70 iEn-her Miss Ging-Adry's Alleged
Jealousy.
MINNEAPOLIs, Feb. 49, 49, Greatly 1n-
creased crowds and many police officers
appeared at the Hayward trial. Adry
Hayward was on the stand for continued
cross-examinatiOn He was asked in re,
gard to his conversation in the Jail with
Harry relative to their pressing BliXt
rather closely.
Don't you know there was no thing in
the paper that day about Blixt?" asked
Mr.. Erwin. mo, don't. l know he was
reading the paper; l was not. "
ON Oct. z, 1884, were you not out OF
your mind?' II can't say"
DID you not curse and threaten to kill
your father and mother?''
We'll, | had some trouble over money.
Harry came in, dragging father and he
lay down on the lounge. There was
shortage, but explained it. Harry was
trying to make the trouble"
Harry smiled at this point
Eyes, you smile,' said the witness, "but
you know it is so. / accused Harry of
stealing the money from my tlat-mind,
don't say he did it, but accused him then
and there, Mother spoke up, and l told
her that if she could not trust her sons
why did she raise such litter of pups.
Then got mad, and when Harry threat
ened to rip me up with a kuife, | went to
get my revolver and said l would let Harry
wound me, but if he did would blow his
brains out My wife can swear to that.
You need not shake your head mother,
cried the witness, noticing his mother.
THAT was the first trouble l had with my
mother, and if it had not been for Harry |
would never have had that trouble"
During the examination the witness
said he did not blame Harry for trying to
defend himself in the suit, but he did
blame the family by letting itself be
brought into disgrace by helping him out.
He hated to testify against his brother,
but he had some rights, and did not think
he had to be dragged down on his brothers
account.
'Were you not always jealous of your
brother?" mo, sir F."
Did not you ever threaten your brother
with violencc?' "Once, when my brother
said he could get men for $15 to send me
to saltwater, l said l knew enough to
send him to Saltwater and father was
right there and heard it,"
Witness then testified to going to Mr.
Stewart telling him his troubles
Adry was questioned at length regarding
the shoes he wore on the night of the mur
der, These questions on the part of the
| defense indicate possible purpose of set
| ting up that it was Adry and not Harry
who conspired to commit the murder with
Blixt, and that the much talked of pointed
shoe tracks at the scene of the murder
were made by Adry.
The state has presented all it's testimony
and expects to be completely through by
noon today. This afternoon the defense
will present its side, and then the public
| will know just which one of the lines OF
defense has been decided upon. The state
has fulfilled the promise made by Mr..
Hall in the opening, and has proved on the
stand all that it outlined to the jury.
1t is wonderful as well as an awful tale.
1t reads more improbable than any of the
dramatic writings of the most sensational
| French novelists. 1t is almost past belief
Brother against brother, indeed has it
been for years in that family and now,
perchance, it is life for a life,
The mother of those two sons heard the
attorney for the prisoner present the
foundation for laying the crime at the door
of her first born In that crowd, not too
finely strung, not too tenderly constituted
there was a tremor Of horror A crowd
which had laughed gleefully at a PROPOSE
ton to tear a woman's head off with an
elevator was transllgured with disgust at
the proposition Of sacrificing one on the
altar of family preference.
During the afternoon several life insur
anceaEents testified TO toconvcrsatIonsw whicl
