The annual losses from 1898 to 1870!
inclusive are given as follows:

The total estinatCd loss TOT the INIT
teen years amounts to S34,lS7,797, or
an average annual fire loss of $2.629.-
$50.
Considering the size OF London the
fire losses appear TO be very small.
and this Is accounted Tor by the fact
that there are practically no frame
buildings in London, that the ware
houses and business promises gcner-
ally are of slow combustion construc-
ton, and that the dwelling houses are
usually built OF stone or brick. with a
minimum amour, Of intammable wood

PLEA OF INSANITY
FOR MRS. SCHENK


= malady that baffiIed the attendant
failed 10 reveal any physical affection
upon which to hang cause for his
illness, though Schenk continued to
rail- until his death was expected hourly.
The family physician, DR. Frank Lee
Aioyne Hupp, exhausted every clue to
the cause of the mans illness, and in
despair asked Miss Evans if she had
noticed anything that might lead to an
explanationfof the strange case. Tho
nursa could think OF nothing, and DR..
HuDp advised the attendance of another
physician in consultation.
While preparations We're being made
for this event little Virginia Scheuk,
his twelve-year-old daughter. drank Il
glass of water used In the sick room,
and Immediately fell Ill.
This circums lance, together with the
mysterious character Of Schenls's i'll
ness, suggested to DR.. Hupp and the
nurse the possibility Of the presence
OF poison in the sick room drinking
water. At the consultation, the visit
ing physician and DR.. Hump each man
aged to secrete a sample of the sus-
pected water. which was sent to Johns
Hopkins University and tho West Vir-
ginia University for analysis. The re-
suit showed In each case, the presence
OF arsenic.
NMrse Acts ms Detective.
Under the plea that the sick man
was on the point OF death another
nurse was introduced into the Schenk
sick room, q Miss Kline, who was
detective. Her observations confirmed
the suspicious of Schenl1's relatives and
physicians, and he was removed to the
North Wheeling Hospital and his wife
placed under arrest.
On November 49, 1910. the special
grand jury indicted Mrs Laura. Farms
worth .Schenk on Il charge OF admins
terins poison to her husband with an
intent to kill. Three witnesses appear
cd before the grand jury, DIR. Frank
LeMoyne Hupp. Miss Evans, who wait.
ed on MT. Schenk before the poisoning
was suspected, and Miss Kline, tho
detcctive-nurse. The doctor and Miss
Evans told OF their unsuccessful search
for the cause of the illness and the dis
covery OF arsenic inthe drinking water;
then Miss Kline was called to the
stand. She testified in part that Mrs
Sohenk had offered her $500 for
pill that would put an end TO, her
husbands life; that Mrs. Schcpk said
she wished her husband was dead and
that She said she would wear double
veil at his funeral so that his rela-
tives would not SEQ her laugh,
Mr.. Sehenk's precarious physical
condition did not permit of his appear
ance at tho grand jury proceedings.
and though he has since recovered his
health sufficiently to leave the hospital,
1t is feared that the ravages of his
long illness will physically incapacltatc
him for tho rest of his life.
The two Schenk children, Virginia
twelve years old. and Robert, aged
seven, ware taken to tho home of re-
lativos. and have been keEt in ignor-
ance OF tho charge hanging over their
mothers head.
