Harry Hayward Accuses Adry of Having
Once Acted as Highwayman.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. Feb. 26.-Harrv
Hayward, the defendant in the Cling
murder case, continued his testimony
to-day in his own behalf. He de-
scribed his experience in the Sweat
box" and told how he was taken to
the morgue and the dead body shown
to him with everybody watching him.
He did not know what he did, but
said he felt very badly and knew
every one there thought him guilty.
He went to Miss Ireland and offered
to do anything about the funeral
ne could. He ordered some roses
from florist and attended to the
funeral. Thursday he and Adry were
arrested and put in a cell together.
Adry seemed very down in the mouth,
and he said to him, "We're not guilty.
What's the use of feeling this way?"
Adry was dispirited and finally he
mad said: "Adry what is this? You
held her up once. Did You have any,
thing to do with this?" Adry was
silent and refused to talk any more.
After that there was no further con-
versation between them.
This evidence caused a futter of
excitement 1t brought in the story
which on Thursday had been ruled
out by the court that Adry was the
masked highwayman who last April
held up and robbed Harry, Miss
Cling and Miss Vedder wdile they
were out riding. Adry, it is under.
stood will deny the story with an
alibi.
