surprise just before adjournment Fri

with her, and in response TO further

was Hayward and that he had picked
him out the next morning. This was,
indeed, an astonisher for the defense,
for IL has claimed that Hayward knew
nothing about Miss Ging's movements
that night and had not seen her. Ac-
cording TO this testimony Hayward and

was apparent by his respiration that

his confession was forthcoming.
