what entrance did you go in the |
Ozark?" asked Erwin.
A. Hennepin avenue.
O. Where did you go from there? |
A. [ went right straight ahead to the
elevator got on the elevator, went !
down to the basement. as 1 always
do. think 1 got drink of water, the
ice water pail always stands there;
and went in Blixt's room: the door
was open, and Mrs. Blixt was sitting
at the sewing machine, instead of be-
ing in bed; and the rest of it, l think,
is about as they testified to. Except
about the leak of the water meter, I
don't understand that. The chances
are there will be no water running
through the building, city water. 1
used to keep track of the meter, and
notice that you can merely hear it tick
when there is any water running
through it, SO that you would notice it;
and it shows there is a leak to the
building. l asked Blixt if he ever
heard this water meter ticking or run
ming any time during the night.
Q. What cid Mrs. BliXt say to you
there, who first spoke to you about
any accident, was it down stairs? a. L
cannot say whether it was Mr.. or Mrs.
Blixt, or Anderson. 1 feel certain it
was some place there, because / know
[ got the idea that somebody on the
fifth floor was hurt. They said it was
a runaway accident. Well, l came out
and went up there.
Q. Anderson says he spoke to you
on the elevator also. A. He did; that
is, going up, but he did not the first
time, when he came down; 1 would not
have come down; L would have gone
up there.
@. He testified when you were COM
ing up afterwards he spoke to you, or
had some conversation about what
Mrs. Blixt said. A. Yes, l evidently
heard a talk Of something about it,
and he told me there was a runaway
accident. Any way, [ know | got the
impression about the horse coming
back alone. Then [ did not know who
it was at that time.
O. Did you go up stairs when you
came out to the elevator; you went up
to what floor? A. Second floor. The
AZ va
q. Who was there at the telephone?
A. Mr.. Goosman, l am sure, and some
policeman might have been. 1 remem-
Der Mr. Goosman, because I had a talk
with him. | inquired who it was. l
was getting pretty interested then; be-
cause l thought when they said some
body on the fifth floor, a lady on the
fifth floor; and they knew l knew Miss
Cling, and l had a pretty good idea
that it might be she or Miss Ireland
Q. What did Goosman say? A He
seemed to be holding something back
He said: I'VE don't know; we are
telephoning and we can't find out any
thing" Well, l quizzed him, and he
says, II will tell you, Miss Cling took
the rig out and it came back alone, but
we don't know for certain whether she
is the one that was hurt" Then he
said they thought it was a runaway
accident, and the patrol had been out
there and brought in somebody, and
they had died on the way in. That is
what he told me-
@. That is the idea you got from the
talk? A Yes
Q. What did you say? A. I don't
know what l said. 1 think that is
when got to thinking pretty fast; and
all these things that had passed be-
tween us for the last week l thought of
them then, all of them.
Q. Between you and Miss Cling? A.
Yes, sir.
@. All those things came back to
your mind? A. Yes sir; all these little
things, everything about this money
there, and about that she two or three
times before that, she had asked me for
my revolver, and putting these things
all together it struck me she had been
killed, and not an accident.
Hayward then told of his trip down
town with GooSman. He said the more
he reflected on the matter the more
convinced he became that Miss Cling
had been murdered. In explaining his
remark to Jailer McKenna that the
woman had on a blue instead of a
black dress skirt, witness said Miss
Cling was far from a dreSsy girl, and
he had seen her have on the same
skirt a hundred times.
What was the thought in your mind
when you heard the woman had been
killed." asked Erwin.
WELL" said Hayward, without be-
traying any feeling whatever, it struck
me this way: II was naturally sorry,
and if she had got back badly hurt, I
would have said to her, Well, 1 told
you So That is about the way I felt
about it. l was mad, and I thought it
was some-well, l don't know what 1
thought In some way in her reluct-
ance about telling me where the mon
ey was, and such things as that, it
looked to me that she was in with
somebody else; I took it she was in
gambling with some one else; and
about the time before, take Saturday
and before, and Miss Ireland never
would tell me where she was and l
saw there was some deceit being car
ried on. I thought Miss Ireland knew
all about it,
Q. You thought then that your
money was lost and everything was
gone by the boards? A. No, sir, I
did not just then. 1 thought right
away of that $1,000. I did not hardly
think the $1,000 was gone, and 1 did
not thoroughly believe that until I
found it out.
@. Did you inquire Immediately to
see whether you could get in the vault?
there to do anything.
O. At the bank? A. Yes, sir did.
Q. What officer? A. 1t was either
Courtney or Morrissey, don't know.
Witness attention was called to his
first meeting with Adry after the muir
der, and said he returned from the po-
lice station very tired and nervous,
and with no disposition to go to bed.
He went in and talked about the acct
dent with Adry, who seemed terribly
surprised. He was very positive there
was no remark made about a revol-
yer or that he said cit was just like
picking up money"
@. Where did you rest that night
when you did lie down, in whose room?
A. In my brothers fiat
@. What time was that that you
laid down on the lounge, believe he
said, was that right? A. Yes, that
was right. Well, I will put it in this
way. If I got home and called at his
