was not sure sne would get a good home if her husband should die.
 T watched every board, every stone, going into our house." Mrs. Schenk told her, the witness testified, "and know it is worth a lot of money"
 She added: ''Fo1lowing our talk, when she offered me a thousand dol lars to poison John, Mrs. Schenk evad- ed me for several days. On the morn ing of her arrest she came to the hospital, and asked me If she could see her husband. told her yes, to go in. Miss Evans ordered her out, as she was just giving Schenk a treat ment.
 "'You can give him the devil, for all I care,' said Mrs. Schenk."
 Both the regular nurse and herself had instructions not to leave wife and husband alone for a moment, an at- tempt on his life being feared.
 Line the Defense Will Follow.
 Mir. Boyce then took the witness in charge and his first question revealed the line which the defense would fol- low.
 You were told to break into Mrs. Schenk's confidence by any means. weren't you?'
 'Those were my instructions" she answered.
 Again he asked: Isn't it a fact that every statement you have made relative to Mrs. Schenk offering you S1,O00 to poison her husband is tis- sue of lies, manufactured out of whole cloth by yourself?'
 Everything I have told is true"
 Isn't it fact that only mention of the s1.0O0 was made when you told Mrs. Schenk that Albert Schenk, Johns brother. had offered Miss Ev- ans that amount to take Johns keys to his safe deposit box and turn them over to Albert, and you said that 1t ought to be worth that amount to you if you got them for Mrs Schenk ?"
 That is not true. No such conver- sation took place."
 Right to Recall Miss Zoeckier Re-
 served.
 Later Mir. Boyce attacked the char acter of the witness. She denied, however, that she had been coached during intermissions by Prosecutor Handlan or anyone else:' that she had been out in Schenks automobiles; or had talked about the case in any way.
 When Attorney Boyce announced at five o'clock that he was through with the witness, MT. Handlan stated that he would reserve the right to recall Miss Zoeckler to the stand and would prove her good character before the trial is ended.
