THAT EXPERT CHEMISTS MAY
TWIST EVIDENCE.

Kansas City, April ia vigorous
attack on expert testimony severe
criticism OF the methods used by the
prosecution in gathering evidence, and
a general denial Of every charge made
by the state against Dr. b. G. Hyde
marked the opening statement OF
Frank P. Walsh. chief counsel for the
defense i'm the Swope murder trial here
today
Referring to the states chemists as
''hired men" the attorney repeatedly
warned the jury that it was likely to
be tricked by the testimony of medical
experts, Walsh covertly charged that
the reports Of the chemists were al
tered at times to suit the convenience
of their employers and insisted that
the state had unfairly denied DIR Hyde
the right of having the viscera of Col
Thomas Swope so that physician
might have them examined for poison.
Mrs. Logan o. Swope was assailed
as the cause OF Hyde's trouble The
belief that Hyde had influenced his
wife in the money matter which Mrs.
Hyde decided adversely. to the desires
OF Mrs. Swope caused first trouble over
Colonel Swope's win and precipitated
