MiSSEAroLls, Fob. l0.--In tho Hay.
ward murder trial to-day Frank Erhar.,
who was summoned by his brother
when tho body wa, found, gavo evi-
donco which seemed to impsach the
evidence OF lilixt In QUO important par.
ticular. lIe sworo that hp had found
In tho dirt near whero tho body lay a
heel mark and then too mark Of
lady's shoe. There was also tho trace OF
where tho foot had dragged to whero
tho body lay. This evidence went to
show that Miss Ging's body had been
pushed out OF tho buggy feet frat, in
stead OF hoad first, rs tho murderer tos.
titled. OF course this would overthrow
tho theory that tho fracture OF the
skull aud tho confusion were caused by
the fall from the buggy, and would help
to impcnch tho evidence OF Blixt.
George Grindall was an important
witness for tho defense. lie was stand.
ing on First avonue. north, between
Fourth aud Fifth streets, at Z o'clock
or thercabouts. on December 8, the night
OF tho murder. Grindall had IN ap.
pointmcnt with young woman at the
point named, and was waiting there for
her. Standing short way from him
was n man, like that man there" said
the witness. pointing TO Attorney Sweet
ser. Grindall saw Miss Cling drive up.
Tho man he had senn waiting there en-.
tered tho buggy with her and they
drove away. This point Is about block
from the West hotel. whence Miss Cling
started on her fa,eiul ride. Tho do.
scrip,ion given by Grindall Of the man
who joined her does not at all fit Harry
Hayward.
There was wofdy quarrel between
tho lawyers over Grindall's testimony,
each side intimating that the other side
was manufacturing evidence.
Tho elusive "thi.d man. whom the
defense has been so earnestly chasing
thu, bobs up again in Grindalps owl
dence, but in different guise from the
descriptions of him limited at heretofore
in the deicnsc's evidence.
George Grindall resumed the staad
this afternoon. lle said that efforts had
been made to corrupt his testimony BY
an attorney, Charles Ebert. Ebert, he
said, described to him what he must
say on the stand, trying to nave short
man substituted for n tall man. Ebert
had been representing himself as one of
Erwin's men. The witness said he did
not find ou, until last Saturday that
Ebert WAS working for tho states side
Of the case. Then, he declares, he al.
lowed him to 60 on. Last night, ior the
first time, he informed Mr.. Erwin OF
Eberts operations.
Julia E. Walker, OF St Paul, testified
this afternoon to having seen Miss Cling
several times in St Paul with middle
aged man. whe wore an iron grey nous.
tache. Here is the third man again.
The description given by the witness
does not tally with that OF Wilson or
Grinbell.
Several other witnesses were heard
but nothing OF Importance was learned.
After the adjournment tonight there
was an immense crowd waiting out
side the court room to see Harry
taken to the jail. They wait
ed until the prisoner was brought
out in irons and then there was a
demonstration. After he had passed
Fourth street, the cry went up from the
top OF lumber wagon in hoarse
voice: Hang him. hang him."
he crowd had only been waiting for
the cue, and from all sides. from hun.
dreds Of hoarse throats. the cry went
up: Hang him, hang him."
