Kansas City. Mo.. October 15.?The fa?
mous Swope poisoning case will again
engage public attention, when Dr. B.
' C. Hyde Is placed on trial here to-mor?
row for the second time on the charge
of murdering his father-in-law. Col?
onel Thomas II. Swope, the aged mil?
lionaire pnilanthrop'st, und ether rela
i lives, in order that he might Inherit
1 the Swope fortune.
Dr. Hyde's til at trial, which took
place in the spring of 1910, resulted In
iiis conviction and his sentence to life
imprisonment. The case was appealed
. to thj State Supreme Court, und the
decision wus reversed April 11, 1911,
; und a new trial ordered. In handing
1 down Its decision the Supreme Court
ruled out a number of vital points fn
, the State's case, Including the poison
, plot testified to by members of the
, Swope family, and us a result the ut
; torneys for the defense feel conlldent
.of a verdict of acquittal for their cl<
j ent.
I Few criminal cases In the Southweat
: have furnished such sensations as the
' Hyde case, and none hus developed such
strange and uncanny evidence. Coupled
with these features were the prom'
; nence and wealth of the family and the
strange methods adopted by the nl
i legc.1 murderer for disposing of his
| victims.

nian swallowed a capsule, was Imme
diatcly seized with convulsions, anu
died the following day. blood tests
of other members of the Swope house?
hold showed thorn also to be sufCeilng
from typhoid.
About this time Dr. Hyde replenished!
his stock of cyanide, purchasing'
thirty" grains on December 1 and sixty
live days later. On December 12 ho
gave Miss Margaret Swopo a hypo?
dermic injection, wheh caused tier arm
to swell and so weakened her physi?
cal condition that grave fears were en?
tertained by others of liiu family fur
her safety.
Becomes luriuiBlttrc.
Shortly after tills Incident Dr. Stew?
art, wiio hud been cognl?unt of the
j mysterious fate thai seemed to follow
ihe SwopoB with death und pestilence,
became lnqulslllvu about llio alleged
experiments Hyde w,us supposed to be
making with the typhoid germu, and
called at his colleague's office, sub
stlluling devitalize^ typhoid gei4hs for!
the remainder of the origluul consign?
ment ho found in the euliures. This
was done during Hyde's absence.
On Decemicr 17 Dr. Hyde returned
to Independence. Mo., with Lucy Leo
iSwope, who had been taken violently
ill Immediately after swallowing a
draught of water handed to her by
tile duclor.
The day following Margaret Swope,
? .tier a tulk with the accused phy?
sician, swullowed a cupsule and w^is
' Immediately taken with convulsions,
from which she was relieved w'th a
I strong emetic administered by a
I nurse in the doctor's absence. The
! ejeeta was secretly saved In u scaled
Jur by the nurse and later was found
to contain strychnine,
I Dr. Twyman attended Margaret dar?
ing her convalescence, and to him tne
nurses ol the Swope huusehold confided
their tearb', staling that they would
leave the employ ot the family unless
; Dr. Hyde were ordered away.
Following this Incident. Dr. Twyman
summoned Hyde to his oflieo tor a
talk, and during the doctor's walk to
the meeting place he was shadowed by
I Thomas Swope, his brother-in-law, who
noticed thnt the accused physician
! drew something from his pocket and
. ground it beneath his heel as ho
! walked. Thjinas gathered up the
crushed object and found it to be a
strychnine tablet.
i Following als conversation with Dr.
Twyman. Hyde left the Swope house?
hold, and It was here that his young
wife was called upon to decide be?
tween her husband and her wealthy
relatives. She chose to follow the for.
' tunes of her husband, remaining his
untiring aid through a'li his mlsfor
i tunes, and causing a breach 'between
; herself and her mother which has
never been healed.
1 Miss Lucy Lee Swope, she who was
taken violently ill en route for the
West, was -the next victim. On Decem?
ber 21 she developed typhoid, calling
to her attendunce Drs. Frank J. Had,
K. L_ Stewart and Walter M. Cross,
who Improved the occasion by making
[a thorough examination of the prem?

Authorities Aroused.
By this time the authorities had be?

I of Colonel Swope, and cyanide in
the stomach and liver of Chrlsman
, Swope.
I The other events, culminating in the
' trial of Dr. Hyde, followed In quick
I succession. On January 25 the press
I of the West first gave to the world
tho suspicions that were fast drawing
a ^tet about the doctor.
On January 31 Dr. Hyde brought suit
for libel and slander against a news?
paper of Kansas City and several
prominent physicians of thut town.
On February 9 the coroner's Jury
declared that Colonel Swope had come
to his death by poison administered
by Dr. Hyde, and on March 5 the grand
jury returned eleven Indictments
against tho doctor charging him with

Payment of Pensions.

During Past Year $157,325,160'

1
Washington Cctober 15.?A sa"|ug,
estimated at ? 1,000,000 annually 10
the pensioners of tho United .States
and eventually about ?iso.uoo a year
to the government. Is contemplated by
a simplified plan for the paymen-. of
pensions without vouchers, which Com?
missioner of Pensions J. L Davonpor:
submitted to the Secretary of the In?
terior In his annual report mado pub?
lic to-day. Uurlng tho year, $157,'125,
160 wns paid us pensions, a decrease
of $3.408,15/1 from last year, bringing
up the total amount paid in pens.otis
since the foundation of the govern?
ment to $4,230,381,730. There were !-5 -
185 names dropped from the rolls and
26,200 added, leaving a net loss of 2>,
OS." pensioners, and making the total
number at the end of the year 832.
0S8, tho smallest sinco 1832. Methous
of economy resulted in a decrease ot
the cost of administration by $140,310
to ?2,517.127, tho lowest Blnce 1882.
llcqiilrcn Aact of Congress.
Commissioner Davenport's plan,
which wus devised ut the request of
Congrcrs, and which will require tho
passage of a law by that body to
carry it Into effect, would greatly sim?
plify the methods of paying pensions,
result In the mailing of pension checks
on tho dale upon which the pension
falls due, eliminate the cost to the
pensioners in a large majority of
cases of the execution of pension
vouchers, which varies from ?1 to ?3
yearly; decrease to a considerable ex?
tent the work In drawing and mailing
of pension checks and eliminate the
sending of 1.000,000 letters yearly
through the malls, saving about 580,
000 thereby
The plan contemplates payment di?
rect by checks, mailed to tho lost ad?
dress of the pensioner. Co-opcratlon
from the Post-Os.ce Department in
delivering the letters containing tho
checks would be required. Besides, the
indorsement on the back of thc30
checks, the government would require,
under this plan, certification by two
witnesses as to the identity of the
person obtaining the money.
In a few Instances, Commissioner
Davenport said, vouchers still would
be required. Where ponsloncrs were
laboring under legal disabilities, he
would require a voucher of the guar
dla l. Where widows draw pay for
minor children, voucher would bo re?
quired under tho Davenport plan.
Is Seeking Fraud.
1 Commissioner Davenport told of his
: efforts to uscertaln the truthfulness
of reports in the press anil elsewhere
1 that the pension roll was honeycomb?
ed with fraud. He sent Held men from
pensioner to pensioner In the Wash?
ington agency, and Is now doing the
same in the Knoxville agency, with a
view of ascertaining the presence of
fraud. ,
; Out of a total of 47,181 pensioners
seen and questioned, only twenty-six
cases of Improper pensioning were re?
vealed. Five widows' names were
dropped from the roll, one on the
ground that she was not the legal
widow of a soldier. The names of
two invalid pensioners were dropped
because It was shown that they de?
serted from former service and re?
ceived bounties for re-enllstment. Two
persons were arrested on charges of
being bogus special examiners, nnd
two others were reported as wanted.
Ou 1'ennlon Holl.
The number of soldiers and sailors"
on the pension roll at the close of tho
fiscal year was 670,050; dependents'
und widows, 321,042. nnd army nurses.
?106. There were 529,881 survivors of
the Civil War, 35,243 having died dur
liifr the year. It is believed that only
about !SS per cent, of tho estimated
2.213,365 Individuals in the United
States service during the Civil Wnr,
are now living, the death rate of tho
survivors being now slightly In excess
of 6 per cent, yearly. The average
age of survivors is now about seventy
years.
During the year the last pensioner
of the Revolutionary War died. She
was Mrs. Phoebe M. Polmeter, pen?
sioned uy ;i special act of Congress
as the daughter of Jonathan W'oolev,
who served In a New Hampshire com?
pany. She died at Urookileid, N. V-,
April 25, 1911, aged ninety years.
Mrs. Briltnnniu W. Kennon, of
Wushington,' D. C, u great-grand?
daughter of Martha Washington, who
died during the year, drew a pension
lia a widow longer probably than any
other person in the history of the
Pension Ofllce. having received ?50 a
m .ith, almost sixty-seven years. Mrs.
Kennon was the widow of the captain
of tho United States ship Princeton,
who was killed February 2,8, 1S44, by
the bursting of u cannon on that ves?
sel, on which occasion two members
of President Tyler's Cabinet wore
killed.
