MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE


administration OF n capsule by a
nurse, who later went TO look for the
box from which Doctor Hyde had TAX
en- the capsule and could not find IT,.
Following this eight members OF the
Swope household were stricken with
typhoid fever.
Colonel Swope's body was placed In
the family vault but, at the request
OF the executor, OF the estate. the
vital organs were removed and sent
To Chicago, where they were examin-
ed by noted scientists. They reported
that strychnine was In evidence In
great quantities In the stomach and
liver The coroner's jury then held
Doctor Hyde responsible for Colonel
Swope's death and later the grand
jury returned Indictments against him
not only with the death of Swope, but
OF Chrisman Swope, his nephew, and
James Moss Hunton, as we'll as the
poisoning by disease germs OF the
members OF the household stricken
with typhoid.
In the course of the grand jury
hearing every member of the Swope
family. with the exception OF Doctor
Hyde and his wife. appeared and tes-
titled Mrs. Logan Swope, sister-in-
Law of Colonel Swope, appeared eight
times and related In every detail the
death OF her brotherin-law. She told
OF Doctor Hyde's visit TO the house:
OF Colonel Hunton's death; OF Colonel
Swope's death few days later, and
OF her son. Chrisman's death. Then
she related the story OF the typhoid
which attacked every member OF the
household. The defense sought TO
bring in Charles Hatred Jordan, a
Chilean ''yarb doctor" into the case,
but this move was considered so far
| from bearing on the actual charge
that he was not called before the
grand jury. II is admitted that he
waited on the Swope family. but his
prescriptions were said to have been
| harmless.
A curious feature OF the case was
| that the Swope millions were used
both TO prosecute and defend the
charges against Doctor Hyde. The
executors and heirs Of the Swope
estate supplied money to aid the
prosecution. while Mrs. Hyde mort
gagged her Inheritance to fight for the
liberty of her husband
Most OF the members OF the family
who testified against Doctor Hyde
were alleged TO be victims of his ty-
phoid fever germs. Evidence was ad-
duced before the coroner's inquest

sault On Aged jackson Resident.

JACKSON, Mich. May 16.-Mrs.
Minnie Kruegler. an aged woman, Nv
ing at what is known as Cripple
Creek" 1872 Adrian-ave., was the vie
tim OF brutal assault Sunday morn
ing. She Is terribly injured about
the head. but 1t is believed will re.
cover. Mrs. Kruegler was alone In
the house at the time OF the attack.
Paul Thornton, who resides next door
to the place. was awakened by sounds
of struggle in the Kruegler house.
He arose, dressed and, as he got out
on the street, he saw a man running
away from the house. He gave
-eAase,-but the an-had a good start
and got away. The entire neighbor-
hod was by this time aroused.
The, aged woman was found on the
floor in pool OF blood. She was un-
able to give an account OF what had
happened and was removed to the
city hospital.
The police secured the neighbor-
hood and arrested on suspicion a
young man giving his name as Frank
Weldon, who admits being at Cripple
Creek" early in the evening.
Mrs. Kruegler Is known to have
had large sum OF money in the
house and this leads 10 the belief that
the motive was robbery.
