MISS GING AND HAYWARD.
The Relations Which Existed Be-
tween The PEir

The Relations Which Existed Be-
tween the Pair.
Gentlemen, before we examine fur
Their the testimony concerning what
tranSpired on that night, let us look
back to what precedes the night of
Dec. 3, and get in our minds, refreshed
by the testimony, the relation which
existed between Harry Hayward and
Miss Cling
Hayward says he met the girl In jan
uary, and 1 believe he claims that no
gambling tranactions were entered in
to until spring. He testified that in
April their relations became quite init
mate, in business way at least; that
they continued to increase in May, in
creased in June and July, and take it
up until Dec. g. although he claims he
did not know of her gambling s-stcr
July.
Let us glance at the testimony of the
witnesses outside of Hayward, in point
of time. Let me first call your atten-
ton to the testimony of that clairvoy-
ant, for her testimony covers a period
of time from April down to December.
She says, and Hayward's testimony
does not contradict it, that both he and
she were visiting this trance medium
constantly, very frequently, many
times week, mainly concerning these
gambling transactions. And call your
attention to the fact that her testi-
mony shows that, down to the latter
part of November, Miss Cling was still
infatuated with gambling and was still
investing her money, under the direc-
ton of Harry Hayward, in gambling
transactions.
Let's glance at her testimony and
what is its substance; she says he first
visited her May Z, came a good many
times afterwards, sometimes regularly
every day; mentioned that two ladies
awould come-"he told me that they
/ had been in some place, but could not
say where they We're, and some of the
ladies had won S. and the other lady,
Miss Cling, had won S25, and the other
lady won five. / think he said that
this one he gave five to won seven and
a half dollars, something like that, 1
won't say positively, and the other
| lost. He said he wanted me to tell Miss
Cling different things Q. What did he
want you to tell her? A In that way
| that she could win more than in
gambling. @. What further did he
say? A. Well, he said, I think SO, and
! he told me never to tell it to anybody,
I and / promised not to; and then Harry
| told me her name, and l forgot that,
and he wanted me to write it out, and
II did it. And that Harry promised me
ESQ much money. Q. How much? A.
Fl could not say. @. Can you remem-
! Der about how much? A. He told me
/ never would be wanting for money,
! anyhow. Q. What for? A. If l would
! would help him out that way, he could
! get money to gamble with; went out
| to the kitchen and told my husband
| about it, and he Said,s Whatever you
| do, don't do it; if you give anybody q
| sitting, give them a solid sitting or
nothing and that is what l did. Q.
! Without going over the whole proceed
| ing, will ask you to state what Harry
| said, if anything, to you after that,
, with regard to his business relations
with Miss Cling? A. First, he said, the
next day he came back; think it was
the next day he came back, and he
said to me, You told in my favor he
said, and Miss Cling the same time.
He came back the next day, and he
said, She will have good luck for three
or four times, and after that she will
be in bad luck. That is as
near as can remember. q.
Was there any occasion in which
money was paid there in your presence?
A. Yes. One day Miss Ging-I think
Harry was going to Chicago, and he
came down there and Miss Cling said.
Now, Harry, here is $500; you do the
best of it, Quite late in the fall, she
felt awfully discouraged, and said,
Madam, you discourage me- Q. Did
Harry at any time state to you how
much money he had got from her? A
Yes; late in the fall he said he got 1,375;
that is, as near as / can remember"
He testifies himself, by the way, that
he thinks Miss Cling put in at least
$1,000 in the gambling enterprise. 20.
Did he tell you at any time prior to
that any particular amounts of money
that he had got from her? A. Yes;
one time he got $3.50, one time s25, and
one time he got $50; that is as close as
1 can remember the amounts. @. Did
he tell you anything further about how
he was fixed financially? A. Yes, sir;
one time he came back from Chicago
and said he han had bad luck; said he
was broke; said he did not have any
AuOiiSy, anu Sdlu 4hiSS 1lliS SOIuS
property, but she couldn't get any
money out of it; there was no insur-
ance, no way of getting money out of
it. That is as near as / can tell it.
There was something about a mill; he
went to Chicago twice, once in the
summer and once in the fall; the con-
versation regarding his financial condi-
ton was when he returned the second
! time
Ii Now, there is, in substance, the tes-
| timony of that woman, and it betrays a
wicked heart, a criminal heart, in
{ Hayward. 1t is manifest and open
attempt at the very start to drive this
poor woman, who claimed to have some
gift or faculty of telling the future, in
order that he might bleed that poor
woman of her money for gambling pur-
iDposes. And 1 tell you, gentlemen, you
can consider this testimony in connec-
ton with it-and my understanding, Of
1T is that he hardly denies any sub
ssstance of it, any material part of tie
testimony of that woman. 1t shows,
gentlemen of the jury, that she was
the dupe, the absolute tool and servant
of his will and his power. It was
cruelty beyond all power of descrip-
ton.
Aye, for months, gentlemen, for
months, he is making that woman her
self the instrument of her final death,
her final murder. Unconscious, unwil-
ling victim of his plans and devices,
step by STEP until she has lost all and
Hayward sees himself financial
wreck and begins to devise one of the
most wickd plans ever heard of in the
history of criminal law.
About the next in point of time is
the testimony of the hack driver, Peter
Vallaley. His testimony relates maialy
to a time in July. Gentlemen, there is
dark, suspicious and mysterious scene
In this awful testimony. For half or
three-quarters of an hour, between 8
and 4 o'clock in the morning, after
Vallaley had driven Hayward and other
