Evidence Of Hayne Who Was Insane
from Broodtnd over the Case.
wINTERsET, IOWA-In the retrial OF
Mrs Hossack the state has succeeded IN
extracting important testimony from Wili
Hayne a neighbor. Hayne was often at
the home of the Hossacks and he testihes
that prior to the murder he talked with
Mrs Hossack, that she complained OF
the trea tment she was receiving from her
husband, and that one day she told Hayne
she wanted him "to finish him. allud-
ing to her husband.
. Hayne testified that Mrs. >Hossack
called on him several different times and
that the conversation was along substan-
TALLY the same line. Shortly after the
arrest of Mrs. Hossack and before the
trial in April, 1901, Hayne became insane
and was sent to Mount Pleasant hospital.
It is alleged his insanity was the result OF
his brooding over the murder Of Hossack
and his conversations with Mrs. Hossack
Hayne was discharged as cured in about
a year.
The defense will lay stress on his in
sanity and will thus endeayor to reduce
the value of his testimony

MORRIS. MINN.--An extraordinary &C
eident happened a night two ago by
which DR.. Charles E. Cainc lost a $3.50
buggy. He came from country drive
about midnight and drove into the livery
barn and turned his team and buggy over
to the hostler. In the morning when he
called for his team for another drive he
was told there was nothing to hitch it to.
his buggy having burned during the night.
When the day hostler came down in the
morning he found DR.. Gaines buggy in
ashes-except part of the running gear
and a large hole burned in the floor Of the
barn It is conjectured that the fire
started from the lantern, which was on
the dashboard but it is beyond comprehen-
sion how the buggy could have burned
without setting FIRE to the barn.
