81 Not Guilty-iinrr, Hayward Is
Wrought lato Court and the In

Minneapolis, Dec l9.-ThiS morning
Claus \. BltNt was led up before the
district court bar by Sheriff Eye, He
sWayed as the sheriff released him and
seemed almost to fall. but recovered
himself and stood with fingers clasped
across his breast, gazing at the Judge.
L. II. odell appeared for the prisoner.
and on his behalf ertered Il plea OF not
guilty. EItNt did not appear 10 under
stand what was going on and County
Attorney Nye inquired whether he un-
der>tood the plea. "po You know that
you are pleading not guilty r Yes"
answered the prisoner in whisper.
Il understand" Blixt was then led
back to his seat. The trial was set
for Jan Z
Later in the day Harry r Hayward
was taken before Judge Hicks to hear
tac reading of the indictment He
listened attentively while the indict-
ment was read. The prisoner made
no plea. reserEing this Tor future
time
Hayward was brought into court by
Sheriff Eye ana two deputies. He ap-
peared in the same clo.,les he has
worn since his incarcerat Z and there
was a decided difference between the
taShionably clad young nl1u who un-
derWent SO severe an iuuuiSition at
the hands Of Mayor EustiS and the

In court to-day. Hayward betrayed
none Of the evidences OF guilty fear
that characterized Blixt's entrance
through the same door earlier in the
day, He walked with his head up, and
appeared 10 resent the sheriff'S hold
upon his arm. The effect OF his con-
ttnemeut showed in the mans face,
though. He was pale and slightly ha--
gard, but there was the same super
cilious air about him that has been
noticeable from the first.
Great care had been taken that the
time Of Hayward's arraignment should
not be- known and there was but J.
small crowd in the court room The

remained close To him during the time
he was in court. and he smiled when
spoken TO by one Of them. His entire
bearing was that of an innocent man.
and he is without question the most
ConSummate actor ever called on to
face a criminal Indictment.
After the proceedings had been COM
pleted, Hayward was taken out
through the side door by Sheriff EGe.

and there We're one or two remarks
as he was marched through 1t to the
