So far as the Union depot is con-

there was such Thing as Strike Oh.

There were no Great Northern
trains moving, it is true, but the

along in the even tenor Uf its way.
There were no strikers about the depot,
and the gatemen stated they had Seen
none of them. A NUMBER of railroad
men were found standing at the corner
of Nicollet avenue and High street dis
cuSSing the situation. When asked if
there was anything new, one of them

proves to be the case, the theory regarding
the clothes found on the river is exploded.
Mrs. Erickson has worked i'll the hotels here
for year past, ana her sister. by the name
of Hedland, her husband being a section
foreman on the illinois Central. Erickson
came here from Minneapolis at 5 p. m. Dec.
4. and left Dec. 5 at 1855 p. m He had with
him grip and two bundles.
His sister says she did some washing for
him, but saw no blood on the clothes. She
washed, among the articles, one plain ging-
ham shirt. one gray cotton undershirt, pair
of German and one pair of WOODEN socks and
some handkerchiefs. She did not see the
clothes in the bundles, and claims he said
they were working clothes. His wife says
he got some clothes at the hospital. Among
the clothes found on the river bank are two
pieces of comforters, pair of light coIored
pants, some underclothes and SOCKS, all of
which are saturated with blood. They are
now in possession of. Chief of Police Clifford

ferred from the Hennepiu to the RAM
sey county jail. He was brought down
to st. Paul in a hack early yesterday
morning. He spent the day in the SOL
itude of his cell, refusing to talk to
anybody. But last night he made an
other and more complete confe ssiou
to GLOBE reporter. He told how hi S
brother Harry had repeatedly tempted
him with bribes to remove Catherine
cling. how he had threatened to kill
him If he ever breathed a word and
how Harry had warned him the night of
the murder not to stay at home, but to
visit some place so that he could
Establish an AlibI
Adry also attributed another motive
for Harry's determinat ion to have Miss
Cling killed. He said that Harry had
procured an abortion to be performed
upon Miss Cling about three weeks be-
fore the murder, that because Miss
Cling threatened to divulge the crime
unless he would marry her, Harry re-
solved to get rid of her.
When the GLOBE representative was
shown to Hayward'S cell, on the first
floor of the Jail, it was about GAS D. m.
and all the prisoners had been locked
in their cells. Hayward's cell, which is
No. on the Fifth street corridor, is
directly under that from which Charles
Ermsch marched to the gallows. There
was no light in the cell, and it was
therefore impossible to perceive either
form or features through the small
square openings in the cell door, which
Is separated from the visitors corridor
by nearly five feet.
"Mr. Hayward, there is a gentleman
here who wishes to speak with you,"
said the sheriff.
The Confession Begins.
There was q movement within the
cell, followed by voice, which said:
us that so? Who is it?"
AS Hayward spoke he advanced to
the cell door, and leaned against it.
His features could not be discerned, nor
even his figure. Nothing but voice
bespoke his presence. Upon being in
formed that newspaper representative
wished to obtain his statement, Mr..
Hayward began to talk, little reluc-
family at first. then freely, and finally
with great volubility. His voice shook
With excitement. 1t was plain that the
mans nerves were unstrung. 1t was
also apparent that he did not tell all he
knew about the murder.

Harry Hayward is not in the county
Jail. He was spirited away last night,
shortly after supper, by Sheriff Eye
and several of his deputies. So much
excitement was wrought up yesterday
over the knowledge that Adry had
made a confession that it was feared
some attempt might be made to lynch
Harry. The fear was groundless, how
ever, for not single person went to
the county jail during the evening who
was not called there on business or be-
longed there.

eager to give to the newspapers all the

than that they were afraid they might

Hayward'S room. From this closet
Erickson took them. 1t may be that
the murderer washed himself in Hay
wards room, for i'll the closet was found
dainty lace handkerchief, showing the
blood stains made by mans fingers.
The handkerchief looked as though it
had been picked up by the murderer,
who wiped off his bloody fingers with
it and then threw it down under Tot
of soiled clothes. ''1he damned spot"
transferred itself to the bit of white,
and will be used as evidence.
During yesterday afternoon Adry
Hayward was taken to st. Paul and
placed in cell at the county Jail. The
lawyers got hold of both BIixt and
Erickson yesterday morning and every
attempt to secure an interview failed.
Both stated that they had nothiAg to
say. Erickson was sullen and replied
to the questions put to him IN mono-
syllables. Erickson actually affected
an air of gayety and appeared to be en-
joying himself. 1t is. however, a mere
! spirit of bravado ano will not last. The
detectives managed to worm little in
formation out of Erickson. He stated
that he had resolved bundle o.. clothes
from Blixt on Tuesday morning before
daylight and that the Haywards had
given him s19 to buy ticket and go
out Of the city and return again. After
making these admissions he contradict
ed himself and said the cIoLoes belonged
I to him.
1t was expected that both Blixt and
Erickson would be arraigued in the DO
lice court yesterday afternoon, but the
crowd which gathered there went away
disappointed. Assistant County At
torney Beardsley informed Judge Holt
that the state would not be ready until
Monday. and the preliminary hearing
was accordingly set over.

reason that Hayward, shrewdly, had
swung the conversation around into
such channel that the question ap-
peared one of mere curiosity. The
doctor replied to this query:
Exactly under the lobe of the ear
and upwards through the brain.
With what nicely Of eXactness Hay
ward remembered the physicians an
swer. With what blood-chilling pre-
ciseneSs he recounted the same to the
vlllalnous engineer, and with what
faithful precision the iell0w carried out
the instructions he received. Like
master, like man. The master villain
had no better memory than did his
c0waIdly tool. He shot Catherine Cling
according to instructions. Death was
certain. and Catherine Cling lies in some
graveyard away in the East. xactly
what part
Erickson, the VaGabOnd
and eX-wOrkhOuse bird, took in the
murder, cannot be determined. 1t is
thought by some that he was in hiding
near the spot where Catherine was
killed, and that at given signal he
came out and stopped the carriage. con-
versed with Blxt or Miss Cling Oh some
preteXt or other, and that when her at
tentiOn was diverted BliXt shot her In
the back of the head. AT any rate the
next morning Erickson took BliXt'S
bloody clothes and wrapped them in
newspaper. Then he went down town
and for q blind pawned a cheap watch
at the Washington avenue pawnbrok>
er'S establishment. He took the morn
ing train for Iowa Falls, where he
washed the clothes and brought them
back with him to this city. He sold
part OF the clothes to a secondhand
clothing dealer and the remainder he
gave to BliXt, who thrust them into the
Ozark furnace and burned them.
BliXt ii was who drove the old buck
skin horse back from the murder, and
left the nag to choose its own course
from within block of GooSMan's liv-
cry stable. He managed 10 gain ell
trance to the Ozark without being de-
tected, and, once in the building. di-
vested himself of the blood stained
clothing and threw them into a closet in

rible plot had been dropped, but three
days before the commission Of the crime
he saw preparations being made that
caused him to go to Elder Stewart, who,
by the way, is friend of the family.
Adry said in his confession that he
appeared to be under his brothers. in
t1uence to such an extent that he be-
lieved he was hypnotized, 1t was the
same way with the murdered girl. He
exercised perfect control over the girls
actions, and she appeared to do every
thing he desired her to do.
Adry says he again went to Harry
and begged him for the sake of all he
held dear, and the hope he had of life
hereafter, to forget all about his terri
ble intentions, but he might as we'll
have talked TO the winds. Harry in
formed him coolly that if he did not
keep his lips closed he would also mur-
der him. On the night of the murder
he went to Adry'S room, and in a
significant tone of voice said:
"You had better go to your folks and
remain there tonight"
This meant that it behooyed Adry to
arrange for an alibi. for the terrible
crime was about 10 be consummated :.
Adry, like man in dream, did as he
was bid. He went to the fiat of his
father-in-law, w. II. Chamberlain, and
remained there until about 9 O'Clock.
Harry went to the residence of AttOr-
neg Charles Bartles0n, and asked the
young lady of the house to accompany
him to the theater. He purposely went
late so that attention would be called to
the time of his visit.
The Murderous Blixt
In the meantime met Catherine Cling,
apd with her took the fatal ride. 1t is
thought some sort Of confidence game
was worked to get her to accompany
him. However, she was under such
perfect control by Harry Hayward that
she did not hesitate to accompany any
person anywhere, just so that he told
her to do SO.
Blixt was given minute instructions
by Hayward. lie even went SO far as
to tell him how and where to shoot his
victim. Some days previous he went
to a well-known local physician, who
does not care to have his name known,
and putthe following startling question
to him;
"Say, Doc, If you were going to shoot
me, for instance, how would you get at
it? Where would you shoot me to in
sure success and that death would be
certain?"
The physician did not at the time pay
much attention to the question for the
