sons llad evidently had great effect on
Adry nnd had made his night slcoplcss.
Erwin hegan his questioning roughly
and asked Adry about tho trouble thore
was botwocn him aud hia father and
Harry.
With regard to tho charge that ho had
cmbezzled money from his father. Adry
admitted that ho had been charged with
doing so by both Harry and his fathor.
Adry claimed that tho books wero
straight and tha, Harry had the missing
money.
Mr. Erwin asked number OF 1ucS.
tions which wero ruled out by tho
court. Ono impeNching question which
was allowed was this:
"Sow, you told US yc,terday that
when you were in jail Harry said /:
They ara pressing Blixt rather close. "
~ don't know whethcr l snid that or
Harry did. We wcrc both oi us read. L.
ing the papers. Then Harry said: Pm
not afraid about his sticking. What |
am afraid ot ia'-tapping mo ou tho
shoulder-'what you may say"
snow. don't yOu know that the pa.
pers had nothing in them about Blixt
that day?"
81 don't know anything about 1t.
know We read it."
| "Did you not say In tho Office to your
father. on October I. 'pve got to havo
money some way. II Idon't get 1t, I'll
rob street car or hold up Il train or do
something. | know scheme to fix
Harry and IN do it, SEQ il DON'T"
~ did not" said Adry.
snow, why did you 60 to Stewart with
this?"
~ thought he was friend. Father
would not listen to me. Harry said that
he could send mo to Saltwater. He
and father had the money aud thov
could send me to Saltwater any time
they wanted to. l told Harry that
could send him. Father wanted to
know what | meant by that. told
him could, Just tho same. went 10
Elder Stewart that same day and told
him all about il.
Hadn't your father had trouble with
ELDER Stewart?"
well, he had had some trouble, for
| know father had not been doing the
elders business for about throe months.
He had gone the.e right along. how
ever. and they were on reasonably good
terms"
snow why did you 90 to him when
| you know he WAS an enemy"
"tio was not an enemy; he was a
friend. | had known him for twenty.
five years"
"Did you wear the same shoes upon
the night OF tho murder that you have
on uow?"
Yes. sir, think did. l had two
pairs OF tan-colorcd SHOES down stairs
that were more. pointed 1thanrthe,c,'' y
said Adry. v s,.1ss.-
Very well, 1 offer the shoes. You
need not take them OF" said Erwin.
Adry held the shoe up ior the Jury to
| look at.
Erwin then asked Adry il ho had
gone out to kenwood boulevard with
Biixt II he had gone out with Blixt to
q place beyond Lake Calhoun aud Sc.
lected the place whore Miss Cling was to
be murdered, and whether he had not
said to BliSt. Frank will project you
there il there is any trouble"
| Adry denied ever knowing Blixt to
any extent and had not walked block
on the street with him. These ques.
,ions on the part OF the defense indicate
a possible purpose OF setting up that
it was Adry and not Harry who con.
spired to commit tho murder with
Blix.. and tha, tho much talked .oi
pointed shoe tracks at the scene of the
murder were made by Adry.
| Tho cross-examinniion OF Adry Hay.
ward waa concluded little later. lie
declared that he had received no prom.
ise OF protection from the state and that
no had told his story upon the advice OF
Elder Stewart, who was his friend and
his attorney. He had elected to stay in
Jail most Of the time since the arrost of
| Harry upon Stewards advice aud to
savc himself annoyance from reporters
and others. lie had not been under
Grrcst, but could come and 20 freely if
he wanted TO. He had no feeling
against his brother but what he was
daily overcoming. He pitied him and
would do anything to help him out OF
his trouble. This last answer was
stricken out.
John Patton aud F. Z. Dodge, insur.
anco agents. testified TO congregations
they had with Harry about insurance
on a ladys lifc. and how such policies
could be assigned to him rs security for
| u loan.
Tho stato has presented all its strong
testimony and expects 10 be com petely
through by noon tomorrow. In tho
afternoon tho delense will present its
side, and then for tho frat timo tho
public will know just which one of the
limos OF defense has been decided upon.
The state has fulfilled tho promise
made by Mr.. Hall in the opening, and
has proved on tho stand all that 1t out
lined to tho jury.
During tho afternoon several iifo In.
suranco agents testified to conversations
which Harry Hayward had with ,hem
| in regard TO the issuance OF policies.
When Gilbert told how no had mot
Harry in jcwolry store and had asked
Hurry why no did not lot him write Il
poicy spoken OF some timo before,
Harry had told him that ho did not
want any insurance. and thcn told him
| that hG wGs about to have n policy as
signed to him. Following up tho talk,
Harry asked him il companies paid in
caaos OF murder. lie wanted to know if
n company would pay il n person was
burned in u building and tho remains
