HARRY AND ADRY ENEMIES.
Latter Tells of Many PerSe-
CutiOnS at the Hands OF
His Brother.
BILL ERWIN'S LATEST MOVE.
Foundation Laid For Directly
Accusing Adry of Miss
Ging'S Death.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 13.-Adry Hay
ward was again the center of attraction
in the great murder trial, and to his
damaging story previously given he
added chapter of the private life OF
the Haywards, giving sickening exhl-
bition of family skeletons, the like OF
which has seldom been seen in a court
room in Hennepin county. The cross
examination by Erwin was scathing,
and sometimes brutal, and the young
man flushed and paled alternately with
the Indignation such questioning
aroused. There was little feeling
shown.
Not the slightest doubt exists from
Adry's testimony that he and his
brother have been for years at enmity.
1t is also apparent, although denied in
the testimony, that there has been
fearful jealousy between them as to
precedence in the affection of father
and mother.
And so the bare bones of the Hay
ward family specter had to be ratified in
the face of the world.
Not in Position to Answer.
Erwin began his questioning roughly,
and asked Adry about the trouble there
was between him and his father and
Harry.
"Were you not crazy on Oct. 7?' he
asked.
''Well, as to that" replied Adry, 'I'm
not in position to answer" and he
laughed as the court ruled the question
out.
With regard to the charge that he had
embezzled money from his father, Adry
admitted that he had been charged with
doing so by both Harry and his father,
but he had charged at the time that the
money had been stolen from his fiat by
Harry for the purpose of fomentlng
trouble. On Oct he had been request
ed by his mother to go to her apartments
and talk the matter over. The inter
view was stormy one. Harry had con-
tinually said: "Why don't you give
father back the money!" Adry claimed
that the books were straight, and that
Harry had the missing money. Mrs.
HAYWARD became incensed at her elder
son, and he turned to her with the re-
tort: 'Mother, if you think I'm dis
honest, why did you raise
Such Litter of Pups?'
Then came threats from Harry that ii
Adry did not go out at once he would
knife him. Later Harry had told the
witness that his father was carrying a
revolver and would shoot him on sight.
'"That was all that made the trouble
between my mother and myself" said
Adry.
Don't shake your head, mother" he
added, looking straight at Mrs. Hay
ward, who sat beside Harry, '.it's all
true and you know it. I'm telling the
truth"
ssTen it all, tell it ALL" cried the
mother, ''leave out nothing.''
Some Questions Not Allowed.
Mr.. Erwin asked number of ques-
tions which were ruled out by the court.
Among these were the following:
''Did you tell your father and mother
that you were being shadowed?'
Odd you not tell them that folks were
peering into the windows constantly,
and the next one who did it would get
the contents of your revolver
did you tell your father that you
met a man on your fishing trip who told
you that you had had trouble and would
have more, and that you were SO i'm
pressed with it that you had your life
insured?'
ssDid you often threaten to rob street
cars?''
One Impeachng Question.
One impeaching question which was
allowed, was this:
'Now, you told us yesterday that
when you were in the jail Harry said:
sThey are pressing Blixt rather close +"
ST don't know whether 1 said it or
Harry did. We were both of us reading
the papers. Then Harry said: I'm not
afraid about his sticking. What I am
afraid of is, tapping me on the shoulder,
what you may say
Nov don't you know that the papers
had nothing in them about Blixt that
day."

''Did you not say in the Office to your
father, on Oct. 7, I've got to have
money someway. If don't get it, I'll
Rob street car or hold up train or dc
something. | know scheme to fix
Harry, and I'll do it, see if don't.
81 did not" said Adry.
AS to Elder Stewart.
'Now, Why did you go to Stewart
with tn So"
81 thought he was friend. Father
wouldn't listen to me. Harry said that
he could send me to Saltwater. He anG
father had the money and they could
