A Poor Showing,

Minneapolis, Feb. 23.-County Attor-
ney Nyc resumed his cross-examina-
iion OF w. w. Hayward, father of the
young man accused of the murder of
Catherine Cling. He was quite unable
to shake the old gcntlcman's story in
any essential particular, although he
demonstrated that the witness mem.
DRY as to dates and happenings nt
about the time of the occurrence hn
described was not the best. 1t is :,

had told Stewart three days before the
murder. Hayward senior was unable

after the murder.

Minneapolis, Feb. %. - Horace l..
Wells, paying teller of the City bank,
and Louise Ireland were the witnesses
in the opening of the Hayward case.
Wells testified to having paid Harry
Hayward between $4,000 and $1,000
after Sept. /. 1894, thus accounting
for the defendants possession of
money that did not come from Miss
Cling.
Mrs. T.. L. Hayward, the mother Of
the defendant, was then sworn. The
first part of her testimony was in
tended to help establish Harry's alibi.
Mrs. Hayward said that Harry came
into her room at 7:2O. and said he was
going to make call. At about 7:40
he came in again, hurriedly brushed
his hair and went out, saying that he
was going to the opera. The twenty
minutes between these two times is
the vital period, for it was at that
time, according to Blixt's testimony,
that Harry put him in the buggy with
Miss Cling. with instructions to
Drive Away and XII Her.
Mrs. Hayward was next asked about
the existence of insanity in her family,
but the state at once objected as tho
question of insanity had not been
raised. The objection was sustained
by the court.
Mr.. Erwin asked a long series of
questions bearing on Adry's actions,
his jealousy. his Gnreasoning fears
during youth, the medical treatment
he had been given, ETC., but they were
all ruled out
Mrs. Hayward could not answer a
direct question as to the differences
between Adry and Harry affirmatively
or negatively.
w. w. Hayward, the father of the
two boys, was the next witness. He
spoke in clear, full tone of voice, and
said he had resided in Minnesota since
1867. His business office was in the
Oneida block. A portion of the time
Adry Hayward assisted him in collect
ing and keeping his accounts.
Witness stated that he was in his
Office the morning of Nov. 80 all the
forenoon. Harry was there a while
for half hour. perhaps. Adry was
there for short time. They were not
there alone that morning. This is the
time that Adry states that Harry and
he had the exciting interview in ref
efeHCe W Tie proposed Killing OF 4
woman, and Adry told Harry he
would hang for it if he did. The wit
ness corroboratcd his wife in thai
portion Of her testimony where she
said Adry was violent on Oct. Z, and
called his mother names which re-
fected upon her character. In telling
of the occurrence he broke down and
sobbed, and the proceedings were de-
layed some time waiting for him TO
compose himself. Half the women in
the audience cried from sympathy.
On cross-examination the states at
torney showed that he was not good
at remembering dates on any other oc-
casions except the ones specified-the
day after Thanksgiving and Dec. 8.
He then testified that he had kent
a large number of 81 bills in an iron
box in his safe for about two wears.
and upon looking there the other day
found that they were all gone but one.
Both boys. he said, knew the co,nbi-
nation to the safe. He said that Adry
said he would hold up street cars and
said he would fix Harry.
