by Associated Press,)

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 2O.-Prose-
cutting Attorney Handlan, who has
been conducting for the state the trial
of Mrs. Laura Schenk, charged with
poisoning her husband, has been sub
poenaed by the defense as a witness.
Evidence as to how certain witness
es have been paid and an attempt to
bring out evidence of conspiracy of
the Schenk family against their client
is part of the plan of her lawyers.
DR.. ]. j. Osborne, one of the physi.
clans sent by Mrs. Schenk's lawyers
to the hospital to examine Schenk UNI
der cross-examination, testified that
schenk's system dtf not agree
with the history of the case, as to
lead him to say Schenk suffered from
arsenic poisoning.
The court ruled that Attorney
Boyce, counsel for Mrs. Schenk. cannot
put all the doctors and druggists Of
the city on the stand to show she haC
not purchased arsenic in Wheeling.
A motion for dismissal on the
ground that the state had not proved
its case, was refused.
Counsel charged that the prose
tor had used $4,000 in preparing
his case. Under the state law he il
not allowed money for the prepare
ton of criminal case.

the French stormed the place and
forced their way through the walls.
Then followed a week of most des-
perate fighting, carried on in the
streets and from house to house; and
the French troops, brave as they were
and admirably led and equipped. were
forced to retreat and raise the siege.
Palafox and his men at once began
making preparations for the second
siege which they knew would come.
On December 20 a French army OF
10000 picked soldiers under Marshals
Money and Mortier encamped before

prosecution of the siege. Finally the
French were successful at all points
and the city wall for one-third it's

IS grand assault was made by the
besiegers. The city was on fire In a
dozen places and the dead lay un-
buried in the streets. But the Span
iards were unyielding.
The hopelessness OF the struggle
had now, however, become apparent
to the Spaniards and the city was sur
rendered. The garrison. reduced to

From the beginning to the end Of the
