worth Schenk viii appear in the Criminal
Court Monday to plead 10 the indictment

ing of her husband, John o. Schenk. the

Mr.. Schenk is still In a very serious
condition at the North Wheeling Hospital

dictment against his wife.
Friends of the woman say that the
State is railroading Mrs Sehenk to the
penitentiaTy ana say that never in the
history of West Virginia has a prisoner
been denied a preliminary hearing. They
say that the State will rush the trial and
convict Mrs. Schenk before her husband
is well enough TO leave the hospital.
IF Mr. Schenk could tell his story in
court" one of those interested said, the
entire case would change, and the i'm
prisoned woman would walk from jail as
free person"
