conversations with Hay about the

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Court resumed the Hay conspiracy
case with Reporter Howard l.. Tyler
on the stand. Mr. Tyler detailed in
terviews which he had had with Hay,
and told of Hays admission of con
spiracy with Brady, to rob Mr.. Ogden's
residence; and that Hay had acknowl-
edged to him that he was to have re-
ceived a part of the goods taken in
the robbery. The admission had been
made by Hay without any effort at
pumping on the part of Mr.. Tyler.
Mr.. Van Syckel in cross examina-
ton, said; ''Mr. Tyler didn't you
make it your business to visit Mr.. Hay
and interview him, publish his state
ments and comment on them?"
II visited him frequently to learn
what he had to say.n
''Well, didn't you pump" himg"
mot in the least sir"
Didn't you have a feeling in the
natter"
mo, not that know Of"
Mr.. Van Syckel called the witness
attention to some statements in the
PIONEER of January 22d last, and of
other dates, and offered the papers in
evidence.
You and Jail Warden Lore have
been carrying on little amateur de-
tective work in this case have you
not?'
''No sir"
"Well you've been trying to estab-
lish Hays completely in the matter,
haven't your"
when man tells me anything 1
know it, that's all.
Court Stenographer Irwin was sworn
and read from his notes of the former
trial, the testimony of Walter s. Hay,
which was the closing testimony of the
State now. 1t was an admission that
Brady and Hay had conversed about
the robbery of Mr.. Ogden's house; he
stated in that testimony that he did
not believe Brady's intentions were as
he stated they were-to rob the house.
Hay was now put upon the stand and
again alluded to the same testimony.
He now states that Brady told him he
was coming back to rob the house, but
he did not believe it; Brady said he
would put the stool and lath alluded
to in certain positions; he did not be
lieve that Brady would do so. Never
made any agreement with Brady about
it. Got up the night of the robbery
and milked as usual; saw nothing of
Brady nor of the stool or lath as Brady
said he would place there. Did not
know any thing of the robbery until
the next morning. He was arrested
after that. He admitted that he had
told persons that he knew that the
robbery was to have been made, at
the time of his arrest. He never ad-
mitted Or concealed his completely in
the matter at the time Enos Paullin
was concealed in the jail listening to
him and Brady. He was arrested the
Sth of December, tried last court and
had been in jail ever since. He said
the cellar door alluded to had not been
fastened for two weeks before the rob-
berry. This was the door through
which Brady swore he had effected an
entrance into the house, and which he
said Hay had left open by agreement
for his entrance. He said Brady had
told him be was going to rob the house
and that he WAS going to enter the
house by this cellar door.
Them said the Prosecutor, you
left this cellar door unfastened until
the time he was to come back?"
Yes sir.n
When you had finished your work
in the cellar why did you not fasten
the cellar door?"
Because the robbery had then been
committed"
Both sides here sested.
Mr.. VanSyckel asked the court to
charge the jury that certain malicious
things must be shown before a con-
splracy can be shown, or the defendant
convicted of conspiracy. The sum-
ming up for the defense was lengthy.
Mr.. Logue, the Prosecutor, summed
up for the State; he showed that from
the defendants own testimony con-
splracy had been made by these two
persons. He, the defendant, had
plainly shown that he was talking with
person who was entering into an
agreement to commit crime. He
knew, then, that he was party to the
