some timo the mayor and tho detective
sweated their man, apparently without
success, but soon II was evident that they
had struck lead which they expected to

for the county attorney. Then the con.
ference was resumed.
B.fore long Detective Hoy was sent
away In carriage aud returned with
BlrxtS wife. Ole Erickson, who did work
around the Ozark, was intro Iuced into tho

The sheriff returned upstairs and
within Ave minutes Detective Hoy had
come down taking Bllxt with him to tho
lookup.
Assoon as he arrivel Erickson was taken
to the lookup. The charge of murder was
also entered against him.
II appears that the scheme was broachel
by Harry Hayward to Adry Hayward aud
that the latter attempted to dissuade his
brother from the comm ssion OF such
bloody crime. When no became con.
vincsd that Harry was determened to
carry out his scheme, he went to Mr..
Stewart, who has been moro than friend

Stewart took no stock In tho story, but
when he learned OF tho crime he ut once
communicated with the authorities and
informed them Of the story that Adry had
told him. Working upon this informa.
tion the officers ferretsd out tho mystery.
The details are largely to be worked
out. The officers themselves aro not on.

they have the right parties In custody.

Adry Hayward has been taken to st.
