MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Feb. 1.-THE
buggy in wisch Miss Cling took her fatal
ride and the laprobe, stained dark with
her life's blood, were on exhibition in the
courtroom when the Hayward trial
opened The curious crowd pressed for
ward to get a nearer view of the grew
some objects of the tragedy, and it was
. only with the greatest difficulty that the
deputies succeeded in protecting the pre-
circts allotted to the press ana the bar.
Emf, Ferrant, who occupies fat in the
Ozark, was the first witness. His testi-
| rnony was descriptive of the occurrences
i'll the Hits after the news OF Miss Ging's
\ violent death had been received and of
| Harry Hayward's behavior OF that time.
Purpose of the Defense.
During Ferrart's testimony there was a
\ significant colloquy between counsel.
] County Attorney Nyo said that he had
expected to put Adry Hayward, the
confessing brother, on the stand, but that
, Adry was not present as yet. Mr. Err
win said that he should object TO Adry
itestifying now, as he wanted to have in
sanity experts present when the brother
gave his testimony. This statement is
believed TO indicate not only a purpose
on the part OF the defense to claim that
Adry has hereditary insanity but also
possibly n purpose on the part of Adry
to give his testimony in such a manner as
shall lead to that conclusion. In this
way he can tell his story as he has already
told it to the state and yet give his broth
er a chance to escape the gallows.
| Ex-Mayor William II. Eustis was called
TO the stand and testified to having OBJ
tanned from Harry Hayward while the
latter was under police surveillance some
letters, kilograms and statement from
! Miss Cling TO Harry relative to some busi-
ness relations between the two. Mr.. Err
win at once asked that he might cross-ex-
anime the witness to ascertain whether
these papers were obtained under durcss
and iii spite of the states objection was
permitted to do SO by the court.
Harry Talked of the Crime.
Mr. Eustis said that with the police ofli-
cials he had subjected Hayward to an ex-
animation lasting some fourteen hours.
Then Harry was released, but the detcc-
tives kept track of his whereabouts. The
next morning after his release Harry had
come into the mayors Office voluntarily
and talked over the crime. He told of
Miss Ging's gambling propensities and
said he had some letters and kilograms
showing 10. Ine mayor urONe WITH MN

! ly handed over the documents. These
were then offered in evidence. The telc-
grams We're those passing between Harry

gambling in Chicago with her money.
The first two announced winnings
of $500 and $500 and the third
