Miss Swope's appearance now Is much

with causing. The girl was pale and
weak. Her hair was short and she wore

pressive her wig was removed, ana when
she sat In the witness chair she told her
story in a slow, weak voice. she had the
undivided attention OF the jurors.
But the supreme court has decided the
typhoid testimony must be barred from
this trial, so no evidence regarding It
will be offered. Miss Swope will simply
tell OF the injection DIR. Hyde gave her
on December Is, 1890, ,Yhich he said was
camphorated oil, but Which the state con-
tends was pus germs.
