CHARGES AGAINST WIFE.
Sensational Developments Expected in
the Case of millionaire Schenk, Be-
lieyed to Have Been Poisoned.


the Case of Millionaire Schenk, Be
lieved to Have Been Poisoned.
Wheeling, W. Va, Nov. 11.-Th'
third point in the triangle tragedy III
volving Mrs. Laura Farnsworth schenk
now in the Wheeling jail charged will
poisoning her husband, j. 0. schcnk
millionaire pork packer, is expected te
develop today. Prosecuting Attorney
Handlan promises the arrest OF the
man in tue case, /" and that arrest, ht
declares, will cause sensation.
Far into the night the beautiful WON
an faced a gruelling third degree" in
the Wheeling jail. Since her arrest she
had been calm and unmoyed, but al
the close Of the examination she was III
a state OF almost mental and physical
collapse 1t was at this time that
Handlan declared he had evidence
against the woman that will send her to
the penitentiary and that the arrest OF
another would come either today or to-
morrow. This declaration led to tho
rumor that tho beautiful wife OF the
millionaire had broken down under the
strain OF tho hours Ut questioning anu
that she had made some sort OF q
con fesson. The authorities, however,
declined to confirm this.
The rumor has been persistent today
that at least one, possibly two, Dusl-
ness men OF the town will be connected
in some way with the case.
In his cherries room at North
Wheeling Hospital today schenk was
told for the first time the real cause OF
his illness. DR.. Frank NJ. Hupp, in an
effort to learn the early Status OF his
PATIENTS case, ted him Of the suspi-
cions of the authorities that he had
been poisoned. The sorely stricken
millionaire cried like child.
'Oh! Laura, Laura" he sobbod, and
turning his face TO the wall he refused
absolutely to talk.
Prosecutor Handlan and his aides
arr hard at work assembling all the
evidence they have so far secured in
the case. Specimens Of the medicine
and lithia water given Schenk during
his illness at his home, with the chem
ical analysis made at John Hopkins
University are in the possession OF the
prosecutor. These analyses, the pros
ocutor claims, show the presence OF
arsenic in practically every sample.
Although Handlan refuses to discuss
the case in detail, it is understood that
servants at the Schcnk home anu
nurses WHO cared for Schenk are
among his witnesses. 1t is alleged that
the Silcnk chauffeur was offered
bride of 81 900 if he would take his
employer out in his auto and run the
machine into the ditch. A nurse at
the North Wheeling Hospital is ex-
pccted to tell that she was offered
money to poison Schcnk even after his
removal to the hospital.
1t was announced by the hospital
physicians today that Schenck will
probably recover.

William Jennings Bryan in his COM
ment upon the result OF the recent
election says the next Congress will
be democratic by a safe majority,
which means Champ Clark for speaker
and the overthrow OF Cannon. The
democrats gain several seats in the
United States Senate, and these, with
gains made by the progressive repub-
licans, make it probable that the Senate
will submit constitutional amend
ment providing for the election OF
United States senators by direct vote
Of the people. The democrats have
every reason to hope for a presidential
victory in 1912"
