NURSE SWEARS TO
FATEFUL PROPHECY
MADE BY DR. HYDE
'Col. Swope Will Never Return to
Kansas City,' Words Attri
buted to Defendant
DEFENSE RAISES VITAL POINT
Insists Testimony Be Restricted
to Circumstances of Mil
lionaire's Death
[Associated Frees]
fTANSAS CITY. April 19.—"Colonel
KANSAS never return to Kan-
Swopo will never return to Kan
■"■ sas City."
This prophecy, testified Miss Pearl
Keller, a nurse, in the Hyde murder
•trial today,l was made to her liy Dr.
B. C. Hyde in Independence, Mo., a
few days before Colonel Swope died.
She was Colonel Swope's nurse
Dr. Hyde's remark, said Miss Keller,
was made when she informed the phy
sician Colonel Swope planned to come
here to his office In a few days. Her
patient "was at that time, testified the
nurse. In better physical condition than
he had been for -weeks. He was able
to take dally drives and seemed In
(food spirits, she said.
Between the time Dr. Hyde is al
]eß|d to have made the remark and
Colonel Swope's death, .Tames Moss
Hunton, a cousin of Swope, died.
Miss Keller, who was taking up the
Pwope mysteries in chronological or
der, had begun to tell of the illness of
Hunton when the defense objected.
Attorneys for Dr. Hyde claim testi
mony regarding no other death or ill
ness than that of Colonel Swope should
he admitted in the present trial. Be
fore Miss Keller resumes the stand this
point will be decldi
The matter is a vital one. If the
court upholds the obejetion the evi
dence regarding the death of Hunton
or Chrisman Bwope, the illness of Mar
garet Swope or the typhoid epidemic
In the Swope house will be admitted.
Miss Keller was the first important
•witness called by the state this after
noon. Three men, Oscar Cog-sell, Jesse
.T. Vineyard and F. T. Chiles, were
asked to Identify Colonel Swope's will
and the appraisement list of his per
sonal property.
WAX.SII OUTXUfBS DEFENSE
Frank P. Walsh delivered, the open-
Ing statement for the defense today,
occupying the entire morning session.
His address contained many rebukes
for Mrs. Logan O. Swope, charges of
trickery against the chemists employed
to make the analyses of the viscera
of Thomas H. and Christian Swope,
and a prediction that the defense would
be able to disprove every charge made
against Dr. Hyde by the state.
In part, Mr. Walsh said the defense
would introduce testimony to prove
that:
Neither Dr. Hyde nor his wife
knew before the death of Colonel
Bwope whether they were to share In
the residuary of Ills estate.
Socond—Mrs. Ivogan 0. Swope was
deeply prejudiced against I>r. Hyde
because she thought he gave Mrs. Hyde
financial advice contrary to the opin
ions of her mother.
Third—The charge that cyanide of
potassium had been found in the or
g-ans of Colonel and Chrisman Swope
was an eleventh hour trick trumped
up by the prosecution. Dr. Hyde had
*iuch poison in his office to eradicate
vormin.
Fourth—For years tho Swope family
had taken medicine compounded by
Chessslng Hatred Chase Jordan, an al
leged South American doctor, who
holds no physician's certificate.
Fifth — Sanitary conditions alone were
responsible for the spread of fever in
the Swope residence.
Sixth—Original statements from the
Swope chemists stated that there was
no poison either in the stomach of Miss
Margaret Swope or in capsules thrown
way by Dr. Hyde, but when Mr. Pax-

ton waa sued by the physician, a re
port of the presence of poison, was Im
mediately made.
Seventh—Every attempt of the de
fense to gain possession of the viscera
of the two Swopes to make medical ex
amination had been repulsed.
Eighth—ln removing: the organs of
Colonel and Chrljman Swope, little
care was exercised, so that the orsans
as examined were not in the same con
dition as when In the bodies.
Ninth —Colonel Swope, up to the day
of his death, took various medicines
containing- strychnine.
Tenth —Dr. Hyde never told Miss
Keller, in handing hi r a capsule for
Colonel Swope, to "make him take ft."
Eleventh—Dr. G. W. Twyman held
the tie-string which controlled the flow
of blood from James Moss Httnton's
body when Dr. Hyde bled him.
Twelfth —Mrs. Hyde's diary showed
Dr. Hyde was not in the Swope resi
dence on many days when he is :u- )
cused of having spread typhoid fever
ge-iiis there.
Thirteenth—Dr. Hyde and Colonel
Bwope were tho best of friends and the
physician was always kind to the ol<l
man.
Fourteenth—There was no desire on
T>r. Hyde's part, either covert or ex
pressed, to act as an executor of the
estate of Colonel Swope.
Fifteenth —Colonel Swope was In such !
physical condition thnt his demise
mipiit have been expected at any time.
Sixteenth— The tests by the chemists
to search for strychnine in the bodies
will not prove conclusively that this
poison and not another had been found.
Seventeenth—Colonel swope never
refused to tnke any medicine left for I
him by Dr. Hyde,
All these things Mr. Walsh said he
would prove by his own witnesses and
by admissions from state's witnesses.
Speaking; of the private life of Colonel
Swope, Mr. Walsh stated that during;
the last twenty-live years of Colonel
Bwope'i life he wns drunk 'very after
noon. His custom of taking a tonle
i ontainlng strychnine as mentioned.
