JURY TO GET CASE SOON
v
Various Diseases Said to Produce
Symptoms Such as Shown in Con
vulsions Described Colonel
Swope Spoke of Death.
KANSAS CITY", May 5. Disregarding
the evidence of the scientists that poison
caused the deaths of Colonel Thomas H.
Swope and Chrisman Swope and the con
vulsions of Miss Margaret Swope, the de
fense, in openinff Its case today- tried to
show that the deaths were natural.
Sylvester Spangler, on the stand for
Dr. Hyde, accused of the murder of Col
onel Swope. testified that the millionaire
was so feeble for the year before he died
that he fainted several times. Only the
day before death came, testified Mr.
Spangler, Colonel Hyde told him he might
die at any time.
From Dr. 1 W. Froehling the de
fense elicited the information that
either uraemic poisoning, typhoid
fever or meningitis would result in the
symptoms such as those shown by the
three Swopes when convulsions devel
oped. On cross-examination, however,
the physician admitted the attacks also
resembled cases of strychnine poison
ing. Trial on Last Lap.
The Hyde murder trial entered upon the
last lap today when the defense began
its presentation of witnesses. Between 15
and 20 persons will testify in behalf of
Dr. Hyde, it is paid, end indications are
that the case will be in the Jury's hands
within a. week. Mrs. Logan O. Swope was
the last witness for the prosecution yes
terday. She made a calm and straight
forward witness. The defense questioned
her briefly.
"I am well satisfied with the trial thus
far," said Dr. Hyde before court today.
"I think I shall be acquitted."
In an effort to prove that Colonel
Swope's physical condition was poor, S.
W. Spcnpler, for several years business
manager for the millionaire, was called
upon to open the defense's case. Mr.
Spangler said Mr. Swope drank heavily
until 11 months before his death. When
Colonel Swope gave up drinking, testified
the witness, he became very weak. The
millionaire was a user of patent medi
cines and remedies containing strych
, nine, said Spangler.
Swope Predicted Sports.
" 'I may be here a day or a week, but
I can't last long. I'm liable to die at any
minute,' " Mr. Spangler said Colonel
Swope told him the day before he died.
Prosecutor Conkling made an ineffective
attempt to show that Colonel Swope ob
jected to Dr.' Hyde marrying Frances
3wope. The testimony was barred. After
the marriage, it was shown, the million
aire gave property valued at J10.000 to the
defendant.
Typhoid fever, uraemic poisoning or
meningitis, said vr. Jr. w. Froehling, the
next witness, often caused convulsions
similar to those produced in the cases of
1 homas II., Chrisman and Margaret
swope.
Kidneys in the same condition as
were those of Colonel Swope, especial
ly when accompanied bv a weak heart.
might cause uraemic poison and result
In death at any time, said the physi
cian. Camphorated oil, which Dr. Hyde
claims he injected into the arm of
Jlargaret Swope, often produced in
flammation, causincr the natlent much
suffering-. Dr. Froehling was of the
opinion that this remedy was a good
heart stimulant, and in common use.
"You would have to know the pulse
find temperature before you gave this
oil. wouldn't you?" asked Mr. Reed on
cross-examination.
"Certainly," answered Dr. Froehllng.
Margaret Swope's testimony was that
Dr. Hyde injected the oil without ex
amining her condition.

pany to bridge the Columbia River near

Many Republicans Inspired by De
sire to Make Statement No. 1
Odious, Says Senator Plot by
Enemies Is Alleged.
WASHINGTON', May 5. Commending
the election system of his state. Senator
Rourne. of Oregon, tn an extendea speech
in the Senate today aroused a general
debate on the question of representative.
government which dealt especially wttn
the effect on the Southern states of the
system of selecting; Federal officials for
that section. t
Bourne dwelt in terms of admiration on
the methods of conducting elections and
selecting officeholders in Oregon. He de
clared that Oregon had "evolved the best
form of popular government in the "world
today." and defended the election or his
Democratic colleague. Chamberlain, by a
Republican Legislature.
Republican Majority Overturned.
After outlining the contest. Bourne
said:
"At the general' election in June Sen
ator Chamberlain defeated Mr. Cake,
notwithstanding the state was over
whelmingly Republican, thereby devel
oping from the Democratic candidate
into the people's choice for United
States Senator. The normal Republican
majority In Oregon, I think, is from
15.000 to 20,000."
Stating that there were no penalties
attached to the law, Mr. Bourne said
that at the session of the Legislature
at which Chamberlain had been elected.
an ex-Government official and assistant
to the chairman of the Republican Na
tional Committee appeared in Oregon
and promised Federal appointments to
Legislators if they would disregard
their pledges.
"The effort was'made by the enemies
of the law,' he said, 'to create the
impression that by reason of this per
son's relations with the chairman of
the Republican National Committee
during the National campaign he would
be able to deliver these promised Fed
eral appointments in case Statement No. 1
subscribers sold their honor and be
trayed their trust."
Motive In Vote Detected.
xiourne said . that in his opinion
Chamberlain received the votes of sev
eral thousand Republican enemies of
l..e law, wno believed they could pre
vent a Republican Legislature from
ratifying the choice and who sought to
make Statement No. 1 and the primary
law odious. He defended the primary
system.
"Results attained under direct legis
lation in Oregon," he said, "compare so
favorably with the work of a Legls
latlve Assembly that an effort to re
peal the initiative and referendum
would be overwhelmingly defeated. No
effort has been attempted.
"Plainly stated, the aim of our law is
to destroy the irresponsible political
machine and put all elective officers
in the state in direct touch with the
people, as the real source of authority:
in short, to give direct and full force
to the ballot of every individual elector
in Oregon and to eliminate the domi
nance of corporate and corrupt influ
ence in the administration xt public af
fairs."
Bacon of Georgia entered upon a plea
for more voice in the appointment of
Federal officials for the Southern
States. The Georgia Senator's speech
evoked extended remarks by Carter of
Montana, who advocated taking the
postoffice out of politics.
Agreeing with the suggestion made
by his colleague. Clay, that the Senate
should adopt a rule against the con
firmation of any Federal appointee not
indorsed by the Senators from his
state. Bacon made a general condem
nation of the referee system prevailing,
in the South.
Smith of Michigan opposed applica
tion of the classified service . law to
postmasters.
Carter found In the postal commis
sion's proposed change of the postal
laws a panacea for the ills mentioned.
Under that system the postal service
would be put upon a business basis, he
said, and by the elimination of 59,000
postmasters from politics the difficul
ties suggested by Bacon would be
overcome.
The Carter scheme did not appeal to
"Hale. He denounced It as a plan for
the obliteration of all state lines and
the usurpation of power by the Federal
Government.

Gillett's Secretary Says He
Can't Prevent Fight.
LAW IS TOO AMBIGUOUS
In Governor's Absence Clergy Are
Advised to Apply to District At
torney, But Are Warned of
Obstacles In His Way.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.. May 5. In re
sponse to scores of letters received at
the - Governor's office every day since
the death of Tommy McCarthy after'his
fight with Owen Moran in San Fran
cisco last Friday, urging that Governor
Gillett prevent the Jeffries-Johnson
fight on July 4, E. ForreBt Mitchell,
executive secretary to the Governor,
sent out answers today saying the
Governor is helpless to Interfere.
The letters were addressed to relig
ious organizations in Alameda County,
San Francisco. Santa Clara, Los An
geles and Fresno. The copy given out
by Mr. Mitchell, which officially makes
known the Governor's stand on the
matter, is as follows:
"This office is in receipt of your let
ter inclosing resolutions passed by the
Ministerial Union of Fresno relative to
suppressing the Jeffries-Johnson prize
fight, or contest, July 4, 1910.
"Governor Gillett is en route to
Washington at the present time, and
probably will not return to Sacramento
for at least a month. Lieutenant and
Acting Governor Porter will not be in
this office until a week or ten days
from now. Replying to your letter in
their absence, permit me to say that
Governor Gillett is not in favor of
prizefights: that he has never attended
one in his life, and says that he never
will. However, under the laws of
California, I believe he is powerless to
prevent or suppress this so-called box
ing contest, because the law allows
such contests. If the necessary permit
to be obtained has been granted by
the local authorities. In this instance
I understand this permit - has been
granted.
"I would suggest that you file your
complaint with the District Attorney
of Alameda County, and if this is a
prizefight and not a boxing contest, he
has the law in his hands to put a stop
to it- In all probability, however, the
local authorities will be seriously
handicapped until such time as the law
is amended by the State Legislature so
that a distinction is clearly shown be
tween a prizefight and a so-called box
ing contest."
The annual session of the Oregon con
ference of the Free Methodist Church
began in Ashland today, with about 80
delegates In attendance.
