KANSAS CITY. April 19. "Colonel ' Swope will never return to Kansas City." This prophecy, testified Mies Pearl Keller, a outre, la the Hyde murder trial today, was made to her by Dr. B. C Hyde In Independence, Mo., a few clay before Colonel Swope died. She wu Colonel Swope's nurse. Dr. Hyde's remark, said Miss Keller, was made when she Informed the physician Colonel Swope planned to go to his office In a few days. Her patient at that time, testified the nurse, was In better physical condition than for . weeks. He was able to take dally drives and seemed In good spirits, she . said. Constant Attendance Xeeded. On September 13 last, at the request of Dr. Hyde, Miss Keller said she went to the Swope home to attend Colonel , Swope. The physician told her, she testified, that while Colonel Swope was ;' not In a serious condition, he suffered from a bruised shoulder and needed ; constant attendance. In order to refresh her memory. Miss '. Keller, referred frequently to her chart. Examination of this chart by the at torneys showed It was not kept during tbe last week of Colonel Swope's Ill ness. Asked to explain why this was, the nurse said: Colonel Swope Irritable. "Colonel Swope objected so strenu ously to our keeping a record that we .had to give It up and Dr. Hyde said the Colonel was doing- so well It would be ; unnecessary to keep a record." . Colonel Swope, Bhe said, was' often ' Irritable. The note "refused atten tion" appeared frequently ia the chart. This prophecy was the only lmpor- tant bit of testimony MlfiS Keller had given In the trial this afternoon, when a legal debate arose and she was ex cused while the court heard arguments. Between the time Dr. Hyde la alleged ' to have made the remark and Colonel ! Swope's death, James Moss Hunton, a ': cousin of Bwope, succumbed. t ' Squabble Ends Testifying. Miss Keller, who was taking up the Swope mystery and In chronological order, bad begun to tell of the illness of Hunton, when the defense objected. Attorneys for Dr. Hyde maintain tes timony regarding no other death or Ill ness than that of Colonel Swope should be admitted In the present trial. Be fore Miss- Keller resumes the stand this ' vital point will be decided. Miss Keller was the first Important witness called by the state this after noon. Three men, Oscar Cogswell, Jesse J. Vineyard and-F. T. Chlls, were asked to Identify Colonel Swope's will and the appraisement list of his per sonal property. Frank P. Walsh delivered the open ing statement for the defense today, oc cupying the entire morning session. In part Mr. Walsh Bald the defense would Introduce testimony to prove the following points: First That neither Dr. Hyde nor his wife knew before the death of Colonel Swope whether they were to share In the residuary of his estate. Second Mrs. Logan O. Swope was deeply prejudiced against Dr. Hyde be cause she thought he gave Mrs. Hyde financial advice contrary to the opin ions of her mother. Third The charge that cyanide of potassium had been found in the or gans of Colonel and Chrisman Swope was an llth-hour "trick" trumped up by the prosecution. Dr. Hyde had such poison in his office to eradicate vermin. Fourth For years the Swope family had taken medicine compounded by Ohessing H. Jordan, an alleged South American doctor, who holds no physi cian's certificate. Bad Sanitation Spreads fever. Fifth That the sanitary conditions alone were responsible for the spread of typhoid fever In the Swope resi dence. Sixth Original statements from the Swope chemists stated, there was no poison either in the stomach of Miss Margaret Swope or in capsules thrown away by Dr. Hyde: but when Mr. Pax ton was sued by the physician, a report of the presence of poison was immedi ately made. - Seventh Every attempt of the de fense to gain possession of the viscera of the two Swopes to make medical ex aminations had been repulsed. Eighth Tn removing the organs of Colonel and Chrisman Swope little care was exercised, so that the organs as examined were not In the same condi tion as when In the bodies. Ninth Colonel Swope practicallv up to the day of his death took various medicines containing strychnine. Tenth Dr. Hyde never told Miss Keller, In handing her a capsule for Colonel Swope. to "Make him take it." Eleventh Dr. G. T. Twyman held the tie-string which controlled the flow of blood from James Moss Hunton's body when Dr. Hyde bled him. Mrs. Hyde's Diary Referred To. Twelfth Mm. Hyde's diary showed Dr. Hyde was not at the Swope resi dence on many days when he is ac cused of having spread the typhoid germs there. Thirteenth Dr. Hyde and Colonel Swope were the best of friends and the physician was always kind to the old man. Fourteenth There was no desire on Dr. Hyde's part, either covert or ex pressed, to act as an executor of the estate of Colonel Swope. Fifteenth Colonel Swope was In such -physical condition bis demise might nave been expected at any time. Sixteenth The tests used by the chemists to search for the strychnine In the bodies would not prove conclu slvely that this poison and not another bad been found. Seventeenth Colonel Swope never re fused to take any medicine left for him by Dr. Hyde. All these things Mr. Walsh said he would prove by hie own witnesses and by admissions from the state's wit Ti esses.

HOG PRICES EXPLAINED ST. LOUIS MAX SAYS PACKERS FAKE COMPETITION". Interests Using Bootstraps With Which to Vault Fence, Is Com ment of Investigator. . ST. LOUIS, April 19. High prices of meat are due partly to fictitious competi tion between livestock buyers employed by the Swift, Armour and Morris inter ests and by the National Packing Com pany, which is controlled by those inter ests, according to testimony this after noon by A. N. Benn, vice-president of the St. Louis Dressed Beef & Provision Company. Mr. Benn testified In the investigation of the packing companies conducted by Attorney -General Major. The St. Louis Company is owned and controlled by the National Packing Com pany, according to testimony adduced yesterday. To this competition- between concerns ostensibly rivals but really under the same control, the witness specifically at tributed the recent price of $11.15 for hogs. Benn stated buyers ostensibly repre senting the National Company but. in fact, representing the Armour-Swift-Morris interests, frequently bid against the buyers directly employed by these Inter ests, and thus forced up the price- of meat. The benefit of this policy is ex plained by the investigators as producing an illusion of competition in the eyes of the public "The competition between the different buyers Is something fierce." said Benn. "If it had not been for that we should not have had hogs at $11.15." ' "It looks as if the Swift-Armour-Morrls Interests were really trying to lift them selves over the fence by their bootstraps," commented Attorney-General Major. "That's Just what It Is," agreed Benn. COST WILL BE GREAT MONEY WILL NOT BE SPARED IN GOUL MURDER TRIAL. Private Subscription Is Raised to Employ Counsel in Aber deen Sailor's Case.

WASHINGTON, April 19. W. J. Bryan and President Taft spent more than an hour closeted together at tha White House late today. The two great trav elers exchanged reminiscences, it Is said, and each commented upon how well the other was looking. The President intimated tbat being beaten at the polls didn't seem to be such a bad thing for one's health and happiness after alL "The call was purely a social one,' said Mr. Bryan, as he left the execu tive offices. "Did you discuss the tariff bill!" he was asked. "No," smiled the Nebraskan, "we forgot all about it." "Or politics?" "No; that didn't occur to us, either.' Chat Doubly Enjoyed. Both the President and Mr. Bryan seemed to have enjoyed the. quiet chat thoroughly. Mr. Bryan walked In Democratic fashion to the White House. He was received with the usual cour tesy by the attaches, and was shown without a moment's delay into the President's offices. Mr. Bryan left at 7. -o6 tonight for Lincoln, Neb. "While I was in Porto Rico," aid Mr. Bryan, "I studiously avoided the discussion of any political question, and in a speech there I explained why I thought this necessary. I pointed out that however much we may differ in the United States on political ques tions, we are in thorough harmony in our desire to do absolute justice to Porto Rico." Mr. Bryan gave an unqualified In dorsement to Governor Colton, of Porto Rico. Postal Bank Bill Indorsed. Mr. Bryan reached Washington this morning. He held an impromptu re ception in the lobby just back of the House chamber, where many of the members. Democrats and Republicans, met him. In the course of his visit to the Capital Mr. Bryan met several Democrats in the minority room, and to them he expressed his views on pending legislation, especially the postal savings bank and railroad bills. Mr. Bryan advanced the opinion that the Democrats of the House should vote for the postal bill because, in his view, it Involved the surest method of bringing about. the guarantee feature for deposits. While believing there were some good features in the pending railroad bill, especially those providing . for Government supervision of the issue of stocks and bonds, Mr. Bryan advised the defeat of the measure, because he thought its bad features outweighed Its desirable provisions.
