E Jury Disagrees in Third Trial of famous Murder Case PROBABLY MEANS HIS RELEASE Doctor Charged With Poisoning Wife's Utde for His Money -Portland Totg Met KiH Two ui scape (Special to The Evening Review) KANSAS CITY, March 17. Re porting a hopeless deadlock, the jury trying Dr. R. C. llydo for the murder of Millionaire Colonel Thomas Swopo, was discharged this afternoon by Judge Porterfleld. Failure to con vict nt this trial, tbo third, probably means that tbe sensational charges against him will be dropped for good. The first tragedy In the Swopo home was Iho death or Moses Hun ton. October 1, 190H. Dr. llydo was charged with negligence In bleeding him. Two days later Colonel Swope died in convulsions. Testimony wa. that Dr. Hyde a few minutes previ ously had given capsule alleged by the stale to have contained cyanide of potassium and strychnine. An epidemic or typhoid fever then stalled In tbe Swope home, and on December . Chrlsinan Swope died under conditions similar to those which nttended Ihe death of Colonel Swope. The physician was accused oi spreading typhoid germs In the house The .state alleged Or. Hyde's motive vas to add to his wife's share nt n... estate of Colonel Swope. the share growing larger every time an heir died. The inability of Dr. Hyde to evplain lib; cyanide purchases was chiefly responsible for bis first con ;victlon. I At both of bis former trials.
