Kansas City, Mo., May J?. Vx-.
B. C. Hyde, wife of Dr. Hyde, charged
with having murdered Col. Thomas
H. Swope, and daughter of Mrs. Lo
gan H. Swope, sister-in-law of the
dead capitalist, went upon the wit
ness stand today In her husband's
defense.
Mrs. flyde told cf her co":i?nii hy
the doctor, whica caused an eaitaui;--ment
between hor luother and hprsolf
and of her marriage, which Anally re
sulted In enmity between them, ac
cording to her testimony.
When Mrs. Hyde took the stand it
was predicted that her testimony
and cross-examination would perhaps
occupy nearly tho entire day. It was
stated that Dr. Hyde would then take
the stand in his own defense. Mrs.
Hyde wept as she described tho death
of Colonel Moss Hunton. The'colonel
hod been named as tho prospective
executor of tho estate of Colonel
Swope, and the prosecution charged
that Dr. Hydo purposely caused Hun
tons' removal because, as It is al
leged, ho stood In the way of Hydes
plans to gain tho Swopo millions.
Mrs. Hyde denied that Dr. Twy
man, the Swope family physician had
warned Hydo not to draw too much
blood from Hunton, when tho physi
cians wero bleeding him. She said
'hat Dr. Twyman himself held the
reads that controlled the flow or
i from the veins,
vrding tho eight cases of ty
phoi j'ver In the Swope family, Mrs.
Hyde said thatTDr. Hydo had advised
the Swopes for a year not to drink
water from the mains on the Swope
premises.

that Dr. and Mrs, Swope had been
guests of the Swopes at a dinner pre
ceding tho typhoid epidemic In the
family, and they brought their own
water, and drank it, while the Swopes
drank the hydrant water. The state
held that this showed a plot on the
part of Hyde to make tho family 111,
so that ho could poison them under
tho guise of treating them.
The witness declared that she, on
her own initiative, put the drinking
water In the automobile before going
to the Swope residence. 'She said
that Dr. Hydo did not know that she
had done so.
Mrs. Hyde denied that Thomas
Swopo had found capsules which h9
said Dr. Hyde had thrown away.
Sho said he was in the house at tho

DNITED FEKSS LEABED WIEE.
Chicago, May 9. Although Sen-
ator-Wllliam Lorlmer declares he has
no inieniion ot resigning, it la
'.thought posslblo that he will tempor
arily r61inquish his seat and demand
that the senate appoint a committee
to investigate his election. This ac
tion is predicted In political circles
hero following the indictments re
turned by the Cook county, Illinois,
grand Jury, caused by the allegations
of "State Representative Charles A
White that he had been paid to vote
for Lorlmer.
The grand Jury at Springfield today
is Investigating tho Lorlmer election,
beginning tho second week of the
probe. Other indictments, it is inti
mated, will bo roturned in Chicago.
The whole affair has caused so much
talk and notoriety, it is declared, that
Lorlmer is considering noking the
stato to begin an investigation of its
own, in order that ho may bo vindi
cate.
Washington dispatches received
here have repeatedly intimated that
Ldriraer would resign. Although tho
senator has refused to. talk of the
charges of bribery in connection with
his election, further than to deny
them, and to declare be would not re
sign It is known that ho has beon
greatly worried over tho affair, and
deslrcd.'that the case bo thoroughly
investigated.
Reports received from Washington
say that a number of senatorial con
ferences havo been held regarding
tho Lorimer matter.
Tho senators, it is declared, have
been considering the advisability of
forcing Lorlmer to resign, and socuro
vindication before resuming his .du
ties in tho senate.
The friends of the senator hero In
tlmate that, as a compromise tho Chi
cago senator may retire from active
duties, pending investigation, and se
cure investigation by he senate as
well.
Thero is much speculation ns to
who would be named should Lorlmer
bja forced out. It is gonorally be
lldyed that Govornor Deneon favors
former Senntor Hopkins, defeated for
re-election at the last legislature, on
the ground tho people of Illinois nonj
inated Hopkins at tho primaries held
baforo tho senatorial election. Doneen
