Court So Rules-Comes as
Surprise-More Highly
Damaging Testimony
KANSAS CITY, April 28.—At the
noon recess in the trial of Dr. B. C.
Hyde today, Judge Latshaw ordered
that at ail times the defendant should
foe brought into and removed from
the court room out of the presence of
the Jury, In order that the Jurymen
might not know that he was in the
custody of the authorities.
The revocation of Dr. Hyde's bond
by Judge Latshaw at the opening of
court today was a severe disappoint
ment to Mrs. Hyde. She was at the
Jail early today waiting to Bee her
husband.
Thomas H. Swope, Jr., told In
court today how he found the cap
sules which Dr. Hyde had thrown
away on the street. The contents of
these, the witness testified, were sent
to Chicago, where chemists reported
that they found traces of cyanide of
potassium.
The action of the court In revok
ing the Hyde bond was due to the
nature of the evidence presented by
the state against Dr. Hyde. Without j
notifying any one of this Intention,
Judge Latschaw summoned County
Marshal Joel M. Moyep Into the court
room after ihe Jury had been remov
ed and said:
“In view of the* testimony thus far
given In the trial, the court Is con
strained to say that it amounts to a
presumption that, under the law de
prives the defendant of the right to
go on the bond, and he is hereby re
manded to the custody of the mar
shal."
Mrs. Hyde stared at the Judge as
he spoke and when he had finished 1
she threw her arms about her hus
band's neck and sobbed hysterical
ly.
Mrs. Logan O. Swope arose from
her seat and hurried from the court
room as soon as she understood the
import of the Judge's words. Later
when she met Mrs. Hyde standing
with an attorney in the hall, sobbing,
she passed by quickly, boarded her
automobile and went home.
Scarcely had the court ceased
speaking when Attorney John Lucas,
representing Dr. Hyde, had the fol
lowing statement entered In the rec
ord :
“The defendant maintains and al
leges the remanding of him to the
county Jail pending the trial of his
case will have the effect of prejudic
ing his right before the Jury, it being
construed ns a declaration on the
part of the court against his Interest,
and leading the Jury to believe he is
guilty of the offense charged, and
asks the court to rescind the order
upon that ground,”
"The defendant will not be locked
nip with the Jury, nor in the same
place with them and the knowledge
cannot come to the Jury from any
thing that the court can prevent,”
answered Judge I^atschaw.

Elkins Gives Warning of
Night Sessions on Rail
road Bill-Bailey Talks
WASHINGTON, April 28.—Con
sideration of the administration rail
way bill was haued In the senate
late this afternoon by the absence of
a quorum. Senator Elkins thereupon
gave notice that unless there is bet
ter progress In the consideration of •
the measure he will not be able long
er to resist the demand for night ses
sions.
The entire debate pertained to
amendments permitting traffic agree
ments by railroads subject to the ap
proval of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Senator Bailey said the senate
spent days and even weeks in con
sideration of the question of amend
ing the railway law and that the only
concern exhibited by the senators on
the Republean side was as to how
they should comply with a platform
pledge adopted by the last Repub
lican national convention.
“We could make any sort of fool
jish declaration in our national plat
' forms and you on that side would fol
low it,” declared Senator Bailey.
“That’s the trouble with American
politics. If one party takes up a fool
ish Issue, the other party will do
likewise. The chief difficulty among
senators on the other side is one of
nice distinctions as to how they shall
comply with party platforms. If that
is to be the rule here, tnere will be
no need for senators of wisdom, abil
ity and learning. All that will be
needed to equip a senator for his
duties will be ability to read a party
! platfrom. It will mean that able men
In the nation will go to the national
conventions Instead of to congress.
“I can’t make a distinction be
! tween good and bad trusts,” contin
| ued the Texas senator. "I want to
give warning now that when we at
tempt to locate the boundaries of the
various kinds of trusts we are trav
eling upon dangerous ground. I do
not believe that the railroads should
be permitted to make any agree
ments. When once the anti-trust
law is suspended for the railroads,
how can you deny the same privilege
I to other'equally meritorious inter
ests? Why not suspend it for the
benefit of the manufacturer, the
farmer and the laborer? The sus
pension of the anti-trust law In one
instance means that It will be emas
culated.”
Senator Crawford, in the course of
his speech, got very much excited
over the character of Theodore
Roosevelt, whom he eulogized in the
highest terms.
