DR.. HYDE FREED.
Judge Dismissss Accused Man as
Fourth Trial ls Called.

Fourth Trial Is Called.
Kansas City, April 1O.--The prosecu-
tion of DR.. B. Clark Hyde on the charge
of having murdered Col. Thomas
Swope, wealthy. physician, ended here
when Judge E. p. Porterfield, in the
criminal court, dismissed the last in
dictment against Hyde and his bond of
$4,000 automatically was cancelled.
The action followed motion of de-
fense attorneys that the prosecution
should be dropped because four terms
Of court had passed since DR.. Hyde last
was tried and at none of these was the
state ready to proceed. Inability to
obtain funds necessary for the case
was given by Hunt G. Moore, county
as the reason for the states
failure to- continue the litigation.
The Hyde Swope case attracted
nationwide attention. Colonel Swope,
an aged bachelor, was the uncle of DR..
Hyde's wife and the state sought to
prove that DR.. Hyde had murdered him
to obtain iIis wealth thru the use of
cyanide of potassium and the injection
Of typhoid bacilli into food eaten by
him and members Of his family.
Colonel Swope died in 1909. DR..
Hyde was adjudged guilty at his first
trial with sentence Of ninety-nine
years. The supreme court remanded
the case for retrial, a juror escaped
during the second hearing and mis-
trial resulted. The third trial, two
years ago, ended with the jury under

men extinguished the fire after two

frame tabernacle, were used.
Rumors Of Plot.
The plant originally was constructed
soon after the European war started by
the Baldwin Locomotive interests. Re-
Gently II was taken over by the Russian
government which employed 10000
workers.
The place has been carefully guarded
and after dark searchlights made the
place az light az day. In addition secret

that Yesterdays captures exceeded

The Canadians, who had one of the
hardest bits OF the front to contend
with, are now in complete occupation
of the famous vimy ridge. even it's
eastern slopes having been cleared OF
Germans.
The Canadians also have repulsed
German counter attacks. These reac-
tions by the Germans indicate the inn
portance they attached to these posi-
tions whence the conquerors looked
down over the plain of Douai.
With Vimy ridge gone, the whole
German lpe covering the French towns
and industrial districts to the north
becomes q waveripg one and any leis-'
urely retreat the, Germans may have
planned is made uncertain and pre-
carious.

With the capture Of the famous ridge
the British made great strike to-
ward Douai while the capture Of the
high ground northwest Of St. Quentin
tightens the chain which the Anglo
French forces are drawing around that
town.
