COURT, r
f Kansas CrtV, -Mo, Jan.. .rThe case
of DrV R, Clarke Hyde,- the; Kansas
City physician who for more than four
years has been andet indictment on
the chance of murdermu Colonel
TThomaa Ft. Swope, will be called fcr
trial Tuesday; This will be the fourth
trial of the." famous case. Dr. Hvde
was first tried in May, 1910, convicted
and sentenced . to .imprisonment for
life.,. The; higher eourt remanded the
case for a new trial. ,rhe second trial
ended abruptly when one of the jurors
escaped 4 from the marshals .and dis
appeared, t "The third trial resulted in
a. disagreement of the jury.
Colonel Swope, widely known as a
mutiuiiuiic auu , miiaiimropist, w:ig
an n'ne'e of Pr.' Hydejs wife. The mo
1 i'V,.! I ' -III. .
tive assigaed for the alleged murder
was a desire on the part of the phvai
cian that his, wife might come into
immediate posession of some of the
Swope fortune , " ; :
Colonel Swope died Oct. 1900.
His death followed soon after he had
suffered a severe convulsion and thus
cohvtilbion, it was charged by the mem
ber of the Swope family, followed
immediately after the administration
of a capsule given hv direction of Dr.
Hyde, i It was proved at the first trial
that . the phvsician had- purchased
cyanide of potassium in five-grain
capsules. Dr. Hyde claimed that he
bought. . the tyanid , capsules to kill
roaches in, his office.
; Two days before the death of Colonel
Swope, Miss Hunton, a cousin of the
millionaire died at the Swope home
following- n stroke of apoplexy. Dr.
Hyde, had treated Huston. . Beginning
early nn the December following, an
epidemic ot tv phoid fever broke out
in the Swope. houiithold during which
ten members of the family were strick?
en-and.ne;lied.-.i . !..; J.: . JuL
. in. all, ,D.r. Hyde was indicted,
eleven counts; tun remaining indict
ments ch-irging him with trying to
murder members of the Swope family
by- introducing tvplioid ' germs and
poihons into the medicineb '.."adminis
tered by him. ' ' '
At the end of the third trial, in which
the jury .disagreed, doubt was expres?
sed whether Dr. Hvde would be tried
agaiiV Owing to the enormous expense
already inenrrtd by the prosecutioA.

Waterway la At 'Present
'With Sunken Tirh-
ber.-
Filled
A number of years ago a Northern j4.3 ri 7
concern purchased a large tracf-of land !,,
near Maysville and cleared it of timber! ? -i i !
This timber wirs placed in White Oak'''
river for the purpose of being rafted
but before this could be done, the firm'
went bankrupt and the timber was '
allowed to float around in the river un
til it sank.
Before that time there was a depth ,
of probably ten feet or more in the river ,;
and it was easily navigable. When the ,
waterlogged timber sank, this, natur
ally, obstructed the course and impeded
navigation.
Yesterday J. E. McCutcheon, one
of Maysville's prominent citizens, came '
to New Bern and is having a local at
torney draw up a petition which he
and the citizens of Maysville will
present to the government asking that
White Oak river be dredged out and
the timber which has for years laid
on its bed be removed in order to make
the river navigable from irs mouth up ,
to Maysville. n '.
Mr. Mf'V'J; ?,i is of the opinion
that'hc ...oer has not in the least
becoi..e decayed by lying in the water
for such a long time, but thinks rather
that has been precrved. This
petition will be forwarded to Wash
ington as soon .is it has been drawn up.
The opening up of White Oak river
will mean much to Maysville and sur
rounding sections and it is hoped that
the Government will take lavorahle
action in the matter.
When asked in regard to the condi
tions' in his county and immediate
section, Mr. McCutcheon told a Jour
nal reporter that the burners had a
t.iirly good year anil had made- some
money. In addition to the crops
which they grew, the- farmers also
raised an iinusndly Urge amount Ot
pork and in addition to having enough
meat for I heir ow n needs, they had
enough left over t.; sell and received
good prices for this.
