or carriage. and it is safe to say that
the invitations are seldom declined,
for his vehicles are the best to be
had. and the drives around Tarrytown
are beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting for
a ride, always dons paper vest, de-
claring it to be a great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride he
refuses to take back the garment and
consequently in nearly every home in
Tarrytown may be found a paper vest
preserved as a souvenir of delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.

The return OF the verdict was
marked by an absence of dramatic
features Mrs. Hyde cried little
when she heard the verdict In the
court room. DR.. Hyde did not change
his usual stoical expression. Mrs.
Logan o. Swope was unnerved when.
at her home in Independence. she
heard the outcome.
MY home is still open to my
daughter" she said Il feel sorry for
her"
But Mrs. Hyde is not going back to
husband, and confidently believes the
supreme court will free him.
DR.. B. Clark Hyde has been under
suspicion in connection with the mys-
terious deaths and illness In the
6wope family ever since the death Of
Col. Thomas II. Swope in October,
1909. The death of Colonel Swope
followed soon after he had had Sc.

Hyde had purchased cyanide OF po-
tassium in five-grain capsules, and he
was prosecuted ON the belief that he
gave one of these capsules to Colonel
