gaed in a venture she put in $50. He
always divided with her according to
the amount she gave him and what
sum he furnished. He wanted her to
stop, but she refused.
Nervous, contradictory, uncertain,
garrulous, rambling and explanatory.
These words explain the aspect Of
Harry Hayward on the stand, testify
ing to save his own life. In the morn
ing when he was answering prelinin-
airy questions in regard to his life, his,
gambling habits, etc., he was concise,
perfectly at ease, quick to answer. and
made an ideal witness. In the after
noon when his attorney began to lead
him into the details of the circum-
stances attending the tragedy, he went
up in the air." as a horseman would
say, and made bad impression.
AS a whole, from the testimony
given by the witness, he has not made
any points for himself, and his APP
pealanc" has told against him.
