MADISON, Conn, Sept. 9.--Thc Rev Mr.
IIaydcns preliminary examination upon the
charge OF having murdered Mary. T.. Stannard
was begun to-day. but rather suddenly inter-
rup,cd and adjourned until Thursday. Tho
Rev. Mr. HAYDEN arose early. and after uniting
fcrvcntly in family prayers at tho house OF his
keeper. Cnpt. Miner. he waited patiently for tho
Sheriff to como and take him to the Town Hail.
Meanwhile curious throng had assembled in
front of Capt. Miners house. To these
Mr. Hayden bowed pleasantly as he stepped
lightly from the house to the buggy. His man
ncr was wholly unconccrned and no cvcn
laughed and chatted with the Sheriff ns he was
driven along Mndison's much shaded main
street. A clcrcal-ookng gentleman shook
hands with him rather ostentaiiously at the
Town Hall entrance. and. linking arms with
him. walked down the main aisle Of the largo
and dcnscly packed room. which is in the base
mcnt Of the Congregational Church.
Mr. lIayden'S face. Mt first sight IA not un-
prcpossessing. 1t is thin and hat'hcilikc be-
low tho eyebrows but above bulges almost

hair grows so low on the forehead M to
eyes are So deeply smkrn that the color
is not easy to make out anl thcv

heavy thot. when he laughs heartily. which he
often did to-day. the expression ia a very oily
one. Whether the doop rod complexion is
natural or comes from exposure is doubtful.
His education and clerical associations have
lcn the usual inlcscrihahle marks in express
sion and manner. \ pointed roatcc gave him
opportunity To- use his hands IN stocking il
