Waish's Terrific Eloquence
lRy Associated PreSsl

Kansas City, Mo, May l3--For al
most seven hours yesterday Attorney
Frank p. Walsh addressed the jury
which is sitting in Judgment upon Dr.
Is. Cla k Hyde here. Mr.. Walsh clos
ed his address shortly before O'Clock
last night and at a night session OF
court Attorney John H, Atwood spoke
in behalf OF the state.
Not a phase of the Swope mystery
was left untouched by Mr. Walsh. Mr..
Atwood's address dwelt more specific
ally with the investigations made by
the prosecutions scientists. He had
made special study OF this feature
OF the case.
III you hang Clark Hyde declared
MIR. Walsh at one point in his argu-
ment, ut will be upon the word OF
one woman alone-alrs. Logan o.
Swope Ii is she that swears the ply
sician knew of the residuaiy clause
III Colonel Swope's win. II is The con-
tention of the state that knowledge
OF this clause and the benefits Il
would bring to him and his wife,
caused the defendant to Kill Colonel
Swope.'
Frequently during Mr.. Walsh's
speech jurors wept. All one time four
Of them were crying. Neither Mrs.
Hyde nor Mrs Swope could conceal
their emotions as the numerous intri-
cate and CHASTITY details Of the case
We're laid bare.
Every chalge made by the state
against the physician, averred Mr..
Walsh, lacked connecting link TO
make proof of the allegation posi-
tive. This situation was due, he said,
10 the fact that the entire alleged
mystery" was based upon suspicious,
ialsehoods, exaggerations and the de-
sire of paid attorneys to make large
fees.
The cyanide feature OF the states
charges Mr. Walsh classified as one
eli the eleventh hour brand.
Suppose Colonel Swopes brains

you then say that because DR.. Hyde
bad a brace of revolvels in his office,
he was the murderer
