Whiit the crowd that yesterday be
sieged the Ohio county courthouse
after tn? luncheon recess of the
Schenk trial almost staggered the
court oSclala and attaches, this
morning there was but little falling
off In attendance of the sensation
seeker and the morbidly carious.
The scenes yesterday morning and
again in the afternoon when the wo
men had to be tfea ten back by the po
lice, /the stampede In which ope wo
man was so badly hurt that sae had
to De taken t# a hospital, and the
noisy demonstrations in the court
room when certain bits of testimony
were heard astounded and shocked
Judge L. 8. Jordan, who insists that

His admonition to- the, spectators
ye*U,i:2?r that it would be more be
coming in them to stay at home add
appease their curiosity by reading
the reports in the newspapers, was
rfbt t#keu seriously apparently, for
the crowd that assembled about the
courthouse doors this morning out
numbered that o( yesterday.
As early as 5 o'clock, rour hours*
before the doors were thrown open,
there was a knot of the Curious as-;
sembled and with each passing min
ute it grew until there was fully 2,-j
BOO persons with whom the police,
struggled pleaded and pulled and.
hauled. Many of them, disappoint-,
ed in gsinlng admission to the court- j
house, brought lunches in baskets,
boxes and in paper packages. As thej
crowd grew the police guard was In
creased and today there are double'
the patrolmen on duty at the court- 1
house. % jj i
Dr. Prank Le Moyne Hupp, on the ,
stand when' court closed yesterday, ?
was again called by Prosecutor Hand- .
Ian when the trial was resumed. ;
. Prosecutor Handlan elicited llttlft !
from Dr. Hupp on direct examination j
but Mr. O'Brien, for the defense, j
kept the doctor busy answering ques !
tiona. The doctor admitted that the
symptoms which he had declared
wer tbdse of lead poisoning Might
have been from soma other eane,
aad at first he helled that Schenk
was suffering from the bite of a mos
quito Schenk was Confined to hip
j bed for three days. He also said lira
Schenk was the ft ret to call a name.
The morning sees Ion closed with
Dr. Hupp sty on the stand.
There was a pathetlo Incident la
connection with the case todfcy whan
the Schenk children. Vlrglna, aged
1 1 and Rob. 7, discovered the win
dow' !? their mother's cell In the
Wheeling Jail.. They were at the
courthouse with their "father and
while he was in one of the offices
they climbed out of the automobile
and hastened to the tower.
"Throw klBses, Bob, It's mammal's
window." said the little girt, as the
window in the tower was raised a
little, and waving their hands and
shouting in glee the little onee fairly
bombared the jail with tokens of af
fection. ' ' ?r *
Chicago, January ll. ? A dynamite
bomb waa found early In the veetl
jbule of the home of County Judge
John E. Owens. reeeatly elected on
the democratic tloiMt. It was about
Mtoen Inches long* and an inch in dl
Hpeter, lead covered, and its fuse ap
peared to have been fired, but to hare,
burned out.
Judge Owens himself discovered
the bomb as he waa about to leave
the house for his office. It Waa be
side the wall of his library. where he
was accustomed to spend part Of his
evenings. .
"I thought first It was ?om.jBrtcrf
a joke, ' said the judge today, '"then
1 when I saw that the fuse evidently
had been lighted, I thought that 1
had better turn it over to the police,
which I did. I can't imagine what
would prompt snyoae to blqw np
my houiie, and I am thinking later
'it will be found to have 5K. ??
Joke."
' When the lead casing of the bomb
had been cut into by the poHee it
waa seen to contain a coarse, reddish
powder which hsd become wet. It
waa believed by the poltte to be high
