typhoid germs.

Dr. Hyde was placed on trial in
April. The most important witnesses
against him were Mini Roller. the
nurse. and Dr. Hugo Brecklein. s.

Colonel Soon a capsule under
Hyde's direction. The druggist told

One of the outstanding features
of the trials of the physician was
the loyalty of Mrs. Hyde to her
husband despite the (act that all
the members of her family were ur-
rayed against him. In 1920. how-
ever. after all criminal notion
against Hyde hsd been dismissed.
Mrs. Hyde sued for divorce. chnrg-
