velopments in the mystery of the mil
lionaire's death.
Miss Keller testified that immediate
ly following the death of Colonel
Thomas Moss Hunton, DR.. B. c. Hyde
asked her to use her influence with
Colonel Swope to have him appointed
administrator of the Swope estate.
Mr.. Hunton had been the admins
traitor.
On the morning of Colonel Swope's
death she gave him three-grain cap
sule. supposed to contain dyspepsia
medicine. This she did at the direc.
ton of DR.. Hyde. Twenty minutes Ia
ter Colonel Swope was in a convul
sion. His death soon followed.
Five minutes after Colonel Swope's
death DR.. Hyde appeared and with
Attorney John G. Paxton secured Col
onel Swope's will from his vest peck
ct.
Mrs. Swope testified that DIR. Hyde
knew of Colonel Swope's intention to

plan to change his will to this effect.

told DR.. Hyde that he had planned to
give Thomas Swope the largest part
of his estate.
DR.. Frank Hall said he was certain
Colonel Swope did not die from cere-
bral hemorrhage or apoplexy.
DR.. Hyde was again present at the
inquest and heard every word Of the
testimony. Especially did he follow
the testimony Of Miss Keller But
he gave no sign that her narrative

A question that may have great
bearing on the case was asked by a
juryman during the afternoon 1t was:
Gould the body absorb strychnine

YES" DR.. Hektoen replied. I'll
strychnine had been injected after
death and the body had lain for a
