MISS GINGS lITRDER
Adry Hayward's Story of the
Conspiracy Repeated,
NO CHANGE IN HIS TESTIMONY.

The Attorneys for the Defense May At
tempt to Prove That Adry Himself Is
the One who Employed BIixt to Com
NIT the Crime.
MINNEAPOLIs, Jan. 24-The crowd at
the Hayward trial yesterday was not so
large as on Tuesday, but a shivering mass
of humanity waited outside the big doors
before admission was secured.
The plan of defense is gradually becom-
ing apparent No one believes that an at
tempt will be made to prove Harry Hay
ward insane but, instead, the opinion
now prevails that the effort will be to
prove Adry Hayward guilty of the very
crime with which in his confession he has
charged his brother.
The defense. it is believed, will attempt
to show that Blixt is insane, and tha-
while his confessions are true statemen
of fact as to the way in which the erin
was committed, the man who engag'
him to do this work was Adry, and nC
Harry Hayward
The attorneys in the case, after the day
proceedings were over, held a long exam

made a demand on the prosecution to be
allowed to take Adrys statement in full,
and the demand was acceded to.
Adry seemed more nervous than ever dur
ing the ordeal and apparently now realizes
with a greater force than ever before that
on his word hangs the fate of the younger
brother. The mans face was pale as he
began to speak Of Harrys influence over
him and the various ways in which that
inlience had been exercised. He went on
to enumerate certain threats that had been
made against his own safety by Harry,
and declared that he had been forced into

murder by actual fear of personal vio-
lence, as well us by an influence of will
that he could not define.
Becoming more voluble as he proceeded
the informer told how Harry had ap-
preached him on the subject of the kill
ing, and how he had tried to shake his
brothers determination without avail.
With the utmost detail Adry told how he
labored with Harry to give up the idea of
murder, using ut first such arguments as
would have been likely to influence a man
with an atom of humanity, and lastly ap-
pealing to his sense of fear. Adry pointed
out that escape from the results of such a
crime would be almost impossible and
that the perpetrators would certainly be
hanged All this was without effect on
his brother, who called Adry a cur and re-
marked that he had no sand at all.
Then came the story of Adry's visit tC

was told, and his own misery that he had

the restatcment of his connection with the
