MINNEAPOLIS, March 4-"You're a
liar" The words came out between the
clenched teeth of Harry Hayward, on
trial for the murder of Catherine Cling.
They betrayed the first evidence of real
feeling on the part OF the accused man
which he has let slip during the six
weeks the trial has been in progress. He
flushed crimson as he said them, and
though they were not spoken loudly,
they were audible at the reporters table
and presumably in the jury box. George
W. jerks, a well-known broker, was the
witness whose testimony which
had wrung that invo, untary de-
nunciation from the accused. Mr.. jerks
evidence was easily the most important
so far given in rebuttal, for it knocked
big hole in the careful alibi put in by
the defense. jerks testified that he took
a car for the city mt the junction on Low

the murder. As the Car reached Lor-
ring Park, block east of kenwook
boulevard he saw a man coming out on
to the avenue. He supposed the man
wanted to catch the car and called the
conductors attention to the fact. The
conductor stopped the car, whereupon the
man who was running stopped also, and
it became evident that he was not after
the car.

care you able to identify that man?'
asked Mr.. Hall
Il believe am" was the answer.
''It was Harry Hayward"
"You are liar" exclaimed Harry, as
the blood mounted his temples. He was
quick to see the tremendous Importance
To him of this evidence. In the fi.st
place this evidence fitted in exactly with
the evidence OF Liveryman Wilson that
he had seen Harry Hayward, driving out
kenward boulevard with Miss Cling that
night shortly after 7:l0. If Harry had

avenue at just about the time Mr.. jerks
claims to have seen him. "hc evidence

Hlrry's assertion that he was in the dir
ingroom until 1:2s. This assertion of his
is not supported by any of those who were

vital Importance OF jerks evidence was

Harry Hayward whom he had seen run
ming behind the car.
Grindalrs Evidence Discredited.
The evidence of Grindall, the man who
Claims To have seen the "third man" get
into the buggy with Miss Cling, was fur
ther discredited by the evidence of two
| witnesses who had been at or near the
spot and saw nothing of Grindall or the
occurrence he described. ID. A. Near
thur, an advertising solicitor, discredited
another part of Harry's evidence by
swearing that he saw him walking up
| the street with his friend, Waterman,
shortly before on the night OF the muir
der. There is a possibility that the clos
ing arguments will have to be
postponed. The condition of Sam
uel Ii. Dyer, the aged juror,
is very serious. His illness is due largely
| to varicose veins and his condition be-
came more aggravated day by day. DIR.

patient and has adopted a new line of
| treatment. Mr. Dyer hau 10 De carried
out in an armchair. A professional Nurse
has been secured. 1t is hoped that with
careful nursing Mr. Dyer may BE- fit TO
come into court on Monday morning.
| Sensation in Court.
There was 4 sensational scene in court
| after the adjournment until Monday had
been ordered. 1t was between Harry and
his brother Adry. Harry was violently
angry at Adry and swore at him, saying,
You -, may hang, but before l quit,
will send you To saltwater. l know
| enough about you to give you twenty
four years there and I'll do it, too, before
l quit. l am on earth yet Here" he
added, turning to Erwin, Il want to swear
out warrant for this man"
"No, you DON'T" said Erwin, striving to
quit his client.
Il don't wish you any harm," said
Adry- I'D rather see you go out of this
court a free man." and the brother went
away with his deputy. Harry then de-
clared to the reporters that he knew
lof numerous fires Adry had set and
thereby secured the insurance. He said
he would prove what he said and send
Adry TO the penitentiary before he was
hung.
