Prisoner Hayward Is Not Worrying
Much About His Trial.
MINNEAPoLIs, March 1.-The Hayward
murder trial proceeded to-day in spite of
the fact that County Attorney Nye is con-
fined to his bed from nervous prostra-
ton.
1t is remarked that the jurymen look
like ghosts after their SIX weeks pull at
the case. The lawyers are worn out with
work and worry and even the Judge looks
weary and bored. Defendant Harry Hay
ward comes into court each morning fresh
and smiling, as If it were a matinee he was
attending.
The state knocked few more props
from under the defense in rebuttal to-day.
Louis Balm svore he was present at the
conversation between Liveryman Wilson
and James Ward when the former was al
legged to have said that it was not Harry,
but Adry Hayward he saw driving with
Miss Cling the night of the murder. Balm
declared the Haywards were not men,
toned in the whole conversation.
Ernest Camash testified that he saw
George Grindall on the east side, many
blocks away, at the very time when Grim
dali swears he saw the mysterious "third
man" get into the buggy with Miss Ging.

A gun expert was called to show that
the bullets in various makes of cartridges
differed in weight. This was to offset
Erwin's effort TO show that the cartridge
used TO kill Miss GIng was 80 long and
not 80 short, as Blixt testified.
DR.. +. A. Dunsmore, after a critical eX-
animation of the skull, testified posi-
tiyelV. in answer to questions. that the
decorations on the face and the fractures
of the skull might have been caused by a
fall from the buggy of the body, such as
was described by Blxt, or that the bullet
might have caused the fracture.
Mr.. Dunn, another expert for the state,
followed and gave similar testimony. Mr..
Erwin was unable to shake the belief of
either that the thing was possible. DR..
Dunsmore had known of double fractures
resulting from the fall of body standing
on its feet.

WAsmNGToN, March lin the house
to-day Storer was recognized to move the
passage, under the suspension of the
rules, of the bill with the senate amend
ments to amend the interstate commerce
act SO as to incorporate two criminal Sec
tions providing punishment for the viola
ton of the law. Ii imposed fine of 200
for each ofTensc upon any firm OF corpor-
alton represented by any person or agent
seeking rates lower than those estab-
lishcd, and a similar fine on common car
riers accepting freight at lower than their
published rates.
Simpson attacked tho bill. He charged
that there was a scheme behind il TO get
the pooling bill on as a rider and 10 use it
as a vehicle to get that iniquitous bill
through congress.
Storer said he had no knowledge of such
plan. Breckinridge agreed with Simp-
son.

Simpson and Breckenridge aud the bill
was lost, 167 to lO3, two-thirds not voting
in favor of it.
Wilson moved the passage of the sub

ATLANTA, Ca, March 1.-Gcorge Dean,
a coal-black negro, who murdered A. b.
Leigh, well-to-do farmer of Campbell
for his money and afterwards confessed
the crime, was hanged in Fairburn to-day.
BY order of the court the execution was
to be private, but a crowd of 5000 excited
people, that had assembled, tore down the
high fence around the gallows and made
it public.
The wretched man had to be hanged
twice. The first time the rope broke.
Like a dead man he was taken back on
the scaffold and again swung off.
During the morning Dean was allowed
to make a speech from the court house
steps. He described his murder of the old
man and said the love of money and ig-
norance and the devil had done it.

CITY OF MEXICO, March Lit is now
known that 200 people we're killed or in
jured in tlie terrible wreck on the Inter-
oceanic railway yesterday. 1t is impossible
as yet to say how many of this number are
dead, as the wreck has not yet all been
cleared away, and the reports are very
conflicting. 1t is feared, however. that
more than 100 are dead. The train was
an excursion carrying nearly 1 ,20O passen-
gers returning from the pilgrimage an
nually made to Sacre Monte shrine.
Near Pedri Blancha there is sharp
curve, and at this point, from some rea-
son, five coaches jumped the track and
went down the side of the mountain.
Three of them were smashed completely
into kindling wood.
As soon as word was received in this
city n relief train was sent out with sur
geons and a wrecking force and the work
of rescuing the wounded and taking out
the dead has been progressing since. As
fast as possible the wounded we're brought
to this city, President Diaz having or
dered the military hospital with its staff
to care for all survivors.
the relief trains, says he saw ii dead bod
les taken from one coach. The bodies
were mangled i'm the most shocking man
ner; some of them were in fragments
and limbs, heads and bodies we're mixed
up in such manner as to make identifl-
cation almost impossible.
The scene about the wreck was most
sickening as we'll as sorrowful. Relatives
were searching for missing members of
their families, and women and children
who had lost husbands and fathers were
crying and moaning in heartrending
manner.
Further details from the scene are ex-
pected later this evening, but the tele-
graph service is unsatisfactory. This is
the most serious wreck in Mexico since
1881, when a train load of soldiers went
through bridge, 400 of them being killed.
The most careful inquiry in this section
by railroad people indicate that there
were no Americans on the train, the pas
sengers, so far as learned, being natives.
The train crew are not Americans, and
in accordance with the Mexican custom,
all who were not killed will be arrested,
the Mexican laws placing the re-
sponsbility on the train men for
such affairs, and are very stringent.
Another account of the railroad acci-
dent says 104 people were killed and 100
others injured; 1,4O0 passengers were on
the train. The train was running down
an incline near Tenango. Soon the speed
was increased to frightful rate.
On a dangerous high curve the engine
and five cars jumped the track and
plunged down an embankment.
The shrieks and groans of the wounded
werc heartrending, while many of the un
hurt women and children moaned and
walled in an agony of terror.
Among the debris could be seen many
an upturned face, the eyes fixed in the
CLASSY stare of death, and the features
distorted. Here was an arm, there was a
leg, that had been severed from trunk
lying perhaps 50 feet away.
The railroad officials displayed COM
mendable activity and special relief
train with medicines, bandages, etc., was
promptly dispatched to the scene.
