ing aside her apathetic manner as
though it had heen worn for a
mask, Mrs. IJlanca Ie.aulles, on
trial for the murder of her hus
band, was again the clever, keen,
flashing-eyed Patin girl of former
years when she took the witness
stand today.
Without hesitation and with ap
parently well-studied preparation,
she answered the leading questions
submitted to her by her counsel.
There was a slight Hush to the
usually pallid cheeks and an ex
pression of the eyes which seem?d
to tell of the witness appreciation
of the import of her testimony.
Past is Iiahl Pare.
Jack IeSaulles past was laid hare
by the little girl-wife. She told of
incidents to show that the former
Yale football star had been friendly
with other women after their mar
riage. Her testimony, for the greater
part, had much to do with the al
leged dissipation of her fortune by
her husband.
"When he found out how much
money I had ($100.000), he was
very much disappointed and said o
me 'This is not very much.' "
She then told of the many
amounts she had given him. rang
ing from $500 up to $20,000. she
told of two blank checks she had
signed before leaving on a trip to
Europe. These checks were later
filled out by her husband for $6,000
each, she said.
"When I asked him what had be
come of the money, he said he had
paid it for a house on Seventy
eighth st., in New York city," she
said. "Later, I found out that he
had only paid $7,000."
Tt lls of Trip With Duke.
In one instance, the eyes of the
witness flashed fire when her coun
sel asked her to tell what she knew
of her husband's association with
the Duke of Manchester.
"We were taking dinner one aft
ernoon," she said, "when PeSaulles
received a note from the Puke of
Manchester asking him to go ort a
yachting trip. He went. Iater I
saw him on the yacht with the duke
and there were many people with
them."
"Who were these people?" asked
the counsel.
"Were they men, or women?"
"Girls." she replied.
Very reluctantly, she told of n
trip to London, in which, she testi
fied, she went to a hotel to find her
husband.
"Who are you?" asked the clerk.
"I am his wife, Mrs. PeSaulles."
she said.
"Which one?" was the query.
"I felt deeply mortified." she said.
"and later when I barely missed
coming over on the Lusitania on her
last fatal trip.' I said to myself I was
sorrv that I was not on that boat."

More than 30 Italian frim

quizzed by the police but none
of them would shed any light
on the mystery.
Two rumors are bein cir
culated persistently here con
