Late Afternoon plsdlosures.

Kansas City, Mo, May 4.--Dr- We
tor c. Vaughn, the toxicologist OF Ann
Arbor. Mich, and regarded by the
state as It's most important witness
In the Hyde murder trial, began ms
testimony late yesterday afternoon,
Searches for poison made by nm
alone and also with the aid OF Dr.
Walter S. Haines of Chicago, sad
Dr. Vaughn, had resulted in the dis-
coyery OF the following:
Twenty-six thirty-thirds OF a gram
of strychnne in the entire liyer o.
Col. Thomas II. Swope. signs OF eva.
pide in the stomach A trace OF
strychnine in Kidney
A suggestion, but no positive proof

stomach of Miss Margaret swope,
Cyanide In capsules said to have
been thrown into street by DR.. u.
C. Hyde the night he was expelled
from the Swope residence, last De
cember is.
In reply to hypothetical questions
regarding the cOnNulslVhH 9uiicIVu ~
Col Thomas H., Chrisman and Mar
garet Swope DR.. Vaughn said, in ms
opinion, they had been caused by the
administration OF some conyulslve
poison. cyanide or strychnine would
produce such symptoms, said the wit
ness.
Judging from his investigation OF
the tragedies, said the toxlcologist, he
did moi believe Col Swope died from
apoplexy or uraemic poisoning, or
Chrlsman Swope from meningitis.
While on the stand Dr. Vaughn
produced what was purported to be
strychnine taken from the liver oi
Col. swope. Attorney Reed held M
the exhibit and announced what the
scientist claimed IT was. Dr. HYDE
laughed. Mrs. Swope cried.
DR.. Haines was the only witness
besides D.. Vaughn, on the stand yes
terday being cross-examlned by Mr.
Walsh. Probably his most salient ad
mission was that the traces of stryeh
nine he said be found In the bodies
he examined, referred to particles o.
the drug of less than one tw0hun
drcd and fortleth Of grain.
