Has Fitted.

no need to go to Portland or other
points, or to send the money out of

Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. 21.-Predic-
tions that the defense in the trial OF
Mrs Laura Farnsworth Schenk, ac-
cuased OF poisoning her millionaire
husband, John O. Schenk, has "an ace
up It's sleeve" were freely made at the
resumption OF the trial here today
when Attorney ]. P. O'Brien of Mrs.
Schenks counsel. announced that the
defendant would not take the stand.
O'Brien said Mrs Schenk would not
plead insanity, and that Albert
Schenk, brother of the accused wo--
mans husband, would not be called
in an effort to prove that Mrs. Schenk
is the victim of a conspiracy among
the relatives of her husband No
hint was given as to the evidence ex-
petted to be produced on which the
defense hopes for a verdict.
All of last nights session of the
court was devoted to attempting to
impeach the credibility of DR.. Myers.
who testified that he had sold Mrs.
Schenk a quantity of acetate of lead,
with which poison, as we'll as arsenic,
Scbenk is alleged to have been fed.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-01-21

When the first witness was called
today. it developed that the reason
Albert Schenk would not be put on
the stand was that, called by the de-
Tense, 1t would not be possible for
Mrs. Schenk's lawyers to attack the
credibility of their own witness.
That the plea of a conspiracy
against the accused woman will be
relied on, her defense, at least in part
was evident when Mrs. Jane Hedges
was called. She testified that Albert
Schenk had always shown animosity
against his brothers wife and time
and again declared he would leave no
stone unturned TO get her out of the
family.
Mrs. Hedges continued:
ALBERT schenk came to my farm be
tween April and June and said that
his brother John was going abroad
and that he had bought Laura (the
defendant) $4,000 automobile. AL
bert said 4 wish every time she rides
in the machine that she may break

The early dream Of Welch with rela-
ton to this line was to extend It into
eastern oregon but the present com
pany has so far, 1t seems. decided to
confine its operations to the william
cite Valley and viii connect up by
line the various cities contained in
1t which it has now In operation
street railway systems. They are

Falls City Road to Enter City.
Information also comes from inner
railroad circles that it is the pur-
pose of the Salem, Falls City & West
ern Railroad company to build a
bridge across the Willamette river in
the sprtlg and enter the city and
erect a depot. The depot is now sit
uated across the river in a most in
convenient place and 1t is to over
come this drawback that the improve
ment will be made This road has as
sumed policy lately Of reaching out
after traffic and 1t is predicted that
1t will become active in the way OF
Improvements during the summer,
The information with relation to the
building of the bridge and the con-
struction of depot In the city is
said to come from one of the officials
of the company.

produced nothing new the witness
simply sticking to her story of Albert
Schenk's evidences of an intense dis
like for the defendant, but being able
to throw no light on the alleged poi
soning of Schenk.
District Attorney Handlan today de-
clared that the attorneys for the de-
Tense had threatened to call him to
the stand. Handlan declared he was
willing to testify, but warned the de-
fense he would tell all he knew and
said pointedly that the defendant had
made damaging admissions to him
the night she was arrested.
II blundered that night" said
Handlan. Il was so tired and ex-
hausted that | delayed going into de-
tails with Mrs. Schenk, and by the
following morning she had consulted
attorneys and would talk no more"
