In Wheeling West Virginia the Schenk murder trial resumes after a rest day as defense aims to show Mrs Laura Farnsworth Schenk was the victim of a conspiracy rather than the killer of her wealthy husband John Schenk.

Mrs Schenk remains isolated in the Ohio County jail tower parlor while her lawyers plot strategy and sift through scores of letters sent to her.
