easy it would be for a fractions team to
run away and go over bluff. He even
situated the bluff, using the one at
Lake IhinOun where Gu6 DOulGVdFu
passes it.

must tell one of them. who was Miss
Cling, that she could win lots of money

Hay ward knew this fortune teller, and
that Miss Cling and Harry consulted her
frequently. Her story showed the be-
ginning of the plan made by Harry to
have Miss Ging's money by fair means
or foul.

Cling at store the afternoon of Dec. 3,
and she miss Ging) told her she had a

Adry Closes.

AIRY ClOSe5Ss
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.-The examina-
ton of Adry Hayward was concluded
yesterday. Nothing new bearing di-
rectly on the crime was drawn from
him, but all the skeletons in the Hay
ward family closet came ,out OF their
recesses and danced in ghoulish glee as
they showed themselves before the
world and FASTENED the overthrow of a
once proud family. Old family feuds,
paternal hatred and jealousies, pater-
nal favoritism and partially and vul-
gar domestic quarrels were revealed
by the drawn curtain. pulled aside by
Adry Hayward He did it without
linching, but there was bitterness and
melancholy beyond compare in his
heart. He was compelled to face the
painful fact that all the other mem bers
had united against him for the purpose
of running his reputation and discredit-
ing his sanity that Has'ry's life may be
saved. True, indeed, must he have

The mother, who the day before had
tried to reconcile her motherlv love for
her two sons who were directing their
efforts at such cross purposes, and had
turned to both of them for consolation
and reass urance, had decided yesterday
to abandon tie elder, less favored and
less endangered son for the younger,
favored and inperiled one.
All the time Adry was on the stand
yesterday the able criminal lawyer,
who leads the defense, devoted all his
powerful abilities to overwhelming,
confusing and eHasperating him. At
times Adry became angry when sug-
gestions of all sorts of criminal inten-
tons on his part were made by MIR. Er~
win in his questions. But for the most
part his self-contro1 was admirable.
Once, maddened by his mother, who
shook her head at his answer to some
questions she suggested to Erwin, he
addressed her, saying: Don't shake

Aside from the testimony of ipspec-
tor Doyle all the other witnesses called
yesterday testified as to the insurance
aspect of the case They were ali in
surance agents, from whom Harry Or
Miss Cling had obtained policies or to
whom they had applied for information
on the subject Of life insurance. This
evidence, through it might not be of
great value in itself, is very essential
from a corro boratiye standpoint. The
defense made quite a point when it
showed the clause in the Travellers
policy waving forfeiture of claim in
the event Of death from certain person

company issues. ON a detached slip
