strous a Crime.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-The Herald has a
special dispatch from Minneapolis this
morning in which occurs this sensational
paragraph:
"AdTy Hayward has confessed that his
brother approached him at various times
and broached the scheme of killing Miss
Cling to him. Adry said hs attempted to
prevent it and had told l.. NJ. Stewart.
Stewart wrote to the officials. Being con-
fronted tonight with this letter Adry con-
fsssed."
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec SIT is fact that
Adry Hayward has confessed. He says
that Harry T. Hayward planned the mnT-
der of Miss Catherine Ging aud that G. A.
Blixt. the engineer of Ozark flats, commit
ted the deed Blixt was arrested early this
morning and locked up in the Central
station. After committing the bloody deed
BiIXt returned TO the city and disposed of
some of his clothing to a workhouse pris-
oner named Ericsson. Ole Ericsson left the
next morning for Iowa Falls. Iowa, where
his wife is employed in a hotel, AND there
had his clothing washed. He returned TO
Minneapolis and sold some of the clothin z
to a pawnbroker on Washington avenue
South. The remainder of the clothing
was undoubtedly burned in furnace at
Ozark Flats. The motive of the crime
was to secure the insurance on Miss Ging's
life.
Last evening the Mayor went to the
West hotel and repaired at once to a Sc
ciuded room on the top floor. where he
was soon joined by Detective Hoy, who
Z
some time the Mayor and detective sweated
Their man, apparently without success. but
soon IL was eYf,Iehs that they mad struck a
lead which they expected to develop well,
for they sent in hot haste for the County
Attorney. Then the conference was re-
sumed. Before long Detective Hoy was
sent away in a carriage and returned with
Biixt's wife. Olo Ericsou, whe did work
around the Ozark aud slept in the rooms,
was introduced into the circle. Then the
court Of inquiry settled down to business,
and, during the long session which fol-
lowed, Sheriff Eye and a couple of his
deputies with Superintendent Smith put
in an appearance. For long time no one
was seen TO come out of the rooms where
The investigation was progressing, but at
last about - 80 o'clock Sheriff Eye emerged
and was pOunced upon by the anxious
newspaper men. He was not inclined to
be communicative. but said:
I'VE have the man who did the shooting
and are going to arrest him in a few min
utes. Blixt is the man."
The Sheriff returned upstairs, and with
in FIVE minutes Detective Hoy had come
down, taking Blixt with him in hack to
the jail. Upon their arrival there Blixt
was locked up on charge of murder, and
Hoy returned TO the hotel. As soon as he
arrived Ericsson was also taken to the
lookup, and a charge of murder was en-
tered against him likewise. Before leay-
ing the lookup Detective How took a kew
from Blixt and. accompanied by Mrs.
Blk. went to the OZarks fats in search of
evidence.
The crime was conceived long ago. The
motive WAS the securing Of tie life insur-
ance. Levy NJ. Stewart was a valuable
aid to the authorities in looking up the
case. 1t appears that the scheme was
broached by Harry Hayward to Adry
Hayward. and that the latter attempted to
dissuade his brother from the commission
of such a bloody crime. For a time he
thought he had succeeded. But finally.
when he became convinced that Harry
was determined TO carry out bis scheme
he went to Mr.. Stewart, who has been
more than friend to the family, and told
him of the plot. Mr. Stewart took no
stock In the story at first, but when he
learned Of the crime he at once cOmmuni-
Gated with the authorities and Informed
them of the story that Adry had told
him. Working upon this information the
officers ferreted out the mystery.
The details are largely to be worked oul
as the officers themselves are not entirely
satisfied just how the murder was CON-
mitted. They are, however, satisfied that
they have the right parties in custody.
Blixt is said to be party 10 the hod-ur
in which Miss Cling, Miss Vetter and
Harry Hayward were robbed last April.
In fact the police are said to know the
name of the party now in possession of the
jeweiry taken at that time. None of the
officers would state this morning their
theory as to how Miss Cling was induced Ia
take carriage ride with a man so low
down in the social scale as Blixt They
did not even attempt TO explain how it was
that she had taken three rides.
Adry Hayward's confession is only as to
the events preceding the murder. 1t is
evident that be knew nothing of how It
occurred. 1t is, however. in evidence that
he was visited by Harry at his apartments
in the Ozark on the evening of the murder
and told that he had better be where be
could account for himself during the
evening. Adry acted on this suggestion
and al once went to the house of his father
in-law and spent the evening until after
the murder had occurred. Adry's con-
fession shows that prior to the murder
Harry had arranged all the details OF tho
loans, the evidence aud the life insurance
in such manner that il would appear to
the public atterward that it was all open
and aboveboard. Time ana time again
Harry made personal appeals to Adry, but
