IN THE AFTERNOON.
BIixt Had 81 Headache and Was
Excused.

BliXt Had 81 Headache ana NAs
Excused.
When Blixt took his seat after re-
cess the usual afternoon crowd of Curl
Gus women were in attendance jost-
ling each other about and getting
themselves bestowed with many
fiirt and fiutter." Just what satlsfac-
ton two-thirds of them get out of the
proceedings is not apparent, for 1t is
impossible to hear the testimony
half dozen rows back from the front.
They can neither hear nor see, but
they are there, and will doubtless con-
tinue to be there until the trial closes
When order was secured, Mr.. EfWh
resumed his croSS-eXam1natlon OIL
Blixt. He asked in regard to the Sl,G0t;
note, and witness testimony of Tues
day was read and acknowledged. A,
long wrangle enSued over the con-
tradiction in BliXt's statement with
his evidence Of the day before. Moth
ing was elected from this line of Qies-
tioning except that Blixt made his
usual excuse for the inconsistencies of
his testimony by asserting that when
the first statements were made he was
almost crazy and hardly knew what
he said
He was asked if in his first confession
made to Chief Smith he had said this:
II understood then that the pro-
gramme was for me to hang, and L
thought as his brother was in it, ]
saw in the paper, l thought l might as
we'll tell the truth and let them know
it."
Witness denied having said it. He
became badly confused and Mr.. Nye
told Mr.. Erwin that witness did not
understand the question. AL
Blixt denied having said anything to
W. w. Hayward, father of the HAY
ward boys, the day after he signed the
note. Witness was next taxed with
his omission to put "swear Wortls'
into his statements when detailing
Harry's conversation with him. He
explained by saying that he did not
like to swear and thought at the ii1ne
it was not necessary to utter the oaths.
Mr. Nye appealed to the court that
the examination was nothing but a
repetition of what had been gone ever
the day before and the court coiEcided
with him.
The ''T0' rail was brought to Blixt's
attention again and he was forced to
tell of it again.
At this point the witness showed
signs of distress. Mr.. Nye spoke to
him and Blixt said he had a headache.
1t was then 3:15, and it was arranged
to have Mrs. BliXt go on the stand
and take Blixt up again this morning.

ERWIN TRIES TO BROWBEAT

Claus BliXt and his wife were the
witnesses in the Hayward trial yes
terday. The murderer was cross
examined until 3:15 o'clock, and
then excused on account of a head
ache. He was more easily bothered
than on Tuesday, but the defense
could do nothing with him. he
might slip and founder, but he
would not fall down. He was per
picked and confused dozens Of times,
but in the end he managed to clear
himself of any suspicion of bearing
false witness"
Nothing new or startling was de-
veloped in the second days exam
ination of BliXt. Much of the
ground covered Tuesday was gone
over. and the defense seemed to
hinge it's designs on BliXt by parad-
ing the fact before the jury that he
had lied. BIiXt frankly admitted
that his first statement was not true
and was ever eager to explain or go
into details, and there was no indi-
cation of desire to get away from
certain things in connection with
his crime. On the contrary, he man
ifested a perfect willingness to eX-
plain any and everything that he
could. His testimony has not been
materially affected by the most
rigid crOSS-eXaminatiOn.
On a great many points Mr.. Erwin
sought to wiring some admission
from him by constantly referring to
the contradictions in his two state
ments made before the trial and his
testimony given on the stand. BliXt's
answer was always ready. He had
made the statements under great
mental excitement, when he was i'll
and half-crazy, and omitted many
details which had since occurred to
him. His statements only erred in
minor details.
Mrs. Blixt made an admirable wit
ness. She did not try to remember
more than she could, and gave hel
answers intelligently. She was not
embarrassed, and proved a very i'm
portant as we'll as satisfactory wit
ness for the state.
She told of change in her hus-
band several weeks before the muir
der. He lost his appetite, laid awake
nights and was mOrose and sullen
He scarcely spoke to her. They had
been married three years, and the
change in his manner was very
marked.
She told of countless visits to the
basement in the Ozark flats made
by Harry Hayward, and of his mid
night conversations with her hus
band, which lasted for hours at {
time. For a month before the crime
was committed Hayward was with
BliXt almost daily. They cOnverseG
in secret after she had retired, ant
she could hear their voices. Hay
ward usually came down about /
o'clock at night, and their talk!
were frequently continued until lat,
in the morning. Her husband neve,
told her the nature of these cOnver
satiOns.
1t is probable that Mrs. BliXtt
cross-eXamination will be concluded
this morning, when BliXt will b
further examined by the defense.

MISS HALLINAN'S GRIEF.

Story Circulated About Her by Miss Kate
Mulrooney, Which She Says Is Untrue.
Causes Her Engagement of Marriage to
BE Broken OFF.
Miss Nellie Hallinan, who resides at
Green Ridge, where she Is employed as
a servant, began an action against Miss
Kate Mulrooney, of Throop, yesterday,
to recover $4,000 damages. The plain
tiff alleges that through the instru-
mentality of Miss Mulrooney she is
minus a husband, and finds herself
possessed Of a very much damaged
reputation.
Miss Nellie Hallinan was loved and
courted by Dunmore young man
named Michael Begley, and matters
had progressed so far that a day was
fixed for the wedding. Then friend
told Begley that his prospective bride
was the mother of four-year-old boy,
now living at Philadelphia, and thereon
an investigation was begun. The story
was traced to Miss Mulrooney, who, 1t
is said, admitted that she made the
statement against Miss Hallinan, but
refused to retract it even when con-
fronted with Miss Hallinan's emphatic
denial Of the story of her motherhood.
In the meantime the engagement of
marriage between Miss Hallinan and
MrA Begley has been broken off, and
the former through ex-senator NJ. T..
Mcdonald has begun action to recover
$1,000 damages for the injury she has
sustained.

George b. Carter's testimonial recital
at the Elm Park church last night was
successful from the initial number to
the concluding piece of the concert.
Miss Katherine Bloodgood. an eminent
contralto Of New York, was the star
of the evening and created furore
of enthusiasm by the superb tone of her
voice, the comprehensive range and the
exquisite vibration. Miss Bloodgood sang

in reply to an encore gave a lullaby,
"Rock-a-Bye Baby" in which the
shading was perfect. Other numbers
were equally well rendered.
Mr.. Carter was also In splendid form,
his best numbers probably being Fried

of De Kovan's ballads, and was award
ed an encore. Richard Thomas gave
three selections and acquitted himself
with considerable credit. In rendering
the solo Rocked in the Cradle Of the
Deep" he retained the lower r fiat in
an admirable manner. Alfred Wooler

sympathetic manner and replied to an
encore by giving Love, Come with

JURORS WIFE SICK.
Dickinson Case Had to BE Continued for
One Week.

Dickinson Case Had to BE Continued for
One Week.
United States circuit court opened at
9 o'clock yesterday morning in No. 2
court room in the court house, and the
Dickinson case twas resumed. The
plaintiff went upon the witness stand,
and her counsel offered in evidence cer-
tain letters written by her from Dam
willie asylum during her incarceration
there. Major Warren objected to the
reading of the letters, but Judge Ache
son ruled that 1t was proper that they
should be read.
While Miss Dickinson was reading a
letter addressed to her brother, Rev.
John Dickinson, at Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, she was interrupted by Judge
Acheson. A messenger boy had just
then arrived with telegram announc-
ing the impending death of wife Of
one of the jurymen, John ], Greene. a
merchant, of McCrays, Forest county.
The court announced that Mr.. Greene
would not be restricted from going to
the bedside of his dying wife.
Counsel on both sides regretted not
to have the case go on, but as 1t is one
in which the verdict will depend more
upon the combined judgment OF jurors.
than on legal points, it was decided that
1t would be better not to go on with a
jury Of eleven. Court thereupon ex-
cused Juror Greene, but as he could not
leave for home until 1.55 p. M, it was
agreed to allow Miss Dickinson to finish
the reading of her letters. She pro-
ceeded and quite frequently was
Obliged to choke back sobs, and dry the
tears that welled up In her eyes. The
letter contained strong comments on
her Incarceration in the asylum. When
the witness had concluded court ad-
journed until next Monday morning at
10 o'clock, when the case will be re-
sumed in the United States court room
in the Federal building.

THE PAINTERS OF VENICE.
Sixth and Last Lecture on the History of
the Lagoon Republic.

tnc A-h8Oou NSpupNCs
The last of Rev. w. Hudson Shaw's
illustrated lectures on Venice was de-
voted to the painters of Venice, be-
ginning with Bellini, in whom high
moral inspiration and the devotional
spirit were united with pure forms and
an absence OF pietism, and including
Carpaccio Giorgione, Titan, Paul Ver-
onese and concluding with the 'riotous
Tintoretto. The style Of each was ex-
plained and illustrated: and each school
was contrasted with the corresponding
great painters of Florence and Flan-
ders.
This series of lectures has been we'll
attended and exceedingly instructive.
Upon the whole 1t has been one Of the
most enjoyable series yet given in
Scranton. and the projectors of 1t are
highly pleased at its success.
