Il Good Bill.
Fred Mason has drawn up bill
to be presented to the Legislature in re-
gard to the grading of hay. The bill
is a lengthy one and the ADVANCE has
been supplied with copy of it. 1t
is similar in construction to the grain
grading bill. There is no question
as to the merits of this measure: as it
is now the country shippers are at
the mercy Of the commission men,
who are expected to put up hard
fight against it's passage.
The bill is now in the hands OF
Representative Daniel Shell, and he
can be depended upon to use every

He COULD GET COIN
Another of the Sensations in
the Hayward Murder
Case. >#&&
Mr.. WILSON WAS APPROACHED
With a Statement That the
Elder Hayward Was Very
Wealthy.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 2S.-M. d. Will
son, the iveryman who told one story
off the stand and different one under
oath in regard to the occupants of the
Goosman rig on the night of the Cling
murder, has acquired Il prominence in
this celebrated trial. He was the most
interesting figure on the stand when
called to testify to conversations he had
engaged in with various people since
the murder. Mr. Erwin proceeded to
fill the hide Of his own witness with
assegais, and he secured admissions
from the horse trader that he had
several times asserted his inability to
swear who was in the buggy that night.
The Worm Turns.
Mr.. Wilson stood it for while and
pointed out that he had told only the
persons he believed entitled to such i'll
formation who the man and woman
were that he met driving on the boule-
ward. The reason he said he talked
differently to those asking him ques-
tions was that he had been pursued with
relentless persistence by reporters, attor.
neys and other inquisitive people until
life had been made a burden, and he
had been forced to dissimulate in pure
self defense. Mr.. Erwin persisted in
making the witness admit that the
stories he had told were lies, either one
way or the other, and this made the
short gray hairs of Wilson's Uranium
rise up. He let out a hint that the at
torney Tor the defense was
Playing With Edged Tools.
Still Erwin poked away. Finally
Wilson thought forbearance was no
longer virtue. When asked whether
he had not stated to several people that
he had been offered $500 to testify in d
certain way, the witness replied that he
had not made the statement in that
form, but he had made the remark: IL
guess l could get $500 out of this if |
wanted to-
Sweetser Approached Him.
1t was thin ice all around for thu
tall lawyer from ST. Paul, but he kept
on questioning until Wilson raped out
a direct statement that Attorney
Sweetser, one of the lawyers for the
defense, had called at his house two
weeks ago last Sunday, and endeavored
to influence his testimony with hints
as to the amount Of money w. w.
Hayward was worth. There had been
no direct offer Of Il sum Of money Oh the
part of the defense, but Mr.. Sweetser
had emphasized the fact Of Hayward
seniors wealth, and had repeatedly told
Wilson that his testimony was neces-
sary to the Hayward side of the case.
Wilson had replied that he was a poor
man, but that they could not buy him,
and that he would tell nothing until
put on the stand.
The statement made by this witness
amounted to direct charge that Sweet
Ser had tried to bride him.
Several other witnesses of minor iln-
portance were examined.

SCUTTLED THE SHIP
Some Light Thrown on the
Loss of the President
in 184l.
WAS CAPTURED BY PIRATES
Passengers All Walked the
Plank and the Ship Was
Sunk.

New YORK, Feb. pa special tt
The World from London says: While
La Goscogne was still unreported on hel
recent memorable voyage, the Duke Of
Newcastle wrote letter to a London
newspaper to the effect that when he
was in America in 1888, a gentleman in
formed him that two or three years pre-
viously an old sailor on his death bed
had confessed to having formed one OF
the crew of a pirate vessel which cap
tured the Atlantic liner, the President,
which sailed from New York in 1841
and was never heard from again.
The Duke of Newcastle said that the
gentleman had quoted the sailor as con
Tossing that the pirate overhauled and
captured the President; that every soul
on board was made to walk the plank.
and that the liner was afterwards scut.
tied.
The duke has been absent from Lon.
don since the publication of this letter,
but when he returned and received the
correspondent at his town residence, he
showed the utmost desire to clear the
matter up.
Could Add Little.
Il am very sorry he said, ''that |
can add little to my published letter.
Unfortunately 1 cannot even remember
the name of my informant, except that
he had been consul or minister to
Persia. I met him at lunch in Chicago
in 1888. He told me the story in the
general conversation about the table,
and it made a lasting impression on my
mind. Of course I cannot vouch for
the story i'll any way, but the gentle
man who mentioned it, seemed to be
convinced as to it's truth. AS I remem-
Der, the port at which the confession
was made was New Orleans, which,
perhaps, may furnish some clue.
"Now that the matter will be referred
to, perhaps my informant will come
forward with full statement Of the
facts if he is still alive
"Of course an act Of piracy Of that
kind was quite possible in those days,
and especially in the case Of the Presi-
dent, which was under manned.
