D. Wilson, the livery man. He de-
clared that Wilson had told him that
Harry Hayward could not be touched,
as the man he had seen in the buggy
with Miss Cling was not Harry at all.
Wards impression was that Wilson
had said Adry was the man., but his
impressions were ruled out.
Paul Born, a messenger who carried
a note to Miss Cling the morning of
the day Of the murder, described the
man who sent it. The description did
not fit Harry. She had torn the note
up after reading it.

MED the story of Maggie Wachter, his
stenographer, pointblank. and declared |
that Blixt had not made the state
ments with reference to Adry's COM
plicity attributed to him by Miss
Wachter.
Edward Eidam was an important
witness to corroborate the story of |
Blixt and show that the shots heard
by people at Lake Calhoun were not |
those fired by the murderer.
