MURDER
OF MISS CATHERINE GING.
RELUCTANTLY He TELLS OF HIS
CHECKERED CAREER AS
GAMBLER.

explanatory. These words explain the
aspect of Harry Hayward on the stand
this afternoon. In the morning he made
an ideal witness, but in the afternoon,
when his attorney began to lead him into
the details of the circumstances attending
the tragedy, he made bad impression.
In regard to the insanity theory regarding
Adry, if an expert were to contrast the
two, so far as appearances were concerned,
Harry would be the sufferer. He was ner-
vous and at times in his rambles of evil
dence his voice would sink away until it
was hardly audible. As whole, from the
testimony given by the witness, he has not
made any point for himself and his appear
ance told against him.
The most interesting part of his evil
dence was when he came to the part OF the
testimony which brought him to the day
of the murder. He was more hating and
uncertain than ever at this point, and his
evidence was a mixture of the testimony
of the eleyator-boy and Blixt.
Harry swore that on the night of the
murder he arrived at the Ozark at 6:45
o'clock. Then he told of doing an incredi-
BILE number of things before 1922, the time
he came out from supper and went to his
fiat. =
He had gone at 7:47 down Hennepin
avenue short distance, intending to go
to the rooms of Miss Cling, but retraced his
steps and went up to Laurel avenue, in
tending to call on a young lady. He then
remembered that he had an engagement
with Miss Bartelson to take her to the
theater. He followed this up by recount
ing his trip to Bartelson's residence, and
giving the time as the latter had sworn to
it. He was quite sure he was in the the
alter before the curtain went up.
When Harry Hayward was called he
took the stand with his arms folded and
his teeth set. He declared, in answer to
questions, that the testimony of Blixt and
Adry Hayward was false He said he
knew the reason his brother testified
falsely against him, and Erwin asked him
to explain. The prosecution objected and
the objection was sustained. Erwin asked
did your brother have any fear of you for
| the reason that you might make disclos-
ures about him?''
"Yes, sir" responded Harry.
The answer was ruled out.
s'Now, you have heard Adry say he had
never seen Miss Cling. Did he ever see
her?'
"He did. 1T was on the narrow, dark
road between Nicollet avenue and Lake
Calhoun. He could not see her very we'll,
but he knew she was there"
"Was he alone with her2''
"He was not"
"Who was with him?'
II would rather not tell, unless it is
necessary. The young lady is here in the
city,
"What is her name2 1t will be neces-
sary to know it,
"Miss Veddar. They were both with
him."
Nye objected strenuously to anything
| further on this line, and was sustained by
| the court.
81 tell you," said Judge Smith, lit is an
| insult to this court when you know what
you are proposing to show has been ruled
| out by this court to try to bring it in in
another way"
II mean no disrespect," said Erwin,
| ''and do not think deserve rep1oof."
ssNow turning to the witness), I will
ask you about your relations with Miss
| Cling"
"Well," said Harry, 81 was introduced
| to Miss Cling, think, in January, 1894, by
| Mr.. Speaker at clearinghouse. l met
her at first perhaps as often as once
week. After while met her as often as
| twice week. From July and August on
| to December we were what you might call
| lovers, l suppose"
snow, I'll ask you if at any time while
you were lovers there were improper
relations existing between you of any
sort?'
mo, sir; she was true and noble girl
to the best of my belief, both toward me
and toward everybody else.'
Hayward said he had "gambled high
and lost" He admitted that he had tried
| to keep it from the public, but his friends
all knew it. He said he had gambled in
almost every city in the country.
He named San Francisco, Los Angeles,
San Diego and Cheyenne among the places
he had visited. Miss Cling knew he gam
bled and took part in faro game herself
