Hyde Explains Actions.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 1O.-The
belief that DR.. C. B. Hyde will be the
Last witness to take the stand in his
trial for the alleged murder of Col.
Thomas H. swope led today to the
prediction that the case would go to
the jury at the end of the present
week.
The examination Of DR.. Hyde was
continued today, and it was expected
that his cross-examination would be-
gin this afternoon.
DR.. Hyde denied specifically all
charges brought against him. In
turn he charged that when he re-
turned to his office from an out Of
town trip he discovered that some
poisons and culture tubes had been
taken from his office.
DR.. Hyde testified that he told
Druggist Brecklein that he wanted
cyanide Of potassium to destroy in
sects. Brecklein recently testified
that Hyde told him he wanted the
poison in order TO kill dogs.
DR.. Hyde said that, besides using
the cyanide for killing reaches, he
also used it for cleaning stains of
nitrate OF silver from his hands
When asked why he did not use nom
poisonous roach powder, he said that
he had no faith in such compounds.
The witness explained that he
bought the postassium in capsules,
rather than in Jars, because capsules
could be used more conveniently for
cleaning the hands.

TOOK MANY
PICTURES
OF COMET
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRB.l ]


Pasadena, Calf, May 10.-Under
the direction of Professor George
Ellery Hale, a remarkable series of
photographs of Halley's comet has
been secured at the Carnegie obser-
vatory on Mount Wilson during the
last 4S hours.
According to Prof. Hale, director
of the observatory, these will be
supplemented with other views ub-
tanned while the wanderer is within
hailing distance of the earth
Hale now estimates the comets
tail to be 2O,OOO,OOO miles in length
He declared the earth will pass
through this appendage on the gem
orally accepted date, May IS, and
that two days later the comet will
make its closest approach to the
earth at a point 100000 miles
away.
In view Of the fact that the light
of stars beyond the comets Is not
dimmed by the vaporous veil be-
tween them and the earth, 1t Is as
serted that It is folly TO presume
that the gases which compose the
tail are dense enough to penetrate
our atmosphere.
The fear that the deadly eyanogen
gas will envelope the earth, he said,
Is baseless.

Denver, Colo, May 1O.-The hand
that strangled to death Mrs RATHER
inc Wilson in her palatial home here
carved on her forehead the greek
letter Delta" The police today are
admittedly at loss to understand
the motive for the murder and for
the strange symbol cut into the vic
TINS flesh.
The body of Mrs. Wilson, a veal
thy and comely woman, was found
thrust into packing box in the
basement of her new home in the
fashionable Capitol Hill district.
She had been strangled to death
with cloth that had been twisted
about the throat. The body was
found by her husband and Mrs. Ma
bel Galland, daughter by a former
husband.
When the body was brought into
the light, the mystic symbol was no.
ticed. The Delta" had been cut in
the exact center of the forehead. On
each side of the lines. of the triangle
the skin had been cut in two strips
bringing the symbol into bold relief
The corners of the delta's base
touched the temples while the apex
reached to the hair line at the top
of the forehead.
The police are seeking a Japanese
servant, who, according to neigh
bors, was helping Mrs. Wilson clean
house last Saturday, on the day she
was last seen alive. 1t is certain
that she was murdered Saturday for
she wore the same clothes in which
she was last seen and the sleeves
were rolled up as they had been
when she was directing the Japan
ese.
The condition of the clothing and
of the body intimates the theory of
an assault. Nothing is missing from
the house TO indicate robbery. The
motive for the crime is deep mys-
terry.
japanese employment bureaus
have no record of having sent any
one to the Wilson home on Satur-
day but neighbUrs say they saw
strange japanese man enter the
house.
Mrs Wilson was preparing the
house for the return of her husband
who arrived yesterday, from Hot
Springs. While on his way home
Wilson met Mrs. Galland and to-
gether they went to the residence.
They found the house locked OBJ
tanning entrance they found no trace
of Mrs. Wilson and began a system
attic search which ended when they
found her crumpled body in the
packing box IN the basement.

UNITED PnEss l.HAsHD wIRr.l
Montesano, Wash, May 10.-The
fate of William Gohl, former agent
of the Sailors union, on trial for
the murder of Charles Hadberg.
probably will be decided today.
Prosecutor Campbell was sched-
uled to make his opening statement
to the jury at the re-opening OF
court today. He was to be followed
by the attorneys for the defense.
The sudden closing of the defense
late yesterday afternoon, just an
hour and 20 minutes after they
placed the first witness on the stand.
proved one of the sensations Of the
day.
1t was expected that 80 or 40 wit
nesses would testify for the defense.
The rumor that the body OF John
HOFFMAN, whom it is alleged Gohl
murdered, has been found in the
bay, tied to an anchor, seemingly
caused the defense's attorneys to
change their, plans.
Prosecutor Campbell strongly i'm
timated that the state will ask for a
re-opening of the case for the pur-
pose of introducing new testimony
against Gohl. should the body be re-
covered and identified as that OF
HOFFMAN.
The defense made no attempts to
deny Patrick McHugh's statement
that Gohl told him that he "sent
HOFFMAN and Hadberg to hell" and
that he "had planted them where
they wuold tell no tales" and that
he gave them anchors for pillowa.-a
Neither was any evidence intro
duced by the defense to show that
Gohl did not go down the bay in the
launch Patrol on the night Of De-
cember 81, the night Kllngenbergen
confessed he killed Hadberg at
Gohl's command.
Before the state began IT'S argu-
ment the defense asked to have the
defendant released owing to the
miss-spelling of the word premedi-
tated. which read ''premediated" In
the information. The motion was
oyerruled.
Judge Ben Sheeks then read the
Instructions to the jury and said if
the jury thought that the defendant
was present when the crime was
committed and aided and directed
the crime. although the killing was
committed by another, conviction OF
murder in the frst degree should be
brought in.
Also he warned them to act with
great care in considering the testi-
mony OF John Kllngenberg, who
confessed that he committed the
crime and unless the evidence was
corroborated the defendant should
be found not guilty,
Attorney Bonner began the open
ing argument OF the state He -four
ished the effects OF the dead man.
and seemingly made decided lm-
preston upon many Of the jurors,
Mrs. Gohl broke down during the ar
gument and wept. Gohl was un-
moved. He paid strict attention to
every word said.
He colored at times when called a
"cowardly low down cur" or when
the attorney made special mention Of
the Hadberg murder From present
indications the case viii not 90 to the
Jury before tonight.
