Kansas City, Mo, Feb. Is. - Miss
Pearl Kellar. the nurse who gave. the
most important testimony at the in
quest over Col. Thomas II. Swope, was
the first witness called today by the
special grand jury that Is investigating
the death of the millionaire. Miss
Kellar's evidence will probably occupy
the grand jury two days.
The testimony of DIR. Frank Hall, the
bacterilogist who assisted at the au-
topsy. has added TO the element of
doubt which it is believed will cause
the prosecuting attorney to subject
every witness before the grand jury to
severe course of questioning.
Organs Were Normal.
The physicians latest testimony was
that by his observations at the autopsy
he was convinced that the death of
Colonel~Swope might probably have re-
suited from cerebral hemorrhage, urae-
mic poisoning or congestion of the spin
al cord.
At the inquest he testified that the
brain and vital organs of Colonel
