Much of the expert, testimony will concern the thyroid condition styled "hypotyreosis" by Mrs. De Saulles' attorneys from which, they claim the defendant was suffering at the time of the shooting.

Another phase of the testimony to be presented through these experts i will concern a fracture of the' skull Mrs. De Saulles is alleged to have sus tained some years ago and which is said to have left a particle of bone pressing on the brain. This, it is con tended, served to aggravate the de fendant's mental condition. .In con nection with this alleged skull frac ture, Attorney Utterhart has stated X-ray photographs will be introduced. The taking of testimony in the trial is not expected to be completed be fore next week. D. Stewart Iglehardt, an importer, was the first witness called today.
