MINNEAPOLIS, December 6.-The Cathe'
rine Cling murder mystery is still un-
solved. The newspapers and the police
have followed up every clue with unremit-
ting energy, only to find themselves up
against the stone wall of mystery that
hides the identity of Miss Ging's compan-
ion. The work of piecing the torn note to-
gether which Miss Cling received and tore
to fragments on the morning of the day
she met her death has progressed, but IS
not vet done. The waste basket contained
the fragments of a number of business
communications, and the puzzle is lntrl-
cate.
A note, however, has been partially fit
ted together on which the words II will
not marry youn are discernaole. These
words lend confirmation to the theory that
the deed was one of passion or jealousy
rather than Of robbery, and that the money
on her person at the time Of the murder,
estimated TO have been from 81, 600 TO $lO,-
600, was taken as an aIJer-thought 70

THE MOTIVE FOR TIE DEED.
Two more men have been found who be-
lieve they have looked upon the face of the
murderer. One Of these is M. ID. Wilson.
local liveryman, who lives on henwood
Parkway, out toward the scene OF the
murder On that night while driving
home be noticed the Goosmau livery
rio and easily recognized it
through his familiarity with loca.
horses. Mr. Wilson heard the voices of
two people in the rig. and believes he rec
ognized that of Miss Cling, who had often
hired horses of him. The glance he had OF
the man was in the moonlight. 1t was but
mOmentary, yet il was thought he recog-
nized the man. The next day he visited
the morgue. On the way there he told the
detectives of his experience Of The night
before With the incident in his mind,
In. Wilson went and stood over the body
for moment, and on turning around he
received q peculiar sensation. Standing
near him was man whose appearance
seemed TO correspond with the mental pict-
ure he had formed of the mans figure in
the rig the night previous. Mr.. Wilson
conveyed his impressions to the officers
standing near him. aud since that moment
the mysterious person has been under sur
veillence.
THE POLICE HAVE SAID NOTHING
regarding the incident but although at
first glance the incident seemed valueless,
il IS being worked for all there is init. Mr..
Wilson in driving to his home kept near
the other rig tue entire distance from
Hennepin boulevard TO his home, which is
not far short of a mile. A portion of the
time he was abreast of the "buckskln
horse" Mr.. Wilson turned of the Ooule-
ward at No. 1894, and saw the other rig
proceed on its way toward the lake. The
boulevard winds its way through beau
tiful landscape and skirts three lakes. So
far as is known this is the last that was
seen of the carriage that contained the
murderer and his victim.
Frank Eckhart saw the horse come
dashing up the Excelsior turnpike in the
darkness about O'Clock, or an hour later.
The murderer is the only person who can
account for the intervening time.
The second man who thinks he has seen
the murderers face is w. II. Dennis, the
architect. He declares that he has seen Miss
Cling, whom he knew well, several times
lately with stranger. Mr.. Dennis is Well
acquainted with Minneapolis men aud
could spot stranger as readily as any one.
he states that he saw her with this man
near Bargo's cafe and he also saw the man
waiting in front of the Syndicate block
about the time Miss Cling was accustomed
to leave her work Mr.. Dennis was in St.
Paul last Friday and he states that he met
Miss Cling and this stranger
COMING OUT OF MAGEE's
restaurant. He is positive in this story,
and also positive that the man did not live
in Minneapolis. He does not say that he
could not have lived 10 St, Paul He de-
scribes the man as being an exceedingly
smooth individual, dressed very well and
withal calculated to make au impression
on ladies. Mr. Dennis believes that this
is the man who killed Miss Cling.
This is. perhaps, the best thing the de-
tecuves have had TO work on, and the mat
ter will be thoroughly investigated.
