JUST SURPRISING A CASE.
Damaging Testimony of Hackman on the
HAYWARD Trial.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. Every
damaging testimony to the defense was
presented in the Hayward murder trial
today. The witness was the hackman
whom Harry Hayward had asked as to
whether his conscience would be strick-
en- If he should commit some crime /;
and as to whether he would drive a
carriage into the lake and let its occu-
pant drown. Hackman Vallaide testi-
fed that Harry had asked him these
questions, making the case look very
black for him now.
The state rested this afternoon with
mass of damaging evidence against
Hayward. The defendant himself was
apparently undismayed. Not so with
his attorneys. They appeared worried
and went down town together to hold
conference as to what they will present
as their defense.

next proposition will be for a $1,000
