Poison In Swope's Body. Colonel Thomas H. Swope, multi millionaire, and Charman Swope, his nephew, died at Kansas City, Mo., from strychnine poisoning. This informa- ilon was contained in a telegram re- celved by John G. Paxton, a private attorney for the Swope heirs. Arrests are expected. The telegram from Chicago, which announced that Dr. Walter Haines and Dr. Ludwig Kekteon had found poison in the stomachs of the two dead mem- bers of the Swope family, lends con- firmation to the theory advanced some weeks ago that a deliberate plot ex- isted to exterminate the entire Swope family. . Colonel Swope whose fortune is variously estimated at from four to six million dollars, died in convul- sions. His nephew died under similar circumstances. Shortly afterwards eight members of the Swope family were stricken with typhoid fever.

This bacilli, it is alleged, was planted in the Swope home. Dies Praying In Fire. A disastrous fire on South Market street, in Mount Carmel, Pa., result- ed in the death of Mre.

Almost all of her clothing was burned from the body. Gets Six Months For Killing Child.

The father was fined $50 and given six months. The woman went free. The crime was peculiarly atrocious, and the jurors favored a severe pen- alty for the man, but could not inflict it under instructions.
