Hans Barlow. Hans had been prrscnt
in the basement OF lie Ozark flats
when BliXt cut the r rail for Harry
Hayward. He was put on by the sta!
to cOrrohoratc BliNt's story of that
transaction. and lid so without cnn-
trldicting BliNt in any important de-
tail He had helped Elixt cut the rail
in two. and lie heard Harry Hayward
scold BliXt for cutting it instead of
simply bending Il. On croSs-cXamina-
ton an admission was drawn from him
that he had served Il term in the work
house.
Claus lsliXt was again put on the
stand. and Mr.. Erwin. after long Ql,es-
tioning as to the details of his story.
sprung Il sensation. He asked him II
he had not. OH Nov. .. gone to the
Arnold hotel, OH Central avenue. with
TWO other men. and rented some rooms.
"That's the biggest lie l ever heard,
exclaimed BliXt.
Mr.. Erwin questioned him closely,
but Blixt professcl entire ignorance
about the alleged occurrence. The
hotel register was introduced in cvi-
dcncc. and Erwin asked Blixt If the
signature of "Arne W.. Teller. Wally
City," wasn't written by him. BliNt
denied utterly that he had ever even
seen the register. These questions
point to theory Of the defense that
the murder was the work of q gang of
green goods men, and that Hayward
had nothing to do with it.
Aslry Appears.
Adry Hayward. the brother of the ac-
cused. made his first appearance in the
court room this afternoon. AS he took
his seat he shook hands in II cordial
manner With RliXt. Harry came in
a minute later, but did not cast n
glance toward the other two. Adry

meet his brother, hut, receiving no
recognition from Harry. he settled
back in his chair. A moment later he
got up and went to Harry. The two
shook hands, but Harry scarcely looked
at the brother. Adry appeared to feel
the slight. and without saying word
he stepped back to his seat.
The witness. BliXt was again placed
OIL the stand. and the cross-cXalnina,

shooting Catherine Cling, and his visit
TO the Swedc flaSman's cabin on his
way home. Witness said he had been
acquainted with the tlagman. IIe did
not find the tlagman lat home" and
soon left the place. The witness was
questioned closely in regard to tho
course taken in going down town
This was tedious in the extreme. and
there were no material disclosures.
Minneapolis, Feb. 1O-Nr. Erwin was
not present when the Hayward mur,
der trial was resumed this morning
and 1t was feared that his long bout
