BUXTS NOVEL DEFENSE Hypnotism Will be Argued as an Excuse for Murder. CASE AGAINST THE HAYWAEDS. The Father of the Accused Men Declares That His Song Will be Acquitted, and That Adry's Confession Will be Satis 1 factorlly explained.

Minneapolis. Dec. 19. W. W.

Hay-ward, Harry's father, today declared that hoth of 'his sons would be cleared, that Blixt was confessedly a notorious liar, and that his various confessions would have -no weight. He added that the evidence was that Blixt was in the power of a franff, and committed the crime under their dictation, with the understanding that if discovered it should be ascribed to Harry Hayward. This gang, be added, was nut composed of Minneapolis people. Mr. Hayward refused to account for the behavior of Adrian, the older brother, saying it would bo explained later.

Mrs. Claus A Blixt yesfcorday made a long and succient statement to R. R. O'Dell, her husband's attorney, the purport of which was that she had long known of the immense influence exerted ovnr her husband by Harry Hayward. She had tried in vain to counteract it.

Bli'xt said several times that Hayward we'oid be the doatb of him, and that he dared not to dis obey him. Just before the crime Blixt wentaroimd like a man in a dream. It was hard to attract his attention and his memory became defective. Hayward impressed on Blixt what he had to do many times a day, and kept the idea of tho crime constantly before him, according to the wife's statement. ft This evidence is to lie used in connection with that of Blixt's father and brother to show that the man was of a temp-erament most to an influence that approached the hy pii jt? ir 'ta chariuster a question as to whether one ili permit testimony of a hypnotic character, but the defensa will make a strong effort to show at least that Blixt was not a frea moral agent when he committed the crime, his line of defense will make the trial a most novel ono in criminal annals.

"It seems a shame that any child should be deprived of the pleasure that these little things bring to their hearts, and especially when they "can be purchased for such a trifle." This was the natural reflection of a Post scribe as he stood in front of Bailey's Bazaar, on Kaighn avenue, admiring the grand display of toys and novelties. No wonder the children are attracted here and stand gszing upon the pretty objecs with a strange delight that cannot be concealed. It is likely this is whre they have been when they come home'with heart and tongue full of what they want Kris to bring them.

Bailey's never showed a larger and b-tter stock than they do this year.

He said he had just arrived from Oregon but was in financial difficulties and needed assistance badly. Tnis was generously furnished him until his benefactors found him to be a fraud and a beat of the meanest description. i( Proceedings were about to be instituted him, but he evaded apprehension by crossing the feiry to this I city.

Tho Missing Lawyer Has Been Here Nearly a Week- -f TELLS THESTQEY OF HIS ESCAPE Looked Up in tie Danjeerous Ward for Five Days, He Was Nearly Driven Wild by the Maniacs' Ravings. R. Jones Monaghan, the supposedly iosane lawyer and politician, who escaped from Friends Insane Asylum at Frankford last Thursday, after sixteen daj s' incarceration, has' been staying quietly at the West Jer3ey Hotel for the past week.

Although the Philadelphia police have been making every effort to find him, yet Mr, Monaghan said when seen last evening at his hotel that-Superintendent Linden had known of his whereabouts for the last fcur days, as he had written him a letter stating where he was staying, and asking that the detectives who were friends be taken off. To thiB he fays he had a reply. Mrs. Monaghan yesterday signed an order releasing her husband from the care of the asylum, so that he is now free. Mr.

Monaghan, in speaking last evening, talked in a perfectly sane manner and did not show any outward effects of his late unpleasant experience. Speaking of the question of his sanity, he tells the following story: 'The first trouble began on November 20 I had just gotten down to iny law L'ihces in the Lafayette Hotel and was opening my u.ail and getting ready to see the four or' five clients waiting for me, when in walked two physicians frtm West Chester, one of whom was a personal friend. One of them said suppose ycukhow what we are hear for I answered that I did not, and i hey said that they had a paper signed by my wife, asking that I be committed io some quiet asylum until I regained my normal mental condition, and that they had come down to examine me, as to enable thtm to make out a certificate of committal. Well, they made no examination of me, a kad me no questions, and deliberately committed me to tb.H insane when they had not seen me for sixteen days, and knew nothing of my mental or uhysical condition. They even refused io nllow me ft) see the clients waiting ior me, and would not let me finish my mail.

I got mad and used uiauj hard words, but finally proposed that should all go to see Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, and agreed to do just as he should advise me. after he had examined me. They apparently fconeented, and we walked down into the lobby of the hotel, where we were joined by Special Rice, who had the warrant for my arrest.

We walked out Walnut street UDtil we came to Fifteenth, when they tried to lead me down the Fifth dittnct ftation house. I protested, and said that this was not the way to Dr. Mitchell's house. Thej then used a little more turned to and we bad a regular mill there for a while. I gave the whole four a hard tussle for a little while, but was overpowered and dragged to the ftation houe Htre the sergeant interfered, and made them take me to Dr.

Mitchell. He made tie usual physical tion, an4 recommended that I go to some qhitfc retreat and take xa good rest, do no business, smoke kss, and do a little very light reading by way of recreation, and be allowed the lib eity of tne grounds.

After I had been there for ten days I saw Dr. Chase, the physician in charge, and after that I was given the liberty of the grounds without guard. When I heard that my habeas corpus hearing was postponed I simply walked off the grounds, took came to Philadelphia, and then to Camden, where I haye been' ever since. I can say nothing of my future course, as I am in the bands of my lawyer, Hampton Jj.
