having deliberated nearly 81 hours,
the jury in the case Of DR.. b. Clarke
Hyde. on trial for the murder of
Thomas II. Swope, millionaire philan.
thropist. reported disagreement and
was discharged.
According to one of the members,
the jury stood nine for acquittal and
three for conviction.
The first ballot stood seven for con-
victioh, five for acquitta1. This vote
remained unchanged till Friday night,
when there was a reversal to nine for
acCuittal and three for conviction.
Since then until discharged there had
been no change
DR.. Hyde made this statement:
Il have been confident Of acquittal.
However, ! shall stay right here in
Kansas City and strive for my ulti-
mate vindication. or course I'm COM
PEELED to take what has come and
bear up the best | can"
Mrs. Hyde, who had stood by her
husband so stanchly, although sepa-
rated from her mother. Mrs. Logan O.
Swope. who furnished much of the
money to prosecute the case, showed
plainly her disappointment over the
result. Il cannot see,'' said she, why
the jury did not acquit my husband. l
thought l had explained away every
thing, but there were so many objec-
lions by the lawyers that perhaps my
testimony did not seem as clear to this
fury as it did to me-"
Judge Porterfield said the defend
ants bond of $4,000, under which he
has been at liberty, would hold good
until the case was set for trial again.
