Declares Millionaire's Death May
Have Resulted From One of
Several Causes.

KANSAS CITY, February 15-Miss
Pearl Kellar. the nurse who gave the
most important testimony at the inquest
into the death OF Col Thomas H Swope.
was the first witness called today by the
special grand jury that is investigating
the case. The testimony Of DR.. Frank
Hall, a bacteriologist. who assisted at the
autopsy on Col. Swope's body. given yes
terday In a deposition In the office OF
Frank P. Walsh. has added q new ele-
ment Of doubt to the Swope mystery.
which, 1T is believed. will cause the
prosecuting attorney to subject every wit
ness before the grand jury to severe
questioning. Although DIR. Hall testified
before the coroner's jury, the evidence
he gave yesterday in his deposition was
not brought out then. He testified yes
terday that from bis observations at the
autopsy he believed the death of Col
Swope might have resulted from cerebral
hemorrhage, uremic poisoning or con-
gestion of the spinal cord. At the in
quest he testified that the brain and vital
organs of Col. Swope were practically
normal.
DIR. Hektoen of Chicago, who also as
sisted in the autopsy, testified at the in
quest that there was no evidence of abb
normality in the brain and vital organs
of the dead millionaire. That the grand
jury will be in session much longer than
was at first supposed is probable. But
two witnesses were examined vest I'd iy
They were the undertaken who embalmed
Col. Swope's body and the city clerk of

College Park with their machines look
ing more or less like steam shovels
from Panama during the rainy season.
Mr.. Bishop walked all over the pro-
posed aviation field and said his only
criticism of it was the fact that the
turns would have to be comparatively
sharp and might initiate against high
speed.
After going over the field the party
was entertained at the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, where Capt. Sylvester, the
dean OF the faculty, and Mayor Mahool
of Baltimore, made speeches. Mr.. Bishop
was called Oh for an address. but was
very brief and laughingly declined to
commit himself as to the prosI ects of
having the international aviation meet
in Washington. He said he was pleased
with the enthusiasm shown on all sides
during his visit here.
In the evening Mr.. Bishop was enter
tanned at a smoker at the home of DR..
Bell, whose guest he has been.
The decision as to where the interna-

around other cities and reported to the

under the law of the international fedora
