Which Was Furnished
Kansas City, April 26.—Dr. B. C.
Hyde, under a life sentence of im
prisonment for the murder of Col.
Thos. H. Swope, was released from
' the county jail today on a write of ha
■beas corpus.
The Hyde case recently was re
versed and remanded 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 convict
ed, 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This bond was revoked during the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’Judge 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
It rn-ceration in jail would have been
exactly one year, as it was April 27.

sltaw revoked the physician's bond of
$50,000, and remanded him to the cus
tody of the county marshal’.
Next Monday Dr. Hyde will appear
in the criminal court here, and th?
date for his second trial will be set.

ARMISTICE TO
. BE MINDED
Will Maintain Truce After
Friday
Mexican Rebels and Federals Have
Agreed to Extend Truce—Madero
Waiting on Diaz Government Before
Announcing Peace Emissary.
El Paso, Tex., (April 26.—8 y mutual
agreement it has been decided that
the armistice between General Made
ro’s insurrectos and the federal army
in Mexico will be extended after the
date of its expiration, Friday noon, ;t
was announced today.
General Madero is expecting notice
within a few hours from Mexico City
mat commissioners had been appointed
by the government to treat with his
envoys.
The insurrecto commander-in-chief
announced that he would not name his
representatives until the Mexican gov
ernment had taken this step. Dr. Vas
quez Gomez and Francisco I. Madero,
Sr., will head the rebel peace repre
sentatives, according to the pres
ent plans.
Oscar Braniff and Esquivel Obregan,
two wealthy Mexicans and friends of 1
President Diaz who in an unofficial ca
pacity tried to bring about peace, may
he named by the government as two
of its comissioners.
The Diaz comissioners will not
have an important function to per
form, according to reports from Mex
ico City. These state that President
Diaz will practically concede all the
d mands of Madero, and the only duty
of the peace envoys will be to bear
the guarantees and .written assurances
of the government’s intention into the
rebel camp.
To far as indicated thus far, the on
ly two propositions which may act as
snags in carrying out the negotiations
are the demands of Madero that his
men be allowed to retain their arms
and that the revolutionary provisional
governments in the northern states of
Mexico be recognized until elections
c. n be held to name their successors.
