man."
Such was the verdict in the trial of
Dr. B. Clark Hyde. accused OF the
murder of Col Thomas H. Swope. Kan
sas City. millionaire philanthropist.
1t was rendered at 1922 O'Clock Mon
day morning.
Doctor Hyde sat motionless as the
verdict was read.
AS the words of conviction were
spoken Mrs. Hyde broke down COM
pletely and tugged at the arms Of her
husband His two sisters, Mrs. Hop
kins and Miss Laura Hyde. mingled
their tears with hers, but the physi.
clan stoically and with the same fixed
expression Of the mouth, said not
word. For a time he was even un-
able to whisper a word Of comfort.
oh, Clark" cried Mrs. Hyde when
the verdict was read by Judge Lat
shaw.
She threw her arms about his neck
and wept silently. Then she patted
/ bar h,,a ho nd nm tho chaok
Doctor Hyde sat motionless.
He looked firmly at Judge Latshaw
while the verdict was being received.
AS the words imprisonment N the
State Penitentiary during his natural
lfe." we're pronounced, his eyes fell
to the floor.
Don't worry, dearie," he said to his
wife. as she clasped him in her arms.
Mrs. e. N. Hopkins and Miss Laura
Hyde. sisters Of the physician. looked
distressed but did not break down.
They tried to comfort Mrs. Hyde and
appear brave before her.
We shall hope for the best" they
said.
I'VE do not understand this verdict.
Clark Is innocent"
Il haven't lost hope" declared Doc
tor Hyde.
At 1915 O'Clock the jury raped
upon the door Of its room to indicate
that verdict had been reached.
From almost the first the majority
had been overwhelmingly for convic-
ton, 80 that when 1t became known
that an agreement had been reached
it was generally supposed that the
state had won its case. Judge Lat
shaw was on hand. He had been at
the court room since early morning.
