NINE POUCHES OF REGISTERED
MATTER TAKEN in A CAL
lFoRNIA RAID.
: *#**a.a+**@**44#s*

Benicia, Cal, April 1S.-The China
Japan mail, which left San Francisco
over the Southern Pacific railway for
the east at 9 O'Clock Saturday night,
was held up by TWO masked men at
Sprig, two miles east of here, at 1880
o'clock Sunday morning, and robbed OF
nine pouches Of registered mail.
Four Of the pouches have been re-
covered but the robbers rifled the
others and now are hiding in the hills
and canyons between Martinez and
Oakland. Sheriffs' posses from two
counties and detectives and postoffice
inspectors on horses and in automo-
biles are engaged in the man hunt.
After getting the mail sacks, the
robbers cut the engine loose from the
train and sent it wild, throttle open,
down the main track to the east.
In the direct path of the engine was

west bound, heavily loaded. But for
the presence of mind of telegraph

PRINCIPLES TO BE TRIED IN
MILWAUKEE,.

Milwaukee, April 1S.-Victor L. Ber-
ger, alderman and spokesman Of the
Social Democratic party of Milwaukee,
today issued a statement giving an
outline of the principles that will guide
the Social Democratic administration

COURT TO REVIEW
ALL THE INCIDENTS.
DEFENSE LOSES IN EFFORT TO
HAVE TESTIMONY CONFINED TO
THAT DEALING DIRECTLY WITH
THE DEATH OF sWoPE.

Kansas City, April 1S.-Before a
court room crowded to the utmost ca
pacity, Attorney James Reed today
delivered the opening statement Of the
prosecution in the Hyde murder trial.
The defense objected to the courts
permitting Reed, as special counsel,
to deliver the opening statement.
Judge Latshaw held it to be entirely
legal but suggested that Reed be ap-
pointed as special prosecuting attor-
ney. This was done. Frank Walsh,
leading counsel for the defense, inter
posed an objection to the prosecutions
introducing statements regarding any
features of the case except those deal
ing directly with the death of Colonel
Swope. He was overruled. Walsh
branded the many persons who gath
cred evidence against Hyde as ''liars"
and thieves
Pictures Hyde as Fiend.
Picturing DR.. Hyde as man whose
evil propensities led him during his
boyhood to torture animals, in his lat
er life to abuse of the poor and help
less, and in the fullness of professions
al success CT conceiving t..ia most co.
lossal murder plot in the history of
criminality, Attorney Reed made the
opening statement for the stato in the
physicians trial today. Leading up to
the motive which the state claims
caused the alleged murders, Reed ex-
planned the overpowering greed for
money had manifested itself in Hyde.
With the purpose Of adding to his
wealth, said Reed, the physician made
love to women and then obtained
money from them.
Typhoid Epidemic Mentioned.
"sThe charge that brings the de-
fendant to the bar of justice is that of
having with deliberation, premedita-
tion and a cold, calculating purpose,
murdered one of Missouris most dis
tinguished citizens, hnsman Of his
wife and benefactor to him." said
Reed in his address.
The details of Swope's death enter
ed into lengthy recital of how Hyde
obtained typhoid and diphtheria germs
of DR.. Stewart and the appearance of
typhoid fever in the Swope residence
followed. In closing Reed explained
Hyde was being tried only for the
murder of Colonel Swope
Reed sought later to tell the story
of the courtship of Hyde and Mrs.
Hyde, but the objection of Walsh to
this feature was sustained.
