Minneapolis, Feb. 12.-When court
was called to order Emil Fcrrant was
put On the stand to tell what he
knew about the scene in the Ozark on
the night of the murder. The witness
said that at II o'clock he was prepar-
ing to so to bed. when he heard COM
motion down stairs. Upon going down
he found Henry Goosman, whose
father owns the liz cry stable, and Of
flcer Thomas Britt. Ferrant asked
Goosman what was the excitement
The reply was that Miss Cling had
been out riding that evening and met
with a serious accident. Harry came
in presently and made those singular
remarks about his business relations
with the girl which have been testified
to by several witnesses. He also pro-
duced some letters, but they were read
only in part.
When it came to calling the next
witness Mr.. Nye arose and said: ct
is the intention Of the state to intro
duce the testimony of Adry Hayward
at this time He is not in the roonl
I see, but can be sent for at once"
Mr. Erwin was on his feet at once.
MAY it please the court he began in
his suave way, this is somewhat of a
surprise to us. We wish to have eN-
perts here to listen to the testimony of
Adry Hayward. One of them is sick
and could not appear to-day. I desire
that, if possible. some other witness be
put on at this time. so as to save me
the inconvenience of having a report
of the proceedings read and explained
to my experts. You understand that
it is not the testimony itself that is Of
so much Importance, but the manner
in which it is given"
Judge Smith observed that the case
must so on, and asked Attorney Nye
if he had any other witness who could
be put upon the stand at that time.
Mr.. Nye said that he objected to chang
ing the order of the testimony, but
would call eX-AIayOr Eustis rather than
Inconvenience the defense.
The strongest testimony the state has
brought out. aside from the comics SION
Of BlNt, came when most unexpected.
The defense has inferred right along
that Miss Cling was mixed up with a
green goods gang of which Harry
knew nothing. From all the state wit
nrsses it appeared. rs far as could be
seen, that Harry did not know Of Miss
Ging's rides the two nights previous tc
the murder. In fact, Miss Ireland,
herself, had said that Harry asked af-
ter Miss Cling both times. Then like
lightning from a clear sky came the
blow to the defense. Miss Ireland was
allowed an explanation, and she said
that Harry had told her aunt not to
let her know Of the jaunts with him
in the evening. Her aunt had said that
was his wish, and at the same time
Informed her not to ''give it away"
that she knew Miss Cling was out with
Harry, as he was not to know that
the niece had been told Of their rela-
tons. This was the first evidence to
knock out the green goods gang theory,
and implicate Harry.
The buggy in which Blixt killed Miss
Cling was brought into court to be
used in the course Of George Coos
mans testimony. 1t was an object of
much attention.
Minneapolis. Feb. 13.-Adrian Hay
ward was called to the stand to-day
and a buzz Of subdued inter-
est went around the court room. He
stated that he was thirty-thre and
Harry Twenty-Five years Of age. He
had come to Minneapolis twenty-five
years ago from Macoupin county, ILL.,,
where he was born. He was married
and had two children. He was en-
ployed In his fathers office, where he
transacted most of the loan and rental
business. Harry was not employed
there but often came there. Harry had
told him that last summer and fall he
was engaged in loaning money on dia-
monds.
Harry also told him that he gambled
some. He had told him of having
loaned money for Miss Cling and hav-
ing gambled with her money. At this
point Mr.. Erwin arose and impressive
ly said: Il wish to enter an objection
here. This witness has a delusion on
this subject, and is in fact insane"
81 don't see," said the court, that
he's any more insane than some of the
attorneys in this case"
II take an exception to the coarse
ruling" retortod Mr.. Erwin "and to
the courts remark before this jury"
With that remark he sat down and the
examination proceeded.
HE told me-" continued Adry, t'that

mortgage on flour mill at Hamel,
and asked me to go out with him to
u Hamel and see about it. We drove
out, and though I advised him against
the loan, he made it. Three weeks
later he came in and said he lad been
very lucky, as the mill had burned, and
he would probably get the money to
handle. About the middle of Septem-
Der he asked me if I wanted to make
good money. I said yes, and he said
could get about $4,000 if was not
too particular. He asked me if I was
willing to kill woman for $4,000 1
said [ was not willing to kill any
body. He said it was easy to do it,
and nobody would be suspicious Of me-
as they only looked up a set Of crimi-
mails who had been convicted of crime
before. After that he said he knew a
hackman that would do anything for
him. He said it would be easy to
kill her in a hack, and if necessary the
hackman could be killed too. I asked
him If the hackman had a family, and
he said he did. I then said it would
be an awful thing to kill a woman, let
