THEATER GOERS SEE MAN
LEAP TO AWFUL DEATH

SALT LAKE, Feb. S.-Coming from
the mock tragedy of a moving picture
show, a crowd on Third South street
was Mortified by a real tragedy tonight.
A large object hurtling from the sky
fell upon tn esidewalk and lay at the
feet of the pleasure seekers. 1t was
the crushed and bleeding body Of a
man.
The victim is believed to be George
Johnston of Denver. He had been
prowling about the alleys in the bust
ness sec ion and two policemen were
looking for him as a suspicious charac-
ter. In his flight he knocked down a
night Waterman and finally climbed
a fire escape to the roof of a theatre.
The officers lost the trail and were
still looking for the fugitive when
the screams in front of the building
explained his disappearance. Johns
ton had evidently reached the roof
and jumped to the sidewalk three
stories below He died on the way

KANSAS CITY, Feb. S.-With the
testimony of Miss Pearl Keller, a
nurse; of Dr. Ludwig Hektoen; of Mrs.
Logan H. Swope and DR.. Frank Hall
in the inquest over the body Of the
late Colonel Swope in Independence
today, came developments in the mys-
terry of the millioniare's death more
startling than any facts heretofore
adduced
Miss Keller's detailed story of the
last moments of Colonel Swope's life,
replete with startling features of hap
penings In the Swope household, pro-
duced a sensation. So carefully had
her story been guarded that, although
much has been written and rumored
about the case, not until today had
any one outside the immediate cir
Gle interested in the inquiry heard her
narrative.
Testimony of Nurse.
Miss Keller testified that:
Immediately following the death of
Colonel Thomas Moss Hunton. DR.. B.
C. Hyde asked here to use her in
f1uence with Colonel Swope to have
him appointed administrator of the
Swope estate Mr.. Hunton had been
the administrator.
On the morning of Colonel Swope's
death, she gave him a three grain
capsule, supposed to contain dyspepsia
medicine. This she did at the direction
of DR. Hyde Twenty minutes later
Colonel Swope was in a CONFUSION.
His death soon followed.
Five minutes after Colonel Swope's
death, DR.. Hyde appeared and, with
Attorney John G. Paxton, took Colonel
Swope's will from his vest pocket
DIR. Hektoen testified that:
"One- sixth of a grain of strychnine
was found in one-seventh part of Col
oned Swope's liver. He believed that
there might be a grain in the entire
organ. Half a grain would cause
death. Traces of strychnine were also
found in the stomach.
Might Inject Strychnine.
"Strychnine might have been injec-
ted into the body after death.
He did not believe the taking of
medicine containing strychnine would
leave as much as a grain of the poi
son in the liver"
Mrs. Swope testified that DR.. Hyde
knew of Colonel Swopes intention to
give $1,500,000 to charity and of his
plan to change his will to this effect
She also said that Colonel Swope had
told DR.. Hyde he had planned to give
Thomas Swope the largest part of his
estate. She denied she entertained any
i'll feeting against DR.. Hyde.
DR.. Frank Hall said he was abso-
lutely certain Colonel Swope did not
die from cerebral hemorrhage or OPP
oplexy.
