crime Cling. For instance, he may have
struck her with the L rail and beaten
her until she was unconscious before lie
fired his pistol at ALL and, for some in-
explicable reason, is
Ashamed TO Tell 1t.
Brute though he has confessed him
self to be, there may be some germ of
feeling i'll him which prompts him to
tell all but the little that would make
his story complete in every particular.
Preposterous as it may seem. unless
confederate can be traced to that lonely
spot on Excelsior road this explanation
or Blixps actions is not wholly i'm
probable one.
The defense will introduce, no doubt,
any amount Of expert testimony as 10
how fast KIttie Ging's life blood ebbed
away in the carriage before she was
placed on the ground. but how effective
their testimony will be against that of
a self-confessed murderer remains to
be seen.
The money transactions of Hayward
with the woman will also play an im-
portant part in the proceedings. The
state will endtavor to prove that Hay
ward exercised such power over Miss
Cling that he could n axe her write let
tiers at his dctation. letters which
would tend to divert suspicion
J in case anything happened. Two
of these letters are in the pos
sesson0 of Hayward's attorneys.
One of them, which is given below,
is rather remarkable one II the
reader will study it he will doubtless be
impressed by the explicit statements it
contains. On its face it locks like
made-tooIder letter. A shrewd woman
like Miss Cling would hardly write at
such length and be particular to men,
tion the amount, $1,000, which Hayward
claims to have loaned her.
If the theory of the state is the correct
one, these letters had some connection
with the mysterious rides which Miss
| Cling took before the tragedy. If Harry
llaoward really conspired to take her
life he must have deceived her with
some strange scheme 10 induce her to
go out driving to meet him. The
green goods" theory, which was at one
advanced, might account for her
actions. If, as Hayward alleges. she
gave him money to gamble with, she
may have been persuaded to meet some
friend of Hayward's at an uufre uented
spot to arrange deal of some kind. He
may even have planned an elopement
with her. telling her that his father
obj cted to his getting married and
that the best thing to do would be to get
married secretly.
The Queer Letters.
The following ara the letters which
| the defense will introduce:
Nov. %. 1891.
Dear Frien Harry: Thinking matter over
| after you left this a m., can't get the
money Low unless l use part of the seven
! thousand, and don't see why you want SO
| much two thousand now. When you
loaned it TO me you said you would not Want
it very soon, SO have loaned it out; but 1
! thEk I can get you five hund. ed in few
days and that Will certainly be all that you
will need at the iiot Springs. The LIST Of
January will have all my money and then
| we can strdghten everything up. Hoping
this will be satisfactory to you p AS M ever,

Dear Friend Harry: You needn't 5e so
mad about II; you can have your money back

| Specialists Coming.
1t was reported yesterday that there
| are even now Ell route to Minneapolis q
number of eminent specialists in affec-
| lions of the mind and nervous diseases,
~,
| the defense. The attorneys would not
admit any such charge, but it is said
| that these men are to be present in the
court room i'll an apparently uncOn-.
! cprned manner and Will be called upon
10 give testimony in the case hereafter
as 10 the insanity of the prisoner or his
brother. 1t is believed that the defense
/ will be better satisfied if it can prove
! that the neurntlc talnt traceable through
/ the Illinois connections of the Hay
ward family is manifest in Adry's de-
/ mean or, articulation or thought, as
/ given when lie is placed OH the stand.
Experts may be summoned, too, ii is
reported to follow up the line of teStl-
! munV indicated ia the GLOBE Yesterday
! morning, TO contradict the statement OF
/ BliXt that the wounds on the face were
| caused by the falling Of the corpse
| upon the ground. 1t is possible that
| The defense may secure admissions from
| the local physicians whO performed the
! autopsy that it was very improbable, II
not even impossible, for the bruises to
| have been SO caused,aS they admitted.at
| least after 4 fashion, the reasonableneSs
! of the claim that the wound on the fore.
head was caused before the laceratlUn
of the eyelid by the bullet. DIR. Hill,
who is the other witness for the state aS
to the autopsy, is an Old-llme coroner,
and one familiar with sucn eases, and
! the nature OF his testimony will have
considerable weight. 1t would take
heavy blow to make such a fracture as
was found i'll the skull. There was
such doubt in his evidence dS 10 the
! possibility of the break having been
made bv such a fall th9t the defense, it
is said, is reluctant tn rely on 1t alone.
OF course if DR.. HIPS answers should
be positive enough on that point, ii Will
not be necessary TO look further. Ii is
claimed, however, that the
Defcnse EEas Hopes
of being able to satisfy the jury beyond
doubt that these injuries were hot
caused by the fall, and may summon
number of experienced anatOmiStS,
surgical eXperimentalists, and expert
emergency surgeons, to testify as 10
the nature of the assaults which would
be necessary to create such wounds as
existed on Catherine Ging's face when
the body was found.
Another point which came up near
the close of the session Friday in the
cross examination of Mr.. Nippert. and
which was omitted in the GLOBE Article
of Yesterday, was that there was 10
trace of sand or grit in the wound i'll
the chin where the lip was cut through.
1t Is true that the face had been washed
before the physicians saw 1t, but the
defense will, it is said, endeavOr TO show
by the morgue keeper that the washing
was not calculated 10 remove any dirt
from cuts of that depth, ana by sur
geons that it would not have been pos
