THE MURDERER OF CATHERINE
GING ON TRIAL.
FroRress OF the Celebrated Murder
Case at MinncaDolix-'rhc Defense
Produces Witnesses in Support Of
the THIRD Man Theory.
Minneapolis. Feb. IS. When tho
trial of the Hayward murder case was
resumed 1t was announced that Coun-
ty Attorney Nye could not be present
owing to q funeral in the family, and
the defendant, who was still on the
witness stand, WAS turned over to the
tender mercies OF Assistant County
Attorney A. H. Hall for c:oss-eNamin-
alton. Mr.. Hall plunged at once into
the questions Of tn. various loans
made by Hayward to Miss Cling. the
aim Of his questions apparently being
to show that Harry lent the dressmak-
er money freely without security and
in loose and unbusinesslike manner
Harry's connection with the loan Miss
Cling made on the -four mill ut Hamel,
and the collection Of the loss when it
suddenly burned was thoroughly in
vestigated and Harry was asked
whether he had not driven out to
Hamel with Miss Cling the morning
after the fire. This he denied utterly.
This and other questions We're asked
for Impeachment purposes, the state
proposing to show on rebuttal that
Harry is not telling the truth Har-
ry described how he had turned the
lOs given him by his father. into cash,
first by mortgages and then by dis
posing of the equity to Mr.. Stewart.
The proceeds had been nearly $4,000,
and this he had partially lost ut gam
bling while the rest he had given to
Adry' in q sealed envelope and it was
put in the safe. He declared that the
most money he had ever lost at one
sitting was $500, at the Twin City
Athletic club.
The Hold Up Story
was gone into in the afternoon. and
Mr.. Hall used inuendo to show that it
was Harry who had been the prime
mover in that affair. In fact he asked
him if he had not told Adry once that
he had planned it. that song was to
be the signal, but that the man who
did 1t was such bungler that the
women had time to hide their money
and valuables. Harry denied it point
blank. He admitted that he did not
want the matter reported to the police,
but that was on Adry's account. He
had kept the watch out Of sight for
months so that Adry's wife might not
see it and thus wonder how he got it
after it had been stolen from him.
This closed the cross-eXamination.
Then came the states triumph.
Harold G. Stevens was put on the
stand. He swore that OH the night of
the murder he was in company with Il
friend, n Mr.. Wood, and were coming
from the Lake of the Isles to Lake
Calhoun on o. cross-road. and they
saw a buggy coming along at brisk
gait from the lake toward town. He
looked in it closely and saw man sit
ting in the middle of the buggy who
had a light moustaol1e and beard.
Here was the man seen by Grindall
again. When questioned by the state
the witness stated that he saw young
couple on Lake street, and he and his
companion walked on the side of the
street where there was no sidewalk.
He knew the young man whom Miss
Brown stated was with her at that
time, but stated that he did not recog-
AlAt I'LL, d1luOuSu liz puSSeu very
close to the couple. The court put in
q question which made it appear
strange that he could see the man IN
the rig and note his features when he
could not recognize one of his own
friends.
His companion stated that he stood
q trife nearer the rig than his friend
and noticed it particularly. The light
from an electric lamp shone upon it,
but the curtains and top to the rig so
darkened the interior that he could not
see the mans face. The picture on
his mind was that of the light shining
On pair Of taut lines. He could not
even see the mans hand, it was so
dark in the buggy. He could not say
what kind Of a buggy it was nor de-
scribe the horse. He swore that Stew
ems had never stated to him after the
murder that he could see or describe
The features Of that man who was
driving so rapidly on that lonely road. +,
He corroborated the fact of the meet
ing Of the young couple. and stated
that when he heard the testimony of !
The two young people for the defense
be thought at once that he and his
friend were the suspicious characters
referred to.
