INSANITY THE DEFENSE.
Erwin Allow Il Glimpse of His Hand in
tlAe Hayward Trial.

MINNEAPolIs, Jan. 30.-The first ink
ling to the nacure of Harry Hayward's
defense came out when Attorney Erwin
asked permission to argue motion to
take dispositions, on behalf Of the de-
sense, to show hereditary insanity in the
Hayward family.
According to the wording of the peti-
ton, the defense claims that existence
Of hereditary insanity i'll the family
can be proved by the summoning of
j. f. Mckenzie, superintendent Of
the Central hospital for the insane at
Jacksonville, ILL.,. S. V. Keller, of Me
dora, ILL.,; Mrs, Mary A. Williams and
Mrs. Sarah A. Phipps, of Manoun, H.;
and DR.. Samuel Van Meter, Of Charles
ton, LII. The petition states that these
people are necessary and material wit
nesses i'll the case in behalf of the de-
tendant, and that he, Erwin, could not
safely proceed without their presence
in court.
What Is Expected to BE Proven.
Defendant expects to prove by the
testimony of each Of these witnesses
tllS l'tl1 dts W tllS COlutlCG VI ScN
eral relatives of Hayward who were con-
fined i'll insane asylums during their in
sane periods, with their symptoms and
manifestations.
! The ease with which the eleventh
juryman was selected led to the belief
that the state would have twelve good
men to proceed with the trial by
noon, but in this all We're dis
appointed. The eleventh man was
Michael Eckes, cleanly shaved young
farmer, but with heavy moustache,
from Brooklyn. Almost all others ex-
amined were Of foreign birth, and had
guage that they were not considered

Says Lancaster special OF July 25: The
fact that this city Will before the close of
the present year have two modern and
capaelous stock yards, calls attention to
tho circumstance that Lancaster is the
most important cattle market east of the
Aleghenies There ara fifteen local firms
and individuals who deal In cattle, the
number OF animals annually handled ag.
gregating about 45 000 principally feed.
Ing cattle. The cattle season begins In
June and runs along until February fat
cattle being brought into the market when
the demand for stockers has ceased.
Feeding cattle has become one of the
most important adjuncts in Eastern
Pennsylvania. and is pursued not only for
the direct profit there is in 1t. but also as
means to keep up tho fertility of tho
soil.
Many Of the cattle that come here are
sold to the buyers In Berks Chester, Mont
gomery, Delaware SchuyllSill and other
counties of the State. while buyers are
also regularly present from New Jersey
and Delaware. 1t Is estimated, however,
that two thirds of the cattle brought into
this country are kept here to be fattened.
Tho prospect for the fall trads in cattle ls
particularly good. owing to the excellent
crops and the growing ease OF the money
markets, as compared with the last several
years.

REMARKABLE CRIMINAL
Still Another Murder Charged to
H. q. Holmes.
PROBABLY HIS FIRST VICTIM.

In This Murder It Is Alleged That II. #.
PitezsI, Holmes Latest Victim, Was n
Participant and Equally Guilty with
ths Chief conspirator.
CHICAGO, July 2o.-Inspector Fitspat
Eick was yesterday put Into possession OF
facts which weave closer the web OF proof
around H. II. Holmes and adds another
Victim TO the already long list. This In
formation was furnished by Attorney
George b. Chamberlain, general manager
OF the Lafayette Mercantile agency.
This murder Is shown to have been prior
10 or during 1891 b. II. sPltezel, who
later fell q victim, was n participant In the
murder Of this man, Attorney Chamber
lain says, and is equally guilty with
Holmes. The crime was committed In
Chicago either in 1891 or early In 1872.
Again the victim was taken to the
Holmes building In Englcwood. There
It was, Mr.. Chamberlain gives the Inn
preston, that the crime WAS committed.
The police do not think that his body
has been found. Tho skeletons that were
srticulated were furnished year and two
years later. 1t is the belief that the body
was dissected and oremated or buried
deep In quick lime In the bottom Of the
basement.
The name Is kept from tho public the
attorney says, to allow the police to work
mp further evidence. 1t is believed that
this Is the first victim Of II. II. Holmes.
