C, February 12. v Delegate Wickersham of Alaska has replied to a letter from Secrotary of War Dickinson, repeating and elaborat ing on the charges agajnst Major W. P. Richardson, U. S.

HYDE Tale Told of Deadly Drug Found in Stomach of Miss Margaret Swope DRAMATIC INCIDENT WHEN NURSES QUIT Paxton Openly Accuses Dr. Hyde of Being the Mur derer of Colonel Swope KANSAS CITY, February 12. That poison had been found in tho contents of tho stomach of Miss Margaret H. Swope, and that Chrisman Swope went into convulsions, according to Mis' Anno Houlihan, his nurse, a few min-. utes after she had given him a capsule at the direction of Dr. B. C. Hyde, were two startling statements made un der oath by John G. PaxtOn, executor of the Swope estate today. These new and important features in tho Swope mystery were revealed by Mr. Paxton only after he had been threatened with committment if he re fused to answer the questions xiskcd him by Frank P. Walsh, Dr. Hyde's attorney. Mr. Paxton was giving his deposition in a slander suit for $100,000 brought against him" by Dr. Hyde. Miss Swope is n niece of tho Jate Colonel Thomas H. Swope. December 1 she was stricken with typhoid fever. Dr. Ifyde cared for her. "Poison was found in marked quan tities in the contents of Miss Swope 's stomach by Dr. Victor Vaughn," said Mr. Paxton. , Attorney Walsh eagerly demanded of tho witness: "Did anyone tell you of any medicine that Dr. Hyde gave to Chrisman Swope?" "T do not remember the exact words," answered Mr. Paxton, "but Miss Houlihan told me Dr. Hyde had given her a capsulo to give to Chris man Swope. She gave the capsule and a few minutes later he went into con vulsions. ' ' The story of the stormy sceno in Hio Swope homestead on December IS. when the nurses threatened to leave if Dr. Hyde was not dismissed and aonth-. cr physician obtained to care for the ill members of the family, was told by Mr. Paxton. He told of the value of the suspicions of the nurses, which eventually led up to an open break be tween them and Mrs. Logan O. Swope. It appeared that Miss Houlihan was the leader of the insurrection. Just be fore leaving she turned to Mrs. Swope; according to Mr. Paxton, and said: "People are being murdered in this house. ' ' Tho departure of Dr. Hyde and his wife from the home followed amid a tearful scene. Accusations were mado regarding the physician. His wife, in the house of her mother, stood firmly by him as she was turned away from her parental doors. "Who did you mean when you said in that letter that the murderer of Colonel Swope should be brought to justice?" was asked. "I meant Dr. Hyde," said Mr. Pax ton. of a 5,000 aero coal land subsidy from a resolution passed by tho American mining congress. He says tho Richard son bill had the effect of making tho government say: "The coal subsidy, guaranty on construction and on exemp tion of taxation, and all other aids to railroad building in Alaska aro ex hausted," after two roads built for pri vat einterests to reach tho coal and cop per mines had been constructed. "I again assert, upon evidence," says Mr. Wickersham, "that in the matter of railway commission and leg islative council bills, Major Richardson engaged in lobbying in the most offen sive and dangerous ways In tho singlo interest of tho Alaska Central and Cop per River & Northwestern railroads, and their promoters and owners." switchmen Strike probably averted CHICAGO, February 12.
