of Col Thomas H. Swope, has been
found. \ dozen or more clews were
investigated by officers, today. but,
tonight, County Marshal Joel Meyers
said he was up against stone

found soon practically has been
abandoned by Prosecutor Conkling

when the other jurymen shall be
freed.
The feature of the case which is
Worrying the states attorney is the
announced Intention by DR.. Hyde's at
torneys TO assert, If the jury is dis
charged, that the life of the Defend
ant cannot again be placed in jeop-
ardy on the charge of killing Col.
Swope. Judge Porterfeld does not
think the second trial has jeopardized
the life of DR.. Hyde. However. the
prosecution desires to be certain that
the courts view Is correct before it
agrees to the discharge of this jury.
Even if Waldron should return and
resume his duties as a juror, attor-
neys for the defence say. his action
in absenting hirpself from the other
Jurors would BE .suf1icient ground for
reversal. The state law says that the
II men in a case must be kept togeth-

This man was reported to have
