Kansas City, Mo-, April 22.-Pros.
ecutor Conkling announced today
that he had discovered enough con-
nection between the disappearance
of the notes of the grand jury in the
Swope murder case and their posses
sion by the attorneys for DR.. B. G.
Hyde, the defendant, to warrant &
grand jury investigation.
Miss Pearl Kellar, Colonel
Swope's nurse, whose testimony iI
strongly for the prosecution, contin-
ued on the witness stand today.
After giving her direct testimony
she was severely cross-examined by
attorneys for the defense. Her story
was apparently mistaken by the Or
deal.
Miss Kellar described in detail the
death throes of Colonel Swope. The
most noticeable difference in her
testimony under cross examination
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-04-22

was that she denied that she pre-
viously had testified that she gave
Colonel Swope a strychnine tonic
three times day.
Her deposition hitherto taken,
showed that she had given Swope
the tonic.
She attempted to reconcile her
two statements and Walsh insisted
upon direct answers to his questions.
Judge Latshaw interfered and
told the attorney that the witness
should be treated with the courtesy
usually accorded a woman. Walsh
objected to the remark of the court,
saying that Judge Latshaw was
hedging him in his cross examina-
ton" In the course of cross-ques-
tioning by Walsh, the states attor
ney objected to questions and the
court sustained every objection
Judge Larshaw interrupted the ex-
animation of the witness frequently
to give Miss Kellar time to reflect
before answering and to explain her
answers.
Undertaken OFT proved a good wit
ness for the Defense his testimony
conflicting with that of Miss Kellar
in two important details.
He said that water used in wash
ing the arm of Colonel Hunton had
been poured into a jar with the
blood that was let from Hunton's
arm by DR.. Hyde and that the liquid
might have been the blood which
Miss Kellar has testified, measured
two quarts.
He also said that DR., Twyman
and not DR.. Hyde controlled the let
ting of the blood. He testified that
DR.. Twyman and not DR.. Hyde held
the threads that closed the vein ana
by pulling them at any time could
have closed it. OFT was present
when the blood letting operation
was performed on Hunton.

Washington, April 22.-The situa-

INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.

Some time ago the agent and other officers in
charge of the Yuma reservation asked the braves
to refrain from burning the houses of the dead.
They showed how easy it would be for a fire to
sweep a part of the reservation and put gov
eminent property in jeopardy.
For time the Indians observed the request

in the most approved redskin style The personal
effects of the deceased were burned and his house
was set on fire. He was supposed to have arrived
in the happy hunting ground, ready for enthu-
siastic reception
But, inasmuch as the personal property of a
deceased person belongs to the heirs by the Cali
fornia law, there is doubt that jealous friends
oyerstepped the law when they cremated every
