ARE ARGUING HYDE CASE

Kansas City, May ~. - When the
jury that are trying DR.. B. c. Hyde on
a charge of Staying Colonel Thomas H.
Swope, stepped into their box today
they faced eighteen hours of oratory.
Six attorneys, three for the defense
and three representing the state, were
yet to address them.
The attorneys were originally given
twenty hours in which to make their
final arguments. Assistant Prosecutor
Henry l.. Jost used two hours of the
states allotted time last night. Attor-
today, one of the states representa-.
tives having the floor last. For DR..
Hyde Frank p. Walsh, r. r. Brew
ster and John NJ. Lucas were SEIZED
uled 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,
Mr. Jost's address, which was not
completed until after o'clock last
night, was caustic. He characterized
Mr.. Hyde as a poisoner and a plotter
who was willing to kill his wife's rel
atives to get their money for himself.
Prior to Mr.. Jost's address, Judge
Lathshaw instructed the jury that it
must either find DR.. Hyde guilty OF
murder in the first degree or innocent
First degree murder is punishable by

souri,.
Indications are that the jury will re-
tire to consider its verdict Friday

ENGLAND Has A MINE HORROR
1885 Men Entombed Three Miles From
Surface of Pit.

Manchester, Eng, May 12.-An ex-
plosion in the Wellington coal mine
at Whitehaven during last night cut
off the exit from the 1856 miners who
were working below the surface.
Rescue parties succeeded today in
saving four men but were prevented
by gas from reaching the point where
most of the men were imprisoned.
Up to 1870 o'clock this afternoon
no further rescues had been accom-
plished. Every indication was that
the inner workings of the mine We're
on fire and there was the gravest ap-
prehension regarding the entombed
men.
Distracted crowds OF relatives sur
rounded the pit head and me scene
was distressing.
The colliery is owned by the Earl
of Lonsdale and its workings extend
four or five miles beneath the sea
The spot where the eighty-five
hewers and some fifty odd miners
were still imprisoned at the time of
the explosion is about three miles
from the shaft exit. The rescuers di-
rected their efforts to tunnelling a
road through the accumulations block
ing the passage way and by mid-after-
noon had reached a point within a
mile of their goal. Progress was slow
