SOME MATTERS CLEARED UP.
Why the Murdered Woman Wanted So
Large q Sum of Money.

Why the Murdered Woman Wanted So
Large a Sum of Money.
The work of the day has only succeeded
in clearing up some mysterious things
about the dead woman. An interview
with her financial agents, E. S. Jones'
Sons, reveals the fact that she had been
in pressing need of money for which some
one was pushing her within the last six
weeks. Her agents had loaned out q, 300,
but she suddenly decided to call in her
loans. 1t was not found easy to transfer
them, and Miss Cling became quite impa-
tient for the money, saying she only need
cd it for thirty days. Finally the matter
was arranged and she drew out about
$1,000.
The head waiter in Barge's restaurant
tells of Miss Cling and Hayward meeting
there as late as last Saturday, on which
occasion Miss Cling flashed a roll of e., 600.
1t has been ascertained, too, that Miss
Giug had nearly completed her arrange
ments for opening large millinery estab-
lishment on Nicollet avenue, ana had
opened negotiations with the agent of the
store property to that end. This would
explain her need for ready money, as she
was anxious to purchase stock and open
for the holiday trade.
1t has also developed that the two in
surance policies were assigned to Hay
ward as late as Nov. 2S. Both were taken
out recently, the negotiations for the writ
ing of them being conducted by Hayward
in order that he might have security for
his loan. He was also to have chattel
mortgage on the stock in the new store as
soon as it was opened.
