Slowly the doors of mystery have
been creaking on their hinges; inch
by inch the light of inquiry has
begun searching the darkness, which
for weeks has surrounded the death
of Thomas Hunton Swope, but this
morning when Coroner 3. H. Zwart
called for DR.. 3. c. Hyde to take
stand as witness his attor
ney refused to allow him to testify
and the prosecution was blocked for
the time being.
Or. Ludwig Hektoenu expert, tes-
titled at the inquest of Col. Swope
that after DR.. HaInes had made a
preliminary examination Of the liver
Of Col. swope, the evidence of
strychnine were present In such
quantity that II was believed advisa-
BILE to call in another scientist as a
precautionary measure.
DR.. Hektoen was questioned close
ly regarding the amount Of strych-
nine necessary to produce death. He
said that one-haIf grain generally
caused death.
"If person had taken strych-
nine in small quantities would a
trace of 1t be found In the liver"
he was asked.
"Yes, there would be a slight trace,
but not the large quantity found in
Colonel swope's liver" answered the
witness.
"How long would man live af-
ter taking one-srain of strychnineT'
one of the jurors asked.
"Not very long," was the reply.
"of course the time varies In diff
ferent cases."

GENERAL NEWS NOTES

cry City, Mo. The match is the re,
suit of an automobile romance. Mr.
Culbetson, the only son of wealthy
parents, was the only young man in
the Benton City neighborhood who
could afford a touring car. In his
machine he often passed the school
building in Benton City.
His passing and re-passing became
more frequent. as 1t was noticed that
the young lady teacher became more
and interested in him. II was not
long after an introduction that the
young mans tours by, the school
house were accompanied by signals,
and then the young lady schoolma am
was occasionally seen in the car
with Mr.. Culbertson, as he spun
over the country roads of the neigh
borhood visiting their mutual friends,
but not till the engagement of the
young couple was recently announc-
ed in the society columns Of
the Mexico papers did their friends
realize the result of the automobile
courtship.
Miss Baker is charming young
lady. Her parents are dead and she
makes her home with a near rel
ative in Montgomery City. The
groom is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Culbertson, of this county.
The ceremony will be performed by
Rev. Bone, of Montgomery City, and
will be largely attended by many
relative and friends of both the con-
tracing parties from various parts
of the state.
