—Judge Ihmks Evidence
Circumstantial,
Bail Set at $5,000—Was in
Jail Almost One Year—Date
For New Trial to Be Set in
Criminal Court Sometime To
morrow,
By Associated Press.
Kansas City, Mo., April 26.—Dr. B.
C. Hyde, under a life sentence of im-
prisq^iment for the murder of Col.
Thomas H. Swope, was released from
the county jail today on" a writ of
habeas corpus.'
Kansas City, April 26,—The Hyde
case recently was reversed and re
manded for a new trial by the supreme
court.
In the opinion of the circuit court
judges the majority of the evidence on
which the physician was convicted
was circumstantial and there was a
reasonable ‘doubt of his guilt. The
opinion rendered this morning also
takes into consideration the fact that
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw', trial judge,
had once admitted. Dr. Hyde to bond.
This bond was revoked during the
trial of the murder case by Jud^e Lat-
shaw and Hyde was committed to the
county jail.
After the reading of the decision the
bail of Dr. Hyde was set at $5,000.
Had Dr. Hyde’s release been^ defer
red until tomorrow the period of his
incarceration in jail would have been
exactly one year, as it was April 27,
1910, during his trial-that Judge Lat-
shaw revoked the physician’s bond of
$5,000 ani reihanded him to the custo
dy of the county marshal.
Next Monday Dr. Hyde will appear
in’the criminal court here and the date
for his second , trial will hte set.

\
By Associated Press..
Washington, April 26.—The split in
the republican ranks which threatens
republican supremacy in the senate
assumed grave proportions' today
w;hen the regular republicans flatly re
fused to^meet three demands from the
progressives. These demands were
that Senator LaFollette be given a
place oh the cbmtaittee on interstate
commerce; Bristow on foreign' rela
tions and Cummins on finance. CoUpj
led wifh these demands was the one;
that Mr. Bourne be appointed to the
appropriations committee, w'hich was
granted. ...
The meeting of the republican com
mittee on committees was acrimoni
ous. When it was discovered by Mr.
LaFallette, that only one of the four
final progressive claims had been ai-
low'ed, he immediately announced his
complete disapproval of the tentative
list. -. ., .,
“I reserve the right to object fur
ther,’- he said; “because’ w’e consider
we'have been treated unfairly and un
justly,”
• On a vote to adopt the regulars’ Ijst,
the committee divided'7 to 4, the four
progressives voting solidly.'
The caucus which will meet at 3
o’clock'probably will support the reg
ulars in their selections and the fight
then will be" Carried into the open.
^ Washington,, April ^26.»-Senators of
every' political shade were active to^
day preparing for a, struggle which
may take place on the senate floor to
morrow. Republican factions are at
oddb over the demands made by the
insurgents and-Injected-by the major
ity of the' committee on committees;
and the democrats likewise are dis
satisfied with the assignments said to
have l>een given them by the minority
steering, committee. ‘ '
The repuWicah slate wil be present
ed at a caucus called for 3 o’clock this
afternoon which promises to be a
stormy affair, while the democratic
lists will be considered at a,^arty. cau
cus called for 10:30 tomorroW morn
ing. The regular republicans insisted
before the caucus that they had taken
good care of the insurgents and that
there was no chance for the overturn
ing of the program so as to place Sen
ator LaFollette on interstate com
merce. Cummins on finance and Bris
tow on foreign relations which were

Known Criminologist And
Inaugurated *Many Reforms
in Prisons He Managed.
By Associated Press.
Albany, N. Y., April 26.—Cornelius
V.'-Collins, of Troy, state superinten
dent of prisons for tliirteen years,
has resigned.
Supt. Collins liad supervision over
tlie fuu r state prisons, including
Sing Sing, Aubarn, Clinton, and
Great Meadows, and of the Matteawau
and Danemora state liospitals for
the criminal insane. He also was a
member of the state parole board
and was chairman of the commission
on new prisons appointed by Gover
nor Huglies to select the site for the
new prison to take the place .of
Sing Sing.
Soon after Governor Dix assumed
office in January, he requested Su
perintendent Collins to resign, but
the superintendent refused. Tiie gov
ernor’s next move was to order an
investigation of the state commission
in lunacy, tlie state prisons and refor
matories and the excise and highway
departments. The prison department
Avas the firist to be investigated.
As a result of the investigations
at Sing Sing and Clinton prisons al
leged irregularities in the purchase
of supplies were developed, but no
charges were i»referred agaiiist Su-
printeudent Collins.
In his letter to the governor the
suiJerintendeht gave no reason for
his resignation, but it is understood
a business opportunity was presented,
which, if accepted, made it impera
tive for him to sever his connections
with the department at once. He was
not in Albany today.
As a criminologist sliperintendent
Collins was well known, not only in
the United States but abroad. During
his long service at the head of New
York's prison department he inaugu
rated many reforms. He abolished
the U)ck step, striped clothing and
tlie clipping of convict’s hair.

Indianai)olis, Ind., April 26.—Inves
tigation by the Marion county grand
jury of the two sided “dynamite con-
si>iracy,” absorl)ed the attention of its
Itrobers, official and unofficial, today.
County pro.secutor Haker announced
that the grand jury's inquiry would go
thoroughly into tlie double aspect of
the case, as follows:
Has lndi:uia)X)lis been the seat of a
conspiracy by dynamiters, who in two
years have cause more than 100 ex-
lilosions directed against employers of
the symptlmers with non-union work
men, have brought about millions of
dollars of loss to bridges and build
ings. and in the case of the Los An
geles Times building explosion, the
deaths of 21 i)ersons?
Has there been a conspiracy by ene
mies of the international association of
bridge and striictural iron workers to
attempt, by “planting” dynamite in
its office building, to convict it and
its secretary, J. .]. McXaniara of dyna
mite outrages, and was Mc..aniara
kidnapped from this city last Satur-
da.v, with the possive comment of the
police and police judge Collins?
William J. Hums, whose bureaui of
detectives is enii)loyed by the Na
tional Association of Structural Iron
and Steel Contractors and who was
arrested last night on the charge of
complicity in the alleged McNamara
kidnapping, was the first witness be
fore the grand jury today. It is under
stood he took advantage of his right
to decline to testify. 'Waller l>i-ew
and J. A. G. Hadorf, of counstel for th^
National Erectors’ Association, and W.
.loseph Ford, assistant district attor
ney of Los Angeles, all of who are
charged with the kidnapping and
bound to the grand jury inquiry in
bonds of $10,000 are, it is expected, to
be examined either late today or to
morrow. Police Judge Collins and oth
er officials having knowledge of the
circumstances of the extradition of
McNamara to California are also to
appear, it is reported.
As Burns stepped into the corridor
after his appearance before the grand
jury, a man in the crowd of curious,
shouted:
“You’re a damned crook.”
“I’m good enought to ’get’ such men
as you,” retorted Burns, and passed out
of the court house with his attorneys.
Hearing that subpoena had been is
sued for him, Frank M. Ryan, presi
dent of the Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, appeared in
the grand jury’s ante-room and of
fered to testify. He was told he would
be called later.
Prisoners Reach California.
Los Angeles, Cal., April 26.—Heavily
manacled and guarded by eight offl-
(;ers, John J. McNamara, his brother,
James B. McNamara, and Ortle E. Mc-
Menigal, alleged dynamiters, entered
Calil’ornia on the Santa Fe railroad at
Needles today and are expected to be
i|i Jail at Los Angeles by the middle
of the afternoon.
When the pris'oners crossed the state
line from Arizona to California, the
officers having them in charge felt for
the fir&t time since leaving Chicago
that they were free from the danger of
habeas corpus proceedings.
In this city ^here was no sign of ex
citement or hostile feeling toward the
prisoners.
All preparations of precaution are
being observed by the local police offi
cers, however, for the safe entrance
of the prisoners into town and their
incarceration.
