MISS GING'S MURDER
ANOTHER STATEMENT AND CONFESS
SION By ADRY HAYWARD.
All the Blame Placed on His BROTHER
Harry, Who Is Now ON Trial for
Committing the Crime.

MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. S.-Tne crowd ar
the Hayward trial to-day was not SO large
as yesterday, but shivering mass of nu-
manity waited outside the big doors for an
hour before admission was secured. rhe
plan of defense is gradually becoming APP
parent. No one believes that an attempt
will be made TO prove Harry Hayward in
sane but, instead, the opinion now pre-
walls that the effort will be to prove Adry
Hayward guilty of the very crime with
which, in his confession. he has charged
his brother. The defense, ii is believed, will
attempt to show that Blixt is insane and
that while his confessions true state
ments of facts as to the way in which the
crime was committed and melted, the man
who engaged him to do the work was Adry
and not Harry Hayward Blxt's behavior
in the jail-now franticaly fearful and
again fearlessly confident-will be used TO
show that the man is not well balanced
mentally and tc impeach him as a witness.
During the examination of veniremen, to-
day Attorney Erwin asked William Jay,
cooper, whether he had any opinion as the
Defendants, guilt. or innocence
Yes, | have, responded JAY, and |
should say he was guilty.
Mr.. Erwin stood aghast, while the laugh
went around, Hayward himself joining IN
the merriment Jay was excused.
The attorneys in the case last night held
long examination of Adry Hayward. The

to be allowed to take Adry's statement in
full and the demand was acceded to. Adry
made a much more complete statement than
any yet made and went into details as to
his brothers plot to murder Catherine Cling.
The statement was strong in detail and
apparent truthfulness that attorneys for the
denfense were staggered. John Day Smith,
of counsel for the defense, could not conceal
his amazement and chargrin So crestfal-
len was his manner that Mr.. Erwin was
compelled to tell him to brace up. Good
heavens, Smith,, said his colleague, look
up If you can't see a star
Adry seemed nervous while making his
statement and apparently now realizes with
a greater force than ever before that on his
word hangs he fate of the younger brother.
The mans face was pale as he began TO
speak of Harrys influence over him and the
various ways in which that influence had
been exercised. He went on to enumerate
certain threats that had been made against
his own safety by Harry and declared that
plicity in the crime of murder, by actual
fear of personal violence as well as by an
influence of will that he could not define.
Becoming more vcluble as he proceeded, the
informer told how Harry had approached
him the subject of the killing and how
he had tried to shake his brothers deter
detail Adry told how he labored with Harry
to give up the idea of murder, using at first
such arguments as would have been likely TO
influence man with atom of humanity,
and lastly appealing to his sense of fear.
Adry pointed that escape from the results
of such crime would be almost impossible
and that the perpetrators would certainly
be hanged Ali this was without effect on
the brother, who called Adry cur and
remarked that he had.no sand at all. Then
came the story of Adry's visit to Elder
Stewart and his communication to that gen
tleman of the facts IN the case. The
Elders amusement at his story was touched
on and his own misery that he had no one
in whom he dared confide the awful secret
on his mind. Adry admitted that he had
intended at first. after the murder was
committed to protect his brother at any
cost, but the horror of the affa r had made
such an impression on his mind that when
confronted with Elder Stewart and in
formed that the conspirators were all under
arrest, ne did not believe there was any
purpose TO be served by further silence. All
through the reinstatement of his connection
with the case Adry. kept his eyes fixed on
Mr.. Nye, the county attorney and appeared
to be anxious that not a single detail of
the fearful story might escape his memory.
At times his face flushed like that
of a man in high fever; again it was ashen
colored to the very, lips, More than en-
hour elapsed before the story was done. All
through it Attorney Erwin sat silently.
AT the close of the day two additional
jurors had been secured making five in all.
Eighty-three talesmen have seen examined.
