of this defendant will be demon
strated to you with an absolute GER
tainty. I am mindful of this, that
if any overzealousness appears on
the part of the state it will be more
than overmatched by the shrewd
and careful genius of the attorneys
who have charge of the defense. 1
am glad that this defendant is able
to bring counsel who is SO able to
defend his every interest. All that
money and pains can do will be
done.
1.-THE honored court in this case,
who will instruct you in the law, sits,
above all prejudice and tumult in
the case, and will prevent any bias.
AS to the defendant, I am satisfied
that the awful load which is on his
soul will have but one desire, that
the fatal moose shall expiate his
horrible crime. If he has not
learned in the past that God is
Knocked, 1 think ere this trial is fin
ished he will learn that as he has
sown so shall he reap"
After this opening Mr. Hall took
up the Indictment and slowly and
effectively read that paper to the
jury.
eff there is either one of the two
more guilty than the other, said he,
Il think you will find that the de-
PENDANT here is more guilty than the
red-handed murderer who struck
the fatal blow.
Nov let us see who Catherine
Cling was. She had dressmaking
parlors in the Syndicate block, and
among her patrons were the better
class of people. She was ambitious
to rise. The ladder by which she
sought to rise to social position was
paved with gold. In some way he
gained her confidence. He was a
gambler then. He has been a gam
bier ever since.

HE did win her confidence to such
an extent that little by little the
bulk of her earnings, $500 by S1OO.
was given to him. We know not all
the steps, but certain it is that little
by little he secured all she had. 1t
will be shown you that last August
Harry Hayward and his brother
went to Ramel to try to get the
mortgage at the mill paid 1t was in
some way ascertained that the mill

according to Hayward's lucky star.
and he secured all but $1,000 of that
money.
The 1st of November the balance,
which had been placed on another
mortgage, was caShed in at a dis
count, and Hayward took that money
to Chicago, and claimed to have lost
it Nov. 8. 1t will be shown to you
that not one cent did Hayward lose
in Chicago through gambling. He
came back to Minneapolis in reality
with a wad of money in his pocket
which he was careful to show
Catherine Cling was an honorable
woman, but was enticed along the
road he Travelled through her desire
to gain wealth. 1t seems a pitiful
thing.
''At about $50 in this city a be-
lated workman, going home, alighted
from a car at the road which turns
from Lake street at the summit of
the hill and goes out toward Mime
tonka. He passes a buggy going
rapidly by him. He goes farther on
where the road goes through a tam
arack swamp; he finds the body of a
woman. There, but a moment before,
the spirit of Catherine Cling had left
her body"
With this beginning Mr.. Hall de-
scribed the finding of the body and
it's return to the city. The appear
ance of the body was described
infinitely. 1t was thought that death
was the result of an accident, and
that the runaway horse was re-
sponsible. Up to II o'clock that
was believed. At that time Coroner
Spring reached the morgue, and, TAX
ing out the protruding eye, found the
bit of lead behind it. Turning the
head the singed hair was found.
ut will be shown you, however,
continued Mr.. Hall, that at least
one man had known about it. Harry
Hayward had gone to the theater
that night. 1t was 1 o'clock when he
got to the Ozark flats. The livery
man had gone to the fats to tell him
that the horse and buggy had come
home. When Harry was told of it,
the first thing he said was: Why,
that's Miss Cling. She's been MUIR
dered. She's been murdered for her
money. Some ones been trying to do
me up
Instead Of expressing any sympa-
thy, the first thing that passed his
lips was actuated by the selfish and
sordid motives of the man. Muir
dered for her money! trying to do
me up
Mr. Hall Is Impressive.
Mr.. Hall then adverted to the hor-
rible physical condition Of the muir
dered woman, the brutal blows Of

lay in deaths embrace in the county
morgue. 1t had been claimed that
the tell-tale marks had been made
by fall from the buggy in which
she took her ride-rode to her death.
Evidence would be submitted to OBJ
literate every vestige Of such the
Dry.
Gentlemen" continued the attor-
ney, with great elaboration, I'VE will
convince you that Harry Hayward
made the remarks imputed to him
on that fatal night-that he began
then and there to inquire in regard
to Catherine Ging's life insurance
He dwelt at length on the circum-
stance of Hayward's eagerness to
throw off suspicion on the night of
Dec. 8, and said that every move
ment of the suspected man was a
part of a long-devised plan. Mr..
Hall believed that Hayward had in
duced her, by some means, to make
remarks which would tend to de-
ceive her niece.
