TESTIMONY PERMIT
TED BY COURT OVER oRJEc-

NURSE TELLS OF DEATH OF
,HuNToN, NEPHEW OF swoPE
Hyde "5Ied" Patient to Point Of Death
While Treating Him For ApopIexy-
Wanted Him Out Of Way So Defend
ant Could Gain Control of Estate
State Shows Motive For Crime.

Kansas City, April 20.-Following
the overruling Of defense's objection to
testimony not touching directly upon
the death Colonel Swope being in
troduced into the Hyde murder trial,
Miss Pearl Keller, the nurse, resumed
the witness stand this morning.
Colonel Swope will never return to
Kansas City" This prophecy, testified
Miss Keller in the Hyde murder trial,
yesterday, was made to her by DR.. B.
c. Hyde in independence, few days
before Swope died.
She was Swope's nurse. Hyde's re-
ing >the physician that Swope planned
to come here to his office, in a few
days. The patient at that time was
in a better condition than for weeks.
Between the time Hyde was alleged
to have made the remark and Swope's
death James Moss Hunton, a counsin
of Swope, succumbed. Miss Keller had
begun to tell of the illness of Hunton
when the defense objected, claiming
that no testimony regarding any other
death or illness than that of Colonel
Swope should be admitted and this
objection was overruled this morning.
Admitted as Showing Motive.
The particular point upon which the
defense objected. was the details of
James Moss Hunton's death. The
court held that the state is attempting
to prove a motive on the part of Hyde
in the alleged killing of Hunton. Miss
Keller then told of Hunton suffering
from apoplexy when DR.. Hyde was
called He and DR.. Twyman bled the
patient
Hyde made an incision in Hunton's
arm and after a pint of blood was
drawn Twyman suggested that there
had been enough bleeding. Hyde dis
scented and more blood was drawn.
A second and third time Twynan
objected to the bleeding, but Hyde
only stopped upon suggestion of Mrs.
Hyde. Witness said she took charge Of
the blood, and, upon measuring 1t,
found there was two quarts.
A few minutes after Hunton's death,
Miss Keller said Hyde importuned her
to use her influence in having him
made administrator of Colonel Swope's
estate to succeed Hunton. She re-
fused.
Attorney Walsh declared that he had
in his possession papers containing
notes of the testimony of DR.. Walter
Haines given before the grand jury,
which showed the scientist had de-
clared that no cyanide of potassium
was found in the stomach Of Colonel
Swope. n
