severe criticism Of the methods pur.

evidence, and general denial Of
every charge made by the state
against DR.. B. c. Hyde, marked the
opening statement Of Frank p.
Walsh, chief counsel for the defense
in the Swope murder trial here today.
Referring to the states chemists as
hired men," the attorney repeatedly
warned the jury 1t was likely to be
tricked by the testimony Of the medi.
ical experts. Mr.. Walsh covertly
charged that the reports of the chem.
lists were altered at times to suit the
convenience of their employers, and
insisted the state had unfairly denied
DR.. Hyde the right of having the Wis

man Swope so that the physician
might have them examined for poison.
Mrs. Logan o. Swope was assailed
as the cause of DR.. Hyde's trouble.
Belief that DR.. Hyde had Influenced
his wife in money matter which
Mrs. Hyde decided adversely to the
desires Of Mrs. Swope caused the first
trouble over Colonel Swope's will and
precipitated the whole Swope affair,
said Mr.. Walsh.
The line of defense DR.. Hyde will
use in his fight for acquittal was out
lined for the first time when Attorney
Frank P. Walsh made his opening
statement to the jury that will try the
physician. Extreme precaution had
been taken by DR.. Hyde's attorneys
to keep their defense secret. Not
charge nor denial had ever before
been made which might have given an
killing of what the physician expected
to prove or disprove. Mr.. Walsh spoke

to aid in the care Of Mr.. Hunton. DR..
Hyde was summoned from his home
to give treatment to Mr.. Hunton, the
attorney said, and the physician re-
sponded. That Hunton was suffering
from apoplexy there was no doubt,

course adopted, was correct. and was

Touching on the life of Colonel
Thomas H. Swope, the attorney told
how the millionaire had kept his will
a secret from every person except his
office partner, Sylvester Spangler.
Speaking of the private life of Col

during the last twenty-five years Of
Colonel Swope's life he was drunk
every day. His custom of taking a
tonic containing strychnine was men
