Sclienk Cn.se Gets Setback.
WHEELING, Jan. 23. Two heavy
blows were dealt to the defense of
Mrs. Schenk today by Judge Jordan,
who, on motion of attorney for the
state, ruled out the testimony of two
of the Important witnesses, who gave
evidence to show that the Shenk fam
ily conspired for the downfall of the
millionaire's wife, who was disliked
by them. After the court made the
ruling the state rested in Its case at
10:12 o'clock this morning. Argu
ments were resumed this afternoon.
Officials of the state are now diligent
ly seeking for the Rev. George Way,
for whom they have a warrant for
arrest, believing- that he may have
been implicated In Schenk's death.
It now appears that Way, who was a
Spiritualist pastor, predicted the
death of the wealthy pork packer.
The pastor is said to have fled from
the state.
ROBBERS AT YOXCALLA.
Two Business Houses Wore Entered
Saturday Evening.
(Special to Evening News.)
YONCALLA. Jan 23. Petty rob
beries are becoming rather numerous
here of lnte as the confectionery
store of David Alexander was enter
ed some time during Saturday night
and a quantity of tobacco, etc., taken.
This is the second time during the
present month this place has been
burglarized, tobacco being the main
article taken.
Some party or parties also entered
the rear part of Huntington's Drug
store last Saturday night by break
ing In the rear door and then open
ing the door by removing the prop,
which held the door clnsed. In order
to gain admission to the main store
It was necessary to force a second
door, this evidently baffled the
would-be burglar, as he left without
accomplishing his purpose. Mr.
Huntington reports nothing missing.
From indications both jobs were pull
ed off by local talent. Conditions ar.
rapidly demanding a night watch, a
law abiding people don't care to
have their houses ransacked merely
to gratify some worthless scoundiei
who figures on preying upon an un
suspecting public for his living.
