HYDE FOUND GUILTY
KANSAS CITY PHYSICIAN CON.
vIcTED or POISONING MIL.
IIoNAIRE THOMAS sWoPE.
Accused Mans Own Testimony Re-
suited In Verdict by Jury Which
Will Mean Life Imprisonment,
Unless Decision 10 overruled.

Kansas City.-Dr. B. Clark Hyde,
whom jury on Monday found guilty
of numbering Col. Thomas H. Swope,
and sentenced to life Imprisonment,
owes his conviction to his own testi.
mony on the witness stand, says w.
G. Crone, juror.
Crone is in reality the man who
decided the physicians fate. Until
Sunday night Crone and s. r. John.
SON, q farmer from Sibley, Mo, held
out for acquittal against the rest OF
the jury. Crone said: AT first be-
lieved Hyde innocent, and, until Sun.
day night, / voted to acquit him.
Then / recalled his testimony about
his cyanide purchases, and l decided
he was guilty. / told Mr.. Johnson /
had changed my vote, and I talked
with him about my decision" A
strange feature of Juror Crone's ac-
ton is that his son, Albert, was re-
Gently sentenced to eighteen years in
the penitentiary for numbering Ber-
tina Bowler his sweetheart
The return of the verdict was
marked by an absence of dramatic
features. Mrs. Hyde cried a little
when she heard the verdict in the
court room. DR.. Hyde did not change
his usual stoical expression. Mrs.
Logan o. Swope was unnerved when.
at her home in independence, she
heard the outcome.
"My home is still open to my
daughter" she said. Il feel sorry for
her"
But Mrs. Hyde is not going back to
her mother. She is still loyal to her
husband, and confidently believes the
supreme court will free him.
DIR. B. Clark Hyde has been under
suspicion in connection with the mys-
terious deaths and illness in the
Swope family ever since the death of
Col. Thomas H. swope in October.
1909. The death Of Colonel Swope
followed soon after he had had a Sc
we're convulsion, and the convul-
sion, 1t was charged by mem
bers Of the Swope family, fol-
lowed Immediately after the admins
tration of capsule given at the d.
rection of DR.. Hyde. DR.. Hyde said
1t was a digestive tablet.
It was proven at the trial that Or.
Hyde had purchased cyanide of po-
tassium In five-grain capsules, and he
was prosecuted on the belief that he
gave one Of these capsules to Colonel
Swope. DR.. Hyde said he bought the
cyanide capsules to kill cockroaches
in his office.
Two days before the death of Col
onel Swope, Moss Hunton, a cousin of
he millionaire, died at the Swope
home following stroke of apoplexy.
DR.. Hyde and DR.. G. T. Twyman of
Independence treated Hunton. His
death is also charged to DR.. Hyde.

DRIVING WITH ROCKEFELLER.
Pleasant Recreation Provided for PEG
Pile OF Tarrytown by Their Famous
Fellow Townsman.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-To take a drive
with John D. Rockefeller has become
a regular recreation this spring for q
great many of the friends and neigh
bors of that famous resident OF Tar
rytown, and he has increased thereby
his popularity among the people CT
the little city. Not pleasant day
goes by without the oil king inviting
some of them, men, women and chill
dren, to ride with him in automobile
or carriage, and 1t is safe to say that
the invitations are seldom declined,
for his vehicles are the best to be
had, and the drives around Tarrytown
are beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller. before starting for
ride, always dons paper vest, de.
claring 1t to be a great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride he
refuses to take back the garment, and
consequently in nearly every home In
Tarrytown may be found paper vest
preserved as a souvenir of delightful
ride with the multi-milltonaire.

The boat left st. Louis, bound for
points along the Tennessee river, at
o'clock Wednesday night. The rise
OF the river had made the voyage pre-.

clogged with driftwood.
When nearing Glen Park the boat
was drawn shoreward by the current
despite the frantic efforts of the pilot.

struck q rock.

rescue of the passengers. He was fol

worked valiantly to drag the struggling
passengers from the water, but it is
feared that at least eight persons be-
sides Mrs. Rhea failed to reach the
shore. After they were taken ashore,
they were given shelter in the lime
company's boarding house.
