ARGUMENT ON MOTION FOR a RE-
HEARING OF MURDER CASE
SET FOR JUNE &.
EVIDENCE WAS IMPROPER
Prisoners PIeadIngs AIleee Long List
Of Errors During the Trial. Be
sides Prejudice on the Part Of
the Presiding Judge.

Kansas City, Mo.-Argumen on the
motion for a new trial in the case OF
DR.. B. Clark Hyde has been set for
Saturday, June 4. The motion was
filed by counsel for the convicted ply
stefan.
Improper conduct on the part Of
Judge Ralph s. Latshaw and attor-
neys prosecuting DR.. Hyde is among
the allegations of error that were
agreed upon by attorneys representing
DR.. Hyde.
The allegation of error most largely
depended upon by the attorneys for
the defense will be that the court 81
lowed evidence outside the direct
charge that DR.. Hyde killed Thomas
H. Swope, in that the prosecution wal
allowed to inject testimony regarding
the illness and deaths of other menu
bers of the Swope family and other
matters Of that kind. Every bit of
testimony is given in the motion in
detail
Shows improper Evidence.
Among the evidence objected to is
that DR.. Hyde used typhoid germs, the
trip from New York with Lucy Lee
Swope, the finding of the cyanide cap
sules by Thomas Swope and John G.,
Paxton, the death of Moss Hunton and
the conversation between Pearl Kellar
and DR.. Hyde concerning the latter's
appointment as administrator, follow
ing the death of Hunton.
Another allegation of error is that
James A. Reed, a special prosecutor,
was allowed to make the opening
statement for the state and that the
court allowed him to detail the mat
tiers termed by the defense's attor-
neys as extraneous to the charge Of
killing Thomas H. Swope.
The court is alleged to have been
in error in refusing to command the
production of the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Paxton, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Virgil Conkling, and Dr. Walker
S. Haines, DIR. Ludwig Hektoen and
DIR. Victor C. Vaughan, the three ex-
pert witnesses for the state.
1t is also charged that the court
showed prejudice against the defend
ant during the trial, and that he main
tanned this in the presence of the jury
by his demeanor and attitude; and this
prejudiced the cause of the defendant
in the eyes Of the jury; that the court
added to this by forcing DR.. Hyde to
go to Jail after surTendering his bond,
and by impatience. 1t is alleged that
the court also refused to admit evil
dence that was competent and admit
ted evidence that was not competent.
