Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 5-Seven
years of nerve-racking patience,
during which suspicion for the muir
der Of Col Thos. H. Swope, million
aire and philanthropist, grayed his
hair and wrinkled his features, have
at last ended in Vindication of DR.. B.
Clark Hyde, and he and his wife,
who refused money offers to leave
him, are again happy.
DR.. Hyde was Swope's son-in-law
and family physician. When the
millionaire was found dead the ply
sician was found guilty. Charges
were that DR.. Hyde infected the
drinking water of the Swope house
with germs so he and his wife would
inherit the $10,OO0,O00 SBope estate.
DR.. Hyde was tried three times.
The third trial was just ended with
prosecution ordered dropped.
