Mr. Schenck was born ,in Fulton, N. Y., in 1835. During the civil war he was clerk in the central guard house in Washington, and knew Presi- | dent Lincoln intimately. In 1852 he| started manufacturing castors < Haven, but after five years' s against great odds his plant wa. stroyed by fire. He came to Meriden and in 1891 founded the M. B.

His business has been very successful and the product | has sold all over the world. | Mr. Schenck was a public_spirited | man and served the town and city In vaorious capacities.

Mrs. Vermilya Is Recovering OF ALLEGED POISONER MAY BE SAVED. LIFE POLICE AT HER BEDSIDE Every Precaution Taken to Guard Against a Repetition of Suicide At- tempt—Guards Dare Not Eat Meals in Her House. Chicago, Nov. 5. —Mrs. Louise Ver- milya, accused of the murder by peison of Policeman Arthur Bissonette and under investigation concerning the successive deaths of eight other per- sons, was pronounced today as proba- bly recovering from her attempt to end life by poison yesterday. Everything she Touches Inspected. Energetic methods to counteract the effects of arsenic which Mrs. Vermil- va contrived to mingle with her food by the use of an innocent looking pep- per shaker in the presence of her guards will probably be successful, her physicians say. Since the attempt at suicide Mrs. Vermilya has not been out of sight of one or more guards, and every article she touches is first examined either by a detective or a trained nurse. In Fair Phys'fal Condition. Though in a condition bordering on nervous collapse, the accused woman ‘was pronounced in fair physical condi- tion te night. Mindful, however, of the frequent relapses of her alleged victim, Bissonette, ending in the man's death, Dr. Van Arsdale, wl is in charge of the case and who also at- tended Bissonette,refused tho say posi- tively that she would recove Is Resourceful and Cunning. “The woman apparently will recov- er,” he sald. “unless she has access to other supplies of arsenic or other poi- son. She is resourceful and cunning enough to evade her watchers and drug herself again. That she should keep a deadly drug among her kitchen supplies, where it would it be sus- pected, is a measure of her capacity to deceive. Nothing would induce me to eat anything in that house. “Arsenic being a mineral salt, how. ever, is so persistent and so difficult to eliminate frcm the system that the woman may yet succumb to the amount she has taken.” Never Fres from Scrutiny. A guard of detectives and uniform. ed police, with a police matron and everal trained nurses, are watching over Mrs. Vermilya, and night or day she is never free from the scrutiny of at least one pair of eyes. The wom- an's bed and bedclothes, her sleeping garments, her hair and everything else about her that could conceal poison have been examined. The police arc aroused and determined that the wom- an shall stand trial on the charge of murdering their comrade. Her Watchers Eat at Restaurant. Since learning that they had been seasoning their food with pepper from a tin can which stood beside a sim- flar can filled with enough poison to cause the deaths of a hundred men, the police guards and matrons have had food prepared on the Vermilya premises, The meals of the watchers are cooked at a nearby resaurant in the presence of a policeman and brought in by a waiter under guard. Denies Attempting Suicide. During a lucid moment in the delir- fum after taking the poison, Mrs, Ver- milya denied she attempted to end her life. The poison in the tin box was an insect powder she said. She de- clared that the nurses gave her the wrong shaker. The woman's condition Temains critical tonight. YOUTH OF 21 Now HELD FOR MURDER. North Swan: by Police as Accidental. Fall River, Mass.,, Nov. 5.—Charged with the murder of a boy friend, Lester C. Chace, aged 21, of North Swansea, was arrested by State Officer A. B. Hodges today.
