From His Terrible Resolution.
The Night of the Murder.
Minneapolis. Minn, Feb. 1.-THE story
of Adry Hayward at the Cling trial was
a revelation only as to detail, for it was
merely another chapter Of the story told
by Claus Blixt and in the fact that it re-
moved the last vestige of doubt in the
minds Of the spectators on this trial as
to Harry Hayward's guilt. Through it all
the elder brother shed no tear. His voice
merely quavered several times, as though
about TO break, but he maintained his
composure throughout and fascinated the
crowd assembled in that cramped room
with the terrible recital Everything was
fitted in with BliXt's story in the most
exact manner There was the roll OF 81
bills, the notes signed by Miss Cling, and
the insurance policies.
The telling passage in the confession Of
this witness was when describing Hay
wards actions and words after Miss Cling
had obtained a $1,000 policy on her life,
instead of one for 5000. Harry was much
incensed a the mistake and said IN Ad-
rvs presence: IN kill her now if don't
get a cent. Any woman that would be
such a fool as TO make such mistake as
that"
Adry described Harry's attempt to get
him as a witness of the notes signed by
Miss Cling and his own refusal, and the
subsequent statement of the accused that
he had found a man with nerve and he
was going to let Adry alone. lie IS an
ex-poiiceman," said Hayward, "and his
name is Claus Blixt."
The witness then related his knowledge
of the final plan of Hayward to kill Miss
Cling. He described his frantic efforts
to break up the plot, his threats of ex-
posure and his subsequent visit to L. NJ.
sewart. The story of how Harry attacked
him in the office at the Oneida block sent
a thrill of horror through his hearers.
Then came the story of the murder. Har
RVS caution to his brother not to 'be out
tonight; something may happen" Then
came the crime itself and Harry's arrival
at his brothers fiat. Adry went with
him at his request and they sat together
in Harry's room, while the younger man
cleaned his revolver. 1t was then that
Harry walked across to Adry, and, stoop-
ing over with the motion of picking up
something from the floor, said, in a loud
whisper lit was just like picking up
money"
After that Harry lay down on the
lounge in his brothers room. Adry COW
cred him with an overcoat and he slept
there until morning, when the news or
the crome was being shouted on every
street corner and the sleeping man awoke
to ask for a newspaper.
Adry's description of the manner in
which Harry acted when Adry had told
him that he would hang If he persisted
in his thoughts of killing the girl, was
intensely dramatic. Adry got down from
the stand, stepped to the attorneys ta-
Bile, and, STOPPING and clinching his fin
gers like clamps, said: He came TO
me where I sat and clutched me around
my throat and touched my hair. He
said Don't you say that again. If you
do I'll kill YOU His face turned dark
and 1 thought at the time that through
his extreme anger he was out of his
mind. I told him calmly. though, that I
was cinched That's the very word /
used. 1 wanted him to understand that
/ had told some one else about it and it
fwas cinched."
Harry's face was fairly livid as Adry
spoke, and his keeper kept the closest
watch over him. AS soon as possible
the court ordered Adry back into his
seat and the strain was over.
Adry said that Harry had often told
him he had a gang and could swear
him into still water. Adry, however,
had no fear.
Mr.. Erwin asked Adry point blank
If he did not some times think it was a
horrid dream, but the witness could not
see it that way. 1t seems probable that
the defense viii try to prove Harry in
sane by the testimony of his brother
Dr. Thaddeus Hayward Of Colorado.
