Mr.. Walsh wanted the privilege OF
swearing Mr.. Paxton to examine him

ports, but the court refused to agree
to II.
The court also refused the defense's
application to examine all letters and
reports referring to the Swope case
that had passed between the Chicago
scientists and Mr.. Paxton or Mrs.
Logan o. Swopc, or to have the
visceraes of Thomas II. and Chrisman
Swope for examination.
Judge Latshaw said in deciding this
important point, after listening for
more than an hour to Mr.. Walsh's ar.
gument, that he knew no law that
would authorize him to require one
side to give It's evidence to the other.
Nurse Resumed Her story.
The scattered threads in the nurses
story Of the events that took place in
the Swope household, just prior to and
subsequent to the death of Col. Swope,
were picked up by J. A. Reed in clos.
ing the direct examination OF Miss
Kellar. The symptoms OF the dying
man. the details Of the giving of the
capsule were retold, that each event
might be impressed upon the jury's
mind and that several little details the
nurse omitted in her story might be
introduced into the evidence. The
bleeding Of Moss Hunton by DR.. Hyde,
DR.. Twyman's remonstrance and then
the first fatality In the home were de.
picted by the witness. Miss Kellar ap.
peared tired from the ordeal of the day
before. The witness was then turned
over to the defense and Walsh com.

On the ~lifeless shoulders OF DR..
George r. Twyman the burden of
blame If blame there was in the bleed.

stanching the vital fluid.
That Is what DR.. Hyde says.

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 II. Swope will
tell or the witness stand, because Miss
Pearl Kellar. the only other person
who was a 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 Or. Twyman had held the string,
but, for the matter OF that, she did not
know one had been tied after the in.
