FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE
The State Springs a Surprise In the
Cling Case


Cling Case
Minneapolis, Feb. 18. 8.--The state sprsng
surprise in the Hayward murder trial
today when it withdrew all opposition to
the introduction of Maggie Wachter's test
imony. Miss Wachter is the stenographer
of Blixt's attorney, who was to testify that
Blixt stated to his attorney in her pres
ence that it was with Adry Hayward and
not with Harry he had conspired to mur-
der Miss Cling. The court was unwilling
to admit the testimony without the di-
rect consent of Blixt, who was brought
from Jail and questioned personally by
Judge Smith. He had no objection, he
said but Miss Wachter was ill and could
not be present in court today. The sud-
den change of front on the part of the
state is said to be due to the ability to
impeach Miss Wachter's testimony abso-
lutelv. Blixt's attorney will contradict
it, and it is also understood the state has
ascertained from confdant of Miss
Wachtel the true inwardness of the evil
dence.
How does it look now, old man?'
asked Harry Hayward after court ad-
journed this afternoon, as he slapped
friend on the back and laughed heartily.
He was in good humor 1t had been a
day for the defense. After four days of
trial the defense has at last made mark
with the testimony OF Maggie Wachter,
the stenographer, the state having with
drawn its objections to her testifying.
Miss WachteT was voluble, positive and
could not be shaken by cross examination.
She called Blixt liar, O'Dell schemer

After court adjourned Mr.. Hall stated that

said that Hall had called on her and at
tackled her character in most abusive
and scandalous manner.

A BAD MAN ARRESTED.

Deputy Sheriff Bishop and Marshal
Moon went out near Kennesaw Mountain
last Tuesday and arrested Jim Lusk. a
white man, who had with him, in an old
house, little white girl about IL years
old. He had been there several days with
her, and some negroes, living near by,
said that they had repeatedly heard the
little girl screaming as if in agony. The
officers found the building without furni-
ture, some sacks Tor bedding, and nothing
to eat but little meal. The little girl
seems to be not overly bright, but she
said that her name was Iona Dempsey
her mother was dead and her father
had left her at the honselOf Mr.. Buchanan
Lusk came TO the house and deceived her
off. He told the officers that he had been
united in marriage to her, but after he
was placed in Jail he retrscted the state
mant He gave conflicting statements
about himself and the girl. She says he
tied her hands. The.skin is rubbed off
her wrists which bears out the statement
The girls father is named Jim Dempsey,
and he lives near Alatcona, but he left tn
girl at Buchanan's house until he went to
Roswell to get work. The girl is poorly
clad, and evidently has been badly treated
by Lusk, who admitted that he had a wife
and children in Alabama, with whom ..e
has not lived for ten years. He also says
that he has served sentence in the peni>
Tertiary for burgiarizing a store in Chero-
kee county. He is an ignorant fellow, of
a low order of intelligence. He will be
prosecuted for his criminal conduct.
