HAYWARD'S DEFENSE.
GREEN GOODS MEN MURDERED
MISS GING.
At Least, That is What He VIII En-
deavor to PrOve-Dramatic Scenes
in and Out of Court.

Minneapolis, Feb. I'm the Hayward
murder trial today Hans Barlow testified
that he was in the basement of the Ozark
f1ats when BliXt cut the '"T'' rail in two
for Harry Hayward. He helped Blixt to
cut the "IV' rail and heard Hayward
scold BliXt for cutting it instead CT
simply bending it. On cross-examinatiOn
he admitted that he had served a term
IN the Workhouse.
BIixt is Firm.
Claus Blixt was again put on the stand
and Mr.. Erwin after long questioning as
10 details Of his story, sprang a sensa-
ton He asked BliXt if he had not, on
November 2, gone TO the Arnold hotel on
Central avenue with two other men and
rented some rooms,
That's the biggest lie l ever heard -
exclaimed BliXt.
Mr.. Erwin questioned him closely. but
Blixt professed entire ignorance about
the alleged occurrence. The hotel register
was INTRODUCED in evidence and Erwin
asked Blixt If the signature Of "Arne W.
/ Teller, Wally City," was not written by
; him. Bli1t denied utterly that he had
/ ever seen the register. These questions
point to a theory of the defense that the
murder was the work Of a gang of green
goods men and that Hayward had moth
ing to DO with it.
| The sensational episode of the day came
after court had adjourned this morning.
) County Attorney Nye approached Smith
asserted point blank that the entire story
was a fabrication and he knew all about
how it had been put up.
DO YOU know anything about it, Nye"
asked Smith. I deny that l have had
anything TO do with it"
VIII Go to ts,e bottom.
Nov, mark you, John Day Smith,
and the counsel for the state shook his
finger threateningly in the face Of the
attorney, Il know you and believe you
9 10,
sure as you live, this thing is going &c
be exposed. l will drive every pin in this
thing right straight to the bottom, tc
show Just how this thing was done, ant
you can depend upon it,
Nyes face was as white as the wall
and it was patent that he had been en-
ragged by the tactics of the defense.
The county attorney asserted strongly
that the story being put in to show colIu
, sion on BliXt's part with the green goods
people was an invention and disgrace
ful attempt to defeat justice.
Hayward was jubilant over the turn O.
affairs.
81 am glad to see," said he chat tn
truth is beginning to come OUT
There was an episode in the court room
this afternoon when Harry Hayward, TO
the first time since his arrest, saw hi
brother Adry, who had confessed. 1t wa
strange sight.
BROTHERS Shake Hnnds.
Harry looked full in Adry's face wit
a smile, and as if in obedience to tn
summons Adry rose half reluctantly an
the hands of the two brothers. pitte
against each other in the struggle for
; life, met in clasp. That was all. Harr
took his seat apparently unmoved.
Adry sat down again and spoke to tn
deputy. A moment later the trial com
menced again.
Mr. Erwin concluded his cross-examir
alton this afternoon. He outlined the dc
fensa in the questions asked BliXt whic
showed that the defense will try an
fasten the crime on a gang OF gree
goods dealers, who wanted Miss Cling OF
