LATE MILLIONAIRE DEATH

CAPSULE OF STRYCHNINl GIVEN
Findings Had No Pereeptible Effect
Upon Accused Physician, Who
Took His Lawyers out to Supper
Soon After Report Was Read.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 9.-Col-
Thomas Swope came to his death by
reason of strychnine administered in
capsule by DR.. B. c. Hyde, husband Of
the millionaire's niece, according to
the verdict of the Coronor's jury in In
dependence today.
Whether the drug was administered
with felonious intent, the jury said in
its verdict, it was unable to deter.
mine.
The jury was out little more than an
hour. The greater part of this time
was devoted to discussing the case.
But one ballot was necessary to agree
upon verdict.
Although there were numerous and
hurried consultations between attor-
neys for the State and DR.. Hyde and
his legal advisers, and rumors regard
ing probable prosecution were plenti-
full, tonight, the case stands just where
it did when the Coronor's jury return
ed its verdict.
Virgil Conkling, the prosecutor, re-
fused to discuss his plans for the fu-
ture He said positively, however,
that he would confer with his associ-
ates in the prosecutors Office before
he took any action. He and Henry
L. Jost, First Assistant Circuit Attor-
ney, who has done most Of the investi-
eating for the States Attorneys Of

1t is said tonight that B. H. Zwart,
the Coroner, will begin an inquest
over Chrisman Swope's body as soon
as the official report of the physicians
who are examining the stomach and
liver is received. ]. E. Trogden, the
Coroner's attorney, would not CON-
NIT himself on this rumor.
DR.. Hyde and his attorneys, John
M. Cleary and Frank P. Walsh, spent
the evening together at the physi-
clans home. They made no state
ment. Mrs. Hyde is seriously i'll, and
the physician is devoting all his spare
time to her
The suit that DR. Hyde has pending
against John G. Paxton, the attorney;
DR.. Frank Hall and DR.. Edward L.
for damages for 100000 for
ALLEGED libel, will be dismissed if DR..
HYDE is pressed for depositions in the
case, it is reported tonight. 1t is ex-
pected that the deposition contest
which waged so fiercely last week will
begin anew now that the Coroner's in
quest is over.
If Dr. Hyde is ruffled by the YER
dict he is concealing his feelings. He
was present when the verdict was re-
turned. After hearing it read he
turned to his attorney, John M.
Cleary, and asked:
What does it mean?"
Mr.. Cleary explained the verdict.
Il see," he simply said.
Then he asked his attorneys to go |
to lunch with him. A moment later
hey left the building.
The inquest was ended at noon. At
that timetthe sensational inquiry into
the cause that led to the death OF
Coll. Thomas Hunton Swope, Kansas
Iity's millionaire philanthropist, was
given over to the six jurymen.
