NURSE TELLS Of TYPHOID
|SWOPE DIED IN CONFUSION,
AS DAUGHTER DID.
Her Testimony All Given at One
Time, Whether Relevant or Not.
Owing to Hyde's Insistence.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 21.-The in
sistence of DR.. Hyde that Miss Pearl
Keller, a nurse, complete at one time all
her testimony for the state caused Judge
Latshaw today to permit the witness to
go into the details OF the typhoid epi-
demic in the Swope home.
In passing on the matter yesterday the
court decided he would hear no testi-
mony on this phase of the case until its
relevancy to the death Of Col. Swope was
shown.
Rather than deprive the state of the
testimony of Miss Keller. however, said
the court. she might testify regarding
the epidemic at this time. II relevancy is
not established then the testimony will
be stricken out.
But the jury has heard all her evil
dence.
Most startling Of all the features of
Miss Keller's story was her assertion
that the convulsion suffered by Marga-
ret Swope- December 1s, was similar to
the attack that preceded Col Swope's
death. The state charges that on this
day DR.. Hyde poisoned Margaret Swope.
Just before the noon adjournment Mrs.
Hyde became deeply interested in the
testimony Of the witness and leaned for
ward several times to coach her hus-
bands attorneys.
Frank p. Walsh announced he would
begin to cross-examine Miss Keller at the
afternoon session.

ALL DEAD IN MINE
Little Hope Is Entertained for
Imprisoned Men.
SEALED TO PREVENT FIRE
Helmets and Other Paraphernalia
Rushed to Scene-Flames
From Shaft. =,
SEALED TO PREVENT FIRE

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. April 21.-Little
hope is expressed today that any OF
the thirty-five or forty miners en-
tombed in the Mu1ga mine of the Bir-
mingham Coal and Iron Company as
the result Of an explosion about nine
o'clock last night would be rescued
alive. ts
When the first crew Of rescuers
reached the bottom of the shaft this
morning the corpses Of two miners were
found. The rescuers upon returning tc
the surface expressed the opinion that
all the imprisoned men were dead.
When it was learned that 1t was i'm
possible to gain entrance to the mine
through the shaft because the cages
were sprung in the passage, the en-
trance was sealed to prevent II pos
sible, the spread Of fire.
Helmets for Rescuers.
Shortly after midnight the hospital
car of the Tennessee company was
rushed to the scene equipped with he'll
NETS and all other necessary parapher-
nalia for entering a gaseous mine
Ambulanoes also were sent from Ems
ley and Birmingham to the scene, which
is about twelve miles northwest of Bir-
mingham.
The only list of names Of the miners
at work at the time Of the explosion
was held by the foreman of the gang al
work who is among the entombed men
1t is believed. however, there are fifteen
white men and twenty or twenty-five
negroes.
The mine has been in operation two
years. The shaft is $50 feet deep, and
the fact that flames shot from the
feet leads to the belief that the explo-
sion occurred near the bottom Of the
main shaft.
