Denial of DR.. and Mrs.
Hyde's Stories
DR.. HYDE ADMITTED TWO BAD
FEATURES N YESTERDAYS STORY
Could Only Name One Place Where He
Had Purchased Cyanide in Ten
Years-TwO Hundred Culture Tubes
Had Been Purchased.

Kansas City, May 11-More than a
dozen witnesses appeared mt the
criminal court building today to give
rebuttal testimony for the state in
the trial of Dr. Hyde for murder. Ev-
cry nurse that gave direct testimony
for the prosecution was present to
again take the stand. In the stories
of DIR. and Mrs. Hyde there were fire.
narratives. Prosecutor Conkling Is
determined that these shall not go
unchallenged.
Determined attacks were made by
the state today upon Mrs. B. c. Hyde's
story regarding the whereabouts of
her brother Thomas on December 18,
and the testimony of DR.. Hyde's
chemists in relation to the formation
OF hydrocyanic gas in corpse. Mrs.
James H. Clinton Of independence
swore that Swope. telephoned DR..
Twyman from her residence on De-
cember 1s at the time when Mrs.
Hyde had testified he was at Mrs.
Swope's residence with her. Mrs.
Clinton said Swope held something in
his hand while telephoning. Two
scientists. Prof. Paul Schweitzer and
Prof. H., F. Cady, swore it was impos-
sible for the amalgamation of formal
delyde and ammonia to produce hy-
drocynic acid in the body of dead
person.
The general impression is that the
rebuttal testimony, the arguments of
counsel and the judges instructions
will be completed by Saturday. Hyde
is confident he is to be set free and
with this end in view, he Is making
plans for tho future. IS, ....n
At the close Of a long and arduous
cross examination Of DIR. Hyde by
Prosecutor Conkling late yesterday,
the defense rested.
Every phase Of the case were gone
into in the physicians examination.
Il won't take the stand unless I
can tell, it ALL" he told his attorneys.
That DR.. Hyde could not name a
druggist othe rthan Hugo Brecklin
Of whom he had purchased cyanide in
the ten years the physician said he
had used it, was regarded by the state
as the most valuable development of
the interrogation. DR.. Hyde only be-
/ gan to purchase cyanide Of Brecklin
last fall.
The state laid great stress on the
fact that DR.. Hyde obtained more than
two hundred culture tubes for the
reception Of germs.
The defense contends this only
proves the physicians assertion that
he was stocking up for laboratory
Mr.. Conkling's examination was rap
i'd and replete with references to
cyanide. DR.. Hyde became irritated
under the questioning and at times
waxed sarcastic The court repri-
manded the witness once. and Mr.
Conkling also was admonished sever
al times by Judge Latshaw.
On direct examination, DR.. Hyde
said that he never poisoned any mem.
bers of the Swope family; that he
never dropped capsules in street
! in Independence. as Thomas H. Swope
Jr, claimed to have seen him do; that
he used cyanide mainly for killing
bugs in his office. and that he inject.

Girl Students Won Their Hearts.

The school of household economies was thrown
open to the visitors, and Miss Rosa Bouton and her
assistants took much joy in explaining everything to
the enthusiastic men and the obseryant women After
ward the whole crowd was seated in the dining room
of the Home Economics building and was permitted
to test the quality of the cooking done by the girls
A course dinner was served, ranging from consomme
to floating island and it considerably
better than good hot biscuits especially caught
the fancy Of the hungry ones while the real table
nosseurs gave ecstatic praise to fruit salad which
really calculated to tempt a surfelted appe-
tite. The wise editor of The Twentieth Century
Farmer left the table after the salad had served
with the remark that he did not wish lose the tase
thereof by attempting anything further.
AT the close of the dinner Dean Burnett called on
Regent COPELAND of the university who has long
standing friendship with most of the stockmen Mr..
COPELAND expressed the pleasure of himself and his
fellow regents and Of all with the university
and the Agricultural school, over the visit of the
Omaha business men. He pointed out that personal
inspection by leading and influential business men of
the work being done is not frequent ought to
be, and he assured them that most hearty welcome
would always be given to similar parties
I'VE want the business men, as well as the farm
ers to know what is being done in every department
OF the university said Mr. COPELAND 1T is the peo-
pies institution, and the widely the knowledge
of its work is disseminated the better we will like it,
Some one has said the man is lScking in magma
ton who cannot look ahead for least fifty years and
the thought is right This work not for today or
tomorrow only, but is for the ages; and as its power
for good is encouraged and developed so will be its
accomplishments We are delighted to have such a
delegation of keen, intelligent and influential business
men come and view for themselves what We have
what We are doing and hear OF our plans The Ne
braska State university is capable OF great things If
the people OF the state will give it the right kind Of
support and encouragement, and hope that visits
like this will become regular thing because we know
they viii result in Unreasonable good 10 all con
eerned The demands on this institution by students
cannot be adequately met with the present facilities

Dinner over, street took the delegation to
Twelfth and o streets, where the university
band lined up to greet the Omaha party,
now exuberant and in a shouting mood the
most hospitable treatment given them. The whole
hundred, included, fell in behind the band and
marched to the of the foot ball battle, where
they greeted with enthusiastic welcome. Seats
had been reserved together in section and during
the game the Omaha folks were heard from many "a
time. They had brought onto the gridirOn pig TO be
owned by anybody that could catch It in the the
stockmen thought 10 ensue when the pig was
released The gargantuan grows of the rooters got
the nerves Of Mr. Pig to such extent that he abso
lutely refused to He had to be driven of the
field IA disgrace, at funeral gait.
IF that pig had to root he would surely die" was
the sage observation OF Regent Whitmore.
When the Omaha party had rooted the Cornhusk-
to a signal victory they spread Lincoln
to visit their friends for hour two, for every
Omaha citizen has good many friends in Lincoln,
contrary TO the intimstion Of the standing joke.

Editor McCulloch Responds.

Bruce McCulloch editor of the Daily Drovers

fecitous style He assured the regents and the pro-
fessors of the pleasure and profit they had all Received
from the inspection of the plant and the classes and
exhibits they had seen and paid especially graceful
tribute the young women who had prepared and
served the dinner just disposed of.

cooperation of the sockmen in your efforts and plans

Mr. McCuoch. Our interest in this school is par
ticularly keen, and we see the results of its work

Dean Burnett went briefly into various details
touching the regular special courses of study en-
phaszing the thought that the practical part Of agri
Culture is always kept uppermost, while the school
work is all directed to fitting the students by broad,
generous education, to most prohtably apply them
selves to the development of scientific farming and
stock raising. 1t a decided pleasure to be able
to that over so per cent Of the students taking
the courses go back to the farm.
The dean told the stockmen of the short

who cannot attend the institution regularly and
made them understand that the Nebraska Agricultural
school, while handicapped for lack of funds and
commodations sufficient to realize its possibilities is
still not by any means Tagging
Prof. Hacker in charge OF dairying, followed the
dean in concise account of the plan which his de-
partment is conducted and the visitors then

head OF every stall was card giving age and milk

While the average farm produces about 1926
pounds of butter fat year. the herd shows an
average OF better than 400 pounds, and some extra
good members of the herd coo pounds.
From the dairy barns the visitors were taken

for it properly. how to assemble machines and the
