THAT MYSTERIOUS THIRD MAN.
Given by Two Wituesses-De.
Tense Not ON His Trail.

Minneapolis. Feb. 21.-Edward Gold.
sail. the Chicago dental student, was
put on the stand when the Hayward
murder trial opened for his redirect
He testified that he had
usually been Harry Hayward's COM
panion when he came to Chicago to
and that he had seen him lose
as much as $1,000 at a time. He usu-
ally had plenty Of money and for this
reason Goodsell was not surprised to
see him with 5000 when there in
November. Asked on cross-examina-
tion If he had ever seen Harry lose
at % Jackson street, Chicago, he said
no. it was at Wabash avenue resort
that he lost.
Frank Erhardt, who was summoned
by his brother when the body was
found, gave evidence which seemed to
fnlpeach the evidence OF Blixt in one
particular. He swore that he had
found In the dirt near where the body
lay heel mark and then a toe mark
of lady's shoe. There was also the
trace Of where the foot had dragged
to where the body lay. This evidence
went to show that Miss Ging's body
was pushed out of the buggy feet first
instead of head first, as the murderer
testified. OF course this would over
throw the theory that the fracture Of
the skull and the confusion were
caused by the fall from the buggy. and
would help to impeach the testimony
Of Blixt.
George Grindan was an important
witness for the defense. He was
on First avenue north, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets at z
o'clock or thereabouts on Dec. 3, the
night of the murder. Grindall had an
with young woman ut
the point namel. and was waiting
there for her. Standing Il short way
from him vas q man. like that man
there" said the witness. pointing to
Attorney Sweetser. Grindall saw Miss
Cling drive up. The man he had seen
waiting there entel ed the buggy with
her and they drove away. This point
is about block from the West hotel,
whence Miss Cling started on her fate
full ride. The description given by
Grindall Of the man who joined her
does not ut all fit Harry Hayward.
There was
A WOrdy Quarrel
between the lawyers over Grindall's
testimony. The state had shown in
the tion that the witness
character was not above reprOach, and
then in the redirect examination Mr..
Erwin attempted to show that the wit
ness had been bounded and prosecuted
by the police to get him to change his
testimony. These questions were stead
lily ruled out by the court as improper,
and finally the court found it necessary
to reprove Mr.. Erwin for his persistent
attempts to get the matter before the
jury.
IF the court pleases," said Erwin in
Il high key, II want to show the meth
DDS that have been used by persons on
the other side of manufacturing aud
suppressing evidence"
Turning to County Attorney Nye,
he said: I'm going to hunt you out
and go through this thing"
Nye half-rose In his chair, his face
as white as ashes, and glared at the
tall attorney for the defense.
"I'll follow you," he hissed. ito the
ends of the earth. Don't talk to me Of
manufacturing evidence. I'll show
in this case"
81 hope you WILL" shouted Erwin,
and Judge Smith was forced to inter-
rupt the colloquy, the participants in
which had assumed very threatening
attitudes. But the questions We're
excluded. Grindall's evil
dence was somewhat shaken in the
cross examination.
The elusive third man" whom the
defense has been so earnestly chasing
thus bobs up again in Grindalfs evil
dence, but in different guise from the
descriptions of him limited at hereto,
fore in the deferse's evidence.
Worked by an Attorney.
George Grindall resumed the stand
and said that efforts had been made
to corrupt his testimony by an at
torney. Charles Ebert. Ebert, he says,
described to him what he must say on
the stand. trying to have short man
substituted for a rather important tall
man. Ebert had been representing
himself as one of Erwin's men. The
witness said he did not find out until
last Saturday that Ebert was working
for the states side Of the case. Then,
he declares, he allowed him to 20 on.
Last night. for the first time, he in
formed MIR. Erwin of Ebert's opera
tions.
Julia L. Walker of ST. Paul testified
to having seen Miss Cling several times
who wore an iron gray moustache.
Here is the third man again. The de.
scription given by this witness does
not tally with either that Of Wilson
or Grindall. The defense is now on the
trail of the third man.
Mrs. Abbie Lowell. wife of ST.
Paul police captain. was with Mrs.
Walker at one time and she corrobor-
ated her friend. Mr.. Nye tried to
shake the witnesses testimony. but
was unable to by close examination.
Lillian Burch, girl fifteen years Of
age, testified to hearing two shots at
Lake Calhoun the night of the murder
while she was skating. Gertie Brown,
years of age. heard the same
shots while she was skating. appar-
emily near the ice house. Shortly after
8 o'clock she started to go home with
her escort by way of Lake street and
she saw two men with long coats and
caps come from the direction Of the
Ice houses pass in front Of them and
stop on the other side Of the street.
She thought they acted queerly. but
could not describe why she thought so.
"Hnng Him! Hang Him."
After the adjournment there was an
immense crowd waiting outside the
court room. to see Harry taken to the
jail. They waited until the prisoner

there was demonstration. After he
had passed fourth street on his way
to the Jail the cry went up from the
top Of a lumber wagon, in hoarse
voice:
"Hans him! Hang himr' The crowd
had only been waiting for the cue,
and from all sides. from hundreds of
throats, the cry went up: "Hang him!
Hang him." The prisoner looked over
his shoulder at the crowd and smiled
with that peculiar sneer which he
knows SO well how to assume. The
yell had not phased him, and he went
