QUESTIONS BOTHER DOGTOH.
Wrangling of Attorneys Plainly Dis
concerts Him ana His Face Is
Flushed Mrs. Hyde Contradicts
Statements of Nurses Regarding
Husband's Treatment of Patients.
Kansas City, May 10. Dr. Eonnett
Clark Hyde, on trial charged with poi
soning Colonel Thomas H. Swope, took
tho witness stand in his own defense.
Using one of Dr. Twyman's Jnsiru
ments, said Dr. Hyde, ho bled James
Moss Hunton.
"Did Dr. Twyman say anything
about bringing the bleeding to a
close?" Interrogated Mr, Walsh.
Dr. Hyde tried to answer the ques
tion by giving the substance of the
conversation between hjm and Dr.
Twyman, and tho lawyers wrangled
over the responses. The witness was
plainly disconcerted and seemed to bo
confused by the objections of the at
torneys. His face flushed ana he
mopped the perspiration from his
brow with a handkerchief. Finally tho
squabbling closed, and he answered:
"Dr. Twyman said something about
enough blood having been removed.
He never said, however, that we had.
as much blood ns should have been re
moved from any man. We took, in all,
about two or three "pints of blood. Dr.
Twyman stopped the flow " with a
str,lng."
He denied' that this was too much
to take from him and declared that
Hunton died from apoplexy.
Mrs. Hyde Also Witness.
From the lips of Mrs. Hyde tho Jur
ors also heard the story of the Swops
tragedy.
The salient features of her testi
mony were her declarations that:
Dr. Twyman adjusted the string
which stopped the flow of blood from
Mr. Hunton's body. She did not re
quest her husband to stop the bleeding.
Colonel Tbomas H. Swope never
cried out on his death bed that he
wished he had never taken the men
Iclne Dr. Hyde gave h.lm. The mil
lionaire's symptoms were entirely dif
ferent from those described by the
nurses who testified for the state.
She ate of the candy which Dr.
Hyde gave the Swope children and it
did not make her ill.
She ordered the filtered water taken
to the Swope house, and that tho fam
ily is now using it. Dr. Hyde was pot
at the Swope home the day it is al
!Ked he infected the drinking, water.
