in his last hours and the death of
Colonel Swope followed the admins
tration OF a capsule by a nurse, who
later went 10 look for the box from
which DIR. Hyde had taken the cap
sule and could not find IT. Follow
ing this eight members OF the Swope
household were stricken with typhoid
fever. Colonel Swope's body was
placed in the family vault but. at the
request OF the executor of the estate.
the vital organs were removed and
sent to Chicago. where they were ex-
amined by noted scientists. They
reported that strychnine was In evil
dence in great quantities in the
stomach and liver. The coroner's
Jury then held Or. Hyde responsible
for Colonel swope's death and later
the grand jury returned indictments
against him. not only with the death

as well as the poisoning by disease

tilted Mrs. Logan Swope. sisteT-in-
law of Colonel Swope. appeared eight
times and related In every detail the
death OF her brother-in-law. She told
OF DR.. Hyde's visit TO the house. of
Colonel Hunton's death. of Colonel
Swope's death a few days later and
OF her son, Chrisman's death. Then
she related the story of the typhoid
which attacked every member OF the
household. The defense sought to
bring In Charles Hatred Jordan. a
Chilean "yarb doctor" into the case.
but this move was considered so far
from bearing on the actual charge
that he was not called before the
grand jury. II is admitted that he
waited on the Swope family. but his
prescriptions we're said to have been
harmless
A curious feature OF the case is
that the Swope millions are being
used both to prosecute and defend
the charges against DR.. Hyde. The
executors and heirs OF the Swope es-
tate are supplying money to aid the
prosecution. while Mrs. Hyde has
mortgaged her inheritance to fight
for the liberty of her husband.

According to r. L. Westbrook, who
owns the mieral wells near the scene
of the murder. parties, supposedly
tramps, have been camping in the
woods for several months. He had
noticed a bonfire several times at
night and the men we're supposed to
have remained in a little one-room
house on the Biederman place. No
fire was seen last night.
Last night Patrolman Eich and
Vick found a pair of blood stained
trousers hanging from a limb of a
tree q short distance from the scene
of the murder. They were brown

The case has become more and
more involved since Colonel Swope' s
death, a suit for SANDER against At

tate, being one OF the phases. On
this account II has gained wide pub

for the murder OF Col. Thomas II.

of Kansas City. who presented to the
city before his death one OF the most

lowing the deaths Of Colonel Swope,
his nephew. Chrisman Swope. and
cousin. James Moss Hunton, as well
as the malady OF typhoid fever that
swept the Swope household and for
time threatened to exterminate
the family. II is alleged that Col
onel Swope came TO his death direct
~ as the result OF a strychnlne cap
sule prescribed by Or. Hyde. AZ the
same time u Is alleged by the state
that he placed typhoid fever germs
In the food prepared for the family

As a motive for these deeds the
state claims that DR.. Hyde desired 10
