PROSECUTOR MADE HARD ATTACK

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 24.-The
case of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth
Schenk, charged with poisoning her
husband, is expected to go to the jury
this evening.
During the arguments today Mrs.
Schenk broke down and sobbed open
ly. Assistant Prosecutor Maury had
completed his address, which was
filled with invective and hard words
and Attorney Frank O'Brien was
opening for the defense when his al
lusion to "This poor defenceless wo-
man" overcame Mrs. Schenk and she
wept bitterly.
O'Brien's statement indicated that
the line of action of the defense
would be plea of sympathy for Mrs
Schenk, a fierce attack upon the state
witness and the unreliability of cir
cumstantial edidence.
J. j. P. O'Brien, defense's chief coun
sci, declared that the defense admit
ted there was lead poison in the medi
cine John Schenk took and in the
water he drank, but that Laura
Schenk never put them there. It was
done to cast suspicion on the wife

MIx-UP RESULT OF THE BOND
souA5RLE AND TREAsUR-
ER's ACTION.
MUTUAL FRIENDS TAKE A HAND
Governor Called Treasurer's Hand BY
ignoring "Notes" Sent by
Latter.
MUTUAL FRIENDS TAKE A HAND

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 24.-Only the
Intervention of mutual friends, 1t is
said, prevented a personal difficulty
between Governor E. F, Noel and
State Treasurer George e. Edwards.
Monday afternoon. The trouble grew
out of the controversy over the re-
cent sale of state bonds, in which the
Governor questioned the veracity of
the state treasurer.
The statement in which Governor
Noel reflected on the truth of a state
ment made by the state treasurer
came out in Sundays papers. Mr..
Edwards. in a communication to the
press on the subject sought
to prove that he had warned the
Governor he would not pay the ac-
crued interest on the bonds, by quot
ing from letter he said he sent the
Governor, Sept. IA.
This letter, If it had been received
by the Governor, would have notified
him that the state treasurer would not
pay the accrued interest. The Gov
ernor, his private secretary, W. J.
Buck, and the Governors stenograph-
er, Miss Mollie Hoskins, all declare
no such letter was received at the
executive offices, and the Governor
characterized the Treasurer's state
ment as an "untruth."
During Sunday it seems, Governor
Noel was informed that Mr.. Edwards
had remarked that he was going to the
executive offices Monday and ''have 1t
OUT with the Governor But instead
of going to him, Mr.. Edwards called
the Governor over the telephone and
demanded retraction, which the Gov
ernor refused, saying:
Il don't want any personal communl-
cation from you and regret there has
ever been any. If you have anything
to say, please say it in letter." With
that the Governor hung up the phone.
Mr.. Edwards then wrote a note
to the Governor, again demanding a
retraction. Governor Noel received
the note just about / o'clock, but gave
it no answer. 1t is said, however,
that he armed himself, and waited re-
suits. Reaching the mansion, the
Governor was waited on by former
Attorney General J. B. Stirling, now
president Of the First National Bank,
and Attorney General S. S. Hudson.
The Governor refused to even ac-
knowledge receipt of the note, or to
make any statement, retraction or ex-
PLANTATION. He stood pat. E. A Fitz-
gerald, of Vicksburg, friend of Mr..
Edwards, called at the mansion and
had a conference with General Stirling
and Governor Noel. They went out to-
gether just before 8 o'clock, going di-
rect to the Capitol.
Governor Noel, adhered to his first
decision to ignore Mr.. Edwards note,
but General Stirling and General Hud-
son signed a card, which stated that
they, as mutual friends, withdrew the
word ''untruth." to which Mr.. Ed
wards took exception. slzssassI
This has, apparently, ended e. =
ter, but it has developed one ID
that Governor Noel, though -
loving man, will not be bullied.

MI Mercer is stopping at Hatties-

an interesting manner on the subject
Of aviation.
The aviation means emulation of

startling suddenness that it will take
time to thoroughly convince us that
the vast trackless empyrean of space

chanical genius of man and made to
yield a navagable roadway to be jour

in aeronautics has been fraught with

paling, yet, compared with the ratio
Of men engaged in this sensational
8ayiation. the percentage is small as
compared with other time annihilat-

'It is q significant fact" continued
Mr. Mercer, that nearly all the vic
tins of recent fatalities are men who
have never had a close call or mar
row escape from death. They lost
