Minneapolis, Dec 6..--The murder Of
Miss Catherine Cling, the well known
dressmaker, is the sensation Of the
hour. The mystery surrounding her
murder remains unraveled and will
never be cleared unless her murderer
is arrested and confesses, as there
were no witnesses to the tragedy.
Two Minneapolis men who were sus-
pected of the murder have proved ali
bies, and st. Paul man is now un-

enough evidence to,warrant his arrest.
The friends of the dead woman
have begun the prosecution Of most
rigid investigation. The detectives +
visited each friend in turn, and se-@
cured what information they could
This was little at best Even the dear
est and nearest friends Of the de-
ceased woman are unable to name the
man who has been her companion on
three mysterious drives she has taken
OF late, and which We're not more than
an hour or two in duration. Miss
Cling had her own circle Of acquaint-
ances, and if she had attachments
outside her closest acQuaintances
knew nothing of it. 555
One of the dead girls friends is
Miss Ella Vetter, who is employed in
the Office of one Of the leading firms in
the city. Miss Vetter is a cultured
woman, and the blow to her is Sc
we're. When asked if she had any clue
as to the identity of the unknown com

Miss Cling never told me who she

Miss Cling was one of quartet who
were very congenial, and who We're
frequently together. Miss Vetter
formed one of the group, Thomas
Waterman and Harry Haywood the
others. None OF the party were able
to throw the slightest clue upon the
matter, saying that they had not the
faintest suspicion as to who the mys-
terious man could be- They all are
of the same opinion, however, with re
gard to the murder. They scott at
the idea of a murder for money, and
insist that the crime was premeditated
and was actuated by motives of con-
suming jealousy AID disappointment
in love. Miss Cling was fascinating
woman. Many men had fallen in love
with her. The theory that the motive
was planned gained in strength as
the morning wore away. Those who
knew the dead girl best were the
strongest believers in the theory that
her companion murdered her in a fit.
