Mr. Handlan again took the wit

"Did 'John O. Schenck ever have

"Not that I could see," replied the'

The witness said that the amount,

Dr. Gregory Ackerman was .then
recalled to the stand.

was asked.
"Yes."
'""Ttfhy did you Instruct Mr. Schenck

"I reasoned that lead poison could
only coine from his home."
Dr. Ackerman declared he was in
favor of 8chenek*s removal to a hos
