MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 12.-Adry
Hayward, brother of the man accused
of the murder of Catherine Cling, was
in court this forenoon. He main
tanned mask Of smiles and joviality,
and when Harry was brought in re-
fused to recognize him. DIR. Thad-
deus Z. Hayward, the third brother
was present, and was visibly more
cordial to Harry than to Adry. It is
understood that he will 90 on the
stand and swear that Adry is mental
ly incapable, and, in fact, insane.
Adry Hayward was called to the
stand. Harry told him last summer
and fall he was engaged in lending
money on diamonds.
Harry, the witness went on, also
told him that he gambled some. He
had told him of having loaned money
to Miss Cling, and having gambled
with her money. About the middle
OF September he asked me il want
ed to make good money. l said yes,
and he said could get about SO, OG0 if
was not too particular. He asked
me il was willing to kill woman
for $1,000. l said l was not will
ing to kill anybody. He said it
was easy to do it and nobody
would be suspicious of me, as they
only looked up a set of criminals who
had been convicted of crimes before.
After that he said he knew a hack
man that would do anything for him.
He said it would be easy to kill her
in a hack and, if necessary, the hack
man could be killed too. After that
he suggested getting her drowned in
lake, but that looked too much like
suicide and he gave it Up. Then he
wondered how she would fall if he
took her riding IN the buggy and they
should strike boulder, whether she
would fall in or out. After that he
talked about getting her tangled up
in the lines and having the horse run
away"
Adry then told how, on the morn
ing of November 6, Harry had come
to his fiat with package of money
and told him about Blixt. He also
told about the Catherine Cling insur-
ance policy and her notes for money.
Adry went on as follows: FRIDAY
Harry came into the office and asked
me If it was not time to sacrifice the
dressmaker. said. Harry, you're not
going to kill the dressmaker.' He said,
Yes, we are. She'll have to be the
victim this time. l said, Harry,
you must not do it. It's awful
He replied, She's got to go this
time said, Harry, you must not do
this. If you don't quit this idea I'll
report YOU His hands were clutch
ing as / said that, and he looked
wild. am not naturally afraid
of anybody, but / was afraid of him
then. backed slowly up to where
my coat and hat were hanging and
was just making for the door when
Harry came after me. told him
was going for walk until he cooled
off. went out to my rooms and got
my revolver and finally went back to
the Office. Harry was still there, but
was cooler | repeated to Harry that
he must not think of such thing.
He said it was nothing to kill people.
He had caused the death of three per-
sons. He said that he had killed
two persons in the East and
that he had killed a third,
but he stopped there and would say
nothing more. He also said he had
caused fire in the East where the
loss was $3.50, 0OO He said he got So
for doing it. He said there was moth
ing in haunting people. had told
him that if he killed her she would
haunt him. He said, People may
dream of such things, but if you had
any nerve you would go out and kill
somebody. 1t don't make any differ
ence who, so you kill someone. Kill
a cripple. It's better for them to die
than to live, anyway. Go out and kill
someone and l will give you $780,"
Adry then told again of Harry's adj
vice to him on two occasions to go to
the theater so as to be able to prove
an alibi and then told how Harry had
walked him up and declared that the
Cling woman had been murdered.
After court had adjourned the
mother of the two men put an arm
about the neck of each and attempted
to draw them together, the tears
streaming down her scanned face.
But Adry would not be thus
reconciled. He tore himself away
from his mother and went out of the
court room, while the deputy put the
handouts on Harry and led him back
to the Jail.
