DAKOTA, SATURDAY.
he put upon tie STAN. nj i.lal time
Mr.. Nye s.l;d that he objected to chang
ing the order of the testimony. hut
would call eN-Mayor EustiS rather than
inconvcnirEce the defense.
Tha strongest testimony the state has
brought our, aside from the ..onfas slnn
of HliNt. came when most unexpected
The defense has inferred right along
that Miss Cling was mixed up with Il
green goods gang of which Harry
knew nothing. From all the state wit.
lrsscs it appeared. as far as could be
seen. that Harry did not know of Miss
Ging's rides the two nights previous tc
the murder. In fact. Miss Ireland
herself. hid said that Harry asked ar
ter Miss Cling both times. Then like
lightning from Il clear sky came the
blow to the defense. Miss Ireland was
allowed All explanation. and she said
that Harry had told her aunt not to
let her know of the iaunts with him
in the evening. Her aunt had said that
was his wish. and at the same time
informed her not to "sive it away"
that she knew Miss Cling was out with
Harry. rs he was not to know that
the niece had been told OF their rela-
ttons. This was the first evidence to
knock out the green goods gang theory,
and implicate Harry.
The buggy in which RliXt killed Miss
Cling was brought into court to be
used i'll the course of George Coos
mans testimony. 1t was an object Of
much attention.
Minneapolis. Feb. 13.-Adrian Hay

was engaged in loaning money on tli;l-
mO:idS
Harry also told him that he ganblcd
some. lie had told him of having
loaned money for Miss Cling and hav-
Ing gambled with her money. At this
point MIR. Erwin arose and impressive

and nobody would be suspicious of me,
as they only looked up a SGT of crimi-
