OIL STOCK IS LINKED
WITH POISON PROBE
Attorney Is Accused of Plot
to Kill Capitalist, Long
His Friend.
BY the Associated Press.

PONCA CITY, Okla, August IT,
Five hundred shares of oil stock, or
dered for himself by F. c. Hyde, 28-
year-old Ponca City attorney, on the
account maintained by Samuel S. Col
Inns, wealthy oil man, with a New York
broker, provided the motive for Hyde s
alleged attempt on Collins life, oficers
said today after discovering the stock
in mail turned over to authorities by
the postmaster here.
Hyde had ordered 500 shares Of Con-
tinental Oil Co. stock, valued at over
$4,000, through the New York broker.
the mail revealed. A few DAYS after
placing the order, the officers say, Hyde
administered q poison to Collins in a
soft drink.
Broker Bares Hoax.
When the New York broker sought.
through his Tulsa branch, to confirm
the order, the Tulsa firm was informed
Collins was too i'll to discuss business
matters and was referred to Hyde, who
acted as secretary to Collins, and who,
officers say they were told, confirmed
the order.
The Oil shares arrived in Ponca City
Friday. The day after another alleged
attempt was made on Collins life and
officers say it is their theory that the
knowledge of the probable arrival Of
the stock spurred Hyde on to his at
tempt to kidnap the oil man.
Hyde, who had been Collins per-
sonal counsel since he was admitted
to the bar year ago, and who pre-
viously was Collins private secretary
when the oil man was vice president Of
the Marland Oil Co., was arraigned in
County Court at Newkirk this after
noon on a charge Of administering
poison to Collins in an attempt to kill
him. Judge r. M. Parkhurst fixed bond
at $1,000 and set Hyde's preliminary
hearing for September 3.
The charge on which Hyde was ar
raigned was in connection with an al
legged attempt to kill Collins by plac-
ing poison In bottle of soda pop which
Hyde ordered delivered to Collins Office
nearly two weeks ago. Collins became
dangerously i'll upon taking one swal-
low. The episode came to light yester-
day, following the arrest of Hyde in
an alleged attempt to kidnap Collins
Thursday night.
Collins Is Shaken Badly.
Bruce Potter, county attorney, said
formal charges had not been filed in
connection with the alleged KIDNAPPING
attempt, but that several separate
charges against Hyde probably would
grow out of the episode.
Hyde remained in the county jail at
Newkirk. He has refused to talk.
Plainly shaken by the turn of events
which purported to reveal his personal
counsel and former secretary as a DR..
Jekyll-Mr. Hyde, Collins expressed
hope Hyde would be found insane.
1t was a great shock to me-" Col
Inns said.

victim, and more than a score of de-
tectives mingled with them in the vain

"generalities." The fault found is
that the President in his agricultural
and tariff references lacked definite
ness-real explanations as to what he
proposed. AS consequence many of
his friends in Congress have journeyed
to the White House asking for details
for their guidance. 1t is assumed
that a breach between the executive
and legislative branches will develop
from the debenture item in the pro-
posed farm relief measure. Hoover
has much to do with the opposition to
the equalization fee and he is ex-
pected to oppose the debenture plan
Differences are apparent between the
ideas of the senate and house COM
mittees on agriculture. The house
Ways and Means committee is report
ed to have resented the failure of the
President to define policy for them.
The social season which ordinarily
ends in May will of necessity be pro-
longed. While Congress is in session,
matters relating to foreign affairs may
crop up, so that insures the presence
of the diplomatic corps. The Con-
gressiOnal set must remain in town.
Hence, it is evident that society will
continue it's merry whirl in the capital
city.
