Minneapolis. Feb. 9.-The first wit
ness in the Hayward murder trial was
Hans Barlow. Hans had been present
in the basement of he Ozark flats
when BliXt cut the Il rail for Harry
Hayward. He was put on by the star
To c~orrOhOrate BliXt's story OF that
transaction. and lid so without con
tradicting BllXt in any important de
tail. He had helped Blixt cut the rail
In two. and he heard Harry Hayward
ScOld BliXt for cutting 1t instead of
simply bending it. On croSS-cxamina-
ton an admission was drawn from him
that he had served a term in the work
house.
Claus RliXt was again put on the
stand, and Mr.. Erwin, after long queS
tioHing as to the details of his story,
sprung n sensation. He asked him If
he had not. on Nov. 2, gone to the
Arnold hotel. on Central avenue, with
two other men. and rented some rooms.
That's the biggest lie | ever heard"
exclaimed Blixt.
Mr.. Erwin questioned him closely.
but BliXt p~rOfeSSed entire ignorance
about the alleged occurrence. The
hotel register was introduced in evil
dcn"c, and Erwin asked RIiXt if the

CITY," wasn't written by him. BliXt
denied utterly that he had ever even
seen the register. These questions
point to a theory of the defense that
the murder was the work Of a gang of
green goods men, and that Hayward
had nothing to do with it.
Adry Appears.
Adry Hayward. the brother Of the &C
cuScd. made his first appearance in the
court room this afternoon. AS he took
his seat he shook hands in a cordial
manner with Blixt. Harry came in
a minute later. but did not cast a
glance toward the other two. Adry
half-rOSc in his chair as if he would
meet his brother, but, receiving no
recognition from Harry, he settled
back in his chair. A moment later he
got up and vent to Harry. The two
shook hands, but Harry scarcely looked
at the brother. Adry appeared to feel
the slight, and without saying a word
he stepped back to his seat.
The witness, BliXt. was again placed
on the stand, and the crOsS-examina-
ton continued, but Attorney Erwin
did not follow up the hotel episode any
further. He carried Blixt back to the
night Of the murder, questioning him
closely as to the distance he drove after
shooting Catherine Cling, and his visit
to the Swede lagman'S cabin on his
way home. Witness said he had been
acquainted with the fiagman. He did
not find the fiagman 'at home" and
soon left the place. The witness was
questioned closely in regard TO the
course taken in going down town.
This was tedious in the extreme, and
there were no material disclosures.
Minneapolis, Feb. 10-Mr. Erwin was
not present when the Hayward muir
der trial was resumed this morning,
and it was feared that his long bout
with BliXt in the crOSs-eXaminatiOn
had exhausted him, but he came in
later. The crosS-eXamination of the as
Sistant %janitOr, Charles Anderson, de-
volved upon John Day Smith, who
elected nothing Of Importance. Frank
Tucker, the elevator boy at h Ozark
fats. testified in further confederation
Of BliXt as to the long talks the jani-
tor was accustomed to have with Har-
ry Hayward in the basement of the
Ozark, and especially as to the confer
ences the two had on the day OF the
murder.
Frank Mccormick, a barkeeper, tes-
tilted to selling Harry Hayward on the
day of the murder, a flask OF whisky
like the one Blixt says Harry gave him.
John Kennedy, a tiagman, cOrrobor-
ated Blixt's testimony as TO his visit
to the station on the night of the muir
der. The state called s. K. Hance to
further corrobOrate the whisky pur-
chase, but Mr.. Erwin said Harry
would admit the purchase on the
stand. This was the first intimatiOn
that Harry Hayward would himself
20 on the stand.
J. w. WeatherspOon, elevator man at
the Oneida block, corrOborated Bllxt's
story of how Miss Cling signed the
$1,000 note to Harry Hayward in his
Office and how he and Blixt witnessed
the signature. Then Harry Spencer,
4 walter. told how Harry and Miss
Cling came to the restaurant, saying:
Il went to get their orders. l
noticed a roll OF money. Hayward said
to me: Don't you think it's foolish
for a young woman to show so much
-S2,OOOT' l conceded with him, and
expressed some doubt as to there be-
ing 1000. and Harry said it was. The
roll OF bills was as big as a glass tum-
bier. There was a SO bill on the out
side"
He told also Of other occasions when
the two had visited the restaurant.
