UNFOLDEO BY EUSTlS.
Ex-MayoP of Minneapolis Tells
an Entertaining Story
on the Stand.
TELL TALE TELEGRAMS.
Miss Cling Was in the Habit OF
Stalking Handsome
Harry.
MONEY FOR FARO CHIPS.
Attempt to Be Made to Prove
Adry Hayward In
sane.
MONEY FOR FARO CHIPS.

With the week that has just closed
the criminal annals of the world
have received an addition that is re-
markable. The mystery surround
ing the murder of poor Catherine
Cling is being cleared away. There
are no words strong enough to depict
the horror OF the tragedy that is
being unfolded in all its details in
the Hennepin county criminal court.
1t will take a place in the records Of
crime that will stand out for ages
as one of the most terrible examples
of human depravity that can be con-
ceived. Probably never again will
a story be told such as that which
fell from the lips of Claus Blixt, the
cold-bIooded. self-confessed mur-
derer. 1t was the feature of the
weeks proceedings, and was one
which sent a shudder through the
community.
In the light of BliXt's confession,
Harry Hayward is a doomed man.
Unshaken. as the confession
stands after long hours of the skill
full crOss-examination conducted by
Mr.. Erwin, supported and strength
eued in many material points by
numerous witnesses produced by the
prosecution. the chances of the ac-
cused are desperate.
That the defense is beginning to
recognize this fact cannot be denied.
but in spite Of all, Harry Hayward
maintains that wonderful nerve
which has characterized his actions
from the moment suspicion first
fastened upon him.
Ex-MayOr Eustis was on the stand
yesterday, and told of Hayward S
actions Immediately subsequent to
the murder. His evidence will be
found Interesting reading for those
who wish to know what occurred
during the fifteen hours that Hay
ward was in the sweat box"
The states case is drawing to a
close. Adry Hayward will take the
stand tomorrow, and sensational de-
velOpments may be expected. On
his evidence everything depends. It
is all but certain that the defense
viii try to prove the elder brother
insane. and it is probable that an
army of insanity experts will he
present to watch for symptoms of
the alleged family taint while he is
on the stand.
Yesterdays proceedings were con-
cluded at noon. and an adjournment
was taken until Monday morning at
10 o'clock.

fired again and again. the lire flew into
the rigging near enough for either of
the men to have reached it had it gone
SO near in the first trial. But neither of
the two men stirred this time. Capt.
Baker could see their eyes turned
toward the shore, but their blackened
faces were eXrressionless.
The last line was fired about midday,
and from that time until dark the life

backed away She was evidently feel

time. The lite savers think she can
reach the wreck. If she waits until
high tide it is thought the Merritt boat
can run close to the wreck.

TRAFFIC DEMoRALIzED
On Maryland Roads-AnnapoIis
Snowbound.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 9.-RaiIroad trains
continue demoralized as to time, and the
postoffice here is full of mail matter
awaiting dispatch. The Baltimore and
Lehigh has not had train through
since the storm began. The Western
Maryland is also blocked. Snowdrifts

places is thus kept out of town, sending
up prices of ali commodities.
Annapolis, the capital of Maryland,

graphs that two passenger coaches and
nine engines are fast in the snow drifts

left Cumberland yesterday afternoon
for ElkinS became disabled and the pas
sengers were brought back. Four en-

train, could not bulge it, and four more

fast. The damage done in the Chesa-
peake bay and its tributaries by the
storm is very great. North Point and
Kent island shore are srrewn with
wrecked oyster boats and loss of life is
feared. The heavy snow ana wind and
the almost unprecedented formation of
ice cut off from all succor the smaller
craft caught IN the blizzard, and
their crews, unprOylded with fuel and
food, are suffering many hardships.

NEW BLIZZARD HAS SET IN,
Tying Up Railways Far More
Thoroughly Than in the
First Storm.
NEWS OF MANY FATALITIES
Financial Loss to the Soutn
From the Cold Wave
Immense.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-New YORK
today was practically ice-bound.
The bay from the Narrows to Sandy
Hook is almost a solid field OF ice.
The upper bay would be as bad We're
it not that a number of tugs are at
work breaking the ice to permit
the passing of crafts and small
steamers plying in the north and
East rivers. Tugs are constantly at
work clearing away for the Staten
island ferry boats. Two tugs were
at work all day breaking the ice in
the Erie basin. Two floats of the
Lehigh Valley were stalled in the
East river for over an hour, and a
tug that went to their assistance was
also stopped by the ice. The Rus
sian steamer Regulus, which left
Boston Thursday for this city, got
stalled at City island, and four tugs
were required to bring her 10 the
Atlantic docks in Brooklyn. The
steamer Salamanca, from Venezu-
asphalt, was ice-bound off Staten
island and forced to remain there.
The ship Frankiston, from China, on
her way to Brooklyn, had to be
towed to Staten island, where she
anchored for the night.
The tides are so extremely low
that pilots will hesitate to bring
vessel of large draught into port
unless they chance to meet a late
flood tide when crossing the bar at
Sandy Hook The tide was so low
during the past twenty-four hours
that it left large shoal between
Hoffman and Swinburn islands
where there is usually water enough
to float craft of ordinary draught at
high water.
The passenger list on all outgoing
steamers now is very small, the
Aurania having only fifty cabin pas
sengers booked for Liverpool, and
the Patria, for Hamburg, only twen-
ty. Both the Patria and Aurania put
to sea late in the afternoon, but the
Circassia will not sail until next
Wednesday, although scheduled to
sail today.
The Manitoba, of the Atlantic
Transport line, is now three days
overdue in this port, but no fears
are entertained yet that she has been
lost.
Reports from the interior of the
state tell Of the continuance of the
great storm. Trains on the Central
Hudson are from five to twenty-four
hours late. The Duanesburg and
Mechanicsville branch of the Della
ware & Hudson railway has been
entirely abandoned, and no efforts
will be made to open them until the
storm abates. The Geneseo branch
of the Erie is blockaded, the train
which left GeneSeO at 4:32 this morn
ing being blocked in a snow-drift
two miles north
No mails have been received at
Geneseo since yesterday morning.
The Port Jarvis & Monticello rail-
road and its branches are so badly
blocked by snow that they can
hardly be opened before next week.
The main line of the Erie west of
Middletown is entirely closed, no
through trains having passed since
Thursday night. At Watertown, two
feet of snow has fallen. All trains
on the Rome, Watertown & Og-
densburg are abandoned.

MOUNTAIN OF SNOW.
All Attempts to Move Trains in
the adirontiacks Given I'm,

the AdirOnuacks Given Up.
SARANAC LAKE, n. Y, Feb. 9.-Not
since the great blizzard of 1888 has the
Adirondack region been so completely
showed under. Yesterday the railroads
abandoned the idea of running trains,
and several freight and passenger
trains Oh the Chateaugay railway, the
Adirondack IL st. Lawrence and the
Northern Adirondack were stalled for
hours by the tremendous bank of snow.
SnOwplows pushed by two or three en-
gines were without effect, and were
themselves stalled and unable to move
one way or the other. The situation
for time was serious. and but for the
, hundreds of men who were sent to the
scenes of the delay to dig out the trains
much suffering among passengers might
have enSued. After great deal OF ardu-
Gus labor the trains were SboYeled out.
They are arriving tonight at their vari-
Gus destinations ten hours TO two days
late. Saranac lake, with three railroads,
has been almost entirely cut off from
outside communication for three days,
and scores of winter tourists and COM
mercial men have been unable 10 get
away from town.
During the height of the storm the
mercury went down to 40 below
zero, aud for five days it was not
above the cipher. Thursday night
passengers arrived tonight.

nation, and the county attorney turned
to deputy and said:

be one branch OF his defense, that IN

Mr.. Erwin,
Il would frankly state to the court
that we desire TO have experts here at

The Court-Did you understand that
he would be hers?
MIR. Erwn-We understood possibly
he might be called. l will state frankly
that the experts are not here, but will
be here Monday morning.
The Court-If they are here now you
would save any time.
Mr.. Erwin-We would not complete
even the direct examination.
The court: You have the report OF
the testimony in the case, and whatever
testimony is taken this forenoon you
could hand over to the experts, and
they would know just as much about it
after they read it dis if they were here
and heard it.
MI Erwin: 1t is his manner OIL the
stand; it is not the testimony itself.
The testimony would have to be read
to them and description made of the
manner.
