SAYS SWOPE VISCERA
WAS TAMPERED WITH
Defense Springs Sensation in
Trial of Dr. Hyde, of
Kansas City.
Kansas City. Mo., Fob. 24.—The bit
terest wrangle of the third trial of
B. Clarke Hyde for the murder of
Col. Thomas H. Swope took place to
day when attorneys for the defense
complained that they had been de
nied the right to examine the Swope
viscera through their own experts.
John Lucas, of the defense, made the
assertion that the viscera had been
‘‘tampered with.”
A proposition made by Prosecutor
Jacobs that the viscera be submitted
for examination to a commission oi
experts, to be appointed by the court,
was rejected by the defense after the
court had offered to appoint such a
commission.
The wrangle started when the prose
cutor stated angrily at the repeated
inquiries by Attorney Walsh as to
'what became of the Swope liver.”
‘ This is ,i play to the jury.” shouted
Prosecutor Jacobs "The defense well
knows that the liver was reduced in
examination to make the slides used
by the toxicologists."
When, after defense attorneys had
made further, complaint at being de
nied the viscera. Prosecutor Jacobs
sprang to his feet and made the offer
to submit to a commission what was
left of the viscera. Attorney Walsh
made the counter charge that the pros
ecution was ‘playing to the jury” and
rejected the proposal.

SUGGESTS AN EPITAPH
FOR JOHN PAUL JONES

controversy that attended the discov
ery and disinterment of the body of
John Paul Jones in France and its re
moval to a handsome crypt in the

napolis. Md., was heard in the navy
department today when an anonymous

“Good friend *or Porter’s sake for
bear
To doubt the dust enclosed here.
Blest be the man what got these
bones.
And curst be he who says ‘'Taint
Jones.’ ’’

ter. who' represented this government
at Paris from 1897 to 1905. and through
whose efforts the body of John Paul

Russell, superintendent of the Mattea
wan state hospital for the criminal In

Harry K. Thaw. The offer, he said
was made during the latter part of
1912 by a lawyer whose name he could
not remember, in an “uptown hotel"
in New York city and refused.
This testimony was developed during
an investigation of reports that Wil
liam F. Clark, secretary of the com
mittee. recently had requested Dr. Rus
sell to release Thaw on the grounds
thftt such an action was desired by
Governor Sulzer. The governor him
self stated previously that he had au
thorized no one to make such a re
quest.
Dr. James V. May, chairman of the
state hospital commission, another
witness, told of having been approached
l«y Clark several days ago with the
same request. Dr. May said he told
Governor Sulzer of the incident, and
the governor said he would not inter

authorized anybody to say he would.
TWO DEATHS CLEARED
UP BY NEAR TRAGEDY
Mystery of Demise of Sweet
hearts on Wedding Eve
Solved By Gas Discovery.
Cumberland, Md„ Feb. 24.—The mys
tery of the death of Charles Twigg and
Grace Elosser, in a room of the Elosser
home on the last day of December,
1910, which was the eve of the pro
posed marriage of the couple, is be
lieved to have been solved. Mrs.
Marshall Willison and her sister, Mrs.
Pearl Mangold, the present occupants
of the house In which the Twigg
Elosser tragedy occurred two years ago,
were overcome yesterday by carbonic
gas. The two women were rescued by
a neighbor who rushed in and dragged
them to the open air, where they were
resuscitated. The theory of poisoned
"kisses" was one of several thories ad
vanced at the time of the double trag
edy, but Mrs. Eouisa F. Elosser, moth
er of the dead girl, believed it was
carborfic gas that had killed the two.
The case of the two women yesterday
is regarded by the authorities as sub
stantiating her belief.
In the old Elosser home pieces oi
brick had been in the chimney to less
en the draft. An accumulation of soot
had later completely closed the aper
ture and the gas had overcome the
two women.

TURK-BALKAN WAR
LOSS OVER 200,000
Statisticians in Casting Up Ac.
counts Estimate This Num
ber Have Perished.
London, Feb, 22.—With what Is be
lieved to be the heaviest fighting of the
Balkan war already recorded, Kuropean
statisticians have been busily engaged
In trying to figure the loss of life and
money entailed by the campaign up
to the present day;
During the International conference
between the envoys of the rival fight
ing forces here, however, enough facts
were gleaned to warrant the assertion
that the present conflict has been one
of the mast bloody and costly In the
hlstery of modern warfare.
Conservative estimates have placed
the number of dead In the larger bat
tles of the early campaign as follows:
Turks. Allies.
Kirk Klllsseh and
Adrlaneple .26,000 7,000
Lule Burgas.40,000 26,000
At Kumanova . 7,000 6,000
Around Scutari. 8,000 6,000
Total .78,000 43.UUU
These figures, however, are regarded
as conservative and only- cover the im
portant battles of the campaign before
the truce was called. In addition to
them it is estimated that 60,000 Turk
ish soldiers perished as a result of
minor engagements and cholera, which
ravaged the Ottoman ranks on the re
treat to Constantinople. Thirty thou
sand men are also said to have been
lost by the allies through the same
causes. ThlH brings the estimated
Turkish loss up to 126,000 men and the
estimated loss to the fighting forces of
the allies up to 78,000, a total loss of
199,000 men, which may be said to in
clude the thousands who fell victims to
wounds, sickness, sudden death on the
field or were listed as missing.
These figures, of course, like all oth
ers that have been compiled, are based
only on conjecture and are believed by
many experts to be too conservative.
The actual losses of the campaign will
not be known probably for year* after
peace has been restored.
Money Lots Hard to Figure.
The monetary loss is incalculable.
Aside from the vast amount of money
required to carry on the actual opera
tions in the field, there is the destruc
tion of property, the Injury to com
merce and personal liabilities to figure.
Hundreds of towns and villages have
been devastated during the struggle.
Great cities have been damaged by fire
and pestilence. Private property has
been ravaged and the resources of the
governments involved have been almost
exhausted.
It Is significant that the Indemnity
asked by the Balkan envoys at the
recent conference with the Turks ran
into the hundred millions. A guess as
to the probably cost of the conflict
would make a total amount run far
into billions of dollars of American
money.
Another side of the conflict has been
the suffering entailed by the peasants
of both the allies and the Turks, the
depredations against women of both
nations and the butchery of non-com
batants, news of which filtered into the
press with the return of correspond
ents from the front. If these reports
are true, the Balkan trouble has been
marked wdth savagery and rapine more
atrocious than that which usually fol
lows in the wake of war.
Allies Suffer Losses.
A Oettlnje dispatch to the Times says
that the allies suffered seriously in the
three days’ fighting which ended in the
capture of Bardanjolt. The Montene
grins lost 1,000 killed and wounded on
the Tarabosch side and nearly 4,000 at
Bardanjolt. The Servians lost 800 at
Berdlca.
Scutari has proved itself able to
withstand the attack of 50.000 troops.
The Servians were handicapped by a
lack of heavy artillery.
It Is believed that the attack will be
renewed before the end of the week.
