Escaped From
The Juryroom
HARRY WALDRoN FOUND THE
SERVICE DISTAsTEFUL.
SAT ON MURDER CASE
Member Of Panel at Trial of DR.. Hyde
-Pined for Wife and Children
Action May Cause a MistriaI.

Kansas City, Mo-. Dec. ia mis-
trial of the second trial of Dr. B.
Clarke Hyde, charged with killing Col
Thcmas H. Swope, appears probable
tonight. Made desperate by the sight
CT two of his children, from whom he
had been separated for six weeks, in
the courtroom last Saturday, Harry
Waldron, one of the jurors, escaped
from the jury's hotel quarters early
today. While Frank Jasper, deputy
county marshal who was on guard
slept, Waldron pried open nailed

ing, tiptoed to q fire escape and leap
ed fifteen fest to freedom The en-
tire city police force and a dozen dep
uties from the county marshals Of
fee have searched In vain for him
since his absence was noted near day
light.
Jury May Have to Be Discharges.
If Waldrcn Is not found by tomor-
row night, the other eleven jurors will
be discharged, Judge Porterfield said
today. Or if the missing man is traced
and he cannot prove that he has not
discussed the case during his absence.
tho same action will be taken Should
he return In good health and swear he
had mentioned the trial to no one and
the court is satisfied with his cxplana-
ticn, the trial will proceed.
May Have Killed Himself.
Fear that Waldron has killed himself
is growing. He was in a highly agitat-
ed state when last seen cn Sunday
night as indeed he had been almost
every day since he was chosen a jur-
or. He objected to serving when he
was first selected, saying his business
would not permit of his absence. La
ter lie was taken i'll and begged for
his wife and children After that
his wife wrote him daily and he SEEM
ed more contented.
Played "Home, Sweet Home.r
On Saturday his children went into
the courtroom to see him and when
court adjourned he kissed and fondled
them. Yesterday was Sunday. Some
Of the Jurors played games and others
read, but Waldron sat alone, playing
on his violin Home, Sweet Home" his
favorite tune. 1t was on his lips when
he retired, early this morning.
Cannot Be Severely Punished.
But he did not retire to sleep-he |
escaped at the earliest opportunity. |
Even If his escape should result in a |
which would mean a loss of |
thousands of dollars to the county, |
