Doubt has arisen whether Percy F.

as Covert asserts in his petition he is. The
records In the office Of the county assessor
fail to show that Mr.. Covert has within

either real or personal property.

Mr.. Covert has paid personal taxes, but is

Mrs. L. O. Swope
Gives Deposition
Mother of Mrs. Hyde Tells of Colonel
Swope's Eccentricities-Still Be-
lieves in "Yarb" Man.

KANSAS CITY. March s.-After weeks
OF delay, occa stoned by squabblcs between
attorneys and her presence before the
grand jury, Mrs. Logan o. Swope, the
guiding hand in the investigation of the
Swope mystery. today gave her deposition
in DR.. b. c. Hyde's Islander suit against
John O.. Paxton, an executor for the
Thomas II. swope estate.
There was little sensational testimony in
Mrs. Swope's story. In fact II was hardly
as interesting a deposition as had been
I expected. considering the hard fight that
DR.. Hyde's attorneys have made for It.
with twinkling eyes and many smiles for
her son-in-law's attorneys Mrs. Swope told
OF the eccentricities Of Colonel swope, and
then, with all seriousness expressed her
confidence in Chasses Hatred Chase Jor-
dan, the swarthy "yarb'' man who in eight
years has received between $4,000 and S20,-
900 for 'doctorlng'' the swopes.
While Mrs. Swope was telling her story
a deputy sheriff in wyandotte county,
Kansas, was searching for the herb spe-
Icialist, for whom he had a warrant charg-
Ing Jordan with practicing medicine with
out a license.
The warrant was secured by James Meek,
assistant prosecuting attorney Of wyan-
dotte county, after the State Board Of Med
ical Registration and Examination had
made complaint against jordan. Jordan
was found at his home III, and as a result
the warrant was not served today.
A. c. Smith, a drug salesman, also testl-
fled in DR.. Hyde's suit today. He told Of
selling pills to Jordan that contained bella
donna and a~cetanalide.
But regardless Of all Jordan's troubles
Mrs. Swope believes in him. She is still
"doctoring'' with him. Thus she testified
today. She also testified that Mrs. B. G..
Hyde, who precipitated the Investigation Of
! the doctor also had confidence in him
at one time.
Francis Hyde" said Mrs. Swope, in
speaking Of her daughter, was Just as
we'll pleased as any Of us when Jordan
cured me-"
Colonel Swope, according to Mrs. Swope,
was extremely eccentric. Constantly fear
ing death, he had talked of his demise for
years before the end came. For twenty
five years he drank, becoming "tipsy," as
she expressed It, during the latter part Of
each afternoon. He suffered greatly from
stomach trouble, until a short time before
his death, when he appeared to improve.

The proponents trump care in the suit

Father McGovern told the fury that a few
days before Mr.. Connors death he had

asked to interrogate Mr.. Connor about his
temporal affairs.
Father McGovern testified that he did so
and that Mr.. Connor answered. TITS all

By this testimony, with that Of Rev. J. c.
Buckley to the same effect, though at a
much earlier date, the proponents hope to
convince the jury that Mr.. Connor himself
did not destroy the absent will.
The position of the proponents is his

Mr.. Conner died and It is therefore in
