When the case wua resumed yester-day afternoon, the defense continuedit;) attempts to establish a foundationfor the Impeachment of Mrs, Turn-bull'S testimony, fir.st Offering for herexamination a string of advertisementsof tho Emma Ashley toilet parlors,\u25a0which tho witness had conducted inPasadena shortly after tho birth of herchild, tlio name of Mrs. Turnbull'S sis-ter V In., used.

The witness would not possibly Iden-tify the advertisements as having beeninserted In newspapers by her but saidthat they closely resembled noticeswhich .he had caused to bo published.Slkj positively denied the authorship ofa letter .ttaohed to the advertisements,however, declaring, "I denounce it asa forgery."

Letter after letter was shown heruntil, when they wero placed upon ex-hibition with the clerk of the court,they numbered nearly a score. Aftera close scrutiny of each, she repeated,"] aonounco It as a forgery" so oftenthn phrase Beemed like a mere formula.

"Why should so many letters havebeen forged?" asked Gavin McNab, forthe defense

"I don't know." nnswered Mrs. Turn-bull. "1 only Know that Baldwin's goldcould do almost nnythlng against a.defenseless woman."

SWINDLING TRIALSpectators Weep as Charities of

'Count' and 'Countess'Are Recalled

BOSTON WOMAN ASSAILED

Attorney Declares French CoupleHappy Till Mrs. Paine

Enters Their Life

fAssoclated Pre>=]

TOURS, Prar.ee, Dec. —"An amfiz-ing court drama of 'Passion and Pa-thos,'" is how a local paper tonightsums up tho trial of "Count" and"Countess" d'Aulby de Gatlgny, whoare charged with having swindled theDuchess de Cholseul-Praslln, formerlyMrs. Charles Hamilton Paine o£ Bos-ton. •

The epigram was based on today'ssensational development at the trialwhich so moved the auditors that thecustomary scenes of disorder, laughterand sheering changed to a burst ofweeping.

Reputable business and professionalmen of Tours, oa the stand, paintedD'Aulby and his wife as the incarna-tion of eiiatity and honesty, declaringthat their ministering to the wants ofthe sick and needy caused them «fr> boloved and esteemed throughout thecountry.

M. Uiot.'president of the Tours asso-ciation of lawyers, who drew up thecontract for the sale of tho picture"Antiope" to the late Mr. Paine, testi-fied that D'Aulby insisted on the Inser-tion of a clause that ha could not K"ar-auteo the authenticity of the picture.

TLTS BLAME ON MRS. PAINE

M. Dlot also said that neither D'Aul-by nor his wife had any Idea of busi-ness or the value of money, of whichthey received $12,000 almost every yearfrom lioston. They were passionatelyfond of music, and lived a hnppy familylife until Mrs. Paine entered D'Aulby'alife, which until then had been irre-proachable.

D'Aulby, tha witness said, was thevictim of the wiles of others who werenow trying to ruin him. As M. Diotgave instances of D'Aulby's allegedcharities, sobbing was heard in variousparts of the court room. The witnesssaid that it was always D'Aulby's in-tention to forward the wino for,whichMrs. Paine had given him $3700.

Every witness called by tho prosecu-tion today turned out to be a defenderof the defense, while tho testimony ofM. Desmoulin, a member of the juryIn tho Beaux Arts salon, Paris, plainlyproduced an impression most favorableto tho accused. D'Aulby, who underthe French system Is constantly ques-tioned on various points brought out bythe witnesses, shows signs of brenkini?down as a result of the .ordeal. As M.Diot and others lauded him today,D'Aulby sat with his head bowed onhis knees, a handkerchief hiding his,features. It Is announced that he hasspent eight months of his prison life incomposing music and In writing hismemoirs.

NEW YORKERS REMEMBERPAINTINGS OF DE GATIGNY

Spurious Works Displayed in theEast for Raising of Funds

NEW YORK. Doc. 23.—The cabledaccount of the trial in Tours, Franoe,of '-•Counf'd'Aulby dc Qatigny and hiswife, who was Miss Franceaca Lunt ofHuston, on the charge of selling spuri-ous paintings, recalls to New Yorkersthe count's visit to New York in 18US.His mission to this country was toraise money to rehabilitate the estateof his family, which was then in bank-ruptcy, he said. This lie expected to doby tlio sale of some thirty or fortypaintings that he brought with him.He was a small, thin, debonalre person.

The count engaged a show room onFifty-third Btreet and displayed hispictures, which he valued :<t several

hundred thousand dollars. The UnitedStrifes customs people assessed him$I^,ooo duty on them. One was "TheHorse Slm>\v." That, he admitted, wasii copy of Com. Bonheur's painting.But the other pictures, h« Insisted, wereu.ll originals. There were some creditedto Franz Hals, others by Rembrandt,Find still others from the brushes ofTitian, Raphael and Velasquez.

The pictures failed to draw buyers,although they received notices fromsome of the critics, and tho count wasfinally obliged to t;**ie all of them backwith him to France, lie w;is much putout when the custom authorities, de-clined to refund the $12,000 which hudbeen collected, and tried to have a billintroduced in congress to give him themoney.

Sebastian Made Police Chief;to Check Crime, His Promise

PLAN TO BETTERCITY MAPPED OUT

Galloway's Successor Rose fromBottom of Ladder by His

Meritorious Work

Violators of law ami others who forvarious arul sundry reasons exert theirInfluence to take the head of the po-lice department Into their camp men\\!,.> are now tukinir the measure ofCharlea K. Sebastian—will do well tobear In mind that the new chief of r>"-Hce of Los Angeles is from Missouri.

Along with this fact, they Bhould re-member that a, Mlssourlan holds it ashis inalienable ri^ht. to be "shown."Lieutenant Sebastian, of Universitystation, Is no exception to the rulo.And hailing from Champ Clarke Im-perial state, It is naurally a traithighly developed In Sebastian to"show" tho other fellow. Ho doesn'texpect the opposition to be laying itshands down ;;11 the time.

This, in brief, Is the case of Los An-geles' new chief of police. He plays asquare game, but being from Missouri,ho'a dangerous if ho finds there'scheating going on or that the rulesof tho gam© are being violated. In thapresent Instance the "rules" aro tilslaws, and-the "game" is running a city.

Sebastian will tako the office andoath of chief of police of this cityJanuary 3 and he will go in to bring;

about the highest state of efficiencytha,t can be attained in a system com-posed of human and not mechanicalIntegrals.

In brief, hero will be his program:

I --bstoSl! i'fSt 1to- choose anew head .for

| Sfef^Uce department. It **?**•££

K^nnmecT lor. jMpOSitl6i>^

To put an end to the sway of crimenow prevailing in Los Angeles.

To drive out all suspicious anil ob-jectionable characters.

To stop tho operation of dives andgambling- joints which serve as th«rendezvous for criminals of all kinds.

To Bee that the laws and city ordi-nance! are enforced, consistent withtlie ability of an efficient pollco de-partment to enforce them.

To encourage a better esprit do corpb

among the force; in other words, tomake a vigilant, aggressive, efficientpolice department which will affordample protection to the life and prop-erty of citizens of Los Angeles.

This is not a small program, butSebastian is not a sniaU man and a

look at his ten years of'record on theLos Angeles police force will servo toassure dubious persons that ho is thoman qualified to carry out just'sucha program.

Sebastian is the man to clean up LosAngeles and he says lie will do thebest he can when he takes office tosee that the laws are obeyed and thattho policemen do their duty. Ho willenter on a campaign which will be acleaning process dlri cted more to thoundesirable element now infesting

Los Angeles than to the department.Ho will take steps to rid the city ofthe holdups, thugs, lead pipo men,second-story worker*, yeggmen, foot-pads, highwaymen and all other per-sons "who prey on human life and prop-erty, by whatever name they may beknown.

A. BUSINKSSIJKK roue i:ma>

This will be tho new chief of police's

first task and. ho hopes to realizo itsoon, with the co-operation of the de-partment and tho moral support of thopublic. „ .

Lieutenant Sebastian was called onby a Herald man at University stationlate yesterday afternoon.

The offico was unliko most policestations. It exuded an atmosphere ofpeace and quiet. The work of the sta-tion was being carried on In a busi-ness-like, systematic manner: therewere no loud screams or screeches, no

shouting into tho telephone; the floorwas not spotted with tobacco juice norlittered with cigarette stubs. It wasan office where tha business of thopeople respecting tho transgressionsof the derelicts of society was being

transacted.The man in charge of the station sat

in the front office where lie could bet-ter carry on that business, leaving theprivate office in the rear cold and un-used. Thero was no hiding behind dig-

nified titles or assumption of officialimportance. Lieutenant Sebastian t»»

just as good a policeman without histitle as with it, and he gives promiseof being just as good an officer afterhe becomes chief as he is today. High

'offieo will not spoil him.STARTED AT TIIE BOTTOM

Sebastian is S8 yean old. But forthe gray haira freely Intermixed withthe black, he would scarcely appearmore than 30. He is five feet ten inchestall and weighs 175 pounds. Every po-lice officer in Los Angeles, from thonowest patrolman to the oldest clerk,knows him, for ho has. seen, all told,ten years of service In tho departmentin this city, and his elevation to thehead of tha service will complete thoclimb that he has made from the low-est rung on tho ladder to the highest,

Ho has worked his way up throughsheer merit and although bitterlyfought from tima to time by aspiringmen in the department, he held on bo-cause he attended strictly to his dutyand was known to ho capable.

uf Department Verifies An-• nouncement of Dec. 13

An exclusive announcement In TheHerald Tuesday, December 13, thatI.ieut. «... E. bastlan had been sele<ed as chief of police to succeed Alex-ander GallT.vay, was verified yester-day, when Mayor Alexander gave outiiu official statement to that effect fol-lowing a conference held with membersof the police commission Thursdaynight. The change will become effec-tive January 3.

Mayor Alexander had not been In his\>£fieo half an hour yesterday whenChief Galloway entered ami tenderedhis resignation to take effect January

3. There was nothing startling In thinaction, because it had been generallyunderstood that the chief would re-sign, In fact, it had been b< Uovi d thathis . jsignation- had been tendered tothe mayor at least a month ago andthat the mayor was keeping it untilthe proper man was found.

"Sebastian has been under conaidi ration for man than a month and howould probably have been announcedas the new chief before if some of thonewspapers had not tried to tore* thopolice commission to act," said MayorAlexander. •

"I believe Sebastian Is the rigW manIn tho right place. 1 have known himfor fifteen years or more and 1 knowhe is a man of splendid character." *

Tho new chief will be given a tech-nical leave of absence! for ono yearas lieutenant in the police department,so that ho may retain his civil servicerating as lieutenant. Ho will be for-mally appointed chief of police at thomeeting of the police commission tobo held Tuesday night, January 3. Ifthero should be a change of adminis-tration next year and tho now mayorhas some one else be prefers as chiefSebastian's leave of absence as lieuten-ant can bo canceled and ho will bereturned to the position ho now oc-cupies. This sanio proceedure wasfollowed when Capt. W. H. Aublo wasappointed chief of police and whenThomas Broadhead was appointed.

Tho police i jmmlssion wants to trya department man as chief and see ifit will work better than with a civilianhead of the department. Tho present

administration has ftad two civiliansfor <hiof, E. F. Dishman and Alexan-der Galloway.

Mayor Alexander said yesterday thatwhile Sebastian had been under con-sideration by the police commission formore than a month, two members ofthe commission had been in favor ofanother man, presumably Fire Com-missioner c. o. Hawley. and the delay In naming a new chief was partlydiio to the desire of the commissioners

, to have their choice unanimous.
