That Colonel Swope took a patent
medicine containing tonic of iron, qui-
nine and strychnine up to within few
days of his death developed at the in
quest yesterday.
This testimony was given by Miss
Keller. Miss Keller cared for Colonel
Swope from Sept IL until the day of
his death. She testified that the mil
lionaire took the mixture daily in addi-
ton to the treatment given him by DR..
B. G. Hyde.

Previously, in a deposition, S. w.
Spangler, office partner of Colonel
Swope, testified that Colonel Swope at
his Office took large doses daily of a
patent medicine containing strychnine.
Physicians say the fact of Colonel
Swope having taken much of this med
icine would explain the presence of
poison in his vital organs. 1t was also
pointed out that Colonel SwOpe was in
a weakened condition when he last
took the medicine.
