VERDICT AGHNST HYDE IS REVERSED Appeal Court Grants Doctor New Trial and His Hope Again Rises. : EVIDENCE NOT CONCLUSIVE Change of Counsel for Prosrcntloa I.lkrly, A1-k Change of Yenoe and Mrs. Swps . Falllnr Health May Remore Imptloi. KANSAS CITT. Mo, April 11. Action In the B. Clark Hyde murder case, which the Fupreme Court of Missouri today reversed and remanded to this county tor new trial, tonight awaits the arrival of the official mandate from Jefferson City. Attorneys for both the state and the defense can make no definite plana for the future until they have read this document. That the case will be retried Is cer tain, said Prosecutor Virgil Conkling. who also said that action might be brought against Hyde on one of the other charges, as. for Instance, the rharcre of first derree murder In con nection with the death of Chrisman fciwope. While no definite statement can he obtained regarding whether the special counsel retained In the first trial to assist Mr. Conkling will again be avail able. It la said on good authority that be will not. lie Its of Colonel Thomas H. Swope. other than Mrs. Logan O. Swope, Ir. ICyde'a mother-in-law. were always averse to hiring this special counsel on account of the great cost entailed. At one time during the preparations for the first trial these attorneys threatened to withdraw from the case when an effort was made to reduce thlr fees. Prank P. Walsh, head counsel for Dr. Hyde, said tonight that. If the case Is retried, it will be before Judge F. E. I'orirrBeld. who presides over the sec ond Ul vision of the Criminal Court. Dr. H de' attorneys may take a ctiange of venue to Judge Porterfteld. if they de fine nd he Is satisfactory to them. Judse i'orterfleld said tonight be would serve) In case the trial la brought to lum. As Mr. Walsh understands the action of the Supreme Court, no mention la made as to whether Dr. Hyde Is admis sible to bond. The attorney, therefore, will ask bond for the prisoner aa early s possible. Judre Latham says he will not be able to pass on the question of bond until the mandate arrives. lloth sides are anxious for an early r trial. Mr. Walsh is ready to berin the second trial any day. he says. Mr. t'nnkllnv ts of the opinion today thst the state will be ready for trial within two weeks. When the trial will begin, however, depends upon the condition of Mrs. J .or an O. Swope. who Is In La Angeles. Although the secret baa been carefully ciarded. she is in mrch poorer health then is generally admitted. And she Is the guiding light in the prosecution of Dr. tvd. Mm. Hyde, who had been waiting for the decision at her lawyer's office, ap peared at the jail le tilnutes after Its receipt. 8he was admitted Immediate ly to the eellroom. and rushing to that occupied by her husband, embraced and kissed him. Soon husband and wife were joined bv the physician's attorneys. Frank Walh and Mr. deary, and an earnest conference ensued. I-ster. both Dr. and Mrs. Hyde each gave out a statement. Dr. Hyde said: "Of course I am disappointed that my rase was not reversed outright. 1 shall. Imwever. struggle on with an unbroken spirit, confident that I will convince net only the officers of the law. but the world, of my complete Innocence of the terrible charges laid against me. In the darkest hour of my affliction. I have been sustained by the loving kindness of countless friends who be lieved In my Innocence, as well as a firm belief In the Idea that under our system of laws, while mistakes of judgment upon the part of court and Juries may temporarily Intervene, yet In the end Justice Is sure to prevail. I look forward with serene con fidence to my acquittal In my next trial. I have learned that a man can stand anything with a wife like mine, believing In him and sustaining him." Mrs. Hyde's statement follows: I wss sure that the Supreme Court would free my husband. The law Is a mtery to me. I was with Dr. Hyde during every hour he was charged with committing these offenses against those who were near and dear to me. I know the utter falsity of the charges against him. I know the law will give my hus band back to ' me. not because I love Mm and he loves me. but because he la Innocent. The decision, which was written by Judge Franklin Ferris, reaches the con clusion as to the death of Colonel Thomas H. Swope that "If we were to lay aside the testimony of one witness for the slate. Dr. Vaughn, we would find It difficult to reach a satis factory conclusion that there Is suffi cient proof to make a prima facie case of death by poisoning. According to the authorities, the symptoms ss detailed In the evidence are not cleurly and unmis takably those of strychnine poisoning nor cf cyanide." Dr. Bennett Clark Hyde wss convicted on Msy U last of the murder of Colo nel Hwnne. the nhvslclan's uncle by marriage. On July 4. after denying Dr. Hyde a new trial. Judge Ralph Latshaw sentenced Mm to life Imprisonment In the peMt.cnt.'arr.

He will visit Shanlko, the home of the nockmaster; he will travel along the rugged Des chutes River and take a glimpse here and there of the Devil's Woodpile, which Is only a portion of the weird and wild scenery of the world's greatest canyon the Deschutes. He expects to travel by stage over the new wagon road from Bend to Bums, which, it is asserted. 111 change the line of travel from the .central portion of the state to the near est railway outlet for its product.
