Blixt did not hear what they said, but
Otter asked her husband.

not think they were together SATURDAY,
INT she did see them OH Monday.

ward again after BliXt went out.
..Whnt time was it BliXt went out?''
II can't exactly say 1t was q, or
maybe later"
Blixt went out with coat aud cap.
Hc came back about 10 o'clock. She
did not think Blixt went up stairs ar
tor he got back. He might have done
so. hut he went to bed. She noticed
he had been drinking.
AT the time BliXt had gone up stairs
ut Z o'clock Harry had come down. He
said, "Whcrcs the boss" Mrs. Blixt
said, Hes just gone out. dndn't you
meet him." He said, THAT'S so. l
met him." Harry then ran out the
back door, About IL o'clock Harry
came in again and went to our bed
room. He said, "Blixt, are you
asleep?" Then he came into the room
and said the water meter was leaking,
looking at BliXt as he went out.
"About 3 o'clock Harry came down
stairs again and ho]lered out aloud:
.Blixt, are you as'eep?' Then he said:
That girl on the fifth floor has been
murdered. she was murdered for her
money! he says. Some fellers OF
her for her money. Isn't that too bad?
I'm afraid my $1,000 is lost. l Won
der if I'd better go and tell the in=
surance people in the morning. And

got no clue"
Minneapolis, Feb. 9.-The first wit
ness in the Hayward murder trial was
Hans Barlow. Hans had been present
in the basement of he Ozark lats
when Blixt cut the T rail for Harry
Hayward. He was put on by the stat.
to corroborate Blixt's story of that
transaction. and did so without con-
tradicting Blixt in any important de-
tail. He had helped Blixt cut the rail
in two and he heard Harry Hayward
scold Blixt for cutting it instead Of
simply bending it. On cross-examina-
ton an admission was drawn from him
that he had served term in the work
house.
Claus Rlixt was again put on the
stand, and Mr.. Erwin, after long ques-
tioning as to the details of his story.
sprung a sensation. He asked him il
he had not, on Nov. 2, gone to the
Arnold hotel, on Central avenue, with
fxIyo oth fn1
'"Thats the biggest lie l ever heard"
exclaimed Blixt.
Mr.. Erwin questioned him closely,
but Blixt professed entire ignorance
about the alleged occurrence. The
hotel register was introduced in evil
dence, and Erwin asked Rlixt if the
signature Of "Arne w. Teller, Wally
City," wasn't written by him. Blixt
denied utterly that he had ever even
seen tile register. These questions
point to a theory of the defense that
the murder was the work of gang Of
green goods men, and that Hayward
had nothing to do with it.
Adry Appears.
Adry Hayward, the brother of the ac-
cused, made his first appearance in the
court room this afternoon. AS he took
his seat he shook hands in q cordial
manner with Blixt. Harry came in
a minute later, but did not cast q
glance toward the other two. Adry
half-rose in his chair as If he would
meet his brother, but, receiving no
recognition from Harry. he settled
back in his chair. A moment later he
got up and went 70 Harry. The two
shook hands, but Harry scarcely looked
at the brother. Adry appeared to feel
the slight, and without saying a word
he stepped back to his seat.
The witness, Blixt, was again placed
on the stand, and the cross-examina-
ton continued, but Attorney Erwin
did not follow up the hotel episode any
further. He carried Blixt back to the
night Of the murder, questioning him
closely as to the distance he drove after
shooting Catherine Cling, and his visit
to the Swede fagman's cabin on his
way home. Witness said he had been
acquainted with the fagman. He did
not find the flagman cat home" and
soon left the place. The witness was
questioned closely in regard to the
course taken in going down town.
This was tedious in the extreme, and
there were no material disclosures.
