Dr. B. Clarke Hyde Showi to be a Cruel
Monster of Crimnalitj.
MANY CRIMES CHARGED
Against Him by the State, in its
Terrtfic Arraignment of tho One
Respectable Physician.?He Was
Abnormally Cruel, Torturing Women
and Animals, Then Murderer.
Picturing Dr. B. C. Hyde as a man
whose evil propensities led him during
his boyhood to torture animals,
in later life to abuse the poor and
helpless, and in the fullness of professional
Buccess to conceive the most
colossal murder plot in the history
of criminality. Attorney James A.
Reed made t-he opening statement
for the State in the physician's trial
at Kansas City Monday.
Hyde Is charged with poisoning
his wife's father and members of his
family so as Mrs. Hyde would inherit
atl the wealth of her father. Tr
leading up to the motive which the
State claims caused the alleged murd?ers
to be committed, Mr. Reed ex- i
plained an overpowering greed for
money had manisfested itself in Dr.
Hyde.
With a purpose of adding to his '
wealth, said Mr. Iteed, the physician
mane love to women and then obtained
mctiry from them. The deaths
of Col. Thomas H. and Chrisman
Swope and of James Moss Hunton
were dealt with in detail.
The charges that Dr. Hyde was
responsible for the spread of typhoid
fever in the Swope house, and that
on three occasions he tried to poison
Miss Margaret Swope, composed a
considerable part of the address.
T.he story of Col. James H. Hunton's
death was made a little more
clear. According to the statement,
Dr. G. T. Twymn.n protested against
Dr. Hyde treating Hunton to such an
extent as he did. Dr. Hydo wa- in- i
1-1111
umcu 1 Ul llt's 1 l?;t*u m killing 11uu- (
ton by bleeding. 1
"The charge that brings the defendant
to this bar of justice is that
of .having with deliberation, premeditation
and cold and calculating pur- <
poso murdered one of ^Missouri's distinguished
citizens, the kinsmai> of
his wife, a benefactor to him," said
Mr. Reed in opening his address.
The proper investigation of thip 1
charge compels, the State believes. 1
delving into a series of crimes each s
of which is a part and parcel of a p
gigantic scheme of criminality, an r
investigation of a sequence of law- t
invading wrongs so far-reaching, bo b
tremendous and ruthless in its con- r
ception and partial execution, as to t
challenge the horror and astonish- \
ment of the world aud to stand with- c
out parallel in the annals of crime. s
Earlier in .his address Mr. Reed c
dwelt at some length upon the Intro- duction
of Dr. Hyde into the Swope p
family Mrs. Swope, when importuned
by the physician to give .him the g
hand of her daughter, started an t<
Investigation of the physician and g<
thus said the attorney, Hyde's char- n
act?*r was first shown to her in its g
true light.
Regarding the Inquiry, he said: (<
"Her investigation disclosed the fact f)
that he was possepsed of abnormally r;
cruel tendencies; that as a boy he w
tortured animals, a characteristic t]
whic.h manifested itself when as a ei
man and a physician he held the pos- tl
ltlon of city surgeon and in thatpos- w
ltlon he bo demeaned himself toward
the unfortunate nauner natients that n
fell to Alia charge that he wag diB- g,
charged for cruelties. a;
"The specific occaaalon for his dis- s
discharge was the injection of oil of p
mustard into the body of an unfor- w
tunnte woman who was In his charge w
as police surgeon. w
"Mrs. Swope's further efTorts si
disclosed upon his part an abnormal tA
longing for money. In the gratifi- ti
cation of his desire, though in reas- tt
onably good practice, he made love
to women and under the guise of a (f
sweetheart obtained from them large tr
sums of money, amounting to thousands
of dollars. It transpired also p(
that he had been a grave robber." tj
The deaths in the household were j,.
taken up chronologically, Mr. Heed ti
attempting to show that I)r. Hyde
had planned his conquest of the tt
wealth of the Swope heirs with cun- hi
nlng. in
The first stop, according to Mr. nl
Rood, was to do away with Hunton, tli
an executor of the Swope estate, and pj
then Ret posession himself. Therefor,
aald Reed, the physician drew n]
two quarts of blood from Hunton's i>(
body after he bad been stricken by in
apoplexy and in four minutes Hun- ta
ton was dead. ni
"Within an hour after Hunton died
he requested Miss Kellar, a nurse, cii
to intercede with Col. Swope," said ar
Reed, "to the end that he, Hyde, th
be made executor in Hunton's place. pa
Tbis was declined by iNliss Kellar." p0
Ddtails of Col. Swope's death were p0
then entered into. It was rehearsed to
how, at the order of Dr. Hyde, Miss
Kellar gave Col. Swope a capsule. t:c
Convulsions ensued. Again at Hyde's r0
orders a hypodermic injection was rt:

Ohio food consumers are at the

t ho foori nt?A>\/* ? ,-1 - 1
vUu twu piuuc vuaiiiiinee uppuinieu
by the Ohio Legislature to investigate
the cause of high prices. The
committee says:
"The responsibility for high prices
lies chiefly at the door of the packers.
who beat down the prices paid
to the farmer and put up the prices
paid by the retailers.
"Storage refrlegeratlon and speculation,
the packers, the exporter
and the pricemaker are the principal
conditions and causes responsible
for high prices."
It is declared that there are 50,000
trusts in America, including associations
of dealers and simular organizations,
and all havo contributed
to the advanced cost of living.
The report goes on to say:
"Residents of cities are capitalized
and forced to yield dividends without
regard to the law of supply and
demand. Free trade between producer
and consumer has been eliminated,
selling to consumers at
wholesale rates is forbidden by the
manufacturer or some association.
The retailer's proflt on trusAnade
goods is reduced so low that he is
forced to overcharge on other commodities
or give short weights.'
The federal tariff law is attcked
as sheltering monopolies. Increase

PUBLIC SKKVICK COMMISSION.
jovsrnof Appoints McDonald, Kiggn

The Governor Monday appointed
Mtorney J. E. McDonald, of Wlnns>oro;
Prof. William Riggs, of Clemlon;
and ex-Senator Thomas M. Ray- i
tor, of Orangeburg, to constitute the
lew public service commission under
he act of the legislature giving such
l board authority to fix the maxi- <
num gas, water and electric rates
hroughout the State. Charleston, ,
larion, Spartanburg, Union and
lonway are exempted. The commision's
decisions are reviewable in the
ircult conrt.
t
oint, Mr. Reed said: i
"The foregoing evidence might he (
aid to bo the first evidential chap
er that makes plain the plan aad ^
cheme of Dr. Hyde to accomplish as f
cquisitlon of a large pa-t of th?
wope fortune. f
Tie next testimony that will lie In- s
-oduced will be indicative of the f
ict that the next move in th* car- '

as to remove as tnanv member* ?.f
lie Swnpp family as might be l > the
bd that the fall of each would swell *
he fiortui?e that he. through his c
ife, would be able to control." a
A lengthy recital of how Dr. Hyde
btalned typhoid and dlptlieria 1
erms of Dr. E. L. Stewart and the c
ppearance of typhoid fever in the ^
wope residence followed. This ty- a
hold could not have come from the
ater used. It was said, because the t
ater came from a cistern and was P
ell filtered. It was on the occas- a
on of Dr. Hyde's taking dinner with
te Swope family on November 25
lat he Is thought to have spread
le germs. It was said. ~
The alleged attempt of Dr. Hyde
i poison Margaret Swope was theiy
iken up. Mr. Reed said: f
"One night while the girl was supused
to be almost recovered from P
'phoid, a nurse learned that Hyde ! t
(id pivpn hor n livixulni-n-ln l.. i..? I 1
on. P
"When asked why he had made h
10 Injection, Hyde replied thai he 11
id only given oil of camphor for n
i term It tent pulse. Miss Swope de- d
od the physician felt her pulse and h
ie nurse found no odor like oil of 1<
ininphor. e
"A sore has recently developed h
ion the cirl's arm and the State T
>1 loves it is due to the physician's tl
Jection of some of the germs he ol?- ii
ined from Dr. Twyman into this h
ember. | a
"A few days after th-e injection in- I e
dent, Dr. Hyde left a capsule 11
nong the medicines belonging to w
e girl. A nurse administered the ai
psule. Miss Swope was seU-d wiih tl
nvulsions. An examination of the cc
ntents of her stomach showed it
be strychnine."
A significant feature of that sec>n
of the sta'eraont which re 'erred kl
Hyde'p purchasing poison was the p|
ferente to th- store of tip* drug- c;

the mail car, Mr. Crane and his fellow
passengers played streams on the
flames In an effort to rescue the mail
clerks, but without any effect on the
fire.

the removal of several fish plateB nt
rail joints. The train ran a distance
of eight rails from the point where
first loosed fish plate was found bebefore
it jumped the track. Holts and
nuts bearing all evidence of having
been freshly unscrewed were picked

'slanderous accusations to the Fulon

Advocated Tariff Reform \VIiil<
Republican Candidate Stood Pat.
1 A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y.
says between 6.000 and 8,000 voter1
of I.Monroe County changed from tht
,, Republican to the Democratic col
umn Tuesday and elected the firs
1 Democratic Congit ssman that ha:
represented the 32d district in 2(
years. James S. HavenB, a Demo
crat, running on a tariff reform plat
form, defeated George W. Aldridge
for a score of years the ruler of th<
' county Republican organization, bj
6,900 votes.
Monroe County, which comprise!
the 32d Congressional district, is
' normally Republican by about C,'
00ft. James II. Perkins, whose deatt
' in the middle of his third Congres
sional term necessitated a special
election Tuesday, carried the district
in 1908 by 10,107 votes. Taking the
vote of the Presidential year, 19CS
for comparison, the total turnover
of the district was 8,033.
It is acknowledged, however, that
Mr. Perkin's vote in that year was
abnormal, and accepting the average
Republican plurality as a standard,
the change from the Republican
bo the Democratic columns
amounts to about 6,000.
Havens had arrayed againt him
one of the strongest political organizations
in the State. Yet in a campaign
lasting but seventeen days, and
with a hastily constructed machine
he accomplished one of the most remarkable
overturns in political history.
The result of the election takes
its place beside the Democratic victory
rn the 14th Massachusetts district,
where Eugene N. Foss was sent
to Congress from a district supposed
to be as rock ribbed Republican as
this one.
Mr. Haven's platform advocated
tariff reform in the interests of the
consumer, revision 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 as
inadmissible all political losses of
any party.
Mr. Aldridge. his opponent, contented
himself with general proclamations
in favor of the policies of
the Republican Administration. On
the tariff proposition he was regard(\H
n u n tfnni!-iiolt?r
The Democrats acknowledged that
one of the main factors in the reversal
of political sentiment was n
personal issue raised by Aldridge'e
record as a party boss and evidence
presented at the recent fire insurance
investigation. Mr. Aldrldge acknowledged
that he received a $ 1 ,000
check, but said he turned the
money into the treasury of the Republican
organization.
This so-called mroal Issue was taken
up by the citizens, and clergymen
announced themselves in Havens
favor. Mr. Aldridge'e defense
was that his record stood for itself.
The overturn in the city was from
a Republican plurality of 6.215, in
the Congressional elections of 1908,
to a plurality for Havens of 2,7 4 6.
The towns, which in 1908 went Republican
by 3,972, gave Havens a
plurality of 2,154.

ocrat who was elected to congress
Tuesday by a large plurality in on?
of the strongest Republican districts
in the state of New York, or in
fact, in the whole country, are already
talking Habens for governor
this fall. Judging from the conservative
tenor of the successful candidate's
remarks, however, he accepts
his victory as bearing little on the
political situation In the State except
as regards the Issue of "bossisni."
"This is not wholly a partisan victory,"
said Havens. "It is a victory
over the things for which Cannon
has stood and for the ideals which
Governor Hughes typifies.
The Hughes Republicans declare
that although Haven's election shows
that the people of the district aro
dissatisfied with the tarlfT policy of
f.he Republican national administration
and with the political control of
George W. Aldrldge, Havens' defeated
opponent, the result entrenches
Governor Hughes and his policy
more strongly than ever.
According to Mr. Havens, the high
cost of living was mainly responsible
for Tuesday's political revolution.
Revised returns from the towns reduce
aHvens' plurality slightly, making
the figures 5,4 4(1 for the district.
