Mrs. B. c. Hyde. wife of the physi-
clan accused of the murder Of
Colonel Thomas H. Swope, prob
ably Is the only person here today
who does not know her husband
has been arrested for the supposed
crime.
Mrs. Hyde is seriously Ill, and all
information concerning the recent
inquest into the death of the mil
lionaire philanthropist and the ar
rest Of DR.. Hyde has been withheld
from her.
DR.. Hyde, anticipating the mur-
der charge, had prepared for OBJ.
tanning bail, and when arrested re-
mained In custody only long
enough for his attorneys to present
his bonds to the court. Hyde was
out on bail today, and consulted
his attorneys. He appeared cheer
ful and showed no trace of unrest,
although expressing anxiety as to
the condition Of his wife.
Prosecutor Conkling made no OBJ
lection to Hyde's release on bail,
and, in fact, endorsed the motion
of the defendants attorneys. Conk-
ling's action caused surprise, as it
is unusual for the prosecutor to
consent to release of those charged
with murder in the first degree.

REAL NATURE CONCEALED.
LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE real ma.
ture of the Illness of the empress of
all the Russias told in dispatches to-
day probably Is concealed by the
official censors at st. Petersburg
and Eydtkuhnen.
The illness of the czarina Is pop
ularly believed to be an affection OF
the brain, caused by her living In
constant fear of anarchistic and
nihilistic plots. Scarcely day
passes but what authentic or falla-
cious information concerning plots
to destroy the czar or some member
of the royal family reaches the
palace.
CONSTANT PLOTS WORRY HER.
Formerly these threats and plans
of those who would overthrow roy
atty were told to the empress. Now
they are kept. carefully from her.
The constant fear that her husband,
her children or herself might be
killed at any time Is said to have
preyed on her mind with dire effect.
Less than a year ago the czarina's
physicians ordered her to journey
to the Mediterranean to recover
her health, with the. alternative oi
complete loss of reason II she re-
fused. The empress was willing to
go until she learned that reasons OF
state would compel her to leave the
czar and czarovitch at home.
The empress refused absolutely
to listen to the arguments of hei
physicians or her family. She would
not leave her husband and children
to what she believed ultimately will
be violent deaths. :.

change her mind and for the pur
pose of taking advantage OF hel
decision before she becomes fright
