WANTED BRIGGS KILLED.
Had Harry Hayward's Plan
Carried There Would Have
Been one Less Witness in the
Stein Case.

NdI lOd
Beon one Less Witness in the
Stein Case.
Reporter Briggs, who, during the
Saulpaugh trial gave testimony loi
the defense, had narrow escape from
death not long ago at the hands OF
Harry Hayward, who wanted MIN
out of the way.
Detective Will Cole, OF st. Paul,
who by the way, has a record OF Ell
ficient which many of the Minneapo
Titan officials might envy, told the
story TO a FREE PRESS reporter last
evening.
"The incident of which l mention
took place some time prior TO the
Cling business when Hayward had not
been heard of in connection with
murder. Hayward was riding the
tidal wave of success, and his name
appeared in every social affair given
by the SWEETEST people in the city.
His social standing was not question
ed, for he was engaged to one OF the
wealthiest and most beautiful girls in
Minneapolis.
briggs was police reporter on one
of the big dailies at the time, and
knew every gambling house in the
city. In one of the toughest Hay
wards face was often seen and
Briggs knew the man was leading a
double life. Finally Briggs told him
that if he didn't keep out of such
places and act like man he would
give him the benefit of good big
roast. Mr.. Hayward, the society
man could not afford to have any
thing like that come out and he told
Briggs if he did it he would kill him.
That didn't scare the newspaper man
any and the roast came out. 1t was
the worst 1 ever saw in print.
Hayward intended to carry out
his threat all right, for he offered me
800 to kill Briggs. That man is the
most cold-blooded fiend l ever saw.
He sat down and outlined a plan for
me to work on to murder Briggs as
coolly as you would talk about going
on a visit. He offered me S25 to cut
off one of Briggs ears, the same for
an eve or hand and an equal am
cunt for every rib that could break
in his enemy'S body.
''The people in Minneapolis are OF
one mind about the guilt of Hayward
in connection with the Cling murder"
