SWOPES KILLED BY POISON
Experts Who Examined Stomachs
Find Traces of Strychnine.

Colonel Thomas H Swope, multi
millionaire, and Christian Swope, his
nephew, died from strychnine poison
ing. This information was contained
in a telegram received in Kansas
City by John Paxton, an attorney
for the Swope heirs. Mr.. Paxton left
today for Chicago to return immedl-
ately with the official report of the
Psychologists who for the past ten
days have been making an analysis OF
the organs of the two men. Arrests
are expected soon.
Prosecuting Attorney Conkling
stated that he expected to have the
official report and other evidence
gathered by the attorneys in his hands
within forty-eight hours. Until these
documents are in my Office and drawn
up in legal FORM" said the prosecutor,
there will be no arrests unless the
suspected person attempts to leave
the city, in which case he would be
arrested no matter what the hour

weeks ago that deliberate plot ex-
listed to extreminate the entire Swope
family.
Colonel Swope, whose fortune is
variously estimated at from 100000
to $6,000,000, died in commissions. His
nephew died under similar circum-
stances. Shortly afterward eight mem
bers of the Swope family were strick-

startling statement that a person who
would benefit by the death of the
members of the Swope family had pur
chased typhoid baccilli from a Kansas
City toxcologist The baccilli, it is
alleged, was placed in the Swope

Ford, charged with attempting to
blackmail G. l.. Warmer, the con-

was the star witness, having been

He appeared on the stand wearing
a black derby hat and overcoat which
concealed his convict garb, but the
court ordered him to remove the coat
at request of Mrs. Ford's counsel.

feeling the fact that in seven years

money and stated that he had given
Mrs. Ford $4,000 a year for the past
seve nyears; furnished $1,000 to send
her son to school; $4,000 to have an

Cowles, a brother of Rear Admiral

COMET is READY TO SPLIT
Signs of Breaking Up Seen by West
ern Astronomer.

According J. E. Gould, head of the
department of astronomy at the Uni
versity of Washington, Comet A
1870" which is visible in the western
sky just after sunset, shows signs of
splitting in two.
Il notice peculiar feature of the
comets TAIL said the professor. 1T
usually are. This is to be attributed
to certain electrical disturbances
which have been noted in comets just
before they split in two. AS a comet
approaches the sun, its body is sub
jected to greater and greater strain,
and if it breaks apart it should do so
in few days."
