LETTERS TO PAXTON
Clash Over Dr.. Ludwig HEX

NEW PHASE OF SWOPE CASE
Preliminary Hearing of DR.. Hyde,
Charged With Murder, Postponed
Until Next Thursday.
NEW PHASE OF SWOPE CASE

KANSAS CITY, February 11.-Many le-
gal clashes seemed imminent when the
attorneys interested in the SwOpe mys-
terry resumed their activities today. The
principal contest took place before Judge
Walter A. Powell in the circuit court at
Independence. Mo-, where the question
of whether John G. Paxton, executor of
the Swope estate, must make public let
tiers and other communications he has
received from Dr. Ludwig Hektoen of
Chicago was argued. These letters per-
tain to the scientists examination of the
organs of Col. Swope and Chrisman Swope,
and are supposed to have contained in
formation upon which Mr.. Paxton based
his formal charge of murder against DR..
b. c. Hyde. The attorneys on both sides
had prepared exhaustive arguments on
the motion filed by Frank p. Walsh at
tOrney for Hyde, to compel Paxton to in
clude the communication from Hektoen
in his deposition in the suit for alleged
SANDER brought by Hyde. Mr.. Paxton
answered the motion with the allegation
that the letters were sent to him as the
attorney for the Swope estate, and that
they were in possession of Mrs. Lagan 0.
Swope.
In obedience to Judge Powelrs order.
the letters were in court today, and Mrs.
Swope was present to make a statement
as to when they were turned over to her.

Navy Department Opinions.

Tile reason for the abandonment OF the
search was that there could be no hope
for the safety of a small vessel of the
Nina's type which has been out of port
eleven days on cruise which should
have been completed in two or three days
at the outside. The further fact that a
dozen vessels have secured the seas be-
tween Boston and Norfolk without sue
cess has gone to cinfirm this opinion. 1t
is true that some of tife younger naval
officers, who have themselves commanded
just such tugs as the Nina and are en-
thusiastic over their seagoing qualities
under proper management, still privately
cherish the idea that the Nina has been
blown far out to sea: has perhaps fallen
into the gulf stream and may be spoken
by some of the transatlantic liners when
she falls into the great sea lanes which
those vessels follow on their voyages be-
tween Europe and America. But OFF,
cially the department has abandoned all
hopes
In the ordinary course and in the small
hope that some of the crew of the little
vessel may have been picked up by a
tramp or sailing ship. the department
will wait a reasonable time before MAX
ing the formal entry on the records OF
the department of the death of the thir-
ty-two mariners who made up the per-
sonnet of the Nina. From that date
the wives and dependent relatives of the
missing sailors will be entitled to six
months pay under the terms of a recent
act Of Congress. and that will close the
chapter
An inquiry as to whether this disaster
would cause the abandonment of the
use of such tugs as the Nina for ocean
service brought forth an emphatic mega
tive at the department. The type of
vessel has been in service since the civil
war, not only in this coasting service,
but in frequent voyages between the At
lantic points and the West Indies. aud
some of them have even circumnavigated
Sonth America and safely made the voy-
age from New York to San Francisco.
The Nina herself is said to have been
to the West Indies. and certainly has
made many winter cruises along the At
lantic coast in the forty-f1ve years of
her service.

All hope for the naval tug Nina and
her crew of thirty-two men has been
abandoned by the Navy Department and
the diligent search that has been prose-
cuted by all the available vessels along
the Atlantic coast has been discontinued.
statement to that effect was made at
the Navy Department today by Assistant
Secretary Winthrop.
kilograms were sent to the navy yards
at Norfolk. New York, Philadelphia and
Boston directing a discontinuance of the
search patrol and the return of the YES
sells sed in ii to their regular duties.
In response to telegram of inquiry from
the collector of customs at Newport
News. Assistant Secretary Winthrop tele
graphed as follows:
Believe Nina foundered February q
or between Hog Island and Winter
Quarter shoal. Have no definite news
OF her or of any survivors,
Relatives Are Notified.
Upon. Rear Admiral Nicholson. chief of.
the bureau of navigation, devOlved the
sad duty of notifying relatives OF the
officers and crew of the Nina that the,
department believed that the vessel had
foundered at sea during the storm of
February q, and that all on board had
persisted. \ special messenger was del
| tailed to convey the intelligence to the
father and mother of Chief Boatswain
John 5. Croghan, who commanded the
Inflated vessel on its last cruise, at their
home. 1447 w street. His WIFE, whose
home is in Maiden Mass, was notified
by mail. Similar notification was sent
to Mr.. Fowler of 40 10th street south
east, father of Chief Boatswains Mate
&. T.. Fowler, second in command of the
Nina
The next of kin of all the other mem
bers of the crew were notified by mail of
the departments belief that they had
gone down at sea with the Nina. Among
these are Mrs. Maggie N. Crockett Of
Hillsville, Va, mother of F. b. Crockett.
fireman. first class, and Miss Mamie Pitts,
SO suffolk street, Norfolk, sister of +.
Pitts, fireman, first class.
As result Of the efforts Of the depart
ment to locate the Nina and rescue her
crew the conclusion is reached by naval
officials that the vessel was wrecked
some time between noon February q,
when the Nina was last known to have
been seen, and some time Monday morn
ing, when the seas fury abated. The To-
cation is supposed to have been between
the point off Hog Island light where the
Nina was sighted by the Merchants and
Miners steamer Howard and Winter
Quarter shoal. According to this the
hours after clearing the Virginia capes.
as Hog Island light Is off the Virginia
coast. Winter Quarter shOal, off the Del
aware coast but short distance above
the Maryland Atlantic shore line, is be-
lieved to be about the farthest north the
Nina could have gone. based on the sup
position that she foundered during the
height of the storm rather than after the
sea became less turbulent Monday morn
ing.
