HIS BROTHERS GUILT.

sSoAy oA Aury hdNWdrQ was a reVela- tion only as to detail, for it was merely another chapter of the story told by Claus Blixt; and in the fact that it re- moved the last vestige of doubt in the minds of spectators on this trial as to Harry Hayward's guilt. Through it all the elder brother shed no tears. His voice quavered several times as though about to break. but he main talned his composure throughout and | fasclzated the crowd assembled in that cramped room with the terrible recital. Everything was fitted in with Blixt's story in the most exact man. ner. There was the roll of one dollar bills, the notes signed by Miss Cling, the insurance policies; and the telling passage in the confession of this wit ness was when describing Hayward's action and words after Miss Cling had obtained 5000 policy on her life in- stead of one for S7.00o. Harry was much incensed at the mistake, and had said in Adry's presence:
 ''Ill kill her now if I don't get a cent. Any woman that would be such fool as to make such a mistake as 1 that"
 Adry described Harry's attempts to l get him as witness to the notes signed by Miss Cling, and his own re- fusal, the subsequent statement of the accused that he had found a man with nerve, and he was going to let Adry alone.
 He is an ex-policeman," said Hay- ward, and his name is Claus Blixt."
 The witness then went into his &C., quaintance with the final and success ful plan of Hayward to kill Miss Cling He described his frantic efforts to break up the scheme, his threats of ex- posture, and his subsequent visit to L. NJ. Stewart The story of how Harry attacked him in the office at the Oneida block sent thrill of horror through his hearers.
 Then came the story of the murder -Harry's caution to his brother not to be "out tonight, something may happen"
 Then came the crime itself and Harry's arrival at his brothers fiat. Adry went with him at his request, and they sat together in Harry's room y voiver. It was then that Harry walked across to Adry and, stepping over with the motion of picking up something from the floor, said, in loud whisper: Ut was just like picking up money"
 After that, Harry lay down on the lounge in his brothers room Adry covered him with an overcoat, and he slept there until morning, when the news of the crime was being shouted on every street corner, and the sleep ing man awoke to ask for a news- paper.
 Adry's description of the manner in which Harry acted when Adry had told him that he would hang if he per sisted in his thought of killing the girl, was intensely dramatic Adry got down from the stand, stepped to the attorneys table, and, stooping and clenching his fingers like claws, said:
 He came to me where I sat and clutched me around my throat and touched my hair. He said: Don't you say that again. If you do, I'll kill you
 His face turned dark, and I thought at the time that through his extreme anger he was out of his mind. I told him calmly enough that was cinched; that l meant every word I used I wanted him to understand that had told someone else about it and that I was cinched."
 Harry's face was fairly livid as Adrv spoke and his keeper kept the closest watch over him. As soon as possible the court ordered Adry back into his seat, and the strain was over.
 Adry said that Harry had often told him that he had a gang, and could swear him into Saltwater. Adry, however, had no fear. Erwin asked Adry point blank if he did not some- times think it was a horrid dream. but the witness could not see it that way
 Before being taken to the court room Deputy Sheriff Sirois searched Harry thoroughly saying that he had 1t from the county attorneys office to look out for weapon. Harry told the fact at the afternoon session as a piece of news.
 There was an affecting scene after the noon adjournment Hardly had the crowd began to push towards the door than Adry Hayward, fresh from the stand, pushed his way to his moth er's side. Mrs. Hayward turned, and the tears sprung to her eyes as she leaned forward into Adry's arms.
 Tenderly the son kissed his mother, who sobbed out: "Adry, Adry. how could you? How could you do it?" re- ferring to the testimony he had just
