HARRY aAYWARD MAD.

The Accused Murderer of Miss Cling In-
diguant at Being Charged with coIn-
plicity in an Attempted Jail Delivery.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Jan. 22.-Harry
Howard was indignant when he was
brought into the court room to-day.
His attorneys were also indignant and
Mr.. Erwin lost no time in letting the
Court know the state of the defence's
feelings.
1t was all due to story printed this
morning with reference to recently
attempted Jail delivery. The sheriff had
discovered carefully planned conspir-
acy among the prisoners in the county
jail for midnight delivery. A discovery
of tools frustrated the plan. The paper
which published an account of the
affair endeavored TO connect Harry
Hayward with the plot to escape, and
ascribed 10 him that leadership IN the
affair.
Attorney Erwin addressing the Court
declared that an explanation was due
his client. He then detailed that one of
| the prisoners on the lower tier had
passed up to Hayward, whose cell is on
the upper tier, bottle of acid with
which he was told he could make his
escape by using it to carrode the bars.
| Hayward at once told Erwin OF
the occurrence and was advised
to have nothing whatever to do with
such plot. He acquiesced and ii was
determined to notify the authorities of
the plan. Hayward did not care TO gain
| the Ill will Of the other prisoners by
playing the informer and the officers
agreed, when informed of the plot
through Hayward, that his connection
with the affair should not be divulged.
MIR. Erwin was very indignant, there
fore, at the publication.
Judge Smith said that the whole
affair was outside of the trial, but In
view of the peculiar circumstances II
was proper enough for the defendants
to make an explanation. Turning to the
press table he made special plea to the
reporters to be fair and impartial in all
that they wrote concerning the trial.
The third juror was secured to-day, in
the person of 9. s. Philbrick, a lumber

THE MAIL QUARTERLY.
Address by Sandwich Islander--Sucoess
of the Paris Mission.

The McAll Mission of this city held
their quarterly meeting in St. Andrews
Church Tuesday afternoon, Solos were
sung by Mrs. Pyle and Miss Emma Lore.
The interest of the meeting centred
in the address of the Rev, Thomas Gulick,
a Sandwich Islander by birth, his parents
having been missionaries in those far off
isles. Himself and brothers are ut present
engaged in the same work i'll the Islands
of the Pacific ocean and Europe,
Rev. Mr.. GulIck, who is a man of fine
presence and n good speaker, gave rapid
description of mission work in France
where, he said, there were GOO workers.
OF these 500 are French and the remaining
100 represent every nationality. The first
McAll mission, he said began in small
dram shop in Paris, where there are now
80 places of meeting and 10 stations scat
tered through different cities of France.
Two per cent of the people, he said, are
noninally Protestants, ana one per cent
of these are living Christians. OF 9S per
cent not 100 have Bible or any religious
book in the house. A lady travelling in
France lost her Bible and could not obtain
a COPY in any of the book stores, one shop
man even going as far as to warn her about
the book, saying she surely did not know
its character, as it was very vile and not tit
to read at a Young peoples Meeting.
