MiNNEArorIs, Feb. 49, - Greatly in
crcaseG crowds and many police officers
appeared at tho Hayward trial Adry
Hayward was on the stand for Continued
cross-exaninatton. He was asked in rD-
gard to his conversation In the jail with
Harry relative to their pressing Blixt
rather closely.
Don't you know there was no thing in
the paper that day about Biixt;" asked
Mr.. Erwin, mo, don't, ] know he was
reading the paper; was not
"On Oct. 7, lSli, were you not out Of
your mind2" II can I saw"
Did you not curse and threaten to Kill
your father and mothorg"
well, had some trouble over money.
Harry came in, dragging father, and ho
lay down ON the lounge. There was y
shortage but I explained it. Harry was
trying to make the trouble"
Harry smiled at this point.
"Yes, you smile" said the witness, "but
you know it is 80. | accused Harry of
stealing the money from my flat-mind. |
don't saw he did it, but accused him then
and there, Mother spoke up, and told
her that il she could not trust her sons
why did she raise such litter Of pups,
Then got mad and when Harry threat
ened to rip me up with kuilc, | went to
get my revolver and said would let Harry
wound me, but If he did | would blow his
brains out My wife can swear to that,
You need not shake your head mother"
cried the witness, noticing his mother.
THAT was the first trouble | had with my
mother, and IL ii had not been for Harry /
would never have had that trouble"
During the examination the witness
said he did not blame Harry for trying to
defend himself in the suit, but ho did
blame the family by letting itself bu
brought into disgrace by helping him ont.
He hated TO testify against his brother,
but he had some rights, and did not thinS
he hnd to be dragged downon his brothers
account.
Were you not always jealous Of your
brnthcrg' "No, sir"
Did not you ever threaten your brother
with violence Once, when my brother
said he could got men for Slj to send mo
to saltwater, said | knew enough to
send him to saltwater, and father WAS
right there ANA heard it,"
Witness then testified to going to Mr.
Stewart, telling him his troubles.
Adry was questioned ut lcngth regarding
the shoes he wore on the night OF the nur-
der. These questions on the part of tho
defense indicate II possible purpose of set
ting up that it WAS Adry aud not Harry
who cnnsp,rrd to commit tho murder with
Blixt AID that the much talked Of pointed
shoe tracks at tho scene of tho murder
were matte by Adry.
The state has presented all its testimony
and expects to be completely through by

will know just which one of the lines of
defense has been decided upon The state
has fulfilled the promise made by Mr..
Hall in The opening and has proved on tho
stand all that IL outlined to the jury
1t isawondrriut as well as an awful tale.
1t reads more Improbable than any OF the
dramatic writings of the most sensational
French nnyel,ta 1t is almost past belief.
Brother against brother, indeed, has it
been for years in that family and now,
pcrchance, It is n life for life
The mother of those two sons heard the
attorney for the prisoner present the
foundation for laying thccrlmU mt the door
0r her first born, In that crowd, not too
finely strung not too tcndery constituted,
there was a ttemur of horror. A crowd
which had laughed glccfully at PROPOSE
tiun TO tear u womans head off with an
elevator was transilgured with disgust at
the proposition Of sacrificing one On the
altar Of family preference.
During the afternoon several life insur-
anrenpcnts testified to conversations which
Harry Hayward had with them in regard
TO the issuance of policies. Harry had
asked If companies paid i'll eases of muir
