mass of technical and sensational tes
tirnony. the jury i'll the case of Laura
Schenk, charged with poisoning hel
husband, announced late today that i,
was hopelessly divided and was dis.
charged by the court. Tonight Mrs
Schenk is again in jail despite he,
hopes to be a free woman.
The final vote of the jury STOOD
eleven to one in favor of acquittal
The juror who blocked the verdic,
was Isaac HeyInan who. from the
start, held the woman guilty of the
crime charged.
The rumor that charges of bribery
and attempted bribery had been made
by members of the jury following thei1
discharge were later denied by several
jurors.
OPENING OF COURT.
Judge Jordan was on the bench when
court opened this morning and one OF
the jurors inquired if he might ask &
question in open court concerning
some of the evidence. He was told 10
put it in writing and the court would
consider it.
Mrs: Schenk closely scanned the
faces Of the jurors as they slowly filed
out Of the court room and across the
corridor to their room. She looked
much better than when court closed
last night, for at that time she col
lapsed and was i'll after reaching her
cell in the tower. --.- 8
r Apparently the feeling prevails that
when jury has been out for hours
it is a hung jury"
!. Soon after the jury retired, it an
a1ounced its desire to communicate
with the court and it was called back
to the box.
AS it slowly fled into its place the
foreman presented several questions in
writing. They had to deal with the
evidence of Florence Coleman, a negro
domestic who had been employed by
the John Q. Schenk family and who
had testified regarding certain persons
in the house on given days.
The woman testified that on the day
Mrs. Schenk, her husband ands the
detective nurse went for a ride. there
were other persons in the house. Two
of them. she said, were domestics, but
she knew nothing about them. One
of the women was the detective do
lnestic who had been placed IN the
Schenk house by a detective agency
and who was discharged by Mrs.
Schenk after thirty-siX hours because
she could not do the work
The Coleman womans testimony
was a surprise to both sides and was
blurted out without question. The
prosecution attempted to have her say
she had been mistaken, but she refused
to reconsider her evidence. In his ad-
dress to the jury J. J. p. O'Brien said
that during the absence of the others,
one or both of these persons might
have placed poison in the water.

BANK OF ENGLAND REDUCES
DISCOUNT TO 4 PER CENT
Ry Associated nress

LondorlA- Jan. 26.-After a proiong I'd
the directors of the Bank nf
England today reduced the bank dis
count from 4 12 to 1 per cent. This
action was unexpected, il view of the
present stringency in the money mar
ket. which recently hardened private
discounts. Evidently the directors
were guided to their decision by the
fact that they have absolute control
of the money market through tax col
Iections and will be able TO make the 4
per cent rate effective.
When the bank returns are pub
iished. the reserve probably will show
a good increase Discount rates at
foreign Centers also are lower than in
London and there is an absence of
foreign gold demand. It is believed
that the Indian requirements are less
pressing and probably this helped to
bring down the minimum rate.
