City. including Swope park. amount
to more than million and half. died
Dec. ;. the cause OF death being given
as apopleyy.
The sudden death OF Chrisman
Swope in December aroused suspicion
which lei TO thu exhumation OF Col.
Swope's body and an autopsy showed,
according to information given out
by the attorneys for the estate. that
oil the organs. including the brain.
were in normal condition. A slight
trace OF typhoid bacilli was found.
The lawyers believe that expert
examination OF the stomach will prove
that Col. Swope was poisoned and they
declare that they have evidence OF a
plot TO Kill all of the heirs to the
Swope estate. estimated at $4,000
In inoculation with typhoid fever
germs
Attorney John H. Atwood said:
I'VE have the evidence we'll In hand.
There is not a particle of doubt In my
mind that botn Thomas Swope and
Chrisman Swope were poisoned and
that they did not die OF the diseases
which they were said TO have had in
the newspaper accounts"
Shortly before Chrisman Swope 5
death IL is charged a man visited
bacteriologist and secured some
typhoid germs. With these deadly
hacilli those pushing the matter be-
lieve me hoped 10 inoculate the mem
bers of the Swope family. Oct. 81.
Col. Swore arose and was given a
hath. An hour afterward he died In
commissions. Chrlsman Swope was
man OF about so. young and vigorous.
Shortly before his death II was given
out that ne was suffering from typhoid
fever. He was taken down Dec. and
died four days after. He Is said 10
have been given a capsule an hour be-
fore his death. The nurses say he
died in corvulsions.
The man suspected secured his ty-
phoid bacteria Nov. 80. His first Visit
TO the Swope home In independence
was made Thanksgiving day. In
rapid succession Mrs. Logan Swope
and other members OF the family
were taken down with typhoid fever.
They follow in chronological order:

Manv Prisons.

NEW YORK, Jan. l4.-Charles T..
Richards. also known as Lord Ash
burton. Charles Bertram and William
Griffis. who, according to the police,
has served terms from California to
London, IL again in the tolls. The cap
ture OF the notorious Lord Ashbur-
tom at this time Is due to the clever
ness OF Miss Lulu Estell, woman de-
tectiye who was called in by the police
10 assist them. He was arrested on
the charge OF attempted grand larceny
I'm connection with the disappearance
OF stock belonging to Carlo Warheid.

Examination by detectives after the
arrest proved that Lord Ashburton

stocks. but the evidence offered by
Miss Estell in regard to other deals
was considered sufficient TO hold him
on an attempted grand larceny charge.

EARNED Lands.

An exhaustive census investigation

increased Is per cent. In the older
states. from Ohio eastward, there has
been going on for twentJ years a Tend
