CASE OF THE STATE
Evidence of the Prosecution IN
the Hayward Trial Is
All Given.
STRONG CASE AGAINST HARRY.
Nothing Loft Undone to Con-
vict the Accused OF the
Murder.

ness for the state in the Hayward muir
der trail has been examined and at $3.50
o'clock the county attorney sald' al
dressing the court, THE state rests
here"
The announcement created ripple OF
surprise, but there really remained
nothing to add to the avalanche OF cor.
roborative evidence which has swept
awav the puny barriers thrown up oy
the defense. The remarkable story
which Attorney Hall said he would
prove in his opening address has been
told by the chief actor in that bloody
narrative. 1t has been corroborated by
the scathing testimony of the accused
mans own brother, and the extraoroi.
nary story he was constrained 10 ten
has been corroborated by dozens OF W.T.
nesses.
The case as it stands fits Harry hay
ward like q glove. And however much
that individual may smirk and smile
and affect indifference, it will require
proof little short of the miraculous 10
save his neck from the halter.
Miss Ging's Last Remarks.
The sensation of the day was when
the state called Mrs. Lillian Hazleton TO
the stand. Mrs. Hazleton was friend
Of Catherine Ging's and is perhaps the
last person with whom she held any
considerable conversation on the night
of the murder. The ladies met IN Hale
& Thomas dry goods store on Nlcollet
avenue at about 4:30 in the afternoon
and were together for half an hour In
the course Of that conversation the
name of Harry Hayward was men,
toned. Mrs. Hazleton asked Miss cling
to supper, and her reply, given in care
less. friendly confidence, connected her
lover inextricably with her cruel muir
der. She said: II cannot go; have
business engagement with Mr.. hay
ward"
Characterization failed to shake
Mrs. Hazleton's recollection OF the time,
place or exact conversation.
Peter vallalie's Testimony.
The first witness introduced was
Peter Vallalie, the hackman of whom
Harry Hayward had spoken to Adry as
being willing to assist in the proposed
crime. Vallalie's testimony was most
damaging, as it corroborated in most
striking way one portion OF Adry Hay
wards remarkable story, and thus
rendered thoroughly untenable the
defense's pet theory as to Adry's
sanity. Vallalie testified that Harry
Hayward had approached him with
questions as to whether he had ever
"done anything" and if so whether his
conscience had bothered him. Hayward
had later asked Vallalie whether he
would drive hack into Lake Calhoun
and let the occupant drown for a sum of
money.
II told him was no swimmer" said
Vallalie, land that was about the end
of it
First Outside Confederation.
This is the first confederation of the
stories of Blixt and Adry obtained from
an entirely outside source, and exhibited
in striking way Hayward's strangely
careless way of asking discriminating
questions and making damaging state
ments. That a man capable Of concoct-
ing so cunning and intricate a plot
should have made so many confidants
seems almost as incredible as that he
should have concocted the plot at all.
Mr.. Erwin at once recognized the SUI
preme importance of this testimony
and tried to have it stricken out
entirely. The court, however, refused to
sustain his objection, and the evidence
goes to the jury. 1t was knock out
blow reserved by the state until the
very last, and sadly upsets the defense's
