Charles Dlixt, the ssIf.Cenfessea
slayer Of the Girl, Takes the stand
and Goes lnto Details Of the Crins.
nlixt Breaks Down and sobs Like
Q Child.

Minneapolis, Feb. ,0.-The Hayward
case was devoid Of the Sensational,
the testimony being entirely that Of
physicians ind Of little interest to the
hundredsawho crowd into the court
room dnlIy. The testimony naturally
h. Of an expert character. The de-
Tense keeps pounding away on the
poor girls skull, Its aim being to estab-
lish beyond q doubt the fact that tho
two fractures Of the skull were suf-
ficient to have caused death.
DR.. Nippert's testimony was that
there were two well defined fractures,
Of equal extent and about four inches
In length, which penetrated both COW
erings of the skull. It Is plainly the
purpose Of Attorney Erwin to discredit
Bltxt's testimony, and 1t Is thought the
defense will Introduce Testimony to
show that these fractures could have
been made only by heavy blows from
some instrument, delivered before the
murdered girl was shot. The testimony
Of RliXt does not intimate that any
such blows were given, and this story
Is in strong conflict with the expert
evidence as to the nature Of the in
juries. The state may find 1t difficult
to show that these injuries could have
resulted either from fall from the
buggy or from the buggy passing over
the body. 1t will probably be shown
that, in case OF a fall from the buggy.
the fracturing Of both the outer and
inner plates of the skull would not
have occurred. DIR. Nippert was a
good witness, and had ready re-
sponse for oil Of Mr.. Erwin's technical
questions. DIR. william Russell. who
was one Of the few that visited the
scene Of murder, corroborates Witness
Erhardt In the statement that the body
lay on Its right side. The officers,
Moore and Fox. testify that 1t was on
It's left side, and they are evidently
wrong. The state acknowledges thai
on this point they are misinformed.
AS to the conditions of the woman's
clothes and its appearance. DIR. Rus
sell agrees with those who have al
ready testified. 1t would be inferred
from the questioning of the defense
that Hayward's attorneys wish to es-
tablish the fact that Miss Cling died
from tho blows on her skull, and that
the shot, while Of fatal character
was fired to hasten the end. The at.
torneys for the state have nothing to
say of their visits to st. Paul. Az
slstant County Attorney Hall has bocn
known to make several visits to tho
sister city. but the mission on which
he went will probably not be disclosed
until given by witHesses.

Eacl. one forms small globulc, and
when that is perfected it drops off into
the serum of the milk. Each bud or
globule so formed is a globule of fat;
from them is made all the butter from
cows milk. These tiny buds of fat
seem to grow on the surface of the
cells, partly by the destruction OF the
cells and partly by the conversion of
some of the substance of the cows
blood into fat. They trickle down in
and with the milk, and are held in
suspension in it. not in solution, as
are the other solids in it. They mostly
come during the latter part of the
milking, probably because they do not
move so quickly or easily as the liquid
part of the cows milk. The fore milk
is thinner than the strippings, because
| the glObules of fat do not free them
selves from the internal Innings of the
milk ducts SO quickly as the liquid of
! the milk.

and her nervous system very largely
affect the quality of the milk she gives.

that in thimbleful of milk there will
be found millions of them. 1t is csti-
mated that there are one Thousand

1t is said that under favorable cir

them stay at home keeping house, tend
ing the babies, feeding the queen and
guarding the stores. In fine, clear
weather worker may gather three
or four grains of honey i day. AS
large colonies contain as many as So
600 bees, it may be seen that possibly
25,0O0 individuals are out seeking hon
ey. The amount each one brings in is
infinitely small, but there is strength
