Capsules Taken From His Office.

DR.. Hyde, just before concluding his
direct testimony charged that cyanide
capsules had been taken from his
office while he was in New York last
December. 1t was the time he went
to bring Miss Lucy Lee Swope back to
the house Of mourning. He said that
the poison and culture tubes were
missing upon his return. This evidence
was ELECTED as the groundwork for the
showing of a plot for the undoing OF
DR.. Hyde. His attorneys have on.
tended from the start by inference and
direct accusation that the grand jury
proceedings and the post mortems and
inquests which preceded them were
the outgrowth of a conspiracy to wreck
the reputation OF the physician who
married into the Swope family.
Answering the questions of his at.
torney, Frank p. walsh, he was quiet
and self-cOntained, his only show OF
nervousness being the opening and

handkerchief was claspcd.

His Memory Failed.

The physician admitted that for years
he had made a specially of a certain
treatment in which nitrate Of silver is
employed and that for all OF that time
he was accustomed to remove the
stains from his fingers with cyanide Of
potassium. He said it irritates less
than bichloride of mercury. which
some surgeons use. He could not re.
member where he had purchased it,
but knew that he had it powdered and
put into capsules because IL stored in
metallic boxes it corrodes the metal
and if left open it volatalizes readily.
Druggists keep it in glass bottles,
but DR.. Hyde did not take glass into
his r~eckonings.

Stella Swope On Stand.

And DR.. Hyde said that he had never
given any medicines TO any members
Of the Swope family during the
typhoid fever epidemic there. but
Stella Swope told Of taking a capsule
from the physician who Instructed her
to hand it to Miss Gordon, one OF the
nurses. to give to Sarah Swope in case
the patient became restless during the
night. That was on December 10 when
Sarah Swope was first stricken with
the fever.
Mrs. Hyde said that she was with
DIR. Hyde in Margaret Swope's room
Just before the giving Of the hypo-
dermic injection Of camphorated oil
and that she entered the i'm
mediatcly afterward, but Miss Gordon
testified that she and DR.. and Mrs.
Hyde had dinner together that even

Instructions of Court.

Under the instructions Of the court
the jury must either acquit DR.. Hyde
or find him guilty OF murder in the
first degree. If it finds him guilty the
jury may condemn him to death or
assess his punishment at a life term in
the pcnitentiary.
Henry l.. Jost, assistant prosecutor
made the opening statement.
Bit by bit the states attorneys
tried to tear to shreds the testimony
Of DR.. -. Clark Hyde and his wife,
Mrs. Frances Swope Hyde.
The little things they explained away
on the witness stand were shown
in n different light by rebuttal evil
dence offered by the prosecution.
For instance, Mrs. Hyde said that
her brother, Thomas, was not out OF
the house on the night of December

capsules in the snow, but Mrs. James

BOYS TRY ID TUNNEL

Armed with a broken shovel and q prospector's pick, a crowd of urch- ins nearly succeeded in tunnelinS into the New AirdOme theater last evening Just as one little curly head. popped through the opening they had managed to effect under the wall of the picture house, the police swooped down and took the gang to the police station. There Night Captain Corners assumed his most terrifying expression and pro ceeded to adnonish the boys for tine terrible crime they had committed. And then they were allowed to go with a warning that a life sentence awaited the lad who even dared think of such thing again,
 It all came about, so the boys say, through a wholesome desire to see the moving pictures. They hadn't a penny between them and the pie lures were being shown aggraVating- Iy near. There was only the wall between them and an hour of solid amusement. And so somebody struck upon the bright idea of constructing a tunnel The venture had about succeeded when the police brought

 Electricity is furnished by the Pa cific Gas X Electric company, but should the current from this source be cut off. power will be generated by a gasoline engine, shortly to be installed A mercury arc rectifier changes the current from alternating to direct From there it is discharged into the storage battery, which is one of the largest in Arizona. This bat tery has a capacity of 240 amperes per hour. When charged to its full storage capacity it will operate 5000 phone forty-eight hours. The ca pacity of the system is 4,O00 phones.
 The service given by the auto matic system is as near secret as telephone service can possibly be. No one can cut in and listen except the wire chief and he is always So busy that he has not time to eavesdrop, even if he should so desire. Every week every machine, every switch and in fact every part of the equiment is thoroughly tested, to make certain that it is in good work ing order.
 Chicago is now installing an auto matic system exactly like that of Phoenix, though on much larger scale. of course. Before he came to this city, Mir. Snowdon helped to in stall an automatic system in Omaha, and he says that it cannot be com pared with the one put in by the 1 Overland company.

MOST MODERN PHONE
 SYSTEM IN WORLD
Phoenix Has 1t and Overland Com
 pany Owns 1t.

Probably not two Phocnicians in q thousand know that this city now has the most Up-t date telephone system in the world. Unbelievable as this may sound to those not posted on the situation, it is a fact, nevertheless.
 The local system of the Overland Telephone company is the most mod ern yet installed anywhere. It has numerous Improvements over other automatic systems installed within the last few years Improvements and inventions in automatic telephony have been coming so thick and fast that telephone men themselves can not keep track of them all
 When the promoters of the Home Telephone company, later consolidated with the Oveland, started out to give Phoenix q new phone system they decided that they would give the city the best to be had. The very latest apparatus was purchased and as a result Phoenix can now claim the quickest, most reliable and most sat isfactors- telephone service of any city in the world.
 Telephones are d necessity of mod ern business and social life. The main object of telephones is to save time, and it naturally follows that the quicker the service the more val uable it is The Overland people have kept this in mind. Their goal has ever been to eliminate needless

waste of time by their subscribers Their phones certainly work rapidly The average time required to take down a receiver, shift the disk to the proper numbers and thus ring the bell at the other end is three sec onds
 At the present time service is be- ing given to about 250 subscribers All these phones are within a dis trict bounded by Jefferson and Adams streets, Third avenue and Second street Within d few days the com pany's linemen will begin to ''cut in phones in the residence sections of the city
 Six hundred phones are actually on the walls of dwellings and offices, but over 800 have not been connected with the cables. The company has over a thousand subscribers. and is rapidly signing up others. The off oers suggest that it will he advisable ! to do so right away. so that the in strumcnts can be connected at the time the workmen are making their first tour of the city for that pur- pose Those who delay until after the worllmen have passed their par ticular sections will have to wait until all the instruments already in stalled have been connected and cut | in.
 The company also offers to wire any house in process of construction | free of charge. This does not mean ! that the owner must subscribe for a i phone. The company makes the of l fer because it is easier to conceal wires while house is being built than after it's completion.
 A tour of the Overland automatic | exchange, located at Third avenue and Adams street, will give one some | idea of the perfection to which the l telephone has been brought. The l machinery seems very complicated to ] the ordinary mind, but C. R. Snow don, the manager, assures the visitor that it is really very simple
 The basic principle of automatic telephony is electro magnetism. Elec- tro- magnets play a large part in the operation of the delicate, but accu- rate. machinery.
 The machines are arranged in tiers in glass cases, and can easily be seer in operation. one knows when g subscriber is calling a number, fol a machine goes click buzzes mo- ment. and then settles back into It's normal condition.

Of Miss Stone and Miss Foster, he said that they were no doubt chosen for this duty from the staff of the Holloway Prison as representative of an able and well disciplined band of women workers whose life is spent behind prison walls.
 Their daily duties" said Mir. Fra. ser, are of the most trying and responsible nature. and their exper- fence of the tragedy and comedy of prison life is unequaled, for women as prisoners are far more difficult to deal with than are men.
 Prison wardresses, like poets. are born. not made. The position demands rare qualities of tact and good tenn per, combined with physical strength in case-as sometimes happens-a prisoner proves troublesome.
 Vacancies in the staff of a prison are seldom, if ever, advertised, for candidates must be carefully selected from the ranks of women whose special training and experience fit them for the work.
 Women attendants from asylums are often chosen, as well as the wid- ows or daughters of wardens, police men, sailors and soldiers, whose knowledge of discipline and order usu- ally proves very serviceable Holloway Prison where there arc usually about 500 or more women | awaiting trial or serving short sen tences, is the chief London center. and here the suffragists have given the WardreSSeS a wide and VariCI eX- perience of female human nature.
