MINNEAPoL1s, Feb. l2-"Look him
IN the eye, Harry, look him in the eye. "
The words came in an excited whisper
from the knot of people around the
prisoner and were spoken by the mother
of Harry Hayward during the most ex.
citing moment of his present trial for
the murder of Miss Cling.
Never had there been such a crowd.
The courtroom was packed to suffoca.
tion and everything was repressed,
There was an air almost of terror in the
atmosphere the faces of that vast con.
course of people bore expressions as If
their minds were laboring under great
mental disturbance. Gradually from
the time that W. w. Erwin had taken
Adry Hayward for oross.examination
this feeling had been growing. 1t
reached its height when Mr.. Erwin
asked Adry to explain how his brother
had acted when he told him he would
hang if he persisted in following out
his scheme.
Adry explained how his brother had
turned black in the face with passion
how he had bent toward him and passed
his fingers around his neck and over his
head In order to explain it more fully
and make the witness appear the more
ridiculous before the experts, Mr. Erwin
asked him to illustrate the action The
witness stepped easily from his chair to
the table at which Mr.. Erwin and the
prisoner sat. He went over the story
and explained his brothers actions AS
he bent over his face was only few
feet from that of his brother and facing
him.
Harry sat somewat limp in his chair,
leaning back, the scene about him much
like the corner of ring in which pu.
gilistic champion had received a blow
Every eye in that room was bent upon
the scene. Every form was half raised
from its seat There was rustic of ex.
citement about Harry.
Look him in the eye, Harry, look him
in the eye," cried the mother.
Harry did not move. His mother
shook him and he reused himself, and
leaning far over the table toward his
brother, his head on his hands, tried to
catch his brothers eye. Adry was talk.
ing so rapidly and exoitedly that he did
not see him, and Harry could not catch
his glance. He slid back in his chair
and looked at his mother, as if to say
that he was not equal to it. If that eye
could have controlled the elder brother
in the past it had grown powerless.
The Cross.eXamination of Adry was
virulent and exhaustive. At times Adry
grew vexed and flung retorts at the at.
torney, at no time, however, showing
himself lacking mentally. He did show
some animus against Harry however,
at various times, but in all the long ex.
animation he did not contradict his
original story.
The most dramatic and affecting
scene occurred when the crowd began
to push toward the doors. Adry Hay.
ward pushed his way to his mother
side, Mrs. Hayward turned and the
tears sprung to her eyes as she leaned
forward into Adry's arms. Tenderly
the son kissed his mother, who sobbed
out, "Adry, Adry, how could you? How
could you do it?' referring to the testi.
mony he had just placed on record
against his brothers life.
Adry was visibly affected, and placing
his hand to his eyes, his one arm en-.
circling his mothers form, replied: II
had to, mother it was my duty"
Then placing his hand caressingly
upon her shoulder, he endeavored to
comfort her Harry, who had stood by
during this affecting scene, stepped
forward and pushed Adry's hand from
the mothers shoulder, exclaiming:
Don't, Adry: Can't you see you are
exciting her!'
Adry fell back, and Mrs. Hayward
stood sobbing for time in Harry's
arms. Then her sister advanced and led
her from the room.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken with the Hayward jury, In ad.
dition to the three deputy sheriffs who
are always on duty with the jury, two
city policemen have been detailed as an
extra guard. Whenever the jury moves
from one place to another, threatening
crowd gathers, and cries Of Hang him,
hang him." are heard on all sides.
Adry Hayward's testimony was sub.
stantially the same as he gave to the
coroner at the time of Harry's arrest,
detailing Harry's attempt to get him to
assist in the murder Of Miss Cling,
