RESPITE WAS WELCOMED ES-
PEcIALLY BY TIE ACCUSED
WOMAN.
SHE REMAINS CONF|RENT
GAYS Her Case Will Appear in DIFF
ferent Light as It Progresses
States Attorney is Salts
fled So Far.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 15.-The
days rest came welcomingly to all
concerned in the Schenk trial, e..
pecially to the defendant, Mrs. Laura
Fornswcrth Schenk, who listened in
court to testimony brought out by the
prosecution on the charge that she
had administered poison to her hus-
band. Although the accused went
through the ordeal without being
noticeably affected, except On one or
two occasions, she expressed relief
after the days rest and still main
tanned confidence that her case will
appear in different light as is pro-
crosses.
Attorney Handlan said today that
he was satisfied with the progress the
state has made. "We established" he
said 'that the minerar water which
Mr.. Schenksdrank during his illness
and the medicine whfcn was admins
tered to him contained large quanti-
ties of lead and arsenic. We have
shown that Mrs. Schenk expressed to
a detective nurse and others the wish
that she might bet rid of her husband,
and we expect to show the coming
week that she actually purchased ar
senic and lead acetates."
Attorney J. j. T. O'Brien, chief
counsel fer the defense, said.
"We succeeded in breaking down
The testimony of DR.. Frank L. Hupp,
witness for the state, and
established the fact that he was at.
no time sure of his diagnosis. We also
secured the admission that Schenk
naver was as i'll as had been claimed.
We expect to prove that the wife and
not the husband was the victim-the
victim of a conspiracy on the part OF
relatives of Schenk.'
An effort will also be made to dis.
credit the testimony given by Miss
Zouckler, the detective nurse who
said Mrs. Schenk had offered her
bribe of $1,000 to give Mr.. Schenk a
poisonous pin while ne lay i'll q. the

Numerous Chicago commission men

SENATOR LODGE FORCES
GROWING NERVOUS

Boston, Mass. Jan. 16.-Although
proclaiming to the world that Lodge
will be reelected senator on the first
ballot tomorrow. evidence that his
supporters are nervous was indicated
today by the announcement that Con-
ssaman Gardner would arrive this
af.crnoon to campaign for Lodge.
The steady opposition to Lodge by
Governor Foss is admitted will make
the race of Congressman Butler
James, opposing Lodge, easier.
Much opposition is said to have de-
veloped against Lodge owing to his
stand-pat tendency. The political
promises being used unsparingly in be-
half of Lodge is that mis- defeat, fol-
lowing the retirement of Hale and
Aldrich would mean the practical
passing of New England's strong
standpat powers who have made the
tariff so beneficial to New England.
