Minneapolis, Feb. 27.-Harry Hay.
ward, the defendant In the murder
trial. resumed the stand ut the opening
OF the court. He had evidently been
cautioned by Mr.. Erwin not to be too
prolix In his evidence, and showed q
disposition to condense his testimony,
Ills narrative was resumed at the
point where he returned to the Ozark
after the theater and first heard the
news that there had been an accident.
He had difficulty in persuading Coos
man. the livery man, who was tele-
phoning about it to police headuuar-
ters, who was killed. He thought It
was Miss Cling or Miss Ireland. and
when finally he learned that it was
Miss Cling, he became very much ex-
cited.
II thought Of all our relations" he
said, "and how l had lent her money.
l remembered that she had often
asked ME to lend her my revolver, and
as thought the matter over, 1 be-
came convinced that she had been
murdered. don't know what said
to the people there or Mt the police sta
tion. I'd rather you'd take their story
for that, as it is probably true. But
l was very much excited. 1 told the
officers that she had on blue dress
skirt and not black one, because I
knew it must be so. There are about
sixty days in October and November.
During those sixty days I had prob
ably seen her ninety times, and I am
sure that out Of the ninety times there
were eighty-seven when she had on a
shirt waist and a blue skirt. That

Hayward described how he was tak.
en- to the morgle and shown the dead
body. with everybody watching him.
He did not know what he did, but said
he felt very bad, and knew every one
there thought him guilty. He went to
Miss Ireland and offered to do any,
thing about the funeral he could. He
ordered some roses from a florist. and
attended the funeral. On Thursday he
and Adry were arrested and put in a
cell together. Adry seemed very down
In the mouth, and Harry had said to
him:
Were not guilty. What's the use
Of feeling this way?" but Adry was
dispiritcl. and finally Harry said:
"Adry, what is this? You held her
up once. Did you have anything to
do with this?"
Adry was silent and refused to talk
any more. After that there was no
further conversation between them.
This evidence caused a flutter of ex-
citement. 1t brought in the story
which on Thursday had been ruled out
by the court to the effect that Adry
was the masked highwayman who last
April held up and robbed Harry, Miss
Cling and Miss Vet1der while they were
out riding. The fact that the charge
was thus brought before the Jury this
morning will probably lead to a ven
tilation of the whole episode. Adry.
1t Is understood, will go on the stand
and deny the story with an alibi,
The Cross-Examinnt tion.
1t was somewhat of a. surprise to Mr..
Nye when Mr. Erwin turned the prjs
Oner over to his tender mercies a short
time before court adjourned. He had
expected that the examination wo lid
take ut least the day, and was hardly
prepared to go into the examination.
The day was an interesting one in the
extreme. being filled With the troubles
between the witness and his brother
Adry. he said, had proposed all the
details Of bloody murders. Harry ex-
planned tllat he had been so shocked at
his brothers depravity that he had re-
solved TO sound many other people 10
see IL they had such wonderful con
sciences. Thus it was that he had
questioned Waterman and the hack
man. and even l.. NJ. Stewart, and he
dared the state to put Stewart on the
stand. Instead of having threatened
to kill his brother with a knife. Adry.
he said, had threatened to rip his
entrails ont, had threatened to Kill hts
father, and had often stated that lie
was so devoid of conscience that he
could kill his father easily and not he
troubled about it afterwar;l. All
through his evidence 1t was Adry who
had been the fiend, Adry who was the
slaughterer, Adry who had mania
for killing people. Adry who was the
member of a gang, Adry who was ev-
erything. and vet with all this he went
on to tell how he confided all his bust
ness to Adry and begged his father to
take him back into his employ.
