Hayward's Story.

BY the United Press.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 15.-In the
Cling murder trial the state was star
tied and the defense given a disagree
able surprise just before adjournment
this afternoon. 1t was known that NJ.
D,Wilson, a liveryman, could give some
important testimony concerning the
case and as the state did not call him
the defense concluded to find out what
he knew. All along he has steadfastly
refused to tell his story and when he
was called today 1t was expected that
he would be able to materially help the
defense. But he did not. On the con-
trary he was the most dangerous wit
ness called by either side. He said lit
tie, but the burden of that testimony
| was that he met the carriage in which
Miss Cling was riding near the spot
where BliXt claims to have met the
woman and Hayward on Kenwood
Boulevard. He also testified that there
was man with her, and in response to
further inquiry he declared that the
man was Hayward and that he had
picked him out the next morning. The
defense holds that Hayward knew
nOlHlHB NlSS SIlllS IHONt-
ments that night and had not seen her.
According to this testimony Hayward
and Miss Cling We're at the Trysting
place where Blixt was met about 7.30
p. m.
Eleven Minutes Not Accounted For.
C. ]. Bartleson, whose daughter ac-
companicd Hayward to the theater OF
the night of the murder, told of Hay
wards visit to the house and his tes-
timony accounted for all but eleven
minutes of the time for which it is in
tended to prove an allbi for the de.
fendant.
During these eleven minutes the
prosecution contends Hayward had
ample time to meet Miss Cling and
BliXt on Kenwood Boulevard, direct
Blixt where to go, and then go to the
residence of Miss Bartleson and escort
her to the theater.
Mrs. o. f. Maggie. who heard the
shot, fixed the time at between $50 and
SO in the evening, and Mr.. Bartleson
says that Hayward was at his home
at 755. Harry Hayward will go on the
stand in his own behalf next Wednes-
udy OF lHuISudS, anu HIS law yeIS At
tach a great deal of importance to the
story he will tell. 1t is thought that
Harry will tell story duplicating Adry
in the plot that will be startling in the
examination.
w. II. Hayward. father of the boys,
will also testify, and is expected to
produce series of letters in Adry's
handwriting which will be very damag-
ing to him. Mrs. Hayward and DIR.
Thaddeus Hayward will also be import
ant witnesses for the defense.
