3 LONDON, September 12.-'From
Ducal Mansion to laundry" sounds like
a take-off on the title of such old boy
hood volumes as From Log Cabin to
White House." But 1t is the actual
description of the latest move of the
Dowager Duchess of Rutland. mother
of Lady Diana Duff Cooper of Mir
acle" fame.
The duchess has just moved from
her old residence on Arlington street.
which was the town house of the
Dukes Of Rutland 200 years, to a little
stone lodge across the courtyard. The
place used to be the laundry of the
big house.
In two rooms there-bed and sit
ting room-she has installed herself,
using for furniture and decorations
the things from the mansion which
she bought in when its contents were
auctioned recently. The famous
Arlington street house itself Is to be
sold.
A narrow flight OF stone steps leads
up to the lodge sitting room, which
the duchess has furnished in eastern
fashion with curios she collected on
many journeys throughout the world.
The ironing board now serves as stand
for a pair Of beautiful Chinese vases,
while above the quaint fireplace
formerly the laundry grate-hangs
one of the Rutland ancestral por-
traits.
A mellow-toned spinet occupies one
corner of the room. The change is
only the latest of a long series of
examples showing how the wealth of
England is passing from the old titled
landed aristocracy into the hands of
business, industrial and financial mag.

LITTLETON, Col, Nov. 10.-Ex-
pert testimony continued today to
rivet the attention of jury and spec
tators in the dramatic trial Of Doc
tor Harold Elmer Blazer for the
alleged murder for pity of his

in district court here.

tenseness that has characterized the

proceeding and surrounding the

the tall, gaunt defendant himself
and his second daughter, Mrs.

by tWitters and .outbursts OF laugh
ter as attorneys and alienists clashed
over opinions and descriptions Of
temporary insanity.
High-sounding terms of ''psychical
automatism, "clouded amnesia,"
"hysterical somnambulism," incl
ancholia insanity" and "nigraine"
sounded through the little court
room as the testimony Of the alien
lists was heard.
Defense Scores
The defense scored late yesterday
when Doctor Daniel E. Phillips.

University and Doctor Cyrus Perish
ing, noted specialist in nervous and
mental diseases, got before the jury
statements that, in their opinion the
defendant was not able to dis

These opinions were based on a

Denver, a brother of Doctor Cyrus
Pershing, is scheduled to take the
stand as the final defense alienist
today. The defense will then rest
