311 i-s Keller's Testimony Ended IrjH
Objection to Admitting Evidence
of Any Other Death. liaised
by Attorneys for Defense.
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

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

ABERDEEN, Wash., April 19. (Spe
cial.) Fifteen thousand dollars is the
lowest estimate placed on the probable
cost of the Gohl trial to Chebalis County,
but according to a statement by Com
missioner W. Q. Hopkins today, cost will
not be considered In proving the former
agent of the Sailors Union, now charged
with murder, either one of the most cold

much-maligned and wronged man.
H has. been definitely decided that E.
E. Boner will assist County Prosecutor
Campbell in the case. Boner la engaged
by interests outside the county and a
private subscrrptlon has been pledged to

will be made a temporary Assistant Pro

Politics Not Mentioned In .Chat In
White House Plea Made for
Eradication of Hookworm
Plague in Porto Rico.
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. Among those
who attended the conference were
