Some Cyanide Discovered in Dead
Mans Stomach.

Kansas City, May 3.-As the result
of a clash between Prosecutor Conk-
ling and Attorney Walsh the jury
hearing the Hyde murder trial today
learned part of the story of the dis
appearance Of the grand jury notes, Of
which they had been in ignorance.
In the course of the argument today
Conkling made reference to Stolen
grand jury notes." Walsh, pounded
the table with his fist and demanded
that they Were lost thru the blunder-
ing Of the prosecutors office" Conk-
ling angrily declared that they were

demand, Conking declared that he
couldn't say. but he knew who re-

Little Poison in Swope Body.
Dr. Walter S. Haines. the Chicago
Psychologist told in the Hyde trial the
alleged results of his search for poison.
Insofar as his personal Investigation
was concerned. he admitted they re-
suited in the finding of little danger
Gus drugs. With but one exception.
he found cyanide only when collaborat-
ing with DR.. Victor c. Vaughn of Ann
Arbor. In part of the stomach of Col.
Thomas II. Swope, he found two hum
dredths of grain of strychnine. A
small trace was located in the brain.
With the aid of Vaughn Haines said
he discovered some cyanide in the
stomach.
Only slight traces of strychnine
were found in the stomach and liver
of Chrisman Swope. 1t was the belief
of himself and Vaughn that there
were signs of cyanide shown in the
test upon the stomach, but they were
unable to locate definitely any Of this
drug.

ROOSEVELT STORY DENIED.
Washington Posts Claims Shown to
Have Been Untrue.

nave oC0n OuST0Ss
Washington. May s-.Washington
was stirred by the story published IN
the Post of this city to the effect that
letters had been received by President
Taft from Roosevelt and by others in
which the ex-president gave assurances
that he would stand by the Taft ad-
ministration, that he would take the
field for the congressional ticket and
that he would turn his strength to
William Loeb for governor Of New
York Prompt denials not alone from
President Taft but all others con-
cerned followed the publication of the
story, but the report served. to bring
out certain interesting facts. One OF
these is that Mr.. Roosevelt has written
to no one what his political course will
be nor will he write any one what 1t
will be until he has had the time to
reach this country and look around for
himself.
There is good reason to believe that
iMr. Roosevelt has indicated to some
of his friends in this country, at least
to one of them, that he will keep silent
and will not allow himself to be drawn
into the controversy as to the Taft
administration. That he has made up
his mind to support Pinchot is the in
formation received, but he can do this
probably without launching into crit
icism Of President Taft and certainly
would without general criticism OF the
Taft administration.
It has been disclosed here by man
who is very close to Roosevelt and
who has seen him in Europe that Mr..
Roosevelt has neither written nor does
he propose to say what he will do until
he has surveyed the field.
Not less interesting than the seeming
disposition Of Mr.. Roosevelt to proceed
with care and caution In his course
with respect to the administration and
the campaign in this country. this sum
mer and fall, is the anxiety displayed
by. the regular republicans and espe-
cially by the campaign committee man
agement to draw him into the situation.
They say frankly that IL they can get
Roosevelt to fight for them this sum-
mer and fall they will carry the next
house otherwise they fear 1t will go
democratic.
Senators 5Crmnains and DolIiver have
not yet made up their minds when to
depart for Iowa. They expect to leave
here, however, about May 10 II the rail-
road bill situation will permit. The
senate, however. Is proceeding slowly
with this bill and the time when it will
be disposed oi W the senate !4ss IN
certain.
