ADRY REPEATS HIS STATEMENT.
Futile Efforts of the Prisoners Attorney
TO Break Adry's story OF His Knowledge

Adry Is Insane
M1NNEAPoLs, Feb. 1s.-Tn the Cling
murder trial yesterday Adry Hayward !
was tue main witness. Mr.. Irwin Harry
Haywards counsel, interposed an obiec- ,
ton, saying that Adry was insane. The
court replied that he did not see that the
witness was "any more insane than some
of the LAWYERS in this case" and Irwin
took an exception to the ruling. Adry re-
peated the story of his knowledge of Har-
ry's guilty secret substantially as already
published.
The most dramatic and affecting scene
occurred at THO noon &c iournmont. Hardly
had the crowd began to push toward the
doors than Adry pushed his way to his
mothers side. Mrs. Hayward turned, and
then the tears sprung TO her eyes as she
leaned forward into Adrys arms. Ten
derly the son kissed his mother, who
sobbed out: "Adry Adry, how could your
How could you do itY" referring to the
testimony he had just placed on record
against his brothers life
Adry was visibly affected, and placing
his hand to his eyes, his o. :. arm encircling
his mothers form, repRGA"1 had to,
mother; it was my duty"
Then placing his hand caressingly upon
her shoulder he endeavored to comfort
her Harry, who had stood by during this
affecting scene, stepped forward and
pushed Adry's hand from his mothers
shoulder, exclaiming: Don't, Adry. Can't
| you see you are exciting herY
Adry fell back, and Mrs Hayward stood
sobbing for u time in Harry's arms Then
| her sister advanced and led her from the
/ room.
| At the afternoon session the court room
rwas crowded to suffooation. and the ex-
eitement reached its height when Mr. Err
win asked Adry to explain how his brother
had acted when he told him he would
hang if he persisted in following out the
scheme.
Adry explained how his brother had
turned black in the face with passion; how
he had bent toward him and passed his
fingers around his neck and over his head.
In order TO explain it more fully and make
the witness appear the more ridiculous be-
fore the experts Mr.. Erwin asked him to
illustrate the action. The witness stepped
| easily from his chair to the table at which
Mr.. Erwin and the prisoner sat. He went
over the story and explained his brother s
actions. AS he bent over his face was only
q few feet from that of his brother, and
facing him Every eye in the room was
bent upon the scene. Every form was half
raised from it's seat. There was rustic of
excitement about Harry. Look him in
the eye, Harry; look him in the eyep'
cried his mother.
Harry did not move. His mother shook
him and he reused himself, and leaning
far over the table toward his brother, his
head on his hands, tried to catch his
brothers eye Adry was talking SO rap
idly and excitedly that he did not see him.
and Harry could not catch his glance. He
slid back in his chair and looked at his
mother, as if to say that he was not equal
to it. If that eye could have controlled
the elder brother in the past it had grown
powerless.
The day was filed with exciting Incl
dents Once, when Mr., Erwin asked il
he had any affection for his brother he re
piled that he had. Then he asked, know
ing Mr.. Erwin's intention, if Mr.. Erwin
would have gone and told anybody if he
I had been in his position. Mr.. Erwin was
I trihe excited, and asked the court If hi
might answer, and to his surprise the
court answered that he might. Then fol
a moment all his pent up feelings burs
p forth in a short, scathing sentence, il
which he gave Adry to understand that i
he thought his brother was crazy or in
n tending guilt, he would have movet
J heaven and earth to prevent it. 1t was 1
startling scene for a moment.
The cross-examination of Adry was viru
lent and exhaustive. At times Adry grew
vexed and flung retorts at the attorney
!. at no time however, showing himself lack
ing mentally. He did show some animu
against Harry, however, at various times
but in all the long examination hO did no
contradict his original story.
d Extraordinary precautions are bein
p taken with the Hayward jury. 1t is in th
B. hands of three deputy sheriffs, who are a
ways with the jury, Whenever the jur
moves from one place to another threat
ening crowd gathers, and cries OF Han
himl" "Hang himp' are on all sides l
view Of these facts an extra guard ha
been added.
