MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, February IL
-Adry Hayward, the brother OF the
man accused OF numbering Catherine
Cling, was in the court room to-day IS
minutes before the trial began. His
wife sat beside him with traces Of
recent tears upon her cheeks, but
AdrY maintained a mask of smiles
and jovialty. When Harry was
brought in by the deputies
the eyes OF the two brothers met, but
there was no sign OF recognition other
than smile of commiseration on the
face Of Harry. DR.. Thadeus L. Hay
ward, the third brother, was present,
and was visibly more cordial to Harry
than TO Adry. IL is understood that
be will go on the stand and swear that
his brother Adry is mentally incapable,
and in fact insane. When asked this
morning whether he would be q witenss
he refused to either affirm or deny il, and
when further oestioned as to whether
Adry is insane, he replied: "If be Is
not. he's been very near IL several
times In the past" The direct examin
alton OF Ex-Mayor Eustis was resumed
at the opening OF the court with the
story of MS interview in the Oneida
block with Harry Hayward, about the
loans he had made TO Miss Cling. Mr..
Erwin interposed an objection that the
- .bk
duress, but this was overuled, and the
eI-mayor repeated the now familiar
story.
THE CRoss.EXAMINATIoN
developed nothing but objections from
the State, which were sustained and ex-
ceptions noted by the defense. Adrian
Hayward was tnen called TO the stand,
and buzz OF subdued interest went
around the court room. he stated that
he was 80 and Harry was % years Of
age. He had come TO Minneapolis 25
years ago from Macoupin county,
iinois, where he was born; he
was married and had two children. He
was employed 10 his fathers Office
where be trensacte most of the loan
and rental business. Harry was DOT
employed there but often came there.
Harry lad told MIN last summer and
fall ne was engaged in oaning money on
diamonds. Harry had also told him
that he gambled some. He had told
him OF having loaned money for Miss
Ging aud having gambled with her
money. AT this point Mr.. Erwin arose
and ImpTessiyely said:
81 wish TO enter an objection here.
This witness has a delusion on this sub
iect aud is in fact insane"
II don't see," said the Court, "that
he's any more insane than some of the
attorneys in this case"
II take exception to the Courts rul-
ing" retorted Erwin, "and to the
Courts remark before this jury"
With that remark he sat down, and
the examination proceeded.
"He told me-" continued Adry, that
she held some Dotes secured by mort
gage on flour mill at Hsme, and asked
me- TO 90 out with him to Hame and see
about it. We drove ont, and though
advised him against the loan, be made
it. Three weeks later he came in and
said be had been very lucky, as the
mill had burned, and be would proba-
bly get the money to handle. About
the middle Of September he asked me II
