WHAT HE SAID AND SAW

Bad and Had Murder In
His Heart.

but there was no sign of recognition
other than smile OF commisera-
ton on the face of Harry. The
direct examination of ex-Mayor Eustis
was resumed at the opening of the court,
with the story of his interview in the
Oneida bank with Harry Hayward about
the loans he had made to Miss Cling. Err
win interposed an objection that the in
formation had been obtained under du-
ress, but was overruled, and tho mayor
repeated the now familiar story.
Adrian Hayward was then on the stand.
He testified that Harry had told him that,
last summer and fall, he was engaged in
loaning money OIL diamonds. Harry had
also told him that he gambled some. He
told him of having loaned money for Miss
GIng, and of having gambled with her
money. At this point. Erwin arose and
impressively said: Il wish to enter an
objection here. This with ess has delu-
sion on this subject, and is in fact in
sane"
Il don't see" said the court, that he's
any more insane than some of tho at
torneys in this case"
II take an exception to the courts
ruling" retorted Erwin, land to the
courts remark before this jury" With
alton proceeded.
"He told me- continued Adry, "that she
had some notes secured by mortgage on
flour mill at Hamlne, and he asked me
To go out with him to Hamline and see
about it, We drove out and / advised
him against the loan. Ho made

in and said he had been very
lucky, as the mill had burned and he
would probably get the money to handle.
About the middle of September ho asked
me if | wanted to mako good money. l
said yes and he said | could get about
| s., 600 if l was not too particular. he
asked me if / was willing to kill a woman

any one. lie said il was easy to do it and
nobody would be suspicious of me. Alter

would do anything for him. He

necessary, the hackmap could be killed.
too. / asked him II the hackman had a
| family and he said he had. ] then said il
would be an awful thing to kill a woman,
let alone a hackman. After that he sug-
| cested getting her drowned in n lake, but
that looked too much like suicide and he
gave il up. Then he wondered how she
would fall if he took her riding in buggy
and they should strike boulder-whether
she would fail in or out. After that he
talked about getting her tangled up in tho
| lines and having the horses run away"
| Adry then told how, on the morning OF
Nov. 6, Harry had come to his fat. "He
took out n package of money" continued
Adry, "and asked mo if my vault was

| l went with him to breakfast and he told
me to say nothing of the money. as he
was supposed to be busted. He also
showed me a pawn ticket and three dia
mond rings. Then he said he was through
with me and that had no nerve. He had
found man, however, who had
nerve, an ex-polceman named BliXt.
Then he showed me bills again. One
of them looked like a Sl0) bill. All tho
rest looked like 81 bills. Late in the day
he told Albert Johnson, in our office, that
he was going into the millinery and dress
| making business with a lutte woman whS
was smart and knew all about II. John
son advised him not to do SO, as, sooner oi
later, the woman would do him up"
Turning to the question of life insur
ance, the witness said: HE said tht

Life and had passed the examination al

the papers and they had to be sent back
