The penitentiary muddle developed in
to a sensation entirely unexpected by
those who thought they were well ac-
quainted with the workings Of the insti-
tuition. Even the directors are aston
ished at the crookedness of Warden
Coblentz who was compelled to retire
from that position today. The direct
ors cause for asking for his resigna-
ton was not wholly characterization,
but they gave that chance to Coblentz
so he could step down and out grace
fully, and thus avoid the notoriety that
is given to the states swind lers in the
newspapers.
1t has come to light, and the governor
has admitted, that Coblentz combined
with a number of TRUSTEES at the PEN

in defrauding the state. CobHntz. who
was on his way from Seattle. was wired

MISS GING'S SLANERS FOUND.
Hayward Planned the Murder Blixt Did
the Rest.

Minneapolis, Dec, s. - Adry Hay
ward has confessed that Harry II. Hay
ward planned the murder of Miss Cath
crime Cling, and Ita Blixt. engineer of
the Ozark flats, committed the deed.
Blixt was arrested early this morning
and locked up in the central station.
After committing the bloody deed
Blixt returned TO the city and disposed
of some Of his clothing TO a workhouse
prisoner named Erickson. Ole Erich
son left next morning for Iowa Falls.
Iowa, where his wife is employed IN
hotel and there had the clothing wash
ed. He returned to Minneapolis and
sold some of the clothing to a pawn
broker on Washington avenue, south.
The remainder of the clothing was un-
doubtedly burned in the furnace at
the Ozark fats The motive for the
crime was the securing of insurance On
Miss Ging's life,
Last evening the mayor went to the
West hotel and repaired at once to Sc
cluded room on the top floor, where he
was soon Joined by Detective Hoy, who
had in charge Blixt, the engineer. For
some time the mayor and the detec-
tives sweated their man, apparently
| without success; but soon 1T was evil
| dent that they had struck a lead which
| they expected to develop well, for they
| sent in hot haste for the county attorney.
| Then the conference was resumed. Be
| fore long Detective Hoy was sent away
| in carriage and returned with Blixts
| wife. ole Erickson, who did work
| around the Ozark, was introduced into
the circle. Then the court of inquiry
| settled down to business, and during the
| long session which followed, Sheriff
| Eye and a couple of his deputies with
| Superintendent Smith, put in an APP
pearance. About 1890 Sheriff Eye
| emerged and said: 1--WE have the man
who did the shooting, and are going to
arrest him in few minutes. Blixt is
| the man" The sheriff returned up
stairs and within five minutes Detective
| Hoy had come down, taking Blixt with
him to the lookup. AS soon as he ar
rived Erickson was taken to the lock-
up. The charge was also entered
against him.
1t appears that the scheme was
preached by Harry Hayward to Adry
Hayward, and that the latter attempted
to dissuade his brother from the com
mission of such a bloody crime. Wher
he became convinced that Harry was
determined to carry out his scheme, h'
went to Mr.. Stewart, who has been more
than friend to the family, and tole
him of the plot Stewart took no stool

crime, he at once communicated viii

Fostoria, Dec. S.-A CHASTITY find was
made today by Brakeman Bebee, of the
Baltimore & Ohio road, on an east
bound freight train. He was looking TO-
tramps who had boarded the train at
some point in Indiana. 1t seems that
general fight had occurred and when
he found them two were dead and one
in an unconscious condition When the
train reached here the dead men were
taken to the undertaker's and the
wounded man conveyed to the Amer
lean house, where medical aid was sum
moned and everything possible was
done for him Under surgical treatment
he revived and made the following
statement:
my name is Henry Harris and my
two companions are named Henry
Reesh and Arthur Il. Brown. We al
lived at Auburn, Ind, and last night
boarded n freight to strike out and
look for work When we got to Deshler,
about 25 miles west of here, four mer
boarded our car and made demand for
our money. We had fight and they
commenced shooting, and l was shot
down. | think the men left the car at
Desher again. They got sl2 in money
from me-"
Reesh was found to have four bullets
in his head, any one of which would
have proved fatal. Brown was shot five
times in the body and once in the head.
Harris had two bullets in his head and
one in his left breast The car in which
the shooting was done looks like a
slaughter house and about 20 empty
shells were found on the floor. There is
no clue to the murderers except the de-
scription of the five men given by the
marshal of Garrett, Ind, who says that
