The questions put to him were of

His 3timony revealed a family
skelet, which it would have been
better ashave kept out of sight 1t
also revealed a bitter hatred exist

borne of jealousy and distrust. AL
most the whole forenoon was given
over to a recital of murderous
threat made by father and sons.
The attorney for the defense was
successful in proving what he sought
to prove, that Adry and Harry were

During the examination of her
elder son Mrs. Hayward sat beside
her pet son Harry. The questions
put to the witness showed conclu
sively that an effort would be made
to connect him ineXtricably with the
crime Harry is charged with. The
idea of the defense seemed to be

The bitter words which came from
his lips seemed to relieve his mind,
and, while on the first day he
evinced disposition to tell no more
than he was absolutely compelled
to, his attitude yesterday plainly
indicated thirst for revenge.

that eXasperated the witness beyond

the outrageous scheme without
word of protest.
The latter part of the forenoon
and all of the afternoon was taken
up with an examination of insurance
men. Some six or eight witnesses
were called, and all of them testified
to the inquiries made by the prisoner
in regard to insurance for women
and the exact information which he
seemed anxious to secure as to what
this or that company would do in
case of accident to the insured
The circumstances attending the
taking out of the two policies for
$1,000 each was brought out clearly,
and the testimony of a number of
the gentlemen who write life insur-
ance will show the peculiar ideas
which possessed Hayward months
before the night of Dec. 8.
E Mr. .Nye stated to the court yester-
day afternoon that the state would
probably finish its case by noon to-
day.
