Insane.
COM MENT BY THE COURT

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, February n.-Adry
Hayward, the brother of the man accused
of numbering Catherine Cling, was in the
court room today fifteen minutes before the
trial began. His wife sat beside him with
traces of recent tears upon her cneeKs,
but Adry maintained a mask OF smiles and
joviality. When Harry was brought In by
the deputy the eyes Of the two brothers
met, but there was no sign of recognition
other than a smile of commisseration on
the face Of Harry.
DIR. Thadeus T. Hayward, the third
brother, was present and was visibly more
cordial to Harry than to Adry. 1t Is un-
derstood that he will go on the stand and
swear that his brother Adry Is mentally
incapable, and, in fact. insane. When ask
ed this morning whether he would be a
witness he refused to either affirm or deny
II. and when further questioned as to
whether Adry is insane he replied: IF he
is not he's been very near 1t several times
In the past

tbs was resumed at the opening of the court

da block with Harry Hayward about the
loans he had made to Miss Cling
Mr.. Erwin interposed an oo)ecuon tnat
the information had been obtained under
duress, but this was overruled, ana the
ex-mayor repeated the now familiar story.
The cross-examiration developed nothing
but objections from the state. which were
sustained and exceptions noted by the de-
fense.
Adrian Hayward was then called to the
stand and buzz of subdred interest went
around the court room. He stared thae ne

was employed in his fathers ONCE, Where
he transacted most of the loan and rental
business. Harry was not employed there,
but often came there. Harry had told MIN

in loaning money on diamonds.
Harry had also told him that he gampied
some He had told him of having loaned
with her money.
At this point Mr. Erwin arose and i'm
pressively said:
Il wish to enter an objection here. This
witness has delusion on TINS SUBJECT anu

II don't see." said the court. that he's
any more insane than some OF the attor-
neys In this case"

With that remark he sat down and the
examination proceeded

After that he said he knew a hackman
that would do anything for him. He said
it would be easy to Kill her In hack, and
If necessary the hackman could be killed,

I went with him to breakfast and he said
to say nothing of the money. as he was
supposed to be busted. He also showed
me a pawn ticket and three diamond rings.
Then he said he was through with me. and

man, however, who had nerve, an ex-police-
man named G.. A. BliXt. Then he showed
me the bills again, and / made play to
