ASSERTS POISON
killed SW0PES
Expert Testiiies in Hyde Trial
at Kansas City.
DEATHS NOT NATURAL

DR.. Ludwig Hektoen of Chicago, Who
Performed Autopsies on the Bodies
of Colonel and Chrisman Swope, De-
clares That, in His Opinion, Both
Men Died From the Effects of Some
convuIsve and ParaIyzing Poison.
Kansas City, May 2.-Answering hy-
pothetical questions relating to the
deaths of Colonel and Chrisman
Swope, DR.. Ludwig Hektoen, the Chi
cago pathologist, said in the criminal
court that in his opinion both men
died from the effects of some convul-
siye and paralyzing poison. Cyanide
of potassium, testified the scientist
was such a drug.
Nothing about the vital organs of
either of the Swopes, upon each of
whom DR.. Hektoen performed autop-
sizes, suggested death had resulted
from natural causes.
Judge Latshaw turned over to attor-
neys for DR.. Hyde the letters relating
to the Swope analysis which passed
between John G. Paxton and DR.. HEX
toen. The court said he had read the
missives and had found nothing
which would prove of value to the de-
fense. In order, however, that DR.
Hyde might have every opportunity
to prove his innocence he would give
the physicians attorneys the letters,
said the court
A recess was taken to permit the
defense to examine the letters.
Upon his return to the courtroom
Attorney Frank p. Walsh said the re
ports saying there was no strychnine
in the contents of the stomach of
Margaret Swope or the capsule which
DR.. Hyde threw away was not among
the papers. Mr. Conkling responded
that in so far as he knew the state
was not in possession of such letter.
But if he found it he would hand it
to the defense
DR.. Calvin Adkins, city physician
of Independence, testified as to the
condition of Colonel Swope's body He
did not believe the natural bodily all
ments would have caused death.

Democratic Leader in Illinois In
voIved, According to the Story.
Chicago, May 2.-According to a
copyrighted story printed in the Chi
cago Tribune that newspaper has in
its possession sworn statement by
Charles A. White, a member of the
lower house of the Illinois legislature
from the Forty-ninth district, charging
that William Lorimer was elected to
the United States senate last May by
bribery and corruption.
White, who is a Democrat, in his
statement says he received $1,000 for
voting for Lorimer This money, he
alleges, was paid him by Lee O'Neil
Browne, Democratic leader Of the last
legislature
5000 more from the Jackpot" term
applied to an alleged general corrup-
tion fund distributed at the close of
each session of the legislature. The
5000, White alleges, was paid him by
Robert e. wilson, also a member of
the legislature, in st. Louis.
According to White he was first ap-
preached by Browne on May "a, 1909,
while the voting was going on for a
United States Senator. A deadlock
had existed fer some time. Browne
asked White If he would vote for
Lorimer and White said he could and
would

On May % they met again and
Browne said he would pay $1,000 and

vote for Lorimer, according to the
statement
On the next day Lorimer was elect
ed by a joint ballot, many Democrats

this number.
White says Browne paid him 500
in the next week at Springfield. Later,
at Chicago, White alleges Browne paid
him $50 and then $3.50. At the time

that Browne had 100000 in a belt he
wore.
On July Is White says he met Will
son at the Southern hotel at st. Louis
in response to a telegram and received
5000 as his share of the Jackpot"
White says he met other representa-
tives in Wilson's room just before he
received his money. According to
White there was general diSsatisfac-
tion among the members of the legis-
lature he met at ST. Louis because
they did not get more out Of the Jack
pot" but that was explained by the
fact that $4,000 was lost to the Jack
pot" because of the failure of certain
legislation to go through.
Browne Denies the Story.
Lee O'Neil Browne, Democratic
leader of the house of representatives
at Springfield, shouted over the tele
phone from his home at Ottawa:

remarkable You should lock this man

Water rats of Southern California
began the second days contests of
their third annual indoor swimming
tournament last night at Bimini baths
before a fair audience. The swimmers
were in fine condition and showed
marvellous speed for Junior athletes
The first event on the program was the
30-yard dash, which was run off in
three heats, owing to the large entry.
When Les Henry as starter sent the
swimmers off, George Crary Los An
geles high school representative. sur
prised his closest friends by pulling
away from the bunch. Crary took the
outer course and was pressed hard by
Marcus Lee, also of the blue and white
team, for half of the race, when ABOUT
twenty yards from the goal Crary with
a vengeance used all strength in his
limbs and crossed the tape at least two
yards ahead of Lee. The time for the
first heat was rs seconds.
The second heat was won by q NAL
ley, also Of the Fort school, with Bas-
sett of Ocean Park giving him hard
run for honors. The time for this heat
was SO seconds. The third heat was
captured through the excellent swim
ming OL Il. NJ. loSil VI OSC"ii ~ -
who proved too much for Barker Time
80 40 seconds.
The final heat was won by O'Mal-
ley of Los Angeles high scsool, Bell
of Ocean Park second and Lee of Los
Angeles high school third. Time, q 20
seconds, which equals the Southern
California record.
The 220-yard relay race proved very
interesting from start to finish and
was contested by the various entrants.
O'Malley and Lee proved the most con-
spicuous men in the race, each hght-
ing hard for a shade in taking the lead,
but O'Malley proved too much for Lee,
as he seemed to be trained down to
the minute for this event. Bell, swim
ming on the inside rail, passed these
two hghting opponents and crossed
the tape by safe margin, with Bas-
sett second Seamon third and O'Mal-
ley finishing fourth.
Frank Holborow, Pacific coast chom-
pion of the indoor so and 100-yard
dashes, came within one-fifth of sec
ond in breaking the former time made
by himself in this event for the coast
record. Holborow issued a challenge
from the platform for 500 against any
professional swimmer in the world FOR
the short distance route.
The program for this evening viii be
as follows:

Southern California.

EASTERN STRINGS ARE
STARTING EARLY WORK

NEW YORK, March S.-With unmis-
taxable signs of approaching spring in
the air, forty thoroughbred race horses,
heavily shod and wrapped in blankets,
have emerged from their winter quar-
ters at the Long Island tracks and
are being exercised daily on the Coney
Island boulevard. Within q week
Gravesend and Sheepshead Bay tracks
will be narrowed and put in shape so
that regular work will be possible
Last year the horses did not get
out Of their quarters so early, because
the opening Of the season did not take
place until May 13. But as the COM
ing campaign begins at Aqueduct on
April 10, the trainers who are anxious
to win some Of the early stakes find
they have just five weeks to get their
charges ready.
There is unusual interest in the Q
year-olds this spring. James r.
Keene, August Belmont, r. 4. Wilson
jr., II. p. Whitney and John r. Mad
den have the largest number ready to
begin training, and it is believed gem
orally that one of these stables will
produce a champion.

der the colors and names of horses.
Fred will make good over there and
then he expects to come back TO Los
Angeles and try out his experiment.
George Memsic has received an offer
from Louis Blot, one of the Frisco
fight promoters, to go to that city and
fight Lew Powell over the twenty
round course the latter part of this
month. He has accepted and asked
Blot to permit Powell to name his own
terms. thus setting it in for a tap on
Powell. Memsic is not one bit AFRAID
of his fate in any lightweight contest
and it is only by freak of fate that
he is not lightweight champion now.
Abe Morris. the pool shark, has
proved to be such a good thing that Cy
Myrick, Hughey Haven, Tom Savage
and Art Pitcher refuse to start p-ball
game without him, often sending car
riage to bring him in a hurry. A Few
days ago, another local sucker got INTO
the game and after winning 1our SIN
giles. two doubles and triple. was
canned because this same Dunch ala
not like his proficiency.
Arthur Whitelaw, one of the Orpheum
stars this week, made a big hit Mon
day night by his Jeffries-J ohnsoh
stunts and was about the most popular
fellow on the Rialto yesterday, atter
Sam Berger got out of sight. White
law is a great admirer of the unbeaten
boy and never loses an opportunity TO
hit 'em up a few for his old pal. KIP
per came in for his share of the rlch
stuff during the spread and got sore,
but finally got over it.
Peter Vroom of the New York Her
aid, who is accompanying the Whlte
Sox on their coast training trip, is
about the handiest man around the SoX
camp When box scores and identlhca-
tion marks are necessary Vroom is
there and he is working overtime TO
give proper publicity to the Sox trip
He is a most competent baseball writ
er because he is a most ardent base
ball fan.
Ed Dunkhorst, who never amounted
to anything in the fight line in all ms
UNMARRIED career, comes out in an IN
terview and seeks to pull himself out
of obscurity by declaring that his sym
pathies are with Johnson in the big
fight. Anyone who would print his
name for other than derogatory re-
marks Is entitled to something that the
postal laws refuse to permit going
through the mails. Dunkhorst never
was an authority on pugilistic affairs
because he has proved he knows moth
ing about them, and his opinion re-
garding the result of the big fight and
his sympathies run in the same groove.

4 ENCOURAGEMENT was made yes
N terday by Jeems Morley that he
"A would have Willie Hoppe and
Ora Morningstar here for two nights,
March 25 and 26 for another INSTALL
ment of their touring series of games.
Morningstar once held the 1872 balk-
line championship. which Hoppe
wrested from him, and neither was en-
tered in the recent tournament in
which Cline beat Demarest. Hoppe is
recognized the world over as the great
est balkline player in the world at
either 1871 or 1872, and is matched with
George Sutton to play for the 49,
championship one week from tonight at
Chicago. Charles Tennes, brother of
Mont Tennes, the Chicago bookmaker,
is managing both players. and has ar
ranged for them to play at Morley's
parlors on the dates mentioned. 1t will
be a great treat for local lovers of
the balkline game, and as this style
of billiard playing has taken strong
hold here in the last few months, 1t
is believed that the pair will prove
good drawing cards. Tennes says that
he has $4,000 to bet against $500 that
Hoppe can beat any balkline player
in the world at 1871 or 1872, and so
far no takers have shown up. 1t is
another enterprising stroke by Morley,
and when this pair meets local players
should show some appreciation by
turning out and making the financial
end of it a success at least.
Walter Johnson and Arthur Seymour,
the crack professional three-cushion
billiardists, will begin a match play
of 100 points tonight at Jeffries &
Kipper's parlors for $100 a side. They
will play fifty points each night for
two nights, and those who know any
thing about this game will appreciate
the fact that it will be a real battle,
with much class involved. Both play
ers have been practicing for several
days and are in their best form, which
means a great game of three cushions.
Play will begin at 8 o'clock tonight.
Jack Connors. one of the old heads
at transferring odds from a race track
to the pool room, is in the city and this
time he has diverted to some extent
having brought over nice little
string of useful horses from Juarez
which he is taking to Emeryyille. Jack
is known from one end of the racing
continent to the other and always
makes good. He is a good fellow on
the turf and off and the best wishes
of the bunch go with him to the north
ern track.
Fred Rickert, promoter de luxe of
all things that have the racing suf-
fix attached, has gone to Arizona to
superintend the opening meet of the
Arizona Coursing association, where
hounds will perform in their true col
