DEFENSE
Court Permits Disputed
Testimony to Go In
1 Nurse’s Story is Black
KANSAS CITY, April 20.—It was
■only when asked three times by Dr.
U. T. Twyman and once by Mrs.
Hyde to stop the flow of blood from
James Moss Hunton that Dr. B. C.
Hyde closed a wound in the patient's
arm. testified Miss Pearl Keller,
nurse, in the Hyde murder trial to
day.
A few minutes after Hunton’s
■death, she further said. Dr. Hyde im
portuned her to use her influence in
having him made the administrator
of Col. Swope’s estate, to succeed
Hunton, but she refused.
During the examination of the wit
ness the attorneys for Dr. Hyde made
frequent objections to the testi
mony. The particular point upon
which the defense based objections
was the giving of the details of :
James Moss Hunton's death.
The objections were overruled, !
however, the court holding that the
state was attempting to prove a mo
tive on the part of Dr. Hyde in the
alleged killing of Hunton.
"Colonel Swope will never return i
to Kansas City.”
This prophecy, testified Miss Kel- 1
ler, was made to her by Dr. B. C. !
Hyde in Independence a few days i
before Colonel Swope died.
Dr. Hyde’s remark, said Miss Kel
ler, was made when she informed the
physician Colonel Swope planned to
come here to his office in a few days.
Her patient was at that time, testi
fied the nurse, in better physical con
dition than he had been for weeks.
He was able to take dally drives and :
seemed in good spirits, she said.
Between the time Dr. Hyde Is al
leged to have made the remark and
Colonel Swope’s death, James Moss
Hunter, cousin of Swope, succumbed. I
If the court had upheld the objec
tions no evidence regarding the
deaths of Hunter or Christian Swope,
the Illness of Margaret Swope, or the
typhoid epidemic In the Swope home i
would be admitted. The court has!
held up to this time that the state
should be permitted to Introduce all
the testimony named as It Is intend-{
ed to show the motives on the part I
of the defendant.

LITTLE RUTH HATHAWAY IS
DEAD FROM INHALING FIRE
Breathed Death as She Ran in Flam.‘
ing Clothing From Bonfire Monday
Sad indeed was the end which
came yesterday afternoon at the
Steptoe hospital to little Ruth Hatha
way, aged six, when she died from
burns sustained Monday evening as
she ran with flaming dress from a
bonfire to the nrms of her mother
some distance away in the home of
I the family on F avenue in East Ely.
The condition of the little girl was
not deemed to bo erltienl until yes
terday morning, when it developed
that she was suffering from the ef
fects evidently of internal complica
tions brought through inhnlation of
the flames which flared from her
dress after it caught from the bonfire
about which she had been playing.
—
The sufferings of the child from the
burns about her head and body and .
the Internal Injury became much j
greater during the early part of the
day, and end In the afternoon was
foreseen. All possible for her relief
was done, but to no avail.
The little girl was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hathaway and |
the funeral will occur from their<
home this afternoon. Mrs. Hathaway
in endeavoring to put out the Are in |
the clothing of the child Monday j
evening was herself severely burned
about the hands and arms.

smelter employe. In their grief the i
family have the very deep sympathy
of the entire community.

CHICAGO, April 20.—Fifteen per
last quarter of the calendar year
1900, were paid in Chicago.
The great inflow of money Into
the strong boxes of Chicago mer
chants and manufacturers has In
creased to nlmost a steady stream of
gold, according to the report made
by Merritt O. Chance, auditor for the
postofflc department to Postmaster
General Hitchcocic and Secretary
Mac Veagh in Washington yesterdav. |

ROCHESTER, April 20.—In the
first* flush of victory the friends of
James S. Havens, Democrat, who was
elected to congress yesterday by a
large plurality in one of the strong
est Republican districts in the coun
I try, are allready talking of Havens
for governor this fall. However, the
successful candidate himself makes
the assertion tnat the victory was not
wholly a partisan one.
•‘It Is a victory over things for
which Cannon lias stood and for the
ideals which Governor Hughes typi
fies,” said he.
More than 16,000 voters of Monroe
county changed from the Republican
to the Democratic column In electing
the first Democratic congressman
that has represented the thirty-sec
ond district in twenty-one years. The
defeated Aldridge, for a score of
years the ruler of the county Repub
lican organization, lost by 5,900
votes. The 32nd district is nominal
ly Republican by 6,000.
James Beck Perkins, whose death
in the middle of his third term ne
cessitated the special election, car
rle4 the district in 1908 by 10,167
, votes.
i Mr. Havens had arrayed against
I him one of the strongest political or
gaiizations in the state. Yet In a
! ca“* iaign lasting but 17 days and
wi:h a hastily constructed machine,
' h# accomplished otffv 'df**he most re
markable overturns In political his
■ ttry. The result of the election
tikes Its place beside the Democrat
W victory in the Fourteenth Massa
chusetts district; where Eugene N.
Poss was sent to congress from a dis
trict supposed to be as rock-ribbed
tepublcan as this.
Mr. Havens rode to victory on a
•tatform advocating tariff reform in
the interests of the consumer, a re
vision of the duties on wool and
woolen goods; a removal of the tax
on hides and lumber, a removal of
the tariff on iron ore, an income tax
and finally, advocating independence
of political bosses.
Mr. Aldridge, his opponent, con
tented himself with general procla
mations in favor of the policies of the
Republican administration. On the
tariff proposition he was regarded as
a “stand-patter.” Both candidates
declared for reciprocity with Canada,
at employes' compensation act, a
pircels post and a postal savings
btnk.
The Democrats acknowledged one
of the main factors in the vic
tory was a personal Issue raised by
Aldridge's record as party boss and
evidence presented at the recent fire
insurance investigation. Mr. Aldridge
acknowledged he received a $ 1,000
check from Elijah Kennedy, an agent
ol the fire Insurance companies, but
denied he benefited personally by the
itmnsfer. He declared he t urned the
I money into the treasury of the Re
I piblican organization.
WASHINGTON. April 20.—Not
slice the political campaign began
hive the Democrats been in such a
jubilant mood as they were today
over the result of the New York elec
tion.
They gathered early on the floor
and there was everywhere a spirit of
felicitation.
Republican leaders declined to at
tach any particular significance to
the result. Among the Democrats
and ‘•insurgent Republicans, how
ever, there was a great variety of
views.
Representative Francis Burton
Harrison, of New' York, declared the
Rochester election narked the over
throw of a regime ration wide In Its
extent.

PHILADELPHIA, April 18.—
When Chauncey H. Burt of Haddon
Heights, N. J., took the witness stand
today before David W. Abram, ref
eree in the bankruptcy case of John
A. Boardman & Co. whose bucket
shop went into the hands of a receiv
er a year ago, there was unfolded an
astounding story of the methods of
bucket shops in general and the no
torious Philadelphia Consolidated
Exchange in particular.
Burt told of fake sales on the floor
of the exchange, of balance sheets
made up of these fake sales with the
use of names of certain men con
nected with the bucket shops, who
were paid for such use of their
names. He told of spurious checks
employed, and of the destruction of
these checks after their purpose had
been fulfilled. He said that these
checks and not real cash were em
ployed to pay debts.
According to Burt, the Consolidat
ed Stock Exchange and Boardman &
Co. operated a close corporation, the
controlling factor in both being
George G. Turner and William H.
Lillis, both under government indict
ment. Boardman & Co. succeeded
the firm of Haight & Freese. When
Boardman & Co. failed, the new
firm of E. S. Boggs & Co. came into
being, directed by the same presiding
genius.
