JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE
IN FLOYD KILLING
State Attempts 70 Prove Love OF MIS-
Rosa D. Hayes for Robert Floyd,
Her Victim.

WhiteVille, N. g., Marcl o.-4Ae
State apparently placed its trump card
in the prosecution of Mrs. Rosa D.
Hayes, her husband, n. M. Hayes, and
his brother Lloyd. for the murder OF
Robert M. Floyd, when they put Miss
Mary Holt on the stand and attempt
ed to establish the motive for the
crime. Miss Holt was subjected to a
most bitter and cruel cross-eamina-
ton by lawyers for the defense, which
she stood clamly and seemingly with
out being disconnected by the ques-
tons asked her.
The Motive.
The motive sought to, be establish
ed was that Of jealousy and love. Miss
Holt told of conversations heard while
she was a visitor at the Hayes home,
in which she claims Mrs. Hayes ex-
pressed her love for r1oyd and threat
ened that if her husband did not stop
fussing with her she would leave him
and study to be a trained nurse and
that Floyd would go with her, .<
When the lawyers for the defnse
began their cross-examination Of the
witness they questioned her as to her
character, and while she admitted that
she had heard runors that she had a
character as bad woman she denied
the truth of the rumors. She admitted
consulting physicians for complaint
but denied that it was of the nature
that was inferred by the questions of
the lawyers. She said physicians had
been unable to diagnose her trouble.
Whiteville, N. c., March THE
most interesting witness today in
trial of Mrs. Rosa D. Hayes, charged
with the murder of Robert Floyd,
young medical student of Charleston,
S. c., was Mrs. Minis, daughter Of the
editor of the local paper, who print
ed an interview with the defendant
after her Incarceration. Counsel for
the defense hotly contested the admis4
sibility of the testimony. In the in
terview the II year old wife and pris-
oner admitted that sac had been un-
usually friendly with her victim and
that as he lay dying he had called to
her in endearing terms.
The State further introduced wit
nessas to tell of trip the defendant
and her victim had taken last sum-
mer to a neighboring seaport town
where they spent the night at the
same hotel. ~. -
Eye witnesses swore that Mrs. Hay
es continued firing at Floyd after he
had fallen, and a physician testified
that he found nine outlets in Floydis
body. 49,.
The State has not yet succeeded
in showing motive FOR the crime,
though but few of the fifty witnesses
summoned have been examined.
The trial will probably consume the
week.

Whiteville. N. c.. March 6.-The,
jury that will decide the fate of Mrs.
Rosa Z. Hays, y. Il. I1ayes, her hus-
band, and Lloyd Hayes, who were
placed on trial here today to answer
the charge of having murdered Rob.
ert NJ. FLOYD, at Tabor, N. c., on the
evening of February 4, last is tonight
quartered al the Columbus hotel in
charge of deputies. Contrary to the
expectation Of every one the panel
was completed just before adjourn
ment late this afternoon.
In view of special venire Of 200
having been drawn and the defense
being allowed SO challenges, it had
been generally expected that tae
drawing of the jury would consume
all Of tc1ay. oCurt was not called till
this afternoon, Judge Cock, who spent
Sunday with his son in Charleston,
not having reached here till noon. In
view of the circumstances then the
completion Of the panel by tonight is
considered a marvel.
