To Defend Hayes.
The telegram from the brother simply
asks the under sheriff for the name of
the lawyer employed to defend Hayes.
The brother evidently intends to COM
municate with Hayes counsel. The tele-
grams sent east, addressed to Hayes
father, have never been answered.

Eating His Breakfast.
Hayes was eating his breakfast from a
shelf in the corridor when seen, and he
answered the questions put to him read
lily and nationally.
Hayes has a military history, accord
ing to his own statement. He claims to
have been a member of the famous 69th
New York regiment Of infantry, al one
time. He saws that he belonged to Cap
tain Develin's company. Asked about
that, this morning he said:
Yes; I was member Of the Goth reg
iment."
You were a corporal, I understand"
mo; I was a sergeant in company H."
he replied.
He passed one term of service in the
regiment, he said. and if his story is
true, he must have displayed some merits
to reach the position of sergeant.
He has directed man here to write to
his brother and request the latter to APP
peal to his old comrades of the Goth to
raise funds for his defense, and that fact
is an indicat on that his story is
true. He is placing some reliance upon
the regiment helping him.
Hayes will be arraigned to plead in
Judge McClernan's court on Monday
morning, and, as he now has counsel,
some advance in his case will be made
then probably. His trial on the charge
of murder will take place with other
trials of offenders charged with felonies
in a short time.
