lips, a music store clerk, whose name
has frequently been mentioned in
connection with ~the case, was the
principal state witness. Phillips tes-
tilted that he knew Mrs. Schenk init
mately and that he bad frequently
taken automobile rides with her at
night. Three times When questions
were asked by States Attorney Hand
Ian bearing on whether or not he
had had criminally intimate relations
with Mrs. Schenk. he declined to an
swer, standing upon HIS constitution
al rights to refuse TO answer any
questions that would incriminate
himself.
Phillips acquaintance with Mrs
Schenk began when she called at the
store where he was employed to buy
a musical instrument. Phillips said
she came back to the store frequent
ly to talk to him, and finally invited
him to go automobillng. Her visits,
he said, became so embarrassing that
he finally requested her not to come
to the store again and then he ar
ranged to meet her at designated
places outside.
He said: Frequently Mrs. Schenk
spoke to me about her husband; and
| remember that several times she
said she didn't think he would live
very long. SO far as | know, Mr..
Schenk never knew that | took rides
with his wife"
Other witnesses Included DR.. o.
w. Burdatts, Mrs Schenk's dentist;
Herbert o. Baer, a druggist; Profes-
sor j. w. Mallet. chemist Of the. Uni
versity OF Virginia; Florence Cole
man, colored servant In the Schenk
home. and Drs. f. l.. Hupp and j. f.
Thornton. Much of their testimony
was repetition of what had been
brought out previously and was de-
void OF interest.
Professor Mallet testified that the
water he analyzed he found to con.
tain elght-tenths of a grain of arsenic
to the pint. By the testimony of DR..
Hupp and Professor Mallet II was es-
tablished that the water analyzed by
Professor Mallet was the same that
came from the Schenk home and was
taken from the same bottle from
which Schenk drank.
States Attorney Handlan has
promised a sensation for today. He
said he would probably put on wit.
nesses to prove absolutely that Mrs.
Schenk put acetate OF lead and ar
senic in her husbands medicine and
drink.
That the defense to be put up by
Mrs. Schenk's counsel will be a dou.
BILE one has been clearly Indicated by
Mr.. O'Brien, who declares that his
client is the victim of conspiracy
designed to enable her husband to
get a divorce. He has summoned
witnesses to prove that a streak of
insanity runs through Mrs. Schenks
family.
The woman defendant now appears
more interested In the trial than she
has at any period since 1t began, but
her demeanor is such as indicates
that she fully expects to be acquitted

left this city for Oakland and ex-
ploded dynamite bomb. He was
blown to pieces and six other men in
the room were badly injured. Two
of them will die. one man had his
right arm blown off while another

ously hurt. A great hole was torn in
the side of the steamer near the
water line.
The Berkeley carried about 1000
persons, mostly commuters on the
way home from business In the city.
The explosion. which shook the ves-
sci from stem to stern, caused some.
thing of a panic, which quickly sub
sided when il was found that the ves-
sci was in no danger. That the
steamer was not sunk Is miracle,
as the hole in the side Is very near
the waters edge.
Among the injured are Royal Samp-

service, who lost an arm. and Sen
Hoffschneider, a printer. with both
legs blown off.
