HAYWARD ON 7HE STAND.
As Horsemsn Would Say Of Such a
Performance, the
Minneapolis Murder Platter Went Up
in the Air.
His Evidence was Very Good Till
He Game to Describe the Events
Of the Fatal Day, and then He
Showed what He is Made OF.
More Indications OF Insanity
than Brother Adry Displayed.

| These words explain the aspect Of Har-
ry Hayward on the stand this after
noon. In the morning when he was an
swering preliminary questions in re-
gard TO mis- life, his gambling habits,
etc., he was concise, perfectly at ease,
| quick to answer and made an ideal wit
ness. In the afternoon. when his at
torney began to lead him into the de-
! tails OF the circumstances attending the
tragedy, he went "up in the air, " as q
horseman would say and made bad
| impression.
10 fact Hayward made sucn a poor
! job Of telling his own story that the
| court suggested that it would be better
TO get on with the evidence aud Tot eI
plain motives and beliefs so much.
In regard to the insanity theory, re-
gardng Adry, II an expert were to con
test the two, so far as appearances on
the stand were concerned, Harry would
did not know
WHAT TO DO WITH HIS HANDS.
At one time they would be adjusting
his collar, at another caressng his
knees, at another helping himself to
move about In his chair. Az times In
his rambles of evidence, his voice
would sink away until IL was hardly
audible, aud once be had been cautioned
10 speak so that the jury could hear
him. Hardly e person 10 that vast
crowd hearing him believed what he
said, judging by his manner Of telling
the story.
As a whole, from the testimony given
by the witness, ne has not made any
points for himself, and his Appearance
has told against him. His explanations
and opinions were all allowed 10 go IN
without comment. ore queer point was
that while Harry insisted that be never
loaned Miss Cling the 81, 500, but only
gave it to her TO keep for him until he
demanded ia, her note 20 him refars TO
it as loan. The most interesting
part OF his evidence 10 the audience
was when be came TO that part Of the
testimony which brought TO the day Of
the murder.
HE WAS MORE HALTING,
more uncertain than ever at this point.
He led up 10 il by descr bing the scene
OF the signing Of the 81, 600 note in tho
Oneida block, and after he was all
through his evidence was mixture OF
| the testimony Of the elevator boy and
Of Blixt He only impeached Blixt IN
saying that it was not pre-arranged that
Bnxt should come there at that time and
bis not telling BliXt TO say he saw many
large bills. The elevator man had said
| Harry had the bills iD an envelope.
| Blixt said they were in a roll and Harry
said they were on the table out of the
envelopes, and that Bixt must have
seen that they were large bills. Harry
caused laugh by stating that he made
specially Of Sl00 bills.
Harry swore that the night Of the
urder be arrived at the Ozark al 6:45
o'clock. Then he told OF doing an in
credible nun Der of things before 7:22,
the time be came out from supper and
went to his fiat.
In speaking Of the testimony OF Ed
ward Murphy, who sw0re that Harry
bowed very low to him, be said that be
did not bow TO Murphy, but 10 gentle
man behind him. lie thought Mr..
Murphy
BENEATH HIS NOTICE,
as he was a man who hangs about the
entrance to pose for people.
In regard 70 the bottle Of whisky, ne
stated that be often bought the liquor
for Miss Cling, and be purchased that
bottle Saturday and carried II around
in his pocket all day, taking it to his
oath room. He thought that II the at
torneys would look there they would
fnd it on shelf.
The prisoners evidence was hardly
begun when court adjourned, and 1t
will be continued Monday, adjournment
having been taken 10 that time.
With his arms folded aud a sat ex-
uression On his face Harry Hayward
took the stand TO battle tor his own
life.
He said in answer 10 the usual pre-
ltminary questions that he was born 10
Macoupin county, H., twenty-niue
years ago, aud lived 10 Minneapolis for
twenty-fVe years. He then in general
terms denied thetruth OF the evidence
OF those who had testified against him.
Now, you have heard Adry say that
he had never seen Miss Cling, Did ne
ever see her?"
"He did. II was on narrow, dark
road between Ncollet avenue and Lake
Calhoun. He could not see her very
well. but be could feel Of her all right"
WAS he alone with her?"
"He was not"
"Who was with him?'
II would rather not tell unless It's
necessary. The young lady was here

"Miss Vedder. They were both with
him"
