MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, February 13.-
The State in winding up its case Of
murder against Harry Hayward to-day
delivered a body blow which staggered
the defense. The first witness intro
duced this morning was none other than
Peter Valalie, the hackman OF whom
Harry had spoken to Adry as being will
ing 10 assist in tho proposed crime
ValIalls's testimony was most damaging
to the defense, as it corrob-
GRATED in a striking way one portion Of
Adry Hayward's remarkable story, and
thus rendered thoroughly untenable the
cefence's pet theory as to Adry's sanity
Vaialiie testified that Harry Hayward
had approached him with questions as
to whether he had ever "doDe any
thing" and If 50, whether his con
science had bothered him. Hayward
had later asked Valaiie whether ne
would drive hack into Lake Calhoun
aud let the occupant drown, for a SUN
Of money. II told him | was no swim

THIS IS TUE FIRST coRRoBoRATIoE
Of the stories of Blixt and Adry OBJ
tained from an entirely outside source.
and exhibited In striking way Hay
wards strangely careless way OF asking
incriminating questions and making
damaging statements. That man ca
pable OF concoctng as cunning and in
tricate po. should have made so many
coufdants seem almost as Incredible as
that he snould have concocted the plot
al all. Mr.. Erwin at once recognized
the supreme importance Of this testt-
mony, and tried to have II stricken cut
entirely. The court, however, refused
10 sustain his objection, and the eyi-
1ence goes 10 the jury. II was knock
out 0low reserved by the State until
the very last. and sadly upsets the de-
fense's plans.
Erwiu'S objection having been ever
ruIed, Vailalie said:
Harry had talk with me st the
Ozark about four or five o'clock in the
morning in my carriage. He questioned
me
AS TO MY CONSCIENCE,
and whether it would follow me. He
asked me about driving into the lake
with some one in the hack and then
jumping off and leaving them &C. told
him was no swimmer. He then asked
me If the team was frActious and | told
him il was: He asked me what | wanted
for the team, and | told hun. He asked
me II | cared what became OF the team
after bought it. told him did not.
He then AL ked me if the team running
away would do up the whole rig, and l
said il would"
"What did you understand by this
question:"
IF my conscience would hurt me, |
understood him TO mean II 1 would Kill
somebody, and | told MIN l would not
have anything to do with anything that
would Kill or hurt anybody, not if /
knowed it,"
Did he mention any place near R
lake to drive OFF,"
Eyes, he spoke Of the bluff near Lake
Calhoun"

mond rings that have figured in the tes-
timony. While the transaction was
being concluded Harry had Flashed q

Gittleson could not determine. Harry
often came 10 him for "lucky money"

Mrs. Emma Goodale, a trance medi-
uu doing business under the cognomen
