When Mr#. Laura Karnrwo. ?.!? Betook
'entered the court room thla morning
she had recovered from the iud! i<o .
sitlon which caused the early ad
journment yesterday and appeared as
bright as ~evor after a refreshing
sleep. Aftor a conference between
Prosecutor 'rfandlan and Judge Jor
dan, the prosecutor bald he hoped
to close *hls ca?e this afternoon in
which event the defense will "ask for
.an early adjournment so that ft may
open. Its sWe tomorrow morning.
Theodoro Pink was the first wit
ngps of the day and wis called for
the purpose, of locating the;8chen< k
refllde%fl|B on the Island.
CMbfreur^Lundy Wilson, recalled,
testified to the alleged* visit to the
residence of Dr. Myers. He ssid he
was ordered by -Mrs. 8chencV to stop
the car at a bend In the road from
which point he could not see the My
ers home. ,
"Why did you not Inform Mr. j
Schenck as to what was going on?"
"It was no business of mine."
Alma Evans, the nurse, testified'
that while she was In the Schenck I
home nursing Schenck he had fre-!
quent crying fits. ,
"Did Mrs. Schenck talk to you con
cerning her gentlemen friends?"
"Yes. One day I was In the parlor
with her when she showed me a flow
er basket and told me she appreciat
ed It highly. been given her
with violets, she said, by a special g?n
tleman friend qf her s."
'' "Miss Evans did you ever pur ar
senic into water used by John O.
Schenck?"
"No, air." .
"Did you ever put lead lr. his med
icine?"
"fio, sir."
"Did Mrs. Schenck narrate Improp
er stories as to herself and other
1f0Bf" " ?*
"8he did."
But the witness, refused to tell
them to the Jury.
When cross examined the witness
denied she knew Mr. ahd Mrs. John
Mason at the hospital, nor could she
remember whether Schenck wan per
mitted to drink beer while there.
She aald she never saw the detective
^nurse drink. *
The witness wa% permitted to
leave the stand and the prosecutor
announced he had completed his case
,wlth the exception of the cr^ss-exam
Inatlon of Dr. Best and Dr. Baer.
A recess was here taken while the
doctors were being summoned.
J. J. H. O'Brien, chief counsel for
Mrs. Schenck had not decided how
many witnesses he will call. He, how
ever, said that In the event of hav
ing to call witnesses be would sum
mon every druggist snd physician In
and about Wheeling Uv^how wheth
er they had ever sold jCfrs. Schenck
poison of say kind.
This line of testimony Is said to be
for* the purpose of discrediting the
statement of Dr. J. W. Myers who said
on the stand that Mrs. Schenck tnid
him she ftad purchased poison from
other phystelans. The defense- will
first ask the court to dismiss Mk, .?we
on the ground thst the court haa fail
ed to make a esse, sccording to one
of the*attorneys, snd this motion will
be msde before offering sny testi
mony.

Mr. Jones was a carpenter by trade

number of years. He was strong In

friend he always rallied to him In
sunshine and shawow.
He followed the cause of the Con

dier was as brave as the bravest. The
funeral will be cpnducted from the
residence tWa afternoon by Rev. D.
