The defense in the Hayward trial
yesterday sprung a small sensation
of a cheap order. The invincible
Blixt was questioned as to his con-
nection with a gang of counterfeit
ers, and was about the most sur
prised man in the court room. An
attempt was made to associate him
with a mysterious gang, who had
looked for a rendezvous on the East
side, and question after question was
asked him to paint him as green
goods handler. The attempt fell
fiat. and the states attorneys were
angered and disguised. BliXt was
asked as to his knowledge of the Ar
mold hotel on Central avenue, kept
by a man of the name Of Cunning
ham. Cunningham was in court
and stood up when requested to do
so by Mr. Erwin to be identified by
Blixt. Il never saw the man before
in my life" said Blixt, with astonish-
ment depicted in every feature. The
defense fooled along with this theory
for some time, eliciting nothing but
denials from the astounded witness.
AS the days go by it is becoming
evident that the defense is making
feeble efforts to check the accumula-
ton of damning evidence of the
state, in spite of it's herculean en-
deavOrs. Not a single witness put
forward by the state thus far can
be said to have offered q vulnerable
point. Blixt, the least able to cope
with skilled lawyers of them all,
because of his inferior intelligence,
has proven the strongest witness
yet placed on the stand Yesterday
he was excused, after three days of
the most searching cross-examina-
ton, and nothing material in his
extraordinary story has been af-
fected.
Adry Hayward was in court yes
terday afternoon, and will probably
take the stand today. There was a
short meeting between the brothers
at 2 o'clock. Adry advanced to
where Harry was sitting and extend
ed his hand. Harry looked at him.
1t was their first meeting since Har-
rvs arrest. Their eyes met, Harry's
face flushed, and that understandable
contraction Of the muscles of his
face about the cheek bones was
noticeable. There was no heartiness
in the greeting. They did not speak,
or, II they did, it was in so low a tone
that those standing near by could
not hear.
Hans Barlow, the man who over
heard the conversation between Hav-
ward and BliXt regarding the T rail,
was on the stand in the forenoon.
AT one time it looked as though the
defense had a point when he testi-
he'd that Hayward picked up both
pieces of the rail and carried them
away from the basement. as RIixt
had testified that Hayward took
out one piece, and walked out with
II under his coat. But on cross-ex-
animation it developed that Barlow
had peen with the two in the boiler
room, and that Blixt had walked
with Harry to the next room. After
that Barlow heard a sound as if
something heavy had fallen. point
ing TO the theory, as testified by
bIlXt, that Hayward threw one piece
on the 1loor in this room, and placed
the other under his coat.
Charles Anderson, brother Of Mrs
BllXt, was on the stand when court
ADJOURNED at 5 o'clock. His testi-
mony, as we'll as that of Barlow was
corroborative of many obscure things
in Blixts testimony.
