BY this time Adry had put on his
coat and started to go out. He saw
his brothers agitation and stopped.
Harry saw him. His fury broke
loose in a terrible threat: "Oh, I'll

Adry merely smiled. 1t was not

scorn. It was a smile of commisera-

tightening about his neck.
Minneapolis, March 6. - The pro-
tracted sickness OF Juror Dyer, the
aged Ainnetonka boat builder, and
States Attorney Nye, made it neces-
sary to postpone the closing argu-
ments in the Hayward case to-day I'M
til tomorrow morning. It might have
been possible to have carried the gray
headed juror into the court room, but
Mr.. Nye was in no physical condition
to make the closing plea.
The prospect of hearing this eloquent
advocate of the state brought out Il
large crowd this morning. 1t was ear
ly whispered about the court that
Juror Dyer had gradually grown worse
since Saturday, and that possibly he
would be unable to appear. EARLY this
morning DR.. Spring was summoned to
his hotel, and afterward Judge Smith
and he had consultation. the result
of which was that the judge, on tax
ing his seat, announced that court
would stand adjourned until to-mor-
row morning.
Minneapolis, March THE closing
act in the great Hayward murder trial
was begun under strange auspices.
The deputies and attendant nurses
had brought s. II. Dyer, the sick and
aged juror, cal efully into court and
deposited him in reclining attitude
IN an easy chair. 1t was an evident
effort for him to hold his head up, but
when at last he had found comforta-
hle position, court was opened and the
defense having Concluded to intro
duce no more evidence, Frank Nye,
the county attorney, rose to address
the jury. His face was ashen pale,
and his eyes shone like twin stars in
dark night. 1t did not seem, as he
leaned against the table, that he could
possibly prove equal to the five hours
of talk that were before him. However.
before he had been talking twenty
minutes the oratorical excitement WAS
upon him, and the mental inspiration
of the complicated and remarkable
case Which he was now summing I'D
for the jury played it's part. His voice
rang out like bugle, and his friends
Hcle COuuucuC tIlaL ne would mold out
to the end
Mr.. Nye opened with an admission
that he did not feel strong enough to
be sure Of going through to the end of
the closing argument, but he felt sure
that the verdict did not rest on any
arm of flesh. God who ruled the uni
verse, would direct the light of truth
on
This Extraordinary Case.
Briefly but effectively he then
sketched the career of Harry Hay
ward, his gambling proclivities, his as
sociations with Miss Cling and his in
fuence over this sick man. Blixt
The crime had been committed by
Blixt at the incitation of Hayward, but
it had brought with it revolution in
his entire being. After it came con-
science, remorse, horror of himself.
No man could picture the agony Of the
horror that Blixt endured after the
cimmission Of the crime until he de-
ciGed to tell the truth. Hayward had
pursued this plan of getting Blixt un-
der his mental dominati ton for months
Blixt had killed Kate Cling in frenzy
and not as criminal would have done
it. He had gone to the deed with his
