mantle to folly.

at the theater after singing in the
part Of Desdemona. her passionate
soul still quiverins with the emotion
of the part and the tears and applause
of her listeners. A person entered
and begged her to go to her mother
who had been taken Ill. A carriage.
not her own, was at the door, She
was whirled through the streets and
led. much to her surprise and fear
into strange house and to an excel
lent boudoir. hung and carpeted with
rose colorcd silk.
Here the beautiful sonEStress was
left alone after being assured by her
attendants that her mother was WELL
that the message was a SubterfuEe and
that her captivity would last until she
sang something.
On low seat sat Tyre such as
that which thrilled in Malibran's fin
gers as she sang Desdemona's touch
ing song.
At first she determined to resist, but
after short time her mind reverted
to the evening. and almost uucon
sciously she took up the instrument
and sang the Romance de Sauie." AS
she concluded sounds Of enthusiastic,
applause and trembling accents of de.
light came to her through the sill

by liveried servants to her carriage
and to her home.
The next morning she found on her
table caSket containing q magnifi-
cent pair of earrings. and inside the
cover. written in diamonds, was the
word AIerci." But the event re-
manned a mystery to her forever

THE HYDE
TRIAL IS ON

Kansas City. Mo-, April 1S.-Pict
uring DR.. Il. c. Hyde as a man wnose
evil propensities led him during boy
hood to torture animals, in later life
to abuse the poor and helpless and
in the fulaess of professional success
to conceive the most colossal murder
plot in the history of criminality, At
tormey James A. Reed made the op
ening statement for the State in the
physicians trial for the murder OF
Colonel Swope.
In leading mp to the motive which
the State claims caused the alleged
murders, Mr.. Reed asserted that the
over-powering greed for money nad
manifested itself in DIR. Hyde. With
rhe purpose of adding to his wealth.
Mr. Reed said DIR. Hyde made love to
women and then obtained money from
them.
The deaths of Col. Swope, Chrisman
Swope and James Moss Hunton were
dealt with in detail. Clarges that DR..
Is de was responsible for the spread
of typhoid fever in the Swope house
hold and that on three occasions he
tried to poison Margaret Swope, com
posed a considerable part of his ad-
dress.
Mr.. Reed said tnat the State would
show that Colonel Swope was pois-
oned with cyanide of potassium. as
well as with stryhnnine and that both
poisons We're given TO Chris-nan
Swope. As 10 Hunton, Mr.. Reed claim
ed that he was practically bled to
death by Dr. Hyde, who was indicted
for negligently killing Hunton by
bleeding.
Eefore tae jury was sworn, Mr..
Colkling said he expected to cab on
Dr. Twymal to testify as soon as he
is able to be about, provided the case
is not closed by that time.
After prosecutor Conkling had read
the Indictment. Attorney Reed. for
tle prosecution, objected to the pres
ence of Mrs. Hyde in the court room
during the making of the opening
statements by the prosecution. Judge
Lash ruled that Mrs. Hyde and Mrs.
Swope might remain in the court
room. but that the other witnesses
: lould be excluded.
At the first mention by Mr.. Reed
of DR. Hyde's alleged intention to ex-
terminate the entire Swope family.
the attorneys for Hyde made strenu-
Gus objections.
I'VE object to the hired counsel in
this case making such false state
-nents." said attorney Walsh. AN at
tempt will be made to introduce evi-
dence gathered by highly paid coun-
sci. detectives. liars and perhaps
who entered the house and
of this man while he was
absent from the city. Such testimony
as they will give is wholly false and
will me iisproved. But if a review Of
il is permitted to creep into the
minds of the Jurors it will create
false impression. which will remain"
The objection was overruled.
