ADVERTISED At LAST.

There was a merchant in our town
Who was SO wondrous wise
He saw his business running down,
Yet would not advertise.
Said he: IT cannot SEQ the sense
When trade is at its worst
OF multiplying my expense,
I'll wait till trade comes first"
At last this merchant, all advised,
Had naught to do but fail,
And then the sheriff advertised
A bankrupt auction sale.

Mr.. Ingersol took the stand and in
feeble voice made a short statement
to tie court and attempted to explain
the charges. He said he was rs years
old and had, been in business Al years
coming to Biddeford in August. 1869
Since then he had been treasurer OF
the bank until last August. When
he became connected with the bank il
was a five cent savings bank and
the deposits were $4,000. while last
August they aggregated Sl,500,0 900. The
dcpusit0rs were largely of foreign BIRTH
ard their accounts involved It large
amount OF labor. He kept all the led
gers and bank books and for {; long
time he had no assistance. When
an assistant was furnished his duty
practically was only t. handle money
taken in, enter the same on the de-
positors' pass books and on the book
kept iii the bank. Mr.. Ingersol said
he looked after all the other business
working days and nights often times
from a. NJ. until 8 or 10 o'clock at
night and many holidays.
The work in the bank had increased
constantly in recent years. owing tc
reports to the State banking depart
ment and other duties. After the
trouble last August the books were
not accessible to him. he said, until
after permission was granted by the
court Wednesday and the tine was
quite limited for him to make an eX-
animation. Counsel also explained
that they had examined the books
which related to the transaction ii
the indictment and he had not beer
able to render much assistance. Mr.
Ingersoll attempted to explain mat,

named in the indictment but it was
disconnected and not made clear.

more light on the matter and so the

ing that there was a deficiency from
various causes of over 100000 in the
accounts, was sentenced to serve two
years in the county Jail at Alfred by
Judge II. C. Peabody in the supreme
court today.
He was indicated last fall on four
counts alleging the embezzlement OF
$500 in September 1909. and $1,000 each
or three other occasions within six
years. Owing to his feeble condition,
due to mis- ace and the effects of two
attempts to commit suicide, his trial
was postponed until this term of court
Today he was taken before Judge Pea
body, accompanied by his attorneys,
who included Edward c. Reynolds of
Portland, one of the supreme repre-
sentatives from Maine to the Supreme
Lodge. knights of Pythias. and g
friend of many years standing. The
reading of the indictAent was waived.
A plea of nolo contendere was entered
for two counts alleging the embezzle-
ment of 5000 and $1,000. The sentence
was given for the first count for the
$500 taken. The second count was
placed on file and the other two were
dropped.
While the amount of the discrepancy
has been fixed at about $335.000 1t has
been explained that a very consider
able portion of this was due to bad in
vestments many years ago which were
concealed and which made necessary
the compromising of interest on depos
itors' accounts which had not actually
been earned. Mr.. Ingersoll has told the
bank officials. it has been alleged, that
he had not taken over $4,000, while the
representative of the bonding company
told the bank commissioner that he ap-
proximated it at $4,000.

Enormous Crowds al Trial
Of Mrs. Laura f.Schenk.
CIandesiine Intimacy Exposed
Between Prisoner and Clerk.


Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. 13.-There
were many rumors last night that the
trial of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth
Schenk, charged with poisoning her
husband. was to be stopped and
commission in lunacy appointed to ex-
anime Mrs. Schenk. Counsel for both
sides were most emphatic this morn
ing in denying that any such move
had been contemplated.
Prosecuting Attorney Handlan as
serted this morning that within the
next two days a witness would be
called by the state who would show
that Mrs. Schenk purchased quantities
OF arsenic and sugar of lead shortly be-
fore the return of her husband from
Europe.
When the trial was resumed the
room was full and crowds were stand
ing in the street. DR.. o. w. Burdatts.
Schenk's dentist. testified that he ex.
amined Schenk's teeth after he became
i'll. At first he believed the discolora-
ton was caused by a diseased condi.
ton of the gums, but later he conclud-
ed something he did not understand
was wrong with him.
DR.. j. W. Mallett. emeritus professor
of chemistry at the University of yir-
'ginia, the next witness, stated that his
tests Of water used by Schenk showed
that it contained eight tenths of
grain of white arsenic to the pint, or
so grains of Fowler's solution.
Florence Coleman, a maid who for
merly worked in the Schenk family
testified that the Friday preceding
Mrs. Schenk's arrest she had been told
by Mrs. Schenk to clean Johns room,
ready for his occupancy. She denied
ever putting anything or seeing any,
thing in the water. Edward McAlis-
ter, the druggist from whom the water
and medicine came. said no lead was
used in the quinine compound or the
mature cascara.
The first real sensational testimony
appeared at the afternoon session was
Daniel u. Phillips. a clerk in piano
store. was called to the stand. Phil
lips declared he had frequently been
invited by Mrs. Schenk to accompany
her in ner automobile and they had
met by appointment at out of TIE way
places, taking long trips together. Re-
freshments were always In the car,
When asked il his friendship for Mrs.
Schcnk developed into criminal in
tmacy, the defence fought desperately
against the admission of the question
was but was over-ruled. Phillips re-
fused to answer, saying it would put
him in disrepute.
did the defendant finally visit the
store where you were employed SO often
that she became embarrassing and you
were forced to ask her to stop it?" he
was asked.
THAT is true" Phillips replied. He
then admitted that after they had
been driven out into the country the
chauffeur would leave the car in charge
of Mrs Schenk and return at given
signal Phillips said Mrs. Schenk had
frequently given him expensive pres
ents. including a diamond pin and
a fur lined overcoat. He said he
had often talked with Mrs. Scherk
about securing a divorce from her hus-
band, John Q. Schenk. e..
