CATHERINE orNe.
Makes u Bad Inapressio.. Not n Per-
son In Court Believing What No

Rope He Wants.
MrNNEAroLrst MINI, Feb. n

Nervous. contradictory. uncertain,
garrulous. rambling and explanatory.
These words explain the aspect OF Har-
ry Hayward on the stand this after
noon. In the morning, when lie was
answering preliminary questions 1 re-
gard to his life. habits, gambling, etc,
he was concise. perfectly at ease. and
quick to answer, In the afternoon.
when his attorney began 10 lead him
into the details OF the circumstances at
tending the tragedy, he went up In
the air" and made bad impression.
In fact. he made such roor Job
of telling his own story that the count
suggested chat It would 90 better to
get on with the evidence and not ex-
plain motives and beliefs.
In regard to the Insanity theury re-
garding Adry. II an expert were to
contrast the two. SO far as ap9Nalnrces
on the stand We're concerned, Harry
would be the sufferer. He was nervous
and did not know what to 10 with
his hands. At one time they woold
be adjusting his collar. at another car
essing his knees. at another helping
him TO move about In mis- cnair. At
tl'neH In his rambles OF eviden5c his
voice would sink away un,l 1t was
hardly audible. Hardly a person IN
that vast audience who heard him
believed what he said, Judging by his
manner OF telling the story,
AZ a whole the testimony given by
the witness, he has not made any points
for himself and his appearance has told
against him. According to his story
Ia "a NalH8. An a l.. -.
Miss Cling as partner were In the
early part OF the year. and finally In
August he refused TO use her money
Tor That purpose. The witness tried TO
carry the impression TO the jury that
he suspected that she was pursuing
her gambling with others, but II was
only by innuendo. Strange 20 say, the
stats attorney made no objection, al
lowing him all The rope he wanted. HIS
explanations and opinions were allowed
| TO 30 In without comment. MIR. Nye
! liked them. They gave him latitude for
| cross-cNaminauon. one queer point was
that while Harry insisted that he never
| loaned Miss Cling the $500, but only
| gave It 10 her to keep for him until he
demanded IT. hor notes to him refer to
l IL as loan. one feature was when he
| took the long letter written 10 Miss
/ Cling by him, In which he said he want
ed her to let him have the money. In
the original appeared come very Hight
| pencil marks. He tried to explain that
he did not know they were there when
he wrote and finally said 1t did not
make any difference any way, for the
meaning was the same whether the
pencil words We're used or the one In
ink. IL he had made the marks he
thought they would have been In ink.
The most interesting part Of his evil
dence was when he came to u part of
the testimony which brought him to
the day of the murder. He was more
hating, more uncertain than ever at
this point He was led up to II by de-
scribing the scene of the signing OF the
s'0OJ note In the Oneida block. and after
he was through his evidence was n-miN-
ture OF the testimony OF the elevator
boy and OF l3liNt. He only impenched
BliNt In saying that It was not pre-ar-
ranged that BliNt should come trere at
that time, and his not telling BllNt 10
say he saw no large bills. The eleva-
tor man had said Harry had the bills
In an envelope, BliNt said they were in
a roll, and Harry said they were on the
table, out OF the envelope and that
BliNt must have seen that they We're
! large bills, Harry caused n laugh by
stating that he made speciality OF 500
| bills, He awore that tire night OF the
| murder he arrived at the Ozurd at G:45
| o'clock, Then he told OF doing an In
| credible number of things before 7:22,
| Alt lllllt lf thlnt OUT from supper anu
| won't to his Hat. In that time he was
| in his bathroom changing his clothes,
! went to the basement, went 10 see Miss
ireland. went down stairB again, and
had his supper
He left the flats after going TO see
his mother twice calling upon Miss
| ireland, talking twice with MIR. and
Mrs, Blixt on the first floor, going into
the basement and fondling the dog and
washing his hands, Then he went
down Hennepln avenue intending to
go to the rooms Of Miss Cling In the
Syndicate block. ,retrarod his steps and
went to the corner OF Henncpln and
Laurel avenues. and there he looked at
his watch and It was thirteen minutes
TO s. He stated that he went up TO
Laurel avenue, intending 10 call upon
a young lady and then remembered
that he had an engagement with Miss
Bartolson lie looked at his watch to
see if he had time TO so there and
thought he would take her to the
theatcr. He followed this up by re-
counting this trip to Mr. Bartelson's
residence and giving the time as Mr..
Bartelson had sworn to II. He was
quite sure that he was In the thenter
before the curtain wcu up.
In speaking Of the testimony OF Ed
ward Murphy. who swore that Harry
bowed very low to him. he gaid that
he did not bow 10 Mr.. Murphy, but 20
gentleman behind him. He thought
Mr., Murphy beneath his notice. as he
was a man who hangs about the en-
trance 10 pose for poole.
In regard to the bottle OF whisky he
stated that he often bought liquor for
Miss Cling, and he purchased that bot
tie Saturday and carried It around in
his pocket all day, taking It 70 his bath
room. He thought that II the attorneys
would look there they would md Il on
a shelf.
The prisoners evidence was hardly
, begun when court adjourned and II
will be continued Monday adjourn
