and John NJ. Lucas were scheduled to
speak. The remaining orators for the
state at the opening Of court were James
A. Reed, John NJ. Atwood and Prosecutor
Virgil S. Conkling.
Prior to Mr.. Jost's address last night
Judge Latshaw instructed the jury that

Jost's references to DR.. Hyde as this
fellow" and his upbraidings of Mrs.
HyOe as u IdlSlUcT JOT Tic ISSSIiuOny
she had given in behalf of her husba nd.
The charge of the state, said the
speaker, was equivalent to the state
ment that Mrs. Hyde was conniver
in the alleged murder of ner brother.
Mr. Walsh delivered an extended
eulogy of Mrs. Hyde. So impressed
was Juror w. c. Crane that he wept.
Dr. Hyde was pictured by the speaker
as a victim OF circumstances, but man
who was brave in the race OF dark
charges against him. The whole Swope
case was reviewed by Mr.. Walsh.
Two Women Weep Loudly.
When Moss Huntons death was men
toned both Mrs. Swope and Mrs. Hyde
were overcome with emotion. Although
they remained in the courtroom both wept
unreStrainedly.
Attention was called by Mr.. Walsh to
the fact that neither DR.. nor Mrs. hyde
swore Col. Swope took any of the strych-
nine tonic during the last week of his life.
Had they desired, averred the attorney,
they might have sworn, without fear OF
contradiction, that the remedy was taken,
and thus explained the presence OF the

BERLIN, May 12.-Theodore Roosevelt,
former President OF the United States,
delivered lecture today on the topic
THE World Movement at the Univer-
sity of Berlin. and received from the uni
versity the honorary degree of doctor OF
philosophy. Emperor William honored
the occasion with his presence.
1t was the first time that his majesty
had graced a conferment. and the cour-
tesy was significant in view of the fact
that the German court is in mourning for
the monarch's uncle. King Edward. The
ceremony of comforting the degree was
staged and conducted with impressive
simplicity. There were no flags nor en-
blenns of royalty and the government,
and the walls of the aula were bare, save
tor the rows of busts of Germany's fam
Gus scholars and scientists.
The only touch of color was furnished
by senators of the university with their
robes of scarlet and blue and the five
heads of the student corps, who wore
blue jackets, white breeches, jack boots
and parti-coIored SaShes
