1t is becoming more evident that
the relations between the defense
in the Blixt case and the prosecu-
ton in the Hayward case are close
The attorney for Blixt is in close
conference with the states attor-
ney. This and other conferences
have led to the assertion, in some
quarters that Blixt will be brought
into court Immediately after the
opening of the case and change his
plea to guilty, and he will be put
on the stand at once as the princi-
pal witness against Haywood. The
defence today presented a petition
which seems to show insanity will
be the plea made for the defendant.
The petition asks. the courts per-
mission to take dispositions OF vari.
GUS persons to show that insanity
is peculiar to his family.
