JURY FINDS COLONEL
SWOPE WAS POISONED
Coroner's Jurors Say Death Was
Caused by Capsule Given
by Hyde.
EXPRESS DOUBT OF INTENT.
Verdict Follows Testimony Given by
Nurse of Deceased Kansas
City Capitalist.

Colonel Thomas H. Swope came to
his death by reason of strychnine ad-
ministered in capsule by DR.. B. c..
Hyde, husband of the millionaire's
niece, according to the verdict of the
coroner's jury in Independence, Mo.
Whether the drug was administered
with felonious intent the jury declared
it was unable to determine. The jury
was out but a little more than an hour.
The greater part of this time was de-
voted to discussing the case. But one
ballot was necessary to agree upon a
verdict.
With the testimony of Miss Pearl
Keller, nurse; of Dr. Ludwig HEX
toen of Chicago, of Mrs. Logan H.
Swope and of Dr. Frank Hall in the
inquest over the body of Colonel Swope
in Independence, Mo, came develop
ments in the mystery of the million
aires death more startling than any
facts heretofore produced.
Miss Keller's detailed story of the
last moments of Colonel Swope's life,
replete with features of happenings in
the Swope household, produced a sensa-
ton. Miss Keller testified that i'm
mediately following the death of Colo
mel Thomas Moss Hunton, DR.. B. C.
Hyde asked her to use her influence
with Colonel Swope to have him ap-
pointed administrator of the Swope es-
tate. Mr., Hunton had been the ad-
ministrator.
On the morning of Colonel Swope's
death, the nurse said, she gave him
three-grain capsule, supposed to con-
tain dyspepsia medicine. This she did
at the direction of DR.. Hyde. Twenty
minutes later Colonel Swope was in
convulsion. His death soon followed.
Five minutes after Colonel Swope's
death, according to the witness, DR..
Hyde appeared, and with Attorney
John G. Paxton secured Colonel
Swope's will from his vest pocket.
DR.. Hektoen testified that one-sixth
of a grain of strychnine was found i'll
one-seventh part of Colonel Swope's
liver. He believed there might be a
grain in the entire organ. Half
grain would cause death.

SHIP SINKS; 1855 DIE
NEAR MINORCA REEFS
The Transatlantic Liner General
Chanzy Is Wrecked in the
Mediterranean.
ONLY ONE PERSON ESCAPES.
French Steamer Helpless in Worst
Storm in Years-No Amer
leans Aboard.

Driven helplessly from her course,
in one Of the widest storms that has
swept The Mediterranean Sea in forty
years, the French Transatlantic
Steamship Company's steamer General
Chanzy crashed at full speed, in the
dead of night, on the treacherous reefs
near the Island of Minorca, and all
but one of the 157 souls on board per-
ished.
The sole survivor is an Algerian Gus
toms official, Marcel Rodel, who was
rescued by a fisherman and who lies
in the hospital at Ciudadela raving as
result of the tortures through which
he passed and is unable to give an ac-
count of the disaster.
In the ships company there were
eighty-seVen passengers, of whom
thirty were in the first cabin. The
crew numbered seventy. 1t is not
thought that any Americans were on
board the liner. The ship was in com
mand of Captain Cayol, one of the
most careful officers of the line. In
his long experience he had never be-
fore met with an accident. He had in
tended to retire from the service in
the near future
The passengers of the Chanzy were
mostly French officers and officials re
turning to their posts in Algeria, ac-
companied by their wives and chill
dren; few soldiers, some Italians
and Turks and one priest. The only
Anglo-Saxon names on the passenger
list were Green and StakeIy. They
were members of an opera troupe of
eleven which had been engaged to sing
at the Casino in Algiers.
The Chanzy is a total wreck. Among
the victims was the celebrated Paris
ian music hall singer, Francis Dufor,
as well as other prominent music hall
favorites.
The General Chanzy struck at 900
o'clock at night after Captain Cayol,
with all his experience, had been I'M
able to cope with the tempest of al
most unprecedented violence. Other
ships in the neighborhood had safely
ridden out the storm, but the Chanzy
fell prey to the elements, was lifted
off her course through the Balearic
archipelago and brought up on the
coast of Minorea in the vicinity of
Ciudadela. Fishermen at daybreak
picked up Rodel clinging to piece of
wreekage.
The French consul at Ciudade1a re-
ports that large numbers of bodies are
floating at sea, but that the storm con-
tinues, making impossible their re-
covery. The hull OF the steamer is said
to bear evidence that an explosion,
probably of the boilers, occurred.

CONSEQUENCE OF BIG PRICES.
High Cost Of Living in New York
Cause Of Suicides.

Effects Of the increased cost of liz
ing upon the working classes are
shown in the largely expanded mum
Der of applications to the city of New
York, for aid as disclosed in figures
made public the other day. The rising
tide of inability to make income keep
pace with living expenses is indicated
in the fact that during the last twelve
months more than $4,000 persons
sought relief from the charities de
partment, an increase of more than 80
per cent in five years. There were
1895 applications in 1904. In seven
years, the number of persons seeking
shelter in the city lodging house has
increased until last year 102,4OO per-
sons applied, an increase of more than
100 per cent for the period. From liz
In 1906, the daily average has risen III
three years to 2S1. Suicides have in
creased nearly 90 per cent from 1904
to 1909.
