Poison In swope's Body.

Colonel Thomas H Swope, multi
millionaire. and Chairman Swope. his
nephew, die1 at Kansas City, Mo. from
strychninP poisoning. This informa-
ton was contained in a telegram re-

attorney for the Swope heirs. Arrests
are expected.
The telegram from Chicago, which
announced that DR. Walter Haines and
DR.. Ludwig KekteOn had found poison
in the stOma chs of the two dead men,
bers of the Swope family, lends con.

Colonel Swope, whose fortune is
variOusly estimated at from four to
six million dollars. died In convul.

circumstances. Shortly afterwards
eight members of the Swope family
were stricken with typhoid fever. Then
came the startling statement that a
person who would benefit by the death
of the members of the Swope family
