Job a O. 8c h ?nek, a rich packer, show
e<^. In court -today that the strain of
the tviai haa begun to ahow on her.
As she ami led, her lipa quivered.
However, she defiantly swept the
room with her eyjss and still carried
her law books and notebook. '
Mrs. Schenek's first signs of weak
ening fallowed a remorseless attack
which Prosecuting Attorney, Handian
is making upon ker. building up
without compassion what lawyers lq
the court room have termed an al
most impregnable case.
The possibility that Nurse Juliette
Kline, the detective-nurse, woula
give startling and sensational evi
dence brought out an army of men
and women, who fought about the
Ohio county court house, seeking ad
miaalon to Judge Jordan'a court.
The flrat witness of the day, call
ed by the prosecution, was Dr. W. O.
Burdats, a dentist, who waa called to
teatify that the black lines found on
Schenck's gums and declared by Dr.
F. L. Hupp to be the result of ar
senic pofeonlnR, could not have re
sulted from defective teeth. "
Before Dr. Burdats took the stand
it began to look aa though the trial
would be -delayed through the non
her lawyersVand it was *
the court tbit the
arrival wu due to^n 1l
jference which had been I
Silunrk'a evil.

Schenck and her lawyers. Prat
