turned over to assistant county attorney
A. HI. Hall for cross-examination Mr. Hall
plunged at once into the questions of the
various loans made by Hayward to Miss
Cling. the aim of his questions apparently

dress maker money freely without security
and in a loose and unbusiness-like manner.

the most he had ever lost at one sitting
was $500 at the Twin City Athletic Club.
Mr.. Hall went through and through the
subject of loans, but was quite unable to
