her and they drove away. This point
Is about block from the West hotel,
whence Miss Cling started on her fate
full ride. The description given by
Grindall Of the man who joined her
does not at all fit Harry Hayward.
There was
A Wordy Quarrel
between the lawyers over Grindall's
testimony. The state had shown in
the cross-examination that the witness
character was not above reproach and
then In the redirect examination Mr..
Erwin attempted to show that the wit
ness had been bounded and prosecuted
by the police to get him to change his
testimony. These questions were stead
lily ruled out by the court as improper,
and finally the court found it necessary
to reprove Mr.. Erwin for his persistent
attempts to get the matter before the
jury.
"If the court pleases," said Erwin IN
a high key, 81 want to show the meth
DDS that have been used by persons on
the other side Of manufacturing and
suppressing evidence
Turning to County Attorney Nye,
he said: I'm going to hunt you out
and go through this thing
Nye half-rose in his chair, his face
as white us ashes, and glared at the
tall attorney for the defense.
"I'll follow you," he Kissed, Ito the
| ends of the earth. Don't talk to me of
manufacturing evidence. I'll show
| who has been manufacturing evidence
| in this casc."
II hope you WILL" shouted Erwin,
and Judge Smith was forced to inter-
rupt the colloquy, the participants in
which had assumed very threatening
attitudes. But the questions We're
vigorously excluded. Grindalls evil
| dence was somewhat shaken in the
cross examination.
The elusive third man. whom the
defense has been so earnestly chasing
thus bobs up again in Grindalls evil
dence. but in different guise from the
descriptions Of him limited at hereto
fore in the defense's evidence.

George Grindall resumed the stand
and said that efforts had been made
to corrupt his testimony by an at
torney. Charles Ebert. Ebert, he says
described to him what he must say on
the stand, trying to have short man
substituted for a rather important tall
man. Ebert had been representing
himself as one of Erwin's men. The
witness said he did not find out until
last Saturday that Ebert was working
for the states side Of the case. Then
he declares, he allowed him to go on
Last night, for the first time, he in
formed Mr.. Erwin of Ebert's opera
tons.
Julia +. Walker Of st. Paul testified
to having seen Miss Cling several times
in St. Paul with middle aged mar
who wore an iron gray moustache
Here Is the third man again. The de
scription given by this witness doe:
not tally with either that Of Wilson
or Grindall. The defense is now on thu
trail Of the third man.
Mrs. Abbie Lowell, wife Of a st
Paul police captain, was with Mrs
Walker at one time and she corrobor
ated her friend. Mr.. Nye tried tt
shake the witnesses testimony, blu
was unable to by close examination.
