Minneapolis, Feb. q. - When the
trial OF the Hayward murder case was
resumed it was announced that Coun-
" Attorney Nye could not be present
owing to a funeral in the family. and
the defendant who was still on the
witness stand, was turned over to the
tender mercies OF Assistant County
Attorney A. H. Hall for cross-examin-
alton. Mr.. Hall plunged at once into
the questions Of the various loans
made by Hayward to Miss Cling, the
aim Of his questions apparently being
to show that Harry lent the drcssmak.

Cling made on the -four mill at Hamel.

suddenly burned was thoroughly In.
vestigated and Harry was asked
whether he had not driven out to
Hamel with Miss Cling the morning
after the fre. This he denied utterly.
This and other questions were asked
for impeachment purposes, the state
proposing to show on rebuttal that
Harry Is not telling the truth. Har.
~ described how he had turned the
lot given him by his father, into cash,
drst by mortgages and then by dis.
posing Of the equity to Mr.. Stewart.
The proceeds had been nearly $4,000,
and this he had partially lost Mt gam.
bling while the rest he had given to
Adry In a sealed envelope and 1t was
put In the safe. He declared that the
most money he had ever lost at one
sitting was $500, ut the Twin City
Athletic club.
The Hola Up Story
was gone into in the afternoon, and
Mr.. Hall used inuendo to show that II
was Harry who had been the prime
mover In that affair. In fact he asked
him IL he had not told Adry once that
he had planned 1t, that O song was to
be the signal, but that the man who
did 1t was such q bungler that the
women had time to hide their money
and valuables. Harry denied It point
blank. He admitted that he did not
want the matter reported to the police,
but that was on Adry's account. He
had kept the watch out Of sight for
months 30 that Adry's wife might not
see 1t and thus wonder how he got It
after 1t had been stolen from him.
This closed the cross-examlnation.
Then came the states triumph.
Harold @. Stevens was put on the
stand. He swore that on the night Of
the murder lie was In company with a
friend, Mr.. Wood, and were coming
from the Lake Of the Isles to Lake
Calhoun on cross-road, and they
saw n buggy coming along at a brisk
gait from the lake toward town. He
looked In 1t closely and saw a man sit
ting in the middle Of the buggy who
had light moustacl,e and beard.
Hero was the man seen by Grindall
again. When questioned by the state
the witness stated that he saw a young
couple on Lake street, and he and his
walked on the side Of the
street where there was no sidewalk.
He knew the young man whom Miss
Brown stated was with her at that
time, but stated that he did not recOx-
nize him, although he passed very
close to the couple. The court put In
q question which made 1t appear
strange that he could see the man In
the rig and note his features when he
2fffg6Au 2fffg6Aus pot recognize one of his own
His companion stated that ne s,vuu
q trifle nearer the rig than his friend
and noticed 1t particularly. The light
from an electric lamp shone upon 1t,
but the curtains and top to the riG 10
darkened the interior that he could not
see the mans face. The picture on
his mind was that Of the light shining
on a pair Of taut lines. He could not
even see the mans hand, 1t was 80
dark in the buggy. He could not say
what kind Of q buggy 1t was nor de-
scribe the horse. He swore that Stew
ems had never stated to him after the
murder that he could see or describe
the features Of. that man who was
driving SO rapidly on that lonely road.
He corroborated the fact Of the meet
Ing of the young couple. and stated
that when he heard the testimony Of
the two young people for the defense
he thought at once that he and his
friend were the suspicious characters
referred to. .
Minneapolis, March 1.-The defense
in the Hayward murder case seems de-
termined to fasten the responsibility
for the highway robbery Of April "a,
1894, on Adrian Hayward. the confess.
ing brother of the accused. The chief
Incident Of the session OF the criminal
court this morning was the testimony
given by Fred Horst, Of the postofiice
alley livery stable, that Adry Hayward
date. nd returned 1t at 1890. This
would have given him time to take
part in the hold-up Of his brother and
Miss Cling and Miss vedder, with
whom he was driving. The defense
expects to show by other witnesses
that Adry was seen near the scene OF
the robbery that night. The defense
also devoted some time this morning
to proving that Miss Cling had actually
contemplated going into the millinery
business on Nicollet avenue, an inten-
tion which would explain her desire
to borrow money from Harry Hay
ward. The agent Of the property to
whom she talked Of renting, and two
ladies' for whom she had worked, and
to whom she had talked of her project,
gave the evidence.
A watch repairer in the employ Of
Eustis Rros.. testified as to the leaving
for repairs by Harry Hayward Of the
watch which figured in the Blixt story
Of tile tin box episode. The watch was
left on the. morning Of the day Of the
murder.

There are renewed fears that the
Jury may not be able to stand the long
strain Of the trial successfully. Juror
8. H. Dyer. the patriarcllal boat build
er, is suffering badly from varicose
veins. This morning he had to be car
ried up the stairs to the court room
and provided with cushioned rest for
his leg.
NJ. d. Wilson the liveryman who
swore that he saw Harry Hayward
driving with Miss Cling the night OF
the murder. was recalled and admitted
that he had told various people 1t was
too dark that night to see the face OF
the man. Wilson explained that he
wanted to get out Of testifying.
