MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 9.-"Guilty
as charged were the fatal words Of the
verdict which terminsted the Hayward
murder trial yesterday afternoon. Er-
win talked for another hour in the morn
ing, then Judge Smith charged the jury
and sent the twelve men out, at q rev
minutes past II o'clock, IL three hours
the verdict mad been determined upon.
A little before = o'clock the report
spread that the jury had agreed on YER
dict, Judge Smith fastened to the co. .rt-
room, the prisoner was brought IN and
the Jury summoned. When :. udee Smith
arrived he issued strict ,rders to ADM r
no one, and the injur .ction was religie MS
ly observed.
Kobler, t. - deputy clerk, asked in a
tremulo As voice whether the jury had
asrf> I'd upon a verdict, and Neil Mcneil,
nc foreman, stood up His face was
CHASTITY in is color, and there was not
a man on tie jury unaffected by the gray
ity of the situation.
1--WE have agreed said Mcneil, in a
voice that was scarcely audible, and the
! folded piece of paper that meant life or
death to the accused was handed to the

demned man. There was nothing in his
face to indicate that he had heard a
word of it. He threw his head back as
the word guilty was pronounced, but
it was only to adjust his collar-band
| He did not change color by single
shade. Twice he coughed, them looking
around at the crowd, he raised his eye
brows, inquiringly, as though to ask
What next?
Then the court announced that sen
tence would be deferred until Monday
morning. Hayward was evidently
pleased. He expressed the opinion while
being removed from the courtroom that
the verdict was an outrage and that he
was long way from the hangman yet
At 2:45 Hayward was taken down
stairs and led back to Jail under strong
police guard. In the belief that trouble
might occur if the verdict exOnerated
I-&yward, a force of officers had been
detailed to duty at the courtroom and vi
cinity. An immense crowd awaited the
prisoners coming. He grinned at the
mob as it pushed forward over the pave
ment toward him, and it is doubtful
whether Harry Hayward would have re-
GREETED an opportunity to settle matters
with some OF the noisiest. He was taken
across the street on Il tot, with the yell
ing multitude at bis heels.
Afer finishing his closing arguments,
Attorney Erwin. Hayward's counsel col
lapsed and his condition is very serious.
Following close upon the heels of the
verdict in the Hayward trial, another SEN
sat:on was sprung when warrants were
sworn out against two of the witnesses
for tbs, defense, charging them with per-
jury. The warrants were sworn out by
Attorney r. r. O'Dell against Maggie
Wachtler, formerly bis stenographer'
and George A Grndall. The former is
charged with perjuring herself in that
part of her testimony in which she sNore
that Blixt in his statement to Mr., C'De1
before the trial, began to relate story N
which he charged Adry Hayward with
conspiring with him to murder Catharine
Cling. Grindall testified regarding the
mysterious and, it is believed, fictitious
third" man.
