Col. Swope Poisoned

Il did not take the coroner's jury
in the Swope trial at independence
long to come to a decision last
week. The following verdict was
, rendered:
awe, the coroner's jury, duly
summoned, impaneled, sworn and
charged diligently to inquire into
and prove, present, make as to
how, by whom, or by what means
Thomas H. Swope, whose body we
have viewed, came to his death,
find from the evidence laid before
us, and from our knowledge that
said deceased came to death by
strychnine poisoning, and from the
evidence we believe said strych-
nine poisoning was administered in
capsule at $50 o'clock a. m. OF
the day he died, by the direction
of DR.. B. c. Hyde, whether with
felonious intent we, the jury are
unable to decide. Said deceased
came to his death at the residence
of Mrs. L. o. Swope, in Indepen-
dence, Jackson County, Mo-"
Following this a warrant was
issued for the arrest Of DR.. B.
c. Hyde. The testimony showed
that DR.. Hyde was to be bene-
ficiary of Col. Swope's millions,
that Col. Swope was planning to
donate a big sum to charity and
that DR.. Hyde was trying to pre-
vent this. That on the morning
of his death DR.. Hyde administer
ed q capsule to Col. Swope which
caused him to go into convulsions
in a few minutes, that strychnine
was found in the dead mans stom-
ach sufficient to kill him and more
than would have been administer
ed in case of illness All these
facts are very strong circumstan-
tial evidence of DR.. Hyde's guilt.
The other deaths and serious
cases of sickness in the Swope fam
lily may also later be traced to
DR.. Hyde if he is found guilty of
Col. Swope's murder.

a leading contemporary announced
a big piano contest. After several
weeks we are still in the field and
doing business every day. Last
Saturday was an unusually Gun

proved to us that the people know

In this respect Orders came thick

No specific reason is gwen for this
untoward change, but it is limited
that. like the panic of 1907, it has
been manufactured by the powers

Of gaining their desired ends in the

from raising wages or lowering
freight or passenger rates. In fact
a general rise in rates is predicted
all along the line.
