Minneapolis, Feb. 15.-The state in
winding up it's case Of murder against
Harry Hayward, delivered a body
blow which staggered the defense. The
first witness introduced this morning
was none other than Peter Vallalic,
the hackman of whom Harry Hay
ward had spoken to Adry as being
willing to assist in the proposed crime
Vallalie's testimony was most dalnag-
Ing to the defense, as it corroborated
IN striking way one portion Of Adry
Hayward's remarkable story, and thus
rendered thoroughly untenable the de-
fense's pet theory as to Adry's sanity.
Vallalie testified that Harry Hayward
had approached him with questions as
to whether he had ever "done any
thing" and if so, whether his con-
science had bothered him. Hayward
had later asked Vallalie whether he
would drive a hack into Lake Calhoun
and let the occupant drown, for Il sum

Vallalie, "and that was about the end

This is the first confederation of the
stories of BliXt and Adry obtained

"Fixed" IL Medium.
Simon Gittleson, a pawnbroker told
of loaning Harry $40 on the three
diamond rings that have figured in the
testimony. While the transaction was
being concluded, Harry had flashed

Gittleson could not determine Harry
often came to him for "lucky money!
to use as a stake in gambling.
Mrs. Emma Goodale, trance me(li-
I'm doing business now under the
cognomen Of Mmn. Peterson, was an
interesting witness. Harry had come
to her alone and asked her to tell Miss
Cling when that lady should call, that
she would win at gambling. She de.
INJURED, but he told her if she would
do as he asked, she would never lack
for money. Against the advice of her
husband, she consented to do as Harry
asked.
