personal disputes, the house commit

Swasey of Maine.
The Democrats are greatly wrought

opposition when 1t reaches the house.
Representative Spight, of Missis-

MRS. HYDE VISITS JAIL.
For First Time in Her Life Looks
Through Prison Bars.

Kansas City. May 20.-For the first
time in her life Mrs Frances Hyde
looked through the bars in the county
Jail yesterday afternoon at a prisoner.
The prisoner was her husband. DR.. B.
Clark Hyde, convicted of the murder
of Col. Thomas H. Swope. The wife
of the convicted physician arrived at
the county Jail at $3.50 o'clock with
Frank Walsh and John Cleary. attor-
neys for Doctor Hyde.
Mrs. Hyde looked nervously about
as the big iron doors closed behind
her and the inside jailer directed her
to the first flight of stairs she had to
climb. AT the top of the first flight
she expected to see her husband there.
Greeted Her With MY Honey
The deputy marshal indicated an
other flight of stairs leading to the
third floor and UP these Mrs. Hyde
trudged, looking expectantly toward
the head of the stairs as if she expect
ed Doctor Hyde to meet her there
But he was denied that privilege. An
other door was opened, admitting her
to narrow passage leading along the
tier of cells on the outside. She went
slowly along the passageway, looking
INTO each cell. Finally the fingers of a
man appeared through the bars and
the words my honey; I am so glad to
see YOU" came to her ears. Inside the
dark little room Mrs. Hyde saw her
husband. She kissed him through the
bars.
No One Heard Conversation.
a chair was provided and she sat in
the passage way more than an hour.
NO one was permitted to hear the
conversation between Mrs Hyde and
her convicted husband. John Cleary
remained down stairs in the marshals
office to await her return, and Frank
Walsh returned to his office in the
ScArritt hI1ildinp after he n
ed for the interview between Doctor
Hyde and Mrs. Hyde
Mrs. Hyde shed no tears. She car
ried words of cheer and encourage
ment to the man she says she will
stand by through everything. After
they had talked more than an hour
Mr.. Cleary was admitted to the Jail
and informed her that the time allot-
ted had expired. She kissed her hus-
band again and fastened down the
passageway, down the two flights of
stairs and out of the Jail. She asked
ment or being interviewed when she
left the Jail building.
First Visit Since the Trial.
TT is Mrs Hyde's first visit to her
husband since the trial. Mr.. Cleary
said. THAT is all there is to be said
at this time
Mrs. Hyde was treated just as 9TH
er visitors to the Jail are treated. Oc-
casionally a prisoner is admitted to
the corridor just outside the cell room
to talk with his wife or near relative.
But Doctor Hyde was not.
John Cleary called the attention of
the county marshal to the fact that
Mrs. Hyde had suffered terrible ner-
vouS strain, was nervous and broken.
He asked that Mrs. Hyde be permitted
to see her husband outside the cell
room. The request was refused.
