sdy Tells HIS Story.
MINNEAPoIIs, Mimi, Feb. 3D.
County Attorney Nye began the cross
examination Of Hayward, but vas
unable to shake his story in any es-
sential particular, although he dem
onstrated that the witness memory
as to dates and happenings about the
time of the occurrences he described
was not of the best. He said that he
was born in Maconpin county. Illi-
nois, twenty-nine years ago, and had
lived in Minneapolis for twenty five
years. He declared; that the testi-
mony OF both Bliatland Adry Hay
ward was false. The court refused
to let him testify as to the probable
reasons why Adry should have sworn
falsely against him and several sharp
legal clashes occurred.
Il was introduced to Miss Cling l
think in January, 1894, by Mr..
Speaker, at the boarding house. I
met her at first perhaps as often as
once a week. After awhile met her
as often as twice a week. Then you
might say we began to be getting
fairly well acquainted. Things went
on in that way during April. We
kept getting; Better and better ac-

intimate. From July and August on
through December We We're what you
might call lovers, I suppose"

well. I've been every place with
her. We've been just like any other
young man and young lady. I've
taken her driving. We've gone to the
theater, to suppers and I've taken her
to church. I've been calling on her
and we have walked together on the
streets and everywhere. l guess we've
been every place together. I've taken
her riding dozens of times and to the
theater. 1t would be impossible to
mention all the places we have been.
I've gambled and gambled a pile. I've
gambled high and lots of it. I
acknowledge I tried to keep it from
the public, but l did not try to dis
guise it from any young lady or young
man who knew me intimately. Every
body who knew me we'll knew of it
and every young lady who knew me
we'll knew it too. It was no surprise

about seven years Questions as
to the game of faro followed, and
then he declared chat he had always
aimed to have considerable money
while playing so as to have "a better
show to win after losing for a time.

and one evening she and another wo-
man went with him to a gambling
den and played. Then she gave
money to him at various times. He
described the various winnings and
losings he had made for her. While
