HEARST REPLIES TO
MAYOR GAYNOR
CALLS CHARGES PETTY AND
cHILDlSH-ASKS SEVERAL
QUESTIONS.

New York, April 30.-Mayor Gaynor
and w. r. Hearst both issued state
ments last night On the issue of yer
acity raised Thursday night at the
Associated Press and Newspaper Pub
fishers association, when the mayor
said that Mr.. Hearst was a forger and
faisifer. Mr.. Hearst says that Mr.
Gaynor's attack on the American is
disengenuous and wholly untruthful
He says that Mr. Gaynors charge that
his paper, the American, left the date
off the facsimile of a certain check
crediting thus an expenditure to Mr..
Gaynor's administration which was
authorized previous to it lis a pretty
bubble for an important man, or
rather bubble for petty man who
holds an important position"
He says if the gentlemen who edit
the American had desired to omit the
date Of any document they would not
have been SO childish as to print it
conspicuously in the type while leav-
ing it out of the picture.
Mr.. Hearst then asks a number OF
questions which he considers that
Mr.. Gaynor, by calling up the print
ing of the check matter, is attempt
ing to avoid discussing. All relate to
New York politics. He then says:
To your blatherskite abuse, | am
Indifferent, for in all such matters I
consider the source and the natural
irritation that a public official feels
in being exposed.
The people are going eventually
to find you out and repudiate you
Mr.. Hearst says that Mr.. Gaynor
should explain why a $4,000 warrant,
the one mentioned by Mr.. Gaynor as
forged by the Hearst papers, was
paid by his administration after
former administration had held it up
as exorbitant, This payment was to
Daniel Callahan of Tammany hall for
legal services in the franchise tax
suits.

HE BELIEVES HYDE's FATHER

Kansas City, April 30.-With the
ologist, to the witness stand yester
day, the Hyde murder trial entered
into the complicated realm of expert
medical testimony.
DR.. Hall assisted DR.. Ludwig HEX
toen of Chicago in making the
autopsy on Colonel Thomas H.
Swope's body, and conducted the in
vestigation to determine if possible,
the source of the typhoid epidemic IN
the Swope residence.
DR.. Hall said, on direct examina-
the organs of Colonel Swope which
he believed would have accounted for
his death from natural causes. He
said that he did not believe that
Swope died of apoplexy.
The state put on a long hypotheti-
cal question in which the symptoms
of Swope were fully described. Hall
replied that in that case. he would
say the patient had been poisoned.
The defense then asked a hypo-
thetical question, emphasizing the old
age and weakness of Colonel Swope,
ant queried: provided it was not
known that poison had been admins
tered would witness say that death
had resulted from poisoning?
DR.. Hall replied, mo" He said
that he found nothing to account for
the epidemic.
