New Haven Special (Sept, 49, to Chicago
Times.
There were not so many people at the
trial of Rev. Herbert Fl. Hayden to-day. in
Madison, for the murder of Mary E. Stan
nard, but those who were there experienced
a sensation. When Judge Harrison reached
Guilford station in the morning, on the way
to the trial, he was handed telegram from
Prof w. G. White, of Yale, saying that he
had found human blood on one blade of
Hayden's knife. Prof. White, who has
had practice in the use of the mi
croscope for thirty years, and is professor
of pathology and use of the micro
scope in Yale medical school, was on the way
and he was the first witness. Counsel had
hot words about the knife, the State demand
ing that Prof. White should keep it until
further orders, and the defense asking the
Justice to order it into the courts hands, so
that they could handle it, and commit Prof
White for contempt if he did not give it up.
AS Prof White showed that he wished to
examine other parts of the knife, the justice
ruled that it should remain in his custody.
''What have you found upon the smaller
blade?" asked Judge Harrison.
"Blood," said the expert.
"Human or animal blood?" said the
Judge.
Il think it is human Blood" said the ex-
pert; and there was a stir in the audience.
Hayden's face turned pale, and then a cold
hard look took the place of his former con-
! fdence. The knife was taken from Hayden
| the day he was arrested. Prof White said
he could testify that human blood was on
| the blade with as much certainty as ever he
had been able to In any similar case. 81

he, or examined the whole OF
the small blade or any of the large blade, but
I have found human blood.' He then gave
detailed report of his experiments and the
results. He then found fibre of wood or
the blade, and a fibre not of wood. Working
with solution of sulphate of soda with
caustic potash added, and a microscope OF
three hundred diameters, he took from the
notch used to open the blade, first nineteen
and then nine corpuscles Of blood. Eli

blood on the stone is human. He explained
at length the reasons for his opinion. TIL
blood on the knife is nearer to human bloc,
than any other blood except that of th
monkey or ape. He will spend two day
more on the knife, and will examine tn
blood found under Mary's body. He ha

Hayden's knife was such one as the woun
was probably made by. A skillfr
chemist has examined parts of til
body, and proved that no rap
or other COTTON took place. During
long cross examination concerning the di
ference between the blood of animals an
men, he said he could not tell whether til
corpuscles came from man or child, {
how long they had been on the knife; br
with enough corpuscles to get a good ave-

whether it was the blood of man or an an

tablishing the history of the knife after tt
sheriff took it from Hayden, who had give
it to him when asked for it without obje
ton or agitation. An effort was made to e
