when an actor who was VIGOROUSLY
stingy came in accompanied by two

were not on the best of terms, but the
former was feeling a bit mellow hirn-

most unprecedented burst of generos-

Testimony in Hearing.
SENSATIONAL STORIES TOLD
Iates Tales of "Joy Rides" Which
Mrs. Schenk and Admirer
Took on Many Occasions.

Wheeling, w Va, Jan. IS. - The
most damaging evidence yet given
against Mrs. Laura Farrsworth
Schenk, on trial, accused of her hus
bands poisoning, was given by state
witnesses
], w. Meyers, former councilman,
was on the stand. DR. Meyers said
that Mrs Schenk got bichloride tab
lets and $50 less than an ounce OF
sugar of lead from him, but she asked
for two ounces of FOWler's solution
of arsenic and that he had refused
to give this. He also said that
Mrs. Schc x said she would pay him
well for it. She asked that the doc.
tor keep her visit quiet
DR.. Meyers said that when he re-
fused her The FoWlers solution Mrs
Schenk told him that she got some of
it two weeks before from another ply
stefan, but refused to give this doc.
tors name. This caused much con-
sternatiOn in the camp of the defense
and Attorney Boyce severely grilled
the physician, asking him questions
in regard to his ever taking brides
while a councilman and asking him
whether Albert Schenk, brother of
John, had bribed him To these ques-
lions Meyers answered "No."
DR.. Burns, another witness, said :
"The facts would indicate to me that
prior to Oct q the patient was suf-
fering from chronic lead poisoning;
that on Oct 81 and p he was suffer
ing from acute arsenical poisoning ;
that subsequently to Oct % he was
suffering from lead poisoning and
acute arsenical poisoning"
Luddy Wilson, the chauffeur Of the
Schenks, who was on the stand, gave
some evidence that is unprintable. He
told of many Coy rides of Mrs
Schenk and Dan Phillips and also tes-
titled that he carried notes between
the pair Wilson said that on these
rides they always stopped near
Smithfieid, O., and that he would then
get out of the car and stay away until
he heard the toot of the horn of the
machine. which was signal for him
to return.
Witness said that Mrs Schenk had
told him she would rather have one
night Of Dams society than one hun
dred years with her husband, Will
son recited many improper incidents
with Dan Phillips, Mrs. Schenk' S
young society blood" and Mrs.
Schenk as the principals.
The state will probably rest today
or Thursday and Prosecuting Attorney
Handlan says he will have a large
amount of rebuttal testimony. 1t is
probable that the prosecuting attor-
ney will not attempt to show where
the woman secured the arsenic, until
the rebuttal testimony is on.
