THE HAiWARD IRIAL.
Queer Financial ITaDsactions Between
Him and Miss Cling.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Feb. 26-The
Hayward trial was carried on to-day
without the picscnoe Of the county attor-
ney. Assistant County-Attorney Hall
took up the discrimination.
Witness Hayward stated that the time
he loaned her 5000 Miss Cling was raising
money to loan to Jones a sons"
"Did it not strike you as strange that
she should discount one loan to make
another" asked the attorney.
Witness was not sure that the discount
was made until afterwards.
"Well. ii you knew she was securing
this money from you 10 loan, why did you
make it payable on domand?'
'NVeI. ! ddn't suppose / was lending
ii for years and years / thought she
could put her hand on that amount at
any time"
''Wen. who else did she lend money
to?"
What's the use hollering their names
right out here? Why can't YOU find out
some other way? / don't want 20 men
lion this one mans name here. He might
be n friend of yours or mine"
"Do you know of any other people 20
whom she was lending money!
"Yes, sir; but not at that time"
"As far as yOu know you are the only
Ierson to whom she was lending money
10 gamble"
Eyes, sir; as far as ! know"
Under the probing Of Attorney Hall
HAYWARD Iccounted long series Of queer
financial transactions between himself
and Miss Cling. and between Miss Cling
and other persons the ultimate object of
which seemed to be to raise money for
Hayward to gamble with either on his
own account or upon his account with
Miss Cling, these including paWning val
uables, discounting notes. borrowing upon
real estate and sales Of real estate.

tact the treasury bears the expense OF
their delivery TO all points within the

Of the United States. SO far the syndi-
cate has not indicated when they desire
the bonds delivered or whore, and they
will be retained in the treasury until
such instructions are received. W mem
ever the syndicate indicate their desire,
ACCOMMODATING their instructions with the
certificates of the gold they have de-
posted bOnds-Tegistcred or coupon, ana
Of the denomination asked foG-will be

aiso that the treasury will be asked TO

from Washington to London, the syndi-
cate paying the expense Of the ocean

The Court instructs the jury that il IS
a well established rule at law that In
criminal case circumstantial evidence
ought 70 be acted on with the utmost
caution. and can never Justify a verdict
OF guilty unless the circumstances proved
are OF such character and tendency as
10 produce upon a fair and unpreiudiced
mind moral conviction Of the guilt OF
the accused beyond all reasonable doubt,
and unless the evidence Of the guilt of
the accused IN this case is so strong as 10
exclude every reasonable hypothesis OF
his innocence the jury must acquit the
defendant
The court further instructs the jury
that they must be satisfied beyond a
reasonable doub- that each and every
element OF the crime, as charged, has
been clearly proved. 1t Is not sufficient
that there be strong probabilities OF guilt,
for II the fact tending 20 show guilt may
fairly be reconciled with innocence, the
Jury should theh consider reasonable
doubt as existing and acquit the prison

demand a conviction while there is a
rational doubt in the minds Of the jury.
