Laura Schenk.
DR.. Frank Hupp, who reported the
alleged poisoning to the authorities
and who is considered the star wit
ness for the state, was under cross
examination by Attorney O'Brien
nearly all day. Among other things
admitted by Hupp was that he was
not sure that symptoms exhibited by
Scnenk even after his removal TO
the hospital. were due to arsenical
poisoning, until the mineral water
used by Schenk had been analyzed
by experts; that the discolOratiOn of
the patients gums was probably due
to a diseased condition and the fact
that Schenk did not use tooth brush,
rather than to lead poisoning; and
that he was not continually confined
To his bed
The statement was made by the
witness that Schenk was "bedridden"
rather than "bedfast' 1t was gen

Hupp said that bismuth is given

Schenk's condition when the witness
was called to attend him.
on redirect examination, Hupp
said that Schenk was removed from
his home to the hospital not because
of his dangerous condition. but be-
cause of a suspicion that the packer
was being poisoned. He said that
the suspicion was based on the fact
that Schenk became violently i'll each
