 MISSEAPoLIs. Dec. 6.-No one is d. rcctly accused of the murder of Miss Cling, whose body was found by the roedside on . suburban drive. Her mysterious lover has not been Identified, and from the fact that ahe was wont to carry large sums of noucy the theory develops that she was killed for el, 700, which she drew frum the bank on tho day of the murder
 One of Miss Ging's numerous admirers was Fred l. Reid, nt present manager Of a department storc in St Paul MT. Reid was engaged to her at one tiIne, but broke his engagement with her without giving her any explanation and even sent an off, OCT to secure e diamond e -neument ring, which she refused fo surrptlsr.
 One of tho first things which the police learned was that lately several notes had been sent to Miss Cling by a man who d. ways summoned a messenger from the Nicollet House and that she received one of the notes Monday. The messenger was located, and upon visiting Miss Ging's rooms pointed out the picture of Harvey Axford, local manager for an eastern cloth ing firm, as that of tho man who had
 
 in the sweat box, but when his wife proved that she had given Miss Cling Mir Affords photograph Mfr. Axford was dis missed. If he wrote her notes, they had nothing to do with the murder.
 Hunting For a ciew.
 It is certain that her mysterious com panion was her murderer, but there is no clew to his identity. Miss Ging's waste basket is now in the hands of the police, who arc making an effort to piece the va- rious bits of paper found there together. So far this effort has furnished no clew to the murdercr.
 The police have rejected the theory that O man named Hayward, who was said to bc m intimate friend of the murdered woman, was connected with the crime.
 It Is now claimed that Miss Cling hnd e large sum of money. in ready cash at that time and was supposed to have 1t with her. It Is conjectured that the men knew this ftrrt and in this way expected to get the money. IL Is even hinted that Hayward gave them the information. But aside from the insurance policies there is not q scintilla of evidence that Hayward desired the death of Miss Cling or would profit by it. He was her creditor to a large amount, was very fond of her and stood better in her confidence than any one.
 The theory that he instigatcd the crime is hard to believe. Supposing it to be true, how could he have induced Miss Cling to go driving in such a mysterious way with hired thug? And how could he have induced her to take with her on the fatal drive so large n sum as S7, 900? It Is evident that thcre was a peculiar relation not entirely pecuniary one be. tween Miss Cling and her mysterious com panion. And so the investigators of the mystery come around 10 the point from which they started, with the mystery as decp us ever.
 She Wanted Money In A Hurry, The work of yesterday has only succeed ed in clearing up some mysterious things about the dead woman. Interviews with her financial, agents, c. =. Jones Sons reveal the fact that she has been in press | ing need of money, for which some ont was pushing her within the last six weeks. Her agents had loaned out sI 300, but she suddenly decided to call her loans It was not found easy to transfer them, and Miss Cling became impatient for the money, saying she only needed 1t for 3C days. Finally the matter was arranged, and she drew out about sl, GOO.
 The head waiter in Bargcs' restaurant tells of Miss Cling and Hayward meeting | there as late as last Saturday, on which 1 occasion Miss Cling showed nearly g, 00C 1 in bank bills. IL has been ascertaincd too, that Miss Cling had nearly completed her arrangements for opening a large mil | linery establishment on Nicola avenue ! and had opened negotiations with thc agent nf store property to that end. This would explain her need for ready money. as she was anxious to purchas, stock and open for the holiday trade. Ii also developed that two insurance policie. were assigned to Hayward as late as Nov 1 26. Both were taken out recently, the nc gutiations for the writing of them being conducted by Hayward in order that h. might have security for his loan. He wa. also to have q chattcl mortgage on th' stock in tho now storc as soon as it wa l opGpnd
