MOOSE FOR HAYWARD
1T WAS MADE OF EvERGREENs AND
HARRY DID NOT HEED IT.
Women in Court Show Their Feeling
Against the Defendant in the Min
neapolfs Murder Case.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 27.-The de-
fense in the Hayward murder case seems
determined TO fasten the responsibility for
the highway robbery of April q, 1894, on
Adry Hayward, the confessing brother of
the defendant. The chief incident of to-
days session was the testimony given by
Fred Horst, of the postoffice alley livery
stable, that Adry Hayward hired horse
at 9 p. m. that date and returned it at
1890 This would have given him time
to take part in the hold-up of his brother
and Miss Cling and Miss Vedder, with
whom Harry was driving. The defense also
devoted time to proving that Miss
Cling had actually contemplated going into
the millinery business on Nicollet avenue
an intention that would explain her desire
to borrow money from Harry Hayward.
NJ. D. Wilson. the delivery man who
swore that he saw. Harry Hayward driv-
ing with Miss Cling the night of the
murder, was recalled, and admitted that
he had told various people it was too dark
that night to see the face of the man.
Wilson explained that he wanted to get out
did you tell H. b. Davis asked Mr..
Erwin, that you could make $500 or $500
out of old man Hayward?'
Il told him that a man could make four
or five hundred if he wanted to, but that
money could not buy me-"
ing that Mr.. Sweetser OF counsel for the
defense, had come to him and said: Hay
ward has plenty of money and We need
yeu Ths defense vas ignans at this ns
the stand to contradict it. The most ex-
citing part of to-day's session was in the
afternoon when MIR. Erwin made an effort
to get in his expert testimony regarding the
alleged insanity of Adry Hayward. Again
Mr.. Erwin and the court held long argu-
ments, and when it was over the attorney
had managed to get before the jury the fact
that several members of Adry's family had
been insane: that local physician had pre-
scribed for a member of the family for in
sanity, and that he held that Adry had
been the victim of insane delusions for
years The court stated that the attorney
might try to prove total insanity by any
act at any time, but not partial
The intense feeling against the defendant
was shown during the argument. Once
when the court sat down on Mr.. Erwin
in a more than usually forcible manner and
ruled out the evidence the crowd, COM
into wild applause, and the court became
angered. The evidence of the day was
mostly confined to picking up shreds of tes-
timony and filling in corroboration of for
mer witnesses The only exception was in
the case of Nj. d. Wilson, whose testimony
concerning attorney Sweetzer was later en-
phatically denied by that gentleman AS
the prisoner was being taken from the court
room to the Jail some one threw into the
road a moose made of evergreens The pris-
oner walked over it and appeared not to
notice what it was.
There are renewed fears that the jury
NAV not be able to stand the long strain
of the trial successfully. Juror S. II. Dyer,
the patrarchal boat builder. is suffering
from varicose veins: This morning he had
to be carried up the stairs to the court
room and provided with cushioned rest
for his leg.
