Great Difficulty in Getting n Jury
Harry Hayward Appears In Court
As UnconccrneA Usu:li-Miss
Gins;'s Sister Present,
Minneapolis, Jan. 25. - Up to $50
three additional jurors had been Sc
cured in the Hayward case. They
were John Smith, Of 1887 East Frank
lin avenue, the tenth man called dur
ing the day; II. B. Timbcrlake, the in
surance man, who was the twenty
third man examined, and Charles Huff
Of Robbinsdale. The personnel of the
jury up to date is On unusually good
one, and the jurors selected seem
especially fair and impartial men.
twenty-five men were examined.
Adry Hayward made a statement
last night to the attorneys for the de-
tense in the case against Harry Hay
ward that, metaphorically speaking,
knocked these gentlemen all in heap.
Late yesterday afternoon Erwin pre-
sented an order Of the court on Coun-
ty Attorney Nye to produce Adry
Hayward at his request. Adry was
brought over from st. Paul during the
AFTERNOON and held in readiness fOl
an Interview with Mcssrs Erwin and
Smith until court adjourned. Mr. Err
WIN is, of course. very close mouthed
as to the impression made upon him
by Adry's statement. Both attorneys
for the state are satisfied that they
have strengthened the states case
by submitting without protest to the
Interview demanded on behalf of the
defense. Adry's story was the same
essentially as that told the authorities
but in detail it was more complete.
minneapolis, Jan. 26.-There were
several interesting incidents prior to
the opening of the Hayward case this
morning. Judge Smith took exception
to the statement in the morning pa
pers that he had issued an order for
AIRY Hayward's appearance before
the attorneys for the defense. Judge
smith pointed out that no such order
was necessary, and he objected to the
statement that such had been issued.
Inc crowd this morning was fully as
large as on any previous day Prob
ably about fifty women were present
IN the court room. Three jurors were
accepted, making eight the total num-
Der DOW selected. The new men are

Minneapolis, Jan. 29-Nine men have
proved acceptable for jurors in the
Hayward case as the result of five and
one-half days work. They are Lind

Of the attorneys they are exceptionally
good men. How long it will take to
secure the balance of the jury is a
matter for speculation. The defense
has eight peremptories left and the
state three.
Minneapolis, Jan. 81. - The defense
in the Hayward case showed it's hand
this morning. w. w. Erwin asked at
the end of the session whether the
court was ready to hear a motion for
the taking of dispositions showing
insanity in the Hayward
family. Judge Smith said he was not
ready to hear the motion at that time.
1t will be heard as soon as the jury
is filled, probably before court ad-
journs this afternoon. The intention
is not to plead insanity as the line of
defense, but to have a number of depo-
sltons and witnesses in reserve capa-
BILE of establishing the existence of
long standing insanity in the family.
The state will not oppose this motion
and it will probably be granted.
The opinions of attorneys interested
IN the cast indicate that the defense
must be hard pushed for capable evil
dence of any kind to have sprung the in
sanity theory at this stage of the pro-
ceedings. A great deal of surprise was
evinced at Mr.. Erwin's request, though
1t is recognized that the insanity plea
Will only be made as the last resort.
According to the wording of the Pc
tltion, the defense claimed that the
" ASA luS<tullS III
Hayward family could be proved by
the summoning Of J. F. Mckenzie, SUI
perintendent of the general hospital for
the insane at Jacksonville, ILL.,; S. v.
Keller, Medora, ILL.,; Mrs. Mary A.
Williams and Mrs. Sarah A. Phipps,
Mattoon. ILL.,, and DR.. Samuel Van
Meter of Charleston, III. The petition
stated that these people We're neces-
sary and material witnesses in the
case on behalf of the defendant, and
that the defense could not safely pro-
coed without their appearance in court
The defense expects to prove by
these witnesses that a number of the
prisoners ancestors were insane.
Judge Smith has granted the motion
Of the defense for permission to take
the dispositions, with the reservation
that the dispositions could be used in
the case in the defendants behalf if
returned in time for Introduction with
out delaying the case, the court to ex-
ercise its discretion in any other event.
Mr.. Nye in answering the motion said
that while Hayward was arraigned on
Dec. 81 no notice had been given the
state of their dispositions and witnesses
until late this morning.
