.HYDE'S FATE
 SUSPENDED Case Submitted To Jury
 Yesterday Evening NO VERDICT 1T MIDNIGHT
Prosecutors Impassioned Plea For a Hanging Ter rified Wife of Defendant But It Only Moved Him to Smile

Kansas City. May 1S.-After the ' Hyde jury had ballotsd one hour and | forty minutes tonight without reaching
 verdict. the jurymen were sent to ! their hotel for the night They will
 resume at o'clock in the morning. |, Grown weary after more than four weeks of imprisonment. the halloting ] time was greeted with signs of relief 1 by the jurymen. During the final l hours of the closing addresses, which
 occupied the entire regular court ses- sions for two days. and entered into extra night sessions. the jurymen often ! looked at the clock and moved rest lcssly in their chairs.
 i When James R. Reed closed with the | states final argument tonight and ! Judge Latshaw had indicated that the ! jury was free to begin voting on a yer dict. tine twelve men walked quietly 1 from the court room. The court in l formed them that he would wait until a bout midnight for a verdict. If none had been found at that time. :he court i said they would be sent to their hotel to return tomorrow and continue their deliberations.
  his fate retired Turning to his wife
 at his side he said: "rll eat dinner at home with you Sunday. Frances" Off on another side Of the courtroom sat Mrs. Logan Q. Swope. and clustered about her were all her living children. ! with the exception of Mrs. Hyde.
 The jury filed past her as it went
 to it's room. As soon as the room had cleared sufficiently. the Swope fami- | ly went home.
 l More than d dozen personal friends
 of pr. Hyde and his wife remained in the room with the couple. The scene more resembied social gathering. Seated in the center of the little cir cle of people. the physician lighted a cigar. tilted back in his chair and be- gan to tell stories. Soon the party was ! laughing and joking.
 While Mrs. B. c. Hyde wept con vulsively. Prosecutor Virgil $. Conk- | ling today asked the jury to pass judg- | ment upon her husband. to inflict the ! death sentence upon the physician. The impassioned appeal of the prose cUtor did not move pr. Hyde. When Conkling ended his plea to the jurors to send the defendant to death. the
 physician turned about in his chair
 and smiling to his wife said Why. that man wants to hang me- still sobbing. Mrs. Hyde put her arm upon her husbands shoulder. but said noth ing.
 Attorney James A. Reed began his final argument for the state at : o'clock. He argued at the outset that Hyde began to collect testimony last December to use in the trial. although at that time no charge had been filed against him. pr. Hyde was character ized as a physician. grown so accus- toned to suffering and so hardened to crime as to be able to commit the atro- cities he is said to have committed in the Swope house without flinching.
 "They are trying to hide this mans guilt behind the skirts of his wife,
 said Mir. Reed.
 The attorney described Dr. Hyde's greed for gold as one that made him bolder every time he accomplished a crime and added to his wealth. With
 Moss Hunton gone. he said. the physi cial was nerved to do away with Col onel Swope. The coming into his hands of part of Chrisman Swope's property led him to poison Margaret Swope. hoping that her money, too. would roll into his coffers. =
 "Oh. he would poison the whole fam ily,'' shouted MT. Reed.
 Time after time as Mir. Reed pro gressed Attorney Walsh rose to correct him on what he averred were errors in the states presentation of testimony. "The jury will remember the evil dence: let the attorney proceed" said Judge Latshaw.
 Although unable to speak directly of
 Hyde being charged with srave-robb ing few years ago. Mir. Reed brought
 the matter to the minds of the jury by talking of Dr. G. T. Twyman. the Swope family physician, who recently died. He was an honest man." said the attorney. "He never robbed ., a
 grave in his life"
 Outside the-c court building a giant mob began to battle this evening for vantage points from which to gain an entrance to the night session. So un- ruly did the mob become that several deputies were delegated to preserve or der The throng was then lined up two , abreast The line extended around two ] sides of the court house. more than a
 block beyond.
 | Prosecutor Conkling's address was
 severe He told the jury plainly that i he believed pr. Hyde was guilty and for this reason he was working so hard | fo conv;rf hin, fJe ipIeaf1ed that the
