twelve men in whose hands her fate
will rest tonight
With the exception Of few times
during the trial, when she dropped
her head and blushed, Mrs. Schenk
has borne up stoically throughout the
long ordeal Yesterday, however,
tired, worn and sobbing, she showed
the strain of her position. 1t was
while her chief attorney, J. J. p. o,
Brien was making his plea that she
showed the greatest emotion, and
the jurymen, too, shed tears.
At the morning session Mr.. Maury
resumed his argument In behalf Of
the state. He closed in n half hour.
Frank A. O'Brien opened for the ac-
cused He was followed by his
brother, who was in turn followed by

and the case is expected to 90 to the
jury before adjournment this after

bets on the outcome OF the trial. For
several days the betting fraternity
has taken advantage of the publicity
of the trial, and books are being
made on the result like a horserace.

MRS PARK TO WE'D IN LONDON
Her Marriage to chauncey M. Depew
Senator's Nephew to be Held Soon

senator's NepneW 10 be He'd soon
New York, Jan. 25.--It was learn
ed yesterday that the wedding OF
Mrs. Trenor l.. Park and Chauncey
Mitchell Depew, a nephew of Senator
Depew, will take place in London
about the middle of February. Mrs.
Park, no has been spending part Of
the winter in New York, only announ-
ced her engagement to a few intim-
ate friends just before she sailed on
the Adriatic last Saturday. Her home
is at "A Avenue de Bots de Boulogne,
Paris.
Mr.. Depew came originally from
Buffalo but has made his home abroad
since he and his first wife, who was
Mrs. Leila Perry Adams, were diyorc-
ed. He is a son of William b. De
pew. In 1898 he applied to the Su-
preme court at Buffalo to allow him
to change his name to Mitchell De
pew, as the similarity of his name
with that of his uncle often proved
confusing, but the court refused to
allow him to change his name.
Mrs. Park was Miss Julia Catlin,
daughter of the late julius Catlin Of
this city. Since the death of her
husband in 1907 she has lived in Par
is. AT the time of his death, Mr. Park
was Commodore of the American
Yacht club. He left fortune to his
wife and daughter, Miss Frances
Park of $S,OO0,O0O. 1T was only
short time ago that Mrs. Park
brought suit against her daughter for
damages for Withholding her dover
interest in the income of her hus-
bands estate, and to have the dover
interest of the estate fixed upon. A
younger daughter, Miss Ju ia Park,
was killed in 1906 while playing on
the roof of the Park residence at II
East Sixty-third street.
