Murdered Woman Was Dressed.
MISSEAPoLIs, Feb. a6.-Harry Hay
ward, the defendant in the murder trial,
resumed the stand at the opening Of the
court. He had evidently been cautioned
by Mr.. Erwin not to be too prolix in his
evidence and showed disposition to con-
dense his testimony. His narrative was
resumed at the point where he returHcd
to the Ozark after the theatre and first
heard the news that there had been an ac-
cident- He had difficulty in persuad.ng
Goosman, the liveryman, who was teie-
phoning about it TO police headquarters,
who was killed. He thought it was Miss
Cling or Misc Ireland, and when finally
he learned that it was Miss Cling he be-
came greatly excited.
II thought of all our relations" he
said, ''and how i had lent her money. I
remembered that she had often asked me
to lend her my revolver, and as 1 thought
the matter over became convinced that
she had been murdered. l don't know
what l said to the people there or at the
police station. I'd rather you'd take
their story for that, as it is probably
true.
Very Much Excited.
L
the officers that she had ON a blue dress
skirt and not 4 black one because knew
it must be SO. There are about sixty
days in October and November. During
these sixty days l had probably seen her
ninety times, and am sure that out of
the ninety times there were eighty-seven
when she had on skirt waist and a
blue skirt. That was why l spoke as l
did,
This testimony is fair sample of the
prolix explanations to which the de-
fendant seems prone. Mr.. Erwin then
asked him to describe his experience in
the sweat box" and despite Mr.. Nye's
objections he was allowed to dc SO. He
said he went down town the morning
after the murder and.was met by a de-
tective who asked him to go to the chiefs
office. He did so and was there under n
constant fire Of questions all day. He
would tell his qucstioners let of things,
they would go out and find them all
true, and Il fresh squad of inquisitors
would take their places.
shown the Dead Body.
Hayward described how he was taken
to the morgue and shown the dead body
with everybody watching him. He didn't
know what he did, but sGid he felt very
bad and knew every one there thought
him guilty. He went to Miss Ireland Of
fcring to do anything about the funeral he
could. He ordered some roses from a
florist and attended tho funeral. On
Thursday he ana Adry were arrested and
put in cell together. Adry seemed very
down in the mouth and Harry had said to
him: We're not guilty. What's the use
OF feeling this way?" But Adry was dis.
prited ana finally Harry had said: "Adry,
what is this? You held her up once. Did
you have any anything to do with this:"
Adry was silent and refused to talk any
mure. After that there was no further
conversation between them.
Will Lead to Ventilation.
This evidence caused n flutter of excite
ncnt. 1t brought in the story whicn on
Thursday had been ruled out By the court
Co the effect that Adry was the masked
highwayman who last April had held up
and robbed Harry, Mis- Cling and Miss
Neddcr while they were out riding. The
fact that the charge was thus brought be-
fore the jury will probably lead to the
ventilation of the whole episode. Adry
1t is understood, will go ON the stand and
deny the story with an alibi. Mr.. Erwin
next read the discriminating evidence of
BliXt to the defendant witness and drew
from him explicit denials of the charges
made by Blixt. The same course was
followed with Adry's testimony, and this
took good deal of time 1t is not ex-
reached before another day.
