THE STANNARD MYSTERY. PUBLIC OPINION SCARCELY SA‘IS*IED WITH THE ACQUITTAL OF LEY. MR, HAYDEN— SOME STRONG POINTS AGAINST H'M DIS- CUSSED—PROBABILITY OF HIS BEARREST. Manisoy, Cona., Sept, 26, 1878. The domonstration in the court room here yester- day, ou tho acqvittal of Rev, Herbert I. Hayden of the charge of murdering Mary E, Stannard, did not necessarily argue undivided belief in bis innocence in the town, The Hxranp reporter to-day conversed with many persons of wealth and influence residing tn Madison and adjacent towns, who had been drawn together by the launching of a new barkentin concerning tho trial im extenso in all its bearings and concerniug tho very remarkaple events of the concluding day of the hearing. The general opinion was that Rev, Mr. Hayden acted very injudiviously in not demanding, through counse!, that a delay should be granted to accommo. date the Siate, knowing that if innocent he could not be proven guilty, and that such a course would bave cleared him froma hngering suspicioo, which the very sudden closing, of tho case was in ttself sufMfcient to excite. Mr. Hayden was at the railroad station when the early morving train came in to-day and purchased the Hera, in the contents of which he was speedily and apparently deeply absorbed. Though frequently Pointed out to passengers and to visitors ho botrayea no consciousness of being singled out tor special notice, bearing timself nuturally and easily, His appearance started, naturally euough, dis- cussion and gossip anew. An upinistakeable indication of the oxtent to which public interest has been aroused was given in the visit of several aged people yesterday to Hayden’s wood lot, und thero one scptuagenarian, to test the validity of Mr. Hayden's alibi, bent himselt to tho task of throwing about the wood which Hayden had piled (presumably) and another citizen timed him, Witnesses during tho hearing variously estimated the time necessary for the mplishinent of this very featat from three-quarters of an hour to an hour, but the old man throw all the sticks fatly far as Hayden could have thrown avy one in three and one-half minutes. This was dove in the presence of senior counse: for the State, Judge Hy Lyndo Harrison, of Guilford, who was epending fits timo out of court in the search for evi- dence. HAYDEN WaPry, This formed part of the siapto of conversation later than at Hayden's first appearance for the day, when, ut the Jaunch, ho appeared with his wile and two children, Both he and nis wite bad lost tho ratber careworn look which had baunted thetr faces during the nine days of the trial. ‘hey chatted, laughed, received congratulations and were more observed than the launch. Mre. Hayden, however, is not wholly at ber ease, being troubled with a dread that additional pro- coed ings may ensue. PUBLIC OPINION, A retired judge, whose idence is in the adjacent towa of Guilord, conversed freely with ti He said empbatieaily “there is nothing wha the testimony of either Hayden or his wife toclear him.’? He continued that there had boen no evidence for the defence to stow that Haydon hud been at the wood lot when tho tragedy was occurring. The amount of work said to have been done these was pot an alibi, He went to the lot veatorday, and bad one-nalf of allthat it had boen claimed bad been thrown out by Hayden, and it would be possi- ble for a man to carry 1t. Then there was no evidence that the wood was thrown out Tuesday afternoon, It might have been thrown out the preceding day or tho day following, could he ny object for throwing it out it could have been loaded to cart just as rendily from its eriging! location, ML. STANNARD’S TESTIMONY, Talking with various people, the reporter heard th story of the father of the murdored girl called in que tion, and it may be remarked ip thig con- nection that the counsel for the defence talked avout this very matter out of court betore the trial had been concluded. Mr, Staunard testified that Mary knew all the vicinity, atout the big rock and was in tho babdit of going there and staying for hours, She was in Guiliord, at Mr, Stud- ley’s, only avery short time, about two weeks, and her ‘visits to tne big rock vicinity occurred just before she went to Guilford. Mr. Stannard also testitied that she was in the habit of visiting among the peighbors, and that if she did not roturn euriy he was not ordinarily armed, Thore can vo no doubt that she was acqaaintod — thor- oughly with the laud, Mr. Stancard, howevor, belore she had beon gone many hours became alarmed at ber where she advise hor, and heard her respond that very spot), and started ovt to leok for hei ing ber uvame, ‘Though anxious, a rain was qufllcient to — drive he bad hi stort him back home, where he romalned for a long time, and when ho went out the second time he found her dead vody.
