the service she required was "a delicate matter"
 Miss Amalia Errazuriz. Mrs. De- Saulles' sister, was next called to hte stand. She gave corroboration of, the defendants story that she suffered a fall when a child in Chile, a fall in which she struck her head against a fireplace and sustained severe in- juries.
 Wanted An Estate.
 DeSaulles, Miss Errazuriz testified, asked her mother to buy him an es- tate in Chile while he and Mrs. De- Saulles were visiting there. Her mother said she could not do that but offered to give her son-in-law a part of Vina del Mar, her estate near Santiago, the witness declared. De- Saulles insisted upon being given com plete control of the entire estate and when this was refused the young woman said he treated her mother "rudely."
 In reference to an automobile ac- cident in which Mrs. DeSaulles claims she sustained another injury to her head, the witness said her sister was confined to her bed for -four five days' following the occurrence. This happened during a visit to Chile while she was married to DeSaulles.
 Miss Errazuriz also gave testimony in support of the defendants claim that DeSaulles sought to alienate his sons affections for his mother through nurse whom he engaged for the boy. After visits at his fathers home, Miss Errazuriz said the boy would be manageable when he returned to his mothers custody.
 Jack told me that Boobie (his nickname for the nurse) told him to act bad when he returned to his mother" the witness declared.
 Some Letters.
 During her testimony late yesterday afternoon, Mrs. DeSaulles was shown several letters which she identified as having written to her husband. One of them, addressed to her Precious Dink," was:
 Dearest Precious Dink:-I've just got your long letter of June "A, and it's just as sweet as yourself. Of course, I am anxious or rather lock- ing forward to going back immensely. but, on the other hand, I had been making so many plans for having a nice summer with Mayara, who is sweeter than ever. and darling Auntie. whom just adore-she is like a. sweet mother, who never scolds or finds fault with everything one does or says One thing I'm afraid of Is if I go to Huntington Louise and Maurice will have you so much under their wing that I shall never have you all to myself. Till when have you got the cottage? How would it be if I went back in month from now?
 July 10.
 Dearest Dink:-You send me such an extraordinary cable. I could not believe it came from you. I got it on the 7th and you tell me to sail on the 11th. Dinky, how could you imagine I would be ready in time. In the first place Mrs. Mooney is still in Ireland. She comes back to- morrow. Then I've ordered all my linen, and that won't be ready until the end of the month-then the baby's food has to be ordered week before. so they can prepare the milk so it will last through the trip. Then I've got to buy a trunk for my clothes-darl- ing, there are billion million things to do. I got your perfectly sweet cable today and, of course, I an- swered immediately that I was going on the 18th because when you put things so sweetly I'll do anything you want. However. the 18th is just one week from now and I hardly see how Pm to make it. I'll try my hardest. You see. I've ordered a number of things which I shall have IT T look up q steam CT.
