Attorneys Walsh , and Lucas Interviewed
Dr. Hyde In his cell. Newspaper men were
not . permitted to see the convicted man.
t'pon leaving the prisoner, Mr. Walsh Said:
"Dr. Hyde Is bright and cheerful. lie
feels the fight has Just begun. This prob

more cheerful than I was the day the case
started. The supreme court Will treat us
fairly." , . ;
No now in Jury Room.
After their discharge, the Jurors went
Immediately to their hotel to obtain their
personal belongings.
Their valises secured, the Jurors did not
separate at once, but remained to talk and
gave promises of continuing the friend
ships formed In the Jury room.
"Wo positively decided not to discuss our
deliberations," Frank Claypool, the fore
man, said. ,
"Was there a row In the Jury room last
night?" he was asked.
"Absolutely not," he said. "Of course,
we argud heatedly, but there was no fric
tions." ' '
Juror . Johnson of Sibley,. Mo., who was
said to have been In the fight, denied
emphatically that there had been one.
"You felt Justified, did you," he was
isked, "in holding out so long for
acquittal?"
"Yes," he raid. '
In' response - to other questions, John
son refused to commit' himself further.
Juror Llllard, who It had been stated was
one of those-who had held 'oat for con
viction from the start, declined to say
what any of the ballots had been.
"Of course," he said, "we had some dif
ficulty In reaching a verdict, as the length
of time we were out indicates, but there
was no friction of any kind."
Statement of Proacentor.
Virgil Conkling, prosecutor of Jackson
county, who led the fight against Dr. Hyde
for the state. Issued the following statement
following the report of the Jury:-.
"It was neceBsar) for the state to
first convince a skeptical but honest cor
oner's Jury; to next convince a
skeptical but honest grand Jury, and lastly.
It was necessary for the state to present to
a skeptical but honest trial Jury evidences
which not only proved, but overwhelmingly
demonstrated the defendant's guilt and
absolutely showed the utter Impossibility ot
his Innocence.
"The state of Missouri owes to Judge
Ralph S. aLtshaw a proud apd grateful ac
knowledgment for hla iniparUai but lafelx
lblo enforcement of the law.
"The Jury Is entitled to the hlRhest re
spect of the public for its faithful labors,
and Its bravo and conscientious -discharge'
of a stern duty. '-.
"Marshal Mayes and all his deputies,. Used
such unceasing vigilance that any oppor
tunity for a miscarriage of Justice was
rendered Impossible,
"The loss of the graiid Jury note and
their subsequent discovery In the-hands of
the defense, coupled with the defiant re
fusal of the defense to restore thone notes
to the court only resulted In demonstrat
ing the desperate position of the defense
and what an awful guilt lay . behind such
der.pf-ratn and defiant action.
"The result shows that It Is yet possible
In Missouri to convict a preat criminal
when he Is defended by great wealth and
influence."
Mrs. I.onrnn . Swope Talks.
Mrs. Logan O. Swope was feeling Im
proved in spirits this afternoon and she
consented to talk.
"If I had not been satisfied I was doing
tho right thing," he said, " I never would
have started this prosecution of my son-in-law.
"I am convinced Justice has been given
the defendant. Of course, it does not be
hoove me to say whether I wanted to see
him hanged.
"As for a reconciliation wlthmy daugh
ter, I eland now as I have always stood.
The doers of my house, and my arms and
heart aro open to her whenever she wants
to come lutiie. My mother love for her has
neve coeled. I have thought she was mls
tuken, but never that she was other than
tho sweet Innocent girl she Is."
I'nxtou lias .ottain to Say.
John CI. Paxion, the executor of the
Swope estate, who, with Mrs. Swope, has
taken the lead In tho prosecution, declined
absolutely to ta!k of the verdict.
'I have not a word to say," declared Mr.
raxlon. "I have been forced to take a part
in this case as a matter of duty. From
the start I have fought against being
quoted In this case and certainly I shall
not nay anything at this time." '
Following the first Investigation of the
Swcpo case, Mr. Paxton sent a letter to
Mr. Fleming, a co-executor In Kentucky,
describing the scenes at tho Swope home
during the illness of the various members.
Soon thereafter Frank P. Walsh, attorney
for Dr. Hyde, Instituted suit for' libel
against Mr. Paxton, asking for $100,000 dam
ages. The tr.al of the libel suit was post
poned when the murder trial of Dr. Hyde
was begun.
IIlSTOllY- OF THE FAMOUS CASE
Convicted Physician Aroused of Cans
litre Death of Several Persona.
KANSAS CITY,. Mo., May 16.-Dr. B.
Clark Hyde has been under suspicion In
connection with the mysterious deaths and
Illness In the Swope family ever since the
death of Colonel Thomas H. Swope on
October, S, 1909.
The death of Colonel Swope followed soon
after he had suffered a severe convulsion
and tho convulsion, It was charged by
members of the Swope family, followed Im
mediately after the administration of a
capsule given at the direction of Dr.
Hyde. Dr. Hyde said It was a digestive
tablet
It was proven at the trial that Dr. Hyde
had purchased cyanide of potassium In
five-grain caps'iles and he was prose
cuted on the belief that he gave one of
these capsules to Colonel Swope. Dr. Hyde
said he bought the cyanide capsules to
kill cockroaches In his office.
Two days before the death of Colonel
Swope, Moss Hunton, a cousin of the mil
lionaire philanthropist, died at the Swope
home, following a stroke of apoplexy. Dr.
Hyde and Dr. O. T. Twyman of Independ
ence treated Hunton. The patient was
bled profusely, It Is charged, at the sug
gestion of Dr. Hyde. After six pints of
blood was taken from Hunton the bleeding
process was stopped, but not until Dr.
Twyman had repeatedly protested that too
much blood was being taken from the old
man.
Beginning early In December an epidemic
of typhoid fever broke out In the Swope
home, during which ten members of the
family were stricken, and one, Chrlsman
Swope, a brother of Dr. Hyde's wife, died.
Chrisman died after taking a capsule
given at Dr. Hyde's direction and after suf
fering a convulsion nlmllar to the one that
attacked Colonel Swope.
Margaret Swope, Chrisman's sister, who
also was treated by Dr. Hyde, had a con
vulsion after taking a capsme, but she was
given an emetic immediately by Dr. Twy
man and she recovered.
On January 7, 1910, the body of Chrisman
Swope was secretly exhumed, and four
days later the body of Colonel Swope was
removed from Its tomb and the viscera of
the bodies were taken to Chicago for
analysis.
The analysis of the liver of Colonel
Swope's body resulted in. the finding of
fifty-two sixty-sixths of a grain of strych
nine by the Chicago chemists. . .
The coroner of this county then sum
moned a Jury, which after Investigating the
death of Colonel Swope decided that he
died as the result of strychnine poisoning
administered at the direction of Dr. HyJe.
The county prosecutor then issued a war
rant charging Dr. -Hyde with murder In the
first degree, after John O. Paxton, executor
pf the Swope estate, had filed an Informa
tion against the physician.
Judge Latshaw then einpanneled a grind
Jury, which was ordered to Investigate
every phase of the 8wope mystery. The
grand Jury returned Indictments charging
Dr. Hyde with murder In the first decree
In connection with the death of -Colonel
Swope and Chrisman Swope and man
slaughter In connection with the death of
Moss Hunton.
In all. Dr. Hyde was Indicted on eleven
counts, the remaining Indictments charging
him with trying to murder members of the
Swope family. Introducing typhoid germs
ard poisons into the medicines administered
by him.
BOOSTERS INVADE DAKOTA
(Continued from First Page.)
rt-ade boosters of Omaha began their 2,500-
mile march at Platte this morning, and re
gardless of the early hour fully 2,000 peo
ple were on the streets, coming In from
the country for many miles In their autoa
to meet the party.
All went well at Platte until the boosters
began to throw out the sheep bells, when a
band which had been playing for an hour
broke ranks and began the scramble for
souvenirs. While the organisation looked
like a full-grown band, standing at the end
of the long main street, the party realised
when they broke ranks, and the bass drum
started for a sheep bell, that It was a boys'
band and nothing could call them from
the lure ot the bells, not even the angry
shouts of an older bandmaster.
Nine bulging elevators of grain at
Gedde.s and twelve miles of green wheat
fields between Platte and Geddes told a
story to the Omahans that they will not
soon forget. From the number of people
at the stations It Is also evident that this
country, only a little more than 10 years
old, is friendly to Omaha.

' CurroU's Manilla Speech.
Friends of Governor Carroll believe 'that
ho made the strongest possible showing
for his candidacy for governor In his
speech last' night at Manila, In Crawford
county. He cohfiried himself entirely to a
defense ot his : administration as governor
and to pointing out tome of the things yet
to be done. He also -denied the right of
Senators Cummins and Dolllver to take a
hand In the campaign. After referring to
the fact that every other candidate for a
second term Is running on his record In
tho office while the disposition Is to treat
his case as one In, a class by Itself and
discussing his record as state auditor, he
said: - " '
In the office I now occupy I have not
given so much attention to the question
of legislation as I have to trying to put
the affalrs.pt the state upon a business
basis and to rid it of graft and unfaithful
official service. : The recent session of our
legislature, however,, enacted many Im
portant laws. In which legislation I was
privileged to have some part. It would
be Inexpedient to even attempt to enumer
ate more than a few of the measures
passed, but I desire to mention the fol
lowing as airong the more Important
pieces of legislation:
"A law establishing a State Board of
Education to have charge of our state uni
versity, state norrriul school and agrlcul
ti ral college. ,
"A law to protect the rights of the la
boring man in cases of accident from de
fective machinery.
"A law whereby permanently disabled po
licemen and firemen may be pensioned.
"The entire military code of tie state
was revised so as to make It harmonize
and comply with the national law.
"An appropriation was made to the State
Dairy association to encourage the dairy
Interests of the state.
"The creation of a conservation and
waterways commission for the study of
the natural resources ef the. state.
"The establishment of a plant for the
manufacture of serum for the prevention
and cure of cholera among hogs. This was
strongly recommnded. by the Hon. James
W ilson, secretary of , agriculture of the
United States."
la Entirely . .onfoctlonal.
Governor Carroll showed by. the record
that he ha appointed as many of one
faction asof lhe,.othor'to office and has,
lij fact, given some tjl Ahe. leading places
In his administration to' 'progressives. Con
tinuing1, he said:
In appointments, ail well a In the dis
charge of every official duty, I have
thrown the doors wid open to my oppon
ents and have Invited them to oshIhi , In
reuniting the party, and they cannot lay
at my feet the responsibility, for their
failure to do so. It Is but fair, however,
for me to say that tnis contest cannot s
charged to those whom I have appointed to
official positions, as almost without excep
tion they are supporting me for renomlna
tlon. It has been charged that I am not ag
gressive. I will admit that I have not been
aggressive In trying to encourage factional
ism or dissension in the party, but If I
have at anv time or upon any occasion
faltered In the performance of official duty
or In the active support and defense of
the principles of tho party and of Its
nominees I am ready to answer to the
charge. I have always kept In mind that
a roan owes a duty to party as well as to
self and I have no desire to lead to victory
in June and to defeat In November. I have
endeavored upon all ocoasions to preserve
the Integrity of the party and to subordi
nate selfish Interests. Those opposed to
my renominatlon admit .that under every
rule of the party and upon the record
which I have made there is no Just ground
for a contest.

nomination? Naturally, under all the. cir
cumstances, the mayor feels hopeful, and
so do his closest advisers. They opine the
special session Is not to be called; albo
that the Shallenberger men will be as
anxious as the Dahlman cohorts to keep a
county local option plank out of tho plat

so far as Mr. Bryan Is concerned, between
the governor and the mayor, granting a

Tariff Law Needs
More Time, Says
Federal Auditor
Payne -Aldrich Act Cannot Be Judged
for Another Twelvemonth, States
W. E. Andrews.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Miy 1. Special. )-"It will
be another year before one will be able
to Judge accurately what the now tariff
law will do," said W, E. Andrews, auditor I
of the United Stales treaspry, who was
In Lincoln today. N
"The tariff law became operative after
the beginning of the present fiscal year and
until It has had a full year's trial to com
pare wtih a year under the old law It Will
not be possible to show deflnftcly what
effect the changes will have. At this time
I am working on a tabulation which, when
completed, will show the workings of tho
new law opmpared wtih the old. I am tab
ulating the revenue derived from the Im
portation of dutiable articles. The tabula
tion will show the same articles under the
old law. When this tabulation is com
pleted we will have absolute facts to take
the place of the present estimates. Until
that time I shall withhold any statement
regarding the law whether It Is a success
or not. If we keep on at the present rate.
collected the first year under the law will
amount to 34n,0O0,O00, which will be the
largest collection In the history of the
country, the largest amount up to this
time being In 1907, when the collections
amounted to $332,000,000.
"In my tabulation I am taking the act
ual amount of duty paid on an article,
and experts trained In the work ot the
tariff take that same article and figure
Just ' what would have been the revenue
produced under the Dlngley law. In that
way we aro going to be able to show ex
actly the changes the law has made. The
tabulation wfll show also the volume of
the Importations as well as the revenue
derived by the government.
"The tabulation will show just the facts
and every person who sees It will be able
to draw his own conclusions. I shall base
my conclusions of the law on that tabula
tion and when I make my statement I shall
give my reasons. Whether the law Is a
good one will have to be decided by the In
dividual when In possession of the facts.
"It Is an impossibility to enact a tariff
law against which there can be no criticism
offered and that Is not strange when one
considers the Immense volume ot business
which It affects. A change of a fraction of
a cent may mean a difference In revenue of
millions and a change of a fraction of a
mill may mean a difference of thousands.
"I was In New York Tuesday looking into
the Importations ot nugar Under the Dutch
standard, which, I believe, has been dis
cussed some around here but I will have
to continue that in our next."
Mr. Andrews is In Nebraska taking his
annual spring vacation. He will speak to
morrow night to the old soldiers at their
annual encampment at Falrbury. He will
visit his brother, Dr. Andrews, at Hold
rige, speak at the commencement exercises
at Hastings and other places, and return
to Washington on the night of June 8, after
speaking at Parsons college, Fairfield, la.
"I have put thdt matter away for deep
meditation," replied W. E. Andrews to a
question as to whether he intended to be a
candidate for the republican nomination
for governor.
"I believe the republican party will set
tle that question when the time comes anil
so I have given It very little thought. 1
have been busy In my work at Washington
and now that I am here on my vacation I
do not Intend to worry about the guberna
torial nomination. There are certainly
enough statesmen on the grounds to settle
the question and settle it right."

against me, I am perfectly willing to leave to
tiie Judgment of the people of the country
as to whether I acted treacherously or
patriotically and I feel certain the general
verdict will be In my favor. At any rate
I think Secretary Balllnger Is not an ex
cellent Judge of ethics."
