MI. tunlOU,
Kansas City, April 2S.-That Dr.
Hyde tried to inoeulate Miss stelli
swope with typhoid germs by mean
Of Christmas candy was testified tt
by Miss Anna H0ulihan, one OF tn,
nurses who attended Chrisman Swopt
in his last illness.
She said that DR.. Hyde gave Miss
Swope a box Of candy and that aftel
she had eaten several pieces she was
stricken, in the usual time, with ty
phoid fever.
Or. TWyman Responsible.
On the lifeless shoulders of Dr.
George T. Twyman the burden OF
blame II blame there was in the bleed
ing of Col Hunton, will be laid by DR..
B. Clark Hyde. 1t was DR.. Twyman
who held the strihg looped around the
open vein; 1t was he who could have
controlled the flow of blood from Hun,
tons body; 1t was he who was tardy In
stanching the vital fluid.
That is what Dr. Hyde says.
DR.. TWyman cannot answer.
He is dead
The lips that are quiescent In death
are the only ones that could controvert
the story that the man charged with
the murder Of Thomas H. Swope will
tell on the witness stand, because Miss
Pearl Kellar, the only other person
who was close observer at the pro
cess, left no certainty In the minds Of
the Jurors when she stepped down
from the witness stand. She did not
think DR.. Twyman had held the string,
but, for the matter of that, she did not
know one had been tied after the in.
ceslon was made in the arm of Col.
Hunton.
The prosecution Is endeavoring to
connect the passing Of Col. Hunton
with an alleged systematiEed plan for
the determination of the EwOpo family
and has charged that DR.. Hyde bled
the kinsman Of Col. Swope to death for
the purpose Of removing him a. execu
tor of the estate of Swope, anticipating
that SwOps's Affairs would shortly pasa
into the hands of the men named to
carry out the provisions Of his will.
That DR.. Hyde will contend that DR..
TwymAn had It at all times In his pow
er during the bleeding OF Col. Hunton
the stanching Of the flow Of blood, be
came evident whom Albert M. OFT was
clOsely questioned by Frank r. Walsh
chief Of counsel for Dr. Hyde.
Friend Of Hunton TOStlNes.
Mr.. OFT, q close friend Of Col. Hun.
ton, was present at the time, and saw
the tying Of the vein but dlu not know
or not DR.. Twyman could have
stopped the bleeding by merely pull
Ing the ends OF the string together.
Dr.. Hyde says unofi1cially and without
taking the oath, that he could.
Mr.. OFT was sure that DR.. Twyman
had demonstrated with the other ply
Slcian about the quantity OF blood that
vas released. bearing out the state
nent made by Miss Kellar, the nurse
Another contention that DR.. Hyde
will make concerning the death scene
II Moss Hunton, is that the two quarts
II liquid which Miss Ksllar described
Is blood and said had been taken from
Iunton's body was really q mixture Of
Hood and water, Of which three parts
we're water. He will. swear that the
water In which he and DR.. Twymar
washed their hands and the water ir I
which the arm Of Hunton was bathed
,efore the incision was made, wal
implied into the basin in which the !
Wood later flowed, and was measured
y the nurse subsequently.
And DR.. .Twyman win not take the !
tand TO refute him. Z
Only a Pint Of Blood.
According to Hyde there was really {
My about a pint Of blood taken from I
Iunton's body to relieve the apoplec /
lc condition. I
