courtroom scene, during which many
lawyers addressed the court at the

unfair play among themselves. the
bond of DR. y. G. Hyde was almost
revoked and attorneys for the defense
threatened upon certain conditions to
attempt Impeachment of state wit

this afternoon. The trouble all arose
over an attache of Prosecutor Conk-
ling's office losing the grand jury
notes on the testimony of DR.. Walter
$. Haincs and AZ other state witnesses.
\ woman found the notes and gave
them to Frank =. walsh. chief coun-
sci for Dr. Hyde.
These notes. according to Mr. Walsh.
contain statements of Or. Hyde that
no cyanide of potassium was found
in the vsccra of Colonel Swopc and
not enough poison was found In Chris
man Swope's viscera to cause death.
If DR. Haines swears on the witness
stand to any alleged facts other than
these. he will be prosecuted for per-
jury. said Mr. Walsh. Perjury Is Il
capital offense In murder case.
Prosecutor Conkling admits this is
the testimony DR. Halnes gave before
the grand jury, but AYERS later the
chemist found traces of cyanide Of
potassium in both visceras He will
testify to this. says MIR. conkling.

In the meantime the papers have
been returned TO the state and the

copies of the evidence. Judge Latshaw
is of the opinion he has no power to
deprive the defense of the copies. Miss
