HYDE TRIAL TO WAIT
WHILE COUNTY GETS FUNDS

Kansas City. Jan. 5.--The fourth
trial of DR.. B. Clarke Hyde, charged
with the murder of Col. Thomas H.
Swope, was reset by Judge Porter
field Of the criminal court, here,
this morning, for the first Monday
in April. The state asked for the
continuation as the county is said to
be without funds with which to try
Hyde again. Frank P. Walsh, attor-
ney for. Hyde, argued against the
postponement on the ground that it
was depriving the defendant of his
statutory right to a speedy trial. The
court reset the trial on its own mo-
ton. Floyd Jacobs, the prosecutor,
is planning to obtain funds by spe-
cial legislation with which to finance
the fourth trial.
