HYDE CASE IS
BEING HEARD
Second Trial of Doctor Who is Accus
ed Of Numbering Colonel
SWope.

/ KANSAS CITY, Oct. 2s.-The first
venlre of talesmen for the Hyde jury
has been drawn and it is estimated
that l.50O will be required as it will
be hard to pick jury. The second
trial of DR.. B. c. Hyde for the mir
der of his wifes uncle, Colonel Thos
II. Swope, the millionaire philanthro
pist, is now being heard before
Judge e. E Porterfield in division
two of the criminal court.
Hyde, after a sensational trial was
convicted May 1G, 1910 but the SUI
preme court of Missouri reversed the
case and remanded it for new trial.
The second trial will not be so long
as the first, because the supreme
court ruled out the evidence of other
deaths and the typhoid epidemic in
the Swope household The defense
filed motion to quash the indict-
ment on the ground that Judge La.
than, from whom they took change
OF venue from prejudice, helped to
pick the talesmen
Hardly had the case been called at
s::S0 Monday morning when the
defense asked the right to
examine the panel of venire-
men. After a wordy war the,
court settled the question by ordering
the list of eligable jurors to be read
in open court. This delay. coupled
with the fact that Senator Read was
delayed in returning from Chicago,
held up the Proceedings for about an
hour The examination of veniremen
then proceeded rapidly.
