Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-12-10


 Nov. 5.
 The first conference was in rcgard to either the holding up or the killing of O Chicago man who had loaned Hayward S4OO, the object being to regain possession of any papers which the man might have as evidence of Hayward's indebtedness. Blixt's ignorance prevented him from hay ing an intG!ligihlc idea of what the trans action was to be further than that therc was to be n holdup a murder. Hayward proposed to send Blixt to Chicago and to have him return from that city when he was wanted.
 Blixt refused to go into it and says that Hayward went to Chicago himself.
 Induced Him to Commit Arson First-
 Upon returning from Chicago. Hayward bruached to him another crimc-that of setting fire to n harm. He induced Blixt. to commit this act, thus securing peni- tcntiary hold on the man It was shortly after this that the scheme to murder Miss Cling was brOaChcd Hayward told him she was completely in his power, and thHti she would do anything he told her to. When the scheme of killing Miss Cling was suggested Hayward told him that by kill ing Miss Cling he would rcgain possession of S7. 900 which he had given her and in addition would make SlO, 900. as she had "willcd'' her life insurance to him.
 He offered Blixt onc-fifth of the amount which he would make to commit tho dccd- Blixt still infused to have anything to do with the crime and threatened to quit then and there whercupon Hayward stated | that he would do it himself, saying, II | would as soon kill her as would q dog" This was about a week ago. In his con- | fc.sion Blixt makes no inference to the ride which Miss Cling took on Nov. 27. Hayward's first plan after he concluded | to commit the crime himself was outlined | | T rail about 2ig feet in length, and Hayward directed tho janitor to cut it in two, stating he would take Miss Cling | riding, and no one would sec him with | her. After Inc had struck her over the | head with the iron bar. which hc would carry concealed under his coat, ho intended to throw tho body out of the buggy against a curbstonc, start his horse on gnllop and | tell the story of a runaway accident, calcu- lating that the body would appear to have been thrown from the buggy when 1t col lided with the curb
 On Saturday night, after . second ride. | Hayward returned to the flats and told Blixt that the right opportunity had not | occurred On Monday night Hayward again met Blixt. By threats and persua. | sion and promises of money Hayward in- duccd him to bc party to the crime to the extent of aiding in tho disposal of tho body and making it easy for Hayward to | commit the murder and return rnobserved | to the city, so that it would appear that | by no possibility could he havc been the guilty person.
 Details of the Plot.
 Hayward directed Blixt to take street | car on Hcnnepin avenue opposite the flats at To minutes of : and proceed to Lake street, across the foot of the lake, a point where the Excelsior road bends around to | .l IL ..F InN-s n Nl.zx.~. await his coming. At exactly quarter to | : Hayward was in the hall of the flats and when Blixt opened the door Hayward said: Now hurry up and get down thcre. Ev- crything is all right
 Blixt followed out his instructions to the letter. He left the car at Lake street and ran across to the point of intersection of that street and the Excelsior road. He had been there about five minutes when he heard shot and saw carriage ap- proach. As it drew up he recognized Hay ward as the driver. Hayward said to him: {: Ut is all done. Jump in and drive slowly and givo mo plenty of time to get back to town and do not leave here until you make sure she is dead |"
 Blixt got in. The woman was on tho left hand side, and the lap robe was thrown over her, completely covering her, from | which It Is evident that DetorS urlnB the fatal shot Hayward pulled the robe up and held 1t so us to prevent any blood from squirting on his clothing
 | Blixt did not look at the woman, and the only way that he inferred she was dead was because she did not move He drove | along the Excelsior road to n point, he says nbout n mile beyond where the body was found. Then turning around he droys hack over the road. Upon reaching the spot where the body wns found he stop ped, and alighting from the buggy passed behind 1t to the left side. He says he pulled the woman's foot out of the buggy box. and that the body slid out by it's own weight, and the lap robe came with it. He l then jumped into the buggy and drove up | the Excelsior road to Lake s. vt to n point between Dupont strcct and Emerson ave
 nue, where Inc alightcd. thrcw the reins between the whip and dashboard, started the horse and stepped to the pavement and
 walked to Isyndale avenue, whero ho tool a car into the city. The horse started of
 slowly and then broke into trot.
