It was only a few days sgo thst the Iemocrat who could see nothing but Harmon and wondered why the sight of their brethren wa so poor, finally sgreed that to make tho Ohloan the chief figure jf the festivities possibly might be In bad taste, considering; that the affair has Seen advertised as a feaat of love and rejoicing at which no Jealousies are to be allowed places at the board. Harmon, however, la to he prwnt. and even now lucre is a chance that he will be askrd to make the chief apeer-h of tho evening. Most of tlie Washington Demo crats hope that any tmeran-e from Harmon will be merely Incidental and that no more prominence will be given to It than to tho words of men who have not beard the bee bussing. Cooventloo Methods Feared. There aro only three days left In which to take Into the ckaset for lecturing pur poses several scores of Democrats who. It Is known, are of a mind to attempt to "stampede the meeting" for Harmon. The fear Is sharp that methods known to conventional will be attempted, and while Democrats as Democrats do not care how much yelling there Is. they do not want to have tho yelling "pointed" to tho dls comflture of Champ Clark, near at hand.

When Miss Evans (nurse in the Schenk case) calls up from the hospital and tells me that my husband Is worse I am the happiest person In the world. I feel at times that I could kill that man." "Why don't your I asked. She turned around and said: " 'Would you do it for me?' " $1000 Offered to Poison Schenk. " That's another thing,' I told her. " "What will you take to give him the pill? she asked. " M will take $5000 I replied. I need money awful bad. I have a mother and child to keep." "'Good Lord!' replied Mrs. Schenk, 'I have not $5000, but I will give you $1000 if you will make It that.' "1 told her that this was a very risky business for that small amount, but I finally agreed, if she would gld me a paper In writing showing- tit at she was to pay me the money as soon as she came into her widow's rights. "Mrs. Schenk promised to give me the money, but objected to giving me any written promise. She also said she would get the 'stuff and would bring it to the hospital the next morn ing. She said I could easily put the poison in his medicine, place it be side his bed and he would take it himself. Happy If Schenk Were Dead. '"How could you stand anything like thatr I asked her. "You would know that you and I killed him.' " 'I will never be happy until that man is dead,' she said. If he dies I ill wear a double veil so they can't see me laughing behind It.' "We argreed on the plan. Mrs. Schenk did not come to the hospital the next morning, which was Novem ber 2, at the time she said she would. I called her up and asked her why she did not bring the 'stuff.' She said she did not care to talk about it over the phone and that she would be up later. "When she came I asked her why she had not brought the pill. She said she was afraid to." Poisoning Scheme Dropped. The plan to poison Schenk, the wit ness said, was then dropped by Mrs. Schenk, whom she did not see for some time. The next time they ook an automobile ride together, Miss Zooeck ler testified, she tried to learn from Mrs. Schenk if she had not already ad ministered the arsenic, but she only tossed her head and said "pouf."
