His story tn the Jury.
At last Mr.. Erwin said he had no
other witnesses present except the de-
PENDANT himself.
Call Harry Hayward" he added.
With his arms folded and a set ex-
preston ON his face, Harry Hayward
took the stand to battle for his own life.
After the usual questions as to age,
birth, ETC., Erwin asked several ques.
tions regarding the relations between
Harry and his brother Adry. Most of
them were ruled out on objection. Then
Mr.. Erwin asked the witness to tell all
about his
Relations with Miss Cling.
"Well," said Harry i'm "a reminiscent
mood, II was introduced to Miss Cling,
I think in January, 1894, by Mr.. Speak
er, ut the boarding house. I met her at
first perhaps ms often as once q week.
After while I met her al often as
twice % week. Then you might say we
began getting fairly well acquainted.
Things went on i'm that way during
April. We kept getting better and
hetter acquainted all the time; more
and more intimate. From July and
August OF through December we were
what you might call lovers, / suppose"
mo I'll ask pou IL at any time, while
you were lovers, there were any i'm
proper relations existing between you
Of any sort?"
This was objected TO by MIR. Nye, but
wa insisted ON and the court permitted
the answer to be given.
mo SIR" was the answer given with
more feeling than had yet been shown
in any of the witness ''She
was q
True and Noble Girl,
to the best of my belief, both towards
me and towards everybody else"
Now, did you 90 riding with her?
Describe to the jury your intimacy with
her" ~'
"Well, I've been every place with
her. We've been just like any other
young man and young lady. I've taken
her driving; we've gone to the theater,
to suppers, and I've taken her to
church. I've been calling ON her, and
we have walked together, on the streets
and everywhere. guess we've been
every place together. I've taken her
riding dozens of times, and to the
theater. 1t would be impossible to
mention all the places where we've
been"
