Its case at 3:30 this afternoon, >and
Mr*. Schenck is attorneys played their
strangest card In ^he effort- {o estab
llsh the allegation that a conspiracy]
had been formed by .member* of the
Scheaclr family to set rid of John O.

This came whan Mrs. Jano Hedges

estate, whlcb Albert Schenck headed
a syndicate to buyr testified that
John's brother had said to her:
"John has bought his wife a $6.
0?0 automobile. Be very time she goes
but In ft I have hopes that she will
break her neck. 1 will leave no stone
unturned to rid us of that woman."
Thto most gruelling cro*r-exam (na
tion to which Mr. Handlan has "* yet
subjectd any witness, failed to chang*
the testimony of Mrs. Hedges. The

had triad to boy arsenic from him.
Dr. S. L. Jepson editor of the West
Virginia Medical Journal, who exam
ined the millionaire packer for the!
defense, was called. At that time be;
found nothing to indicate poisoning,
