the court room Is minutes before the
trial began. His wife sat beside him
with traces Of recent trials upon her
cheeks, but Adry maintained mask of
smiles and joviality. When Harry was
brought in by the deputies, the eyes Of
the two brothers met, but there was no
sign Of recognition other than smile of
commiseration on the face of Harry
DR.. Thaddeus T. Hayward, the third
brother, was present, and was visibly
more cordial to Harry than to Adry. It
is understood that he will go on the
stand and swear that his brother Adly
Is Mentally Incapable,
.tnd in fact insane. When asked
whether he would be witness he re-
fused to either affirm Or deny it, and
when further questioned as to whether
Adry is insane, he replied, eff he is not
he has been very near it several times
in the past.'' The direct examination
of ex-Mayor Eustis was resumed at the
opening Of the court with the story Of
his interview in the Oneida block with
Harry Hayward about the loans he hal
made Miss Cling Mr.. Erwin inter
posed an objection that the information
had been obtained under duress, but
this was ovelruled and the ex-mayor re-
peated the now familiar story.
The cross examination developed
nothing but objections from the state
which were sustained and exceptions
noted by the defense.
Adry Takes the Stand.
Adrian Hayward was then called to
the stand and buzz of subdued inter-
est went around the courtroom. He
stated that, he was 80 and Harry was 20
years of age. He had come to Minneap-
oils rs years ago from Mecoupin county,
Illinois, where he was born. He was
married and had two children. He was
employed in his fathers office where he
transacted most Of the loan and rental
business. Harry was not employed
there but often came there. Harry had
told him that last summer and fall he
was engaged in loaning money on
diamonds.
Harry Hayward also told him that he
had gambled some. He had told him Of
having loaned money for Miss Cling,
and having gambled with her money.
He Had a Delusion.
At this point Mr.. Erwin arose and
impressively said: II wish to enter an
objection here This witness has a de-
fusion on this subject, and is, in fact,
insane"
II don't see," said the court, "that
he's any more insane than some of the
attorneys in this case.''
81 take an exception Of the court S
ruling" retorted Mr.. Erwin, 'and to
the courts remark before this jury
With that remark he sat down, and
the examination proceeded.
''He told me-" continued Adry, ''that
she held some notes secured by mort
gage on a flour mill at Hamel, and
asked me to 60 out with him to Hamel' s
and see about it. We drove out, and
though I advised him against the loan,
he made it, Three weeks later he came
in and said he

probably get the money to handle.
About the middle Of September he asked
me if wanted to make good money ]
said yes, and he said I could get about
$4,000 if was not too particular. He
asked me if I was willing to kill a
woman for $4,000. I said I was not
willing to kill anybody. He said it was
easy to do it and nobody would be sus.

set of criminals who had been convicted
of crime before. After that he said he

thing for him. He said it would be
easy to

and if necessary the hackman could be
killed too. asked him if the hackman
had family and he said he did. Then
said it would be an awful thing to kill a
woman, let alone q hackman. After
that he suggested getting her drowned
in a lake but that looked too much like
suicide and he gave it up. Then he
wondered how she would fall if he took
her buggy riding and they should strike
a boulder, whether she would fall in o.
out. After that he talked about getting
her tangled up in the lines and have thu
horse run away"
Adry then told how on the morning
Of Nov. s Harry had come to his flat.
