A Hack Driver (xives Evidence Sup- porting Adry’s Story.- THE PLANS OF THE DEFENSE Harry Hayward \Vill Probably Be the First Important \Vitness In His Own Be- half—\Vill Show That He Real- ly Lost Money In Chicago. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. .14.—The state in winding up its case of murder against Harry Hayward today delivered a body blow which staggered the defense. The first witness introduced this morning' was none other than Peter Vallalle, the hack- man of whom Harry had spoken to Adry as being willing ,to assist in the proposed crime. Vallalio's testimony was most dam- aging to the defense, as it corroborated in a striking way one portion of Adry Hay- ward’s remarkable story, and thus ren- dered thoroughly untenable the defense’s pet theory as to Adry’s sanity. " Mr. Erwin’s objection having been over- ruled, Vallalio said: “Harry had a talk with me at the Ozark about 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning in my carriage. He ques- tioned me as to my conscience and wheth- er it would follow me. He asked me about driving into a lake with some one in the hack and then jumping off and leaving them go. I told him I was no swimmer. . He then asked me if the team waslfrac< tious, and I told him it was. He asked me what Iwanted for the team, and I told him. He asked me if I cared what became of the team after I sold it. I told him I did not. He then asked me if the team running away would do up the whole rig, and I said it would.” “What did you understand by this ques- tion ?” “If my conscience would hurt me. I understood him to mean if I would kill somebody. and I told him I would not have anything to do with any one that would kill or hurt anybody, not if I knowed it. ” “Did he mention any place near a lake to drive oil?” “Yes, he spoke of the bluff near Lake Calhoun. ” This is the first corroboration of the sta- ries of Blixt and Adry obtained from an entirely outside source and exhibited in a striking manner Hayward’s strangely careless way of asking incriminating ques- tions and making damaging statements. That a man capable of concocting so cun- ning and intricate a plot should have made so many confidants seemed almost as in- credible as that he should have concocted the plot at all. Erwin’s Efforts Futile. Mr. Erwin at once recognized the su~ preme importance of this testimony and tried to have it stricken out entirely. The court, however, refused to sustain his ob- jection, and the evidence goes to the jury. It was a knockout blow reserved by the state until the very last and badly upset the defense’s plans. The defense had many of its witnesses in court ready for use when the state should rest. Among them _was Harry Goodsell, the young Chi- cago blood by whom it is expected to prove that Harry Hayward did actually lose in Chicago the money given him by Miss Ging for the gambling excursion. Hay— ward’s family. whose skeleton had been so publicly dragged forth from its closet yes- terday, did not appear in court. and their evidence will not be called for until late in the trial. It is believed, however, that Harry Hayward himself will be one of the first witnesses put on by Mr. Erwin. The opening address for the defense is to be made by John Day Smith, Mr. Er- win h'aving decided to reserve his fire- Works for the jury’s benefit until the close of the trial. ‘ More Points Against Harry. Simon Gittleson, a pawnbroker, told of loaning Harry $170 on the three diamond rings that have figured in the testimony. While the transaction was being con- cluded Harry had “flashed a roll.” the amount of money in which Gittleson could not determine. Harry often came to him for “lucky money” to use as a stake in gambling. Emma Goodale, a trance medium, do- ing business under the name of Mme. Pe« terson, was an interesting witness. Harry had come to her alone and asked her to tell Miss Ging when that lady should call that she would win at gambling. She de< murred, but he told her if she would do as he asked she would never lack for money. Against the advice of her husband she con- sented to do as Harry asked. Accordingly, when Miss Gin g came with Harry, she told her that she would be very lucky at cards for three or four days, and then would lose if she played. The next day Harry came and told her that on the strength of her advice Miss Ging had let him have $550 to go to Chicago and gam- ble with. Harry had told her of other amounts he had secured from Miss Ging, amounting in all to $1.875. Mr. Erwin asked her if she knew what she said or did while in her tranccs. She replied that she did not. He proceeded to ask some other questions about the science of clairvoyancy, but they were shut out by the state’s ob- jections. She denied being acquainted with Adry, but' knew the father of the boys. Patsy Garrity, a well known local faro dealer, threw some light on Harry Hay- ward’s gambling operations in Minneapo- lis and Chicago. On Nov. 3 Harry had met him on the street, and. complaining that the limit was too low in the Minne- apolis gambling houses, proposed a trip to Chicago, where it was higher. Garrity agreed to go if Hayward would furnish the transportation. He was given a $20 bill. When they arrived in CI icago, they found everything was shut up. Garrity intended to return the next day, but missed his train and came on the second day. He found Harry on the train. They talked of Monte Carlo and other gambling topics. and then Harry had shown him a large package of money in his coat pocket. just aflash of it, asking if he would not like some of it.

H., Feb. 14,—This place was the scene of a most mysterious and determined attempt at murder this morn- ing. Frank Emit-h, owner of extensive greenhouses, was engaged in watching the furnace in the boiler room in his greenhouse at 2:30 this morning. His attention was suddenly attracted by a slight noise. and almost instantly there came a flash of burning powder and a re- port which nearly deafened him. A re- VOlver had been fired within three feet of his head and so clOse that the flash burned and singed his hair. He grappled with his assailant and at the same instant saw another man standing at .the head of the stairs. There was a sharp struggle, dur- ing which three more shots were fired, one of which passed through his arm. and a second went so close to his check as to burn the skin. The first shot had gone‘ through his cap. At last. he succeeded in breaking away, and seizing a shovel at- tacked his would be murderouwho seemed to be powerless to discgargc his weapon again. He brought the shovel down with a crash upon the stranger’s head, felling him to the floor. It was at this moment that the second man came to the assistance of the first, and springing down thovstairs he grappled with Smith. What followed even Mr. Smith has but a faint recollec— tion of. He remembers grappling with the man, and of being engaged in a fierce struggle, and of receiving countless blows, and of feeling the keen edge of a knife slashed across his back, and then engaging in a wild chase down the length of the greenhouse after his assailants, who were in full flight. He then in turn was flee- ing toward his home, which is but ashort distance away.
