HARRY HAYWARD'S DEFENSE
The Alleged Slayer of Miss Cling Building
Story

a story
MINNEAPOLIS, March 6-This was the
defense's day in the Hayward trial The
courtroom was packed. Just before the
proceedings began, the palsied father OF
the defendant came in with his wife.
Harry Hayward entered manacled, but
debonair, fresh and seemingly confident
of acquittal. He stopped moment to re-
ceive his fathers blessing, and replied
with real or simulated gaiety,:
"Oh, I am all right. W. W. Erwin
began his address in subdued and I'M
pressive manner. The case has been
tried. he declared, before two juries, the
other (pointing to the press table) was
the iury of sensationalism, the jury OF
destruction. The speaker then went into
a long and careful explanation OF the ORR
gin Of trial by jury, the law governing
It and the theory of a reasonable doubt.
"Adry and | put up the job to kill Miss
Cling, and agreed if we got caught to lay
it on Harry
Upon the above words, the testimony
of Maggie Wachtler, with which Erwin
reared his defense, was presented to the
jury in his closing appeal for the life OF
his client.
A family torn asunder, brother against
brother. All through the day Mr.. Erwin
labored with the jury.
He dwelt upon the testimony OF Maggie
Wachtler used the words of Blixt himself
and laid before the jury the theory OF the
defense that it was Adry Hayward who
was the criminal, the human tiger, and
Blixt, who was the cunning rogue. The
intelligent villain who had managed to
suit his'evidence to the needs of the state.
A half day was spent in the exordium and
three full hours in explaining the evil
dence of Claus A. Blixt to show that it
was Adry who had planned the murder
with Blixt and Blixt who was secreting
himself and using every endeavor to save
his neck and place the moose about that OF
Harry Hayward.
He referred to the hypnotist theory and
insisted that many of the statements OF
Blixt had been given to fit such theory
erected by "Friar O'Dell." Hypnotism
was new idea in law. A Kansas court
had listened to it but the appellate court
had kicked it out of the window.
Mr.. Erwin will resume his argument in
the morning.

the Compact

the Compact
San Francisco, March 6.--When outside
insurance agents were notified not to deal
with new members of the new compact
many did not take kindly to the instruc-
tons. Among these was the Pirtle Real
Estate and Trust Company OF Los Angeles,
representing the American Central of st.
Louis and the Delaware of Philadelphia
The Pirtle company sold its expirations to
the Home of Brooklyn.
This means that the policies in the
American Central and Delaware will be
replaced by policies in the Home, the lat
ter collecting from the former companies
the unearned premiums for the uneXpired
terms. The losing company will contend
before the executive committee OF the
Board of Fire Underwriters that the Los
Angeles firm had no right legally or
morally to sell the business.
Georg G Friend the secretary of the
Union, has been notified to appear before
the executive committee TO explain how
he received from the German-American
the business the latter believed it had re-
ccived safely bagged by paying $1,000 to

AMERICAN PRECIOUS STONES
Where Diamonds, Sapphires, OpaIs and Oths
Gems Are Found

Although nearly all known varieties of
precious stones are found i'll the United
States, there has until recently been little
effort made to search for them on an ex-
tensive and systematic scale, the indica-
tions not usually promising a sufficient re-
turn for any great outlay Of capital. There
were mined during the last year the fol-
lowing precious stones: Tourmalines, in
Maine, emeralds in North Carolina,
turquoise in New Mexico, sapphires in
Montana, and opals in Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho.
Diamonds are found scattered over the
country, but up to date never in COM
chief diamond belts are along the south
ern base of the Alleghanies, from Vir-
ginia to Georgia, and along the western
base of the Cascade and Sierra Madre
Mountains in Northern California.
Sapphire is found chiefly among the
crystalline rocks along the base of the
Appalachian Mountains, from Chester
Massachusetts, to Southern Georgia. The
largest corundum crystal ever found, which
was five times larger than any other
known crystal, is now in the collection OF
the Amherst College. 1t suffered some-
what in the disastrous fire of 1892.
Turquoise is one OF the most important
gem products of the country. 1t is found
in several localities in New Mexico,
tanned in Fresno county, California. Dur
ing the last two years turquoise has been
actively mined for in New Mexico, re-
opening some of the mines originally
worked by the Indians, and they have
found turquoise equal in color to the
finest Persian material. Stones have been
found at these new localities we Ching
up to 60 karats, one Of which was sold Tor
about $4,000, and it is now possible for the
first time in the last half century to
match perfect turquoise necklace.
Garnets are also found throughout nearly
the same region as the turquoise.
Some of the exceptionally fine ones
have brought $50 to 500, though fine one
karat stones seldom bring over So The
garnet output from this section amounts
to about $4,000 in cut stones annually.

a Sensation

Washington, March 6.-The libel case of
G. III. j. Taylor, the colored recorder of
deeds for the District OF Columbia, against
w. Calvin Cha e, the editor of local
negro organ, was closed today and the
jury, after being out ten minutes, returned
a verdict of guilty. The defense filed a
motion for appeal and intends to carry
the case to the District Court of Appeals.
The trial has attracted considerable in
terest, owing to the testimony introduced
by the defense. Taylor was charged with
gross immortality, both in and out of
office, and with making illegal political
assessments. The prosecution claimed
the suit was the result of conspiracy to
force the colored population to make con-
cessions to faction of the race.

A SALvATIONIST'S VIEWS
General Booth Talks of Sin and Sinners in
America

London March 6.-The Chronicle pub
fishes an interview with General Booth of
the Salvation Army, who has just re-
turned to England, after an extended tour
in the United States and Canada. Gen

by several features of American religious
life, and adds:
"The general religious tone is sur
prise and pleasure to me. The people
talked much more freely of religion than
either Englishmen or Australians. At

much real separation from the world ex-
lists with all this apparent righteousness.
