BY PETER LENINS

NNEIIEN one has been Il devoted student OF
N1 murder for many years, and reviewed
w and examined countless cases, nat
uray reaches conclusions and formulates Opin-
ions as to why this particular type Of crime
possesses such an endless fascination for the
reading public.
one obvious conclusion is that great murder
cases are, as the saying goes, born and not made.
They actually happen. They are not fabricated
out Of the mind Of a fiction writer. Because they
are true, they are necessarily unique. While
some cases may resemble other cases, no such
phenomenon as Identical" murders ever occurs.
Every case is different from every other case,
lust as every human thumbprint differs from
every other thumbprint
Consider fine example, the SWope myS-
terry which was in full career in independence,
Mo, 30 years ago this month
The scene of the most sinister of the storyS
events was a mansion on South Pleasant ST. Indc-
pcndcncc, six blocks south OF the Truman home
on North Delaware ST This was the residence
of Mrs Logan tMagge) Swopc, widowed sister
in-law Of Col. Thomas Hunton Swope, an alcoholic
octogcnarian bachelor who had amasSCd a fortune
in real cstate-morc or less accidentally, for he
happened TO own much of the land which became
the site OF Kansas City Swope living at the
South Pleasant St house in 1909, along with Vari.
Gus others of the Swope tribe.
Maggie Swopc. 81, had seven children: Chris
man, 81; Frances 30 Thomas, 27; Lucy Lee, %;
Margaret, y; Stella 16; and Sarah ii. All were

living i'm the house in 1909 except Frances, who
was living with her physican-husband I'r Bon
nett Clark Hyde, in nearby Kansas City, and
IhCmas, who lived with his wife a farm out
side of town FranCcS' romance with Hyde had
been opposed by all the SWopcs but the family
had made the best Of things after HE pair efefed
in June, 1909 Another occupant Of the house WAS
James Moss Hunton, a cousin of Colonel SWopc,
who was friend and adviser well as executor
Of the old mans estate
-Four years before the main section Of our mar
ratlVc opens, Colonel SWopc wrote a will diSpoSing
Of an estate worth about $35O000O. The pertinent
thing about this VIII was that Swopc stipulated,
in effect, that the more heirs who died the more
money the surviving heirs would inherit This
type OF testament sometimes puts very unCivllizcd
ideas into nhcritors heads
In the late summer of 1909, Colonel SwOpc, now
approaching 50, confided 10 friends that he
thinking Of changing his will in order 10 leave
about 81 600 10 charity.
ON Sept s. the Old Colonel, as he was called
probably among other things-fell against table
in his library and had TO take to his bed under the
ncighhorhood Doctors care He had his will with
him in the bedroom, and often pcruscd il.
4 week LATER, on a Sunday, Frances and Dr.
HYDE who was soon to be elected president of
the Jackson County Medical Society, visited the
family, and Or Hyde spent an interesting per
haps we should say disturbing hour with the
patient ON Hydc'S return downstairs, ne talked
at length about the old mans will.
Next day, the 18th, Hyde installed nurse,

patient needed digestive medicine.
That same day,ain Kansas city, Hyde pur.

customarly traded, four 5grain capsules Of cya-
nide of potassium, a poison which, as the reader
probably knows, can bc very detrimental 10 the
health when received internally.

done rather thoroughly, beginning at I p m ]
INvyman thought far too much blood was beN
drawn but his colleague insisted on draining the
patient to the extent of six pints, with the result
that Hunton expired at p. m.
At 10 p m, according to Nurse Keller, Hyde

Shipment Went Out
On ScheduIe"

The Universal Zonolite Insulation
Company made an interesting and
unusual shipment of vermiculite
last week. Four carloads were
shipped to the Arabian-American
Oil Co., which operates huge oil re-
fineries in the near east. The ship
ment went by mail to Philadelphia,
from whence it will be shipped by
boat to the oil fields in Arabia and
Iran. These fields will probably
supply much of the Oil for China
over the newly opened Burma
road.
It was necessary to prepare the
shipment on only a few hours
notice. The vermiculite was pack
aged in 1O0-lb. cloth bags. On ac-
count of the very limited time CIV
en-, it was necessary to use most
OF the Zonolite crew except those
needed to keep the mill operating.
As is customary with privately
owned American business, 1.-THE
shipment went out on schedule
