LEBAUDY'S WIFE, DAUGHTER AND HOME
ItaHans Ptan
To Gain U. S.
Aid at Parley
Mission Opens Headquarters
Here to Win Sympathy
for P e a e e Demands
Requests Called Modest
Army Officers in Charge of
Propaganda Movement
Explain Home Feeling
Two Italian nvniy officers, cor.otitut
ing what thoy term a "Mission for Re
dceming Lands o* Italy," yesterday be?
gan a nation-wide propaganda move?
ment here to win sympathy for de?
mands Italy will mako nt thc peace
table.
Although a map ohowing Italy's
Boutidariea as it is hoped they will
Ctand at tho concluslon of peace has
%?en prepared by the mission, the of
flcers refuse to make it pubiic until
Mter. Both officers explained, how
??er, that they thought Italy's de
?ands were modest and that the now
territory aaked would not total moro
than 10,000 square miles.
"Really a very modest request con?
sidering our efforts in the war and our
losses in human life, property und
actual cash," said Angelo Fanelli, of
the Royal Italian Artillery, junior
member of tho mission. Colonel Ugo
Pizzarello, who was wounded four
timca and decoratcd fourteen times for
bravery in uotion, is hoad of tho mis?
sion.
The officers said thoy were con
vinced President Wilson had listened
to Italy'es plea sympathotically and
tbat he would aid them at thc peace
table. When attention was called to
the President's jesting retort to state
menta of Foreign Miniater Sonnino
that he "would liko to give Italy New
York, but couldn't," Lieutenant Fanelli
smiled and said everybody had accept?
ed that remark as American humor.
Expects President's Aid '
"I took it to mean that the President
would give us anything he could, but
would be with Us in our European re?
quirements."
After explaining that Italian finances
and industries had improved material
ly during the war and that the nation
now was on a better business basis
and more worthy of American coopera?
tion and support than ever b'efore,
Lieutenant Fabelli referred to the
Balkan situation.
"Unfortunatcly, the Balkan problem,'
or, as we may more clearly state, the
Jugo-Slav affair, is greatly worrvingi
the Italif.n pubiic," he said. "Italy j
will be bitterlyd isappointed if sho
doesn't get the Adriatic problem set
tied according to her views, which are
modest as compared to claims of other
nations and thc sacrifices suffered by
Italy.
"No Italians of any party will admit
that any settlement of claims in Dal
matia can be agreed upon in artyjlrnjan
r.er short of the requests we have made:
If by misfortune any other settlement
should be made Italy will lose her in
tcrnal peace. Moreover, her people will
face a bitter disappointment, will grow
restless. and she probably will suffnr
such internal troubles us to upset the
whole problem of European reconstruc?
tion.
Doubt Jugo-Slavs' Abllity
"Another phase of the problem that
should be brought out is that Italians
do not believe that the new Jugo-Slav
federation can be established on a
solid foundation, becausu the peoples
thus united have had n ' -icc'-pt'-d ev'i
ration, have no background, experience
in self-government, or ftnances with
which to carry on their affairs. They
have been fighting one another fur cen
turies. Serbia alone might bo expected
to make good in this field, but none of
the others."
"Why do you feel so certain that
President Wilson will accept the claims
of Italy, when they are directly op?
posed to those of the smallcr nationali
ties that were our allies during the
war?" was asked.
"Because they are so just," answered
Lieutenant Fanelli.
Self Defence
To Be Plea of
Mrs. Lebaudy
Continued from ttiigu 1
but then he told mo to rip tho shut
ters from the windows in the front
of the house. I hesitated, thinking he
j would change his mind, but ho fahiy
yelled at he and 1 started to work,
trying to tako them down without
dumaging thqm.
" 'Don't do it like that,' he yelled,
'rip them pff.' 1 ripped a few of them
off and then ho mnrched me back into
tho hous.e where the messonger boy was
waiting, still frightencd. Mrs. Lebaudy
had gone. upstaira.
"It was pretty cold outside and my
hands were about frozen. and I had
just begun to warm them over the fue
when ho told me to get out-. I.told
him my hands were cold and I wanted
to get them warm before I attempted
to drive the automobile home, but he
told me to mind my own business, and
rernernbering his wHfe's "wurning, 1
obcyed.
"I had been back in Mineola only
! about half an hour when I saw a sol?
dier and a little boy running toward
I the station. The boy was the mes
| senger who had carried Lebaudy's
j small buudlo. all the way from New:
[York. Re- was crying and looked j
j frightened to death. The soldier had I
| mot him running toward Mineola from j
The Lodge, a distance of close to two >
miles. He said Lebaudy had refused j
to pay him, and when hc said he'd lose '
his job if he didn't get the money ho .
said Lebaudy threatened to shoot him,
and he ran tcrrorstricken from the ,
house.
Tragedy Not Lnexpected
"It was only a short time after that.
when I heard that Mrs. Lebaudy had
killed her husband. 1 knew something
like. that would happen. Two weeks
ago I took him home in my automobile.
lle stopned^to buy-bags of charcoal at
several small stores in Mineola, and
made tho people weigh the bags for
h i m.
"He had thc flashlight with him that
nigfhf-. too, and when we got to his
place he told me to guard the bags of
charcoal until he went insiclo. When
he gave me the signal he said I should
carry some of the bags in.
"'Don't carry more than two at. ?
time. Remember, not more than two
at a time-' he Said. A littlo whi.e later
1 saw a shade drawn in a daik 100m on
the iii'st floor and then h( electric
flash sent out a stream of lignt. That
was the signal and I started in with
two bags of the charcoal, I made sev?
eral trips of two bags each until I
had it all in. That night he chased
I his wife with ? carving knife."
Charles R. Weeks, District Attorney
of Xassau County, will appear before
the grand jury in the ('ounty Cou.rt
house at Mineola to-morrow to present
the facts of the case. ln all probabil
ity .Mrs. Lebaudy will be tried to a
charge of homicide. She was too ill
. with a severc case of bronchitis, ac?
cording to her pcrsonal physician and
Dr. G. F. Cleghorn, the county physi?
cian, "to be. remoyed to the county jail,

Untying the Knot
To hasten the return to normal trade conditions
at home and relations abroad we must promptly work
our way out of the financial tangle we are in.
Consider Europe's debt to the United States. It is
in the form of promissory notes, not collateralled, nor
in any way protected, but resembling, except that they
bear no definite maturities, the notes discounted by
banks for customers in good standing.
Why should not these obligations, with maturities
fixed and method of redemption agreed upon, be re~
issued in the form of acceptances, and marketecLexact
ly as any trade acceptance at the rate of interest of
the oiiginal debt, five per cent? Needless to say, they
would sell readily, and, moreover, they would be dis
posed of in a free market. There would be no necessity
of proportioning them among the banks, but rather
would they be distributed by the law of supply and
demand.
The immediate result would be to free the credit
now restricted, and so sorely needed by the business
community. The wheels of trade would begin to turn,
and part of the problem of re-employment of our
returning forces would be solved. Moreover, such dis?
position of the obligations would afford a basis for
the education of the American pubiic in the purchase
of foreign securities.
Above all, this suggested arrangement would
obviate the necessity for another Liberty Bond issue
with its accompanying complement of taxes. Thc
Government in presenting a new loan will be like a
merchant with a strong-box full of prime five per cent.
securities with a ready market, going to his bank in a
crisis to borrow when hc could sell without sacrifice.

SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTS OPEN FROM t A. M. TO MIDNIQHT
Cedar Street, Manhattan, appeared at
the Lodge this afternoon and an?
nounced he was the personal counsel
for Lebaudy and had come to take pos?
session of the property. Mrs. Lebaudy,
he said, had no cUims .Upon the estate,
estimated at several millions.
"We'll note what you say," jnter
rup'.ed tho District Attorney. "but .we
aro in possession of ihe property.''
Whereupon Mr. Murdock said he would
like to make u statement to the news?
paper men. ?
Thc lawyer said he had been thc per?
sonal representative of Lebaudy for
four years and wished to deny stories
to the effect that his client's mind was
unbalanced, relating that he hud been
pronounced sanc.in Brooklyn on Octo?
ber 5, 1915, by Justice Callahan.
"It was the lady upstairs who says
she is his wife who made the charge,"!
he said, looking toward the ceiling.
Mr. Murdock wa-* interrupted at this j
point and asked what he meant by the !
inference.
"Because," he said, "he was never'
married to her, and he so testified in
1916 and also that the child was not ?
his own. He has said the same thing
many times since."
Woman Merely a Housekeeper
Lebaudy had. never married any one j
unless during the last few weeks, Mr.
Murdock said. Mrs. Lebaudy had been
merely his housekeeper, coming from
France in 1914 with her daughter. She
vas recommended to Lebaudy, and he
hired her, according to Murdock's story,
and during his absence on business in ;
South America she assumed the name I
of Mrs. L'ebaudy. When Lebaudy re?
turned and he heard the neighbors ad- I
dress the woman as his wife hc said j
nothing, and because of this it was
naturally supposed the woman was his i
wife, Murdock declared. :
Murdock said he was cerain Lo- I
buudy's wealth ran into several mil?
lions. He had the body sent to an un
dertaking establishment at Hempstoad
and cablcd relatives of Lebaudy in i
Europe.
Mr. Moore, Mrs. Lebaudy's counsel, |
denied Murdock's story.

Norway Protests
Deporting Aliens
Who Dodged Armv
Senator Jones Declares He
Will Push His Bill Despite
Diplomatic Objection of
the State Departinent
By Carter Field
New York Tribune
Washingtim Hure.au
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.- Norway has
protested against a bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator Wesley L. Jones,
of Washington, which would deport
from the tJnited States all aliens who,
although they had taken eut their first
papers, withdrew them when there was
danger of their being draftcd into the
I'nited States urmy.
Thc State Department, in forwsirding
the copy of the protest, signed by
Norwegian Foroign Minister Bryn,
urged Senator Jones not to press his
bill, Acting Secretary of State Polk
taking the position that it "wculd
doubtless prove embarrassing to this
government in its relationa with for?
eign governments."
Secretary Polk nlso wrote to the
chairman of the Immigration Commit?
tee of the Sunate urging that because
of this protest ihe measure should not
bc prossed.
No matter whether thc proteefj* of
the State Department will be liueded
by u majority of members of Co,;j>,ress
or not, Senator Jones declared to-night,
hc will press the bill h? hns fathered,
"I regret very much," Senator Jones
aaid, "thc attitudo of the State De
prove tiiat she was married to him fif?
teen years ago and has livcd with him
ever since," he asserted.
The daughter is the child of the dead
man, the lawyer declared, and cxplained
tho marriage was a coniinon-law union.
"Just as soon as Mrs. Labauly rc
covers from her present illness she
will tell her full story," he added.
Strippcd House of Furniture
Another phase of Lebaudy's activi?
ties when he returned to The Lodge
two weeks ago was cxplained by aerv
ants, who said he stripped the main
rooms of furniture, announcing that
the decorations were "too beautiful."
On a previous occasion, several years
ago, he telephoned to Steve Petit, who
was the Sheriff of Nassau County.
"Is this Petit?" he inquired over the
phone.
The Sheiff replied.
"Wel, you cun go to hell," said La
baudy, and he hung up.
Mr. Weeks, tho District Attorney, will
summon all witnesses before the Grand
Jury to-morrow. Among them will be
Jacqueline, who, when she heard the
shots fired Saturday night, telephoned
Moore, her mother's lawyer, that
"Mama hud just shot papa." An in- i
quest has been ordered for Wednesday
by Coroner Jones.
Lodge Appears Deserted
The Lodge, which adjoins The Box,
where Jack Longer De Saulles was!
murdered by his wife, less than two j
years ago, is probably worth $50,000,1
although it is said that Lebaudy paid
u great deal more for it. It has been!
on the market for a long time, but a !
stiff price had been asked for it. The j
interior now gives the impression that!
it. is not tenanted, except in a few
of the rooms. The great dining room,
which was claborately decorated, has
been stripped of all furniture and is
bare except for n child's bicycle. The
majority of the other rooms appear the
same, where Lebaudy had "cleaned up."
Mrs. Cht>rlcs De Saulles, a sister-in
law to the late Jack De Saulles, who
lives at The Box, visited Mrs. Lebaudy
to-day and took Jacquehno to The box
to dinner. Another visitor was Ke\
