Minneapolis, Feb. 9.-The state is
putting in a complete case, cOrroborat-
ing SO far as possible every point in
BEixt's remarkable story. The chain
of circumstances being woven around
Harry Hayward has grown more COM
plete. There were not many people
who supposed it would be possible to
SHOW the place, hOur and day of Hay
war rs purchasing a halfLpint bottle
of whiskey designed to furnish Blixt
with the nerve to do the murderOus
work. Yet after three witnesses had
corroborated the WhiSkey being pur-
chased, it was finally admitted by the
defense. Erwin said Harry would ac-
knowledge the purchase on the stand.
This is the first intimatiOn that Harry
would go On the stand. In the afternoon
j. w. WetherspOon, the elevator MAI
at the Oneida building, co%rroborated
the $1,000 note to Harry Hayward in
his office and how he had BliXt witness
the signature. Harry Spencer, waiter,
told how Harry Hayward and Miss
Cling came to the restaurant and Miss
Cling exhibited a large roll of money.
Louise Ireland, a niece of Miss Cling,
testified that Hayard was in Miss
Ging's rooms nearly every night but
his conduct was perfectly proper.
Minneapolis, Feb. 12.-In the Hay
ward murder trial Attorney Erwin
asked Adry Hayward to explain how
his brother acted when he told him
that he would hang if he persisted in
following out his scheme. Adry eX-
planned how his brother turned black
in the face with passion; how he had
bent toward him, and passed his fir
gers around his neck and over his
head.
In order to explain it more fully ard
make the witness appear ridiculous
before the experts, Mr.. Erwin asked
his to illustrate, and the witness
stepped easily from his chair to the
table at which Erwin and the pris-
oner sat. He went over the story
and explained his brothers actions.
AS he ben over his face vas only a
few feet from that of his brother and
facing him. Harry sat somewhat
limp in his chair leaning back, and
every eye was bent upon the scene,
over the form half raised from the
seat. There was a rustic of excite
ment about Harry. Look him in the
eye, Harry-look him in the eye cried
the prisoners mother, who was seat
ed near.

shook him and he reused himself and
leaning far over the table toward his
brother, his head ON his hands, be
tried 10 catch his brothers eye. Adry
was talking so rapidly and e~xciteily
that he did not see him, and Harry
could not catch his glance. He sli,
back in his chair and looked at hi:
mother, as if to say that he was no
equal to it. If that eye could contro
the elder brother in rhe past. it hat
grown powerless. The day was tlfe'
with exciting incidents.
The cross examination OF Adry wa
virulent and exhaustive. At time
Adry grew veXed n flung retorts a
the attorney: but II no time, however
did he show himself lacking mentally
In all the long examination he did no
contradict his original story told in tn
morning. Adry, however, made hardl
50 good a witness as BliXt for the res
son that he talked too much.
It has developed that extraordinary
precautions are being taken with tn
Hayward jury. In addition to thre
deputies always on duty with the jur,
two city policemen are detailed as G,
ira guard. Whenever the jury move
from one place TO another q Thereafter
ing crowd gathers and cries Of, Han
him, hang him." are heard on all side
In. view of these facts extra guar
