Minneapolis. Mimi. Feb 1s.-The Hay
ward trial dragged this morning and
rather dull and uninteresting time was
spent by the crowd present
Edward Goodseu was recalled to tbs
stand and Mr.. Erwin examined him. His
testimony related to large sums Of money
2 the DEFENDANTS possession, while in
Chicago
F C. Erhardt, brother to the man who
discovered the body of Miss Cling, was
next called. His brother had come to the
house and told him that there was a dead
body in the road. They took a lantern
and with a brother-in-law. went to the
scene. This was about $50 o'clock.
My brother" said the witness. stated
that he had met a rig, the other side of the
hill Ny brother went to the telephone,
and my hrother-in-law and I stayed.

out Of the buggy. The toe marks were
dragged a little"
In the witness opinion the woman was
thrown out of the buggy.
Was the body lying on the right or the
left side?"
"she was lying more on her stomach
than the right side. The toes were on the
ground and the heels up in the air. The
body from the waist up might have been
turned on the right side some"
Are you sure the heel track was hers?"
Yes. sir; it was the only track near"
The appearance indicated that she
pitched out Of the buggy head-first. did it
not?" asked Mr.. Nye.
Yes, sir; my brother said he had met
q buggy and was impressed that the body
had been thrown out"
Mr.. Erwin was not satisfied with this,
ana asked: Now you found heel tracks
there. There is no way in the world
woman could. be thrown out on her head
ana strike on her feet, is there?'
The witness could not see how it could
happen.
A wrangle occurred between County At
torney Nye and Attorney Erwin a few
minutes later. The latter stated that he
wished to show that testimony had been
manufactured TO break down the testi-
mony of witness. Like a flash Attorney
Nye sprang to his feet exclaiming; I'm
rADW you MutlntI THIS testimony Is man
ufactured or not before / get DONE"
I'VE will show you that there has been
testimony manufactured" was Mr.. Err
wins retort.
Mr.. Nye's eyes flashed ominously as he
fairly shouted: And / will show where
YOU have manufactured evidence before
get done with this case. i viii hunt you
down TO the end of the earth
AT this point the court interfered, ex-
claiming: Gentlemen cease, or 1 will fine
YOU both for contempt"
Mr. Nye could not cool down so read
ily, however and remarked in a voice
that could be heard throughout the attor-
neys' inclosure: II will teach Erwin to
come in here and shoot off his mouth"
Mr. Erwin also excited the wrath of the
court by endeavoring to show that the po-
lice had prosecuted his witnesses. The
court had already warned the attorney
that this line of examination would not be
allowed, but the attoreny made another
statement in the hearing of the jury,
causing Judge Smith to remark excitedly:
i think that the attorney should know
better than to ask such a question. /
think this is an insult
Mr.. Nye took the witness Mr.. Grandall
the latter testifying that the man who got
m the carriage that night wore pointed
toed tan shoes. The defense will endeavor
10 prove that this was the man who con-
splred with Blixt to kill Miss Cling.
The Hayward defense is working the
third man" theory and is putting in tes-
timony to show that it was some other
man than Harry Hayward who planned
the murder.
Julia E Walker Of St. Paul testified
this afternoon to having seen Miss Cling
several times in St. Paul with a middle
aged man, who wore an iron-gray NOUS
taehe. The description given by this wit
ness does not tally with either that of
Wilson or Grindall. The latter testified
that he saw a man enter the buggy in
which Miss Cling was riding, after she
had driven a block from the West hotel
There was a terrific row to-day over the
attempts of Mr., Erwin to draw from this
witness a description of the abuse to
which he had been subjected by a detec~
tive named Hoy and the police officers.
Mr.. Nye made an objection every time a
question was asked as to Grindall being
prosecuted The court sustained every
objection to testimony Of this kind, but
Mr.. Erwin persisted in an effort to get
the evidence on record. Judge Smith
sharply reproved the attorney.
Grlndall swore this afternoon that ef-
torts had been made to corrupt his tes-
amony By an attorney, Case Ebert. Ebert
ne says, has been representing himself
as one Of Mr.. Erwin's men. The witness
said he did not md out till last Saturday
hat Ebert was working for the state
several other witnesses testified con,
2erning the shooting, but while their tes-
umony may have some bearing upon the
case later in the proceedings, it did not
appear material at the present time.
The defense wanted to recall Livery
man Wilson, who was so positive that he
saw Miss Cling and Harry Hayward rid
.ns together on the night OF the murder,
out found he had taken hasty trip to
