MURDER WILL OUT.

q a: Biixt, an Engineer. Killed tho
minneapolis DrcssmAkcr.-H Was
Hired BY II. 7. Hayward Who Wanted
Her Insurance.

Minneapolis, Dec. S.--Adry Hayward
has made confession. Harry I. Hay
ward planned the murder of Miss
Catherine Cling, and G. A. Blixt en-
gineer OF the Ozark flats, committed
the bloody deed. This, ut least, is the
theory of the police. Blixt was arrest
ed early this morning and locked up
In the central station. After commit
ting the bloody deed. Bllxt returned to
the city and disposed OF some OF his
clothing to n work-house prisoner
named Ericsson. Ole Ericsson left next
morning for Iowa Falls, Iowa, where
his wife Ia employed In hotel, and
there had the clothing washed. He re-
turned to Minneapolis and sold some
OF the clothing to n pawnbroker on
washington avenue south. Tho re-
maindcr Of the clothing was undoubt-
cdly burned In the furnace of the Or
ark flats. The motive for the crime
was the securing Of the insurance on
Miss Ging's life.
The crime was conceived long ago
The motive was the securing Of the
life insurance. Levi NJ. Stewart was a
valuable MD TO the authorities In work
ing up the case.
1t appears that the scheme was
preached by Harry Hayward to Adry
Hayward and that the latter attempt
ed to dissuade his brother from the
commission OF such bloody crime.
sSspr II tine he thought, he had succeed
ed, but finally, when he became con-
vinced that Harry was determined to
carry out his scheme, he went to Mr..
Stewart, who has been more than n
friend to the family, and told him OF
the plot. Mr.. Stewart took no stock
In the story at first, but when he
learned of the crime he at once commu-
nicated with the authorities and In
formed them of the story that Adry had
told him. Working upon this informa-
ton the officers ferretted out the mys-
terry. The details are largely to be
worked out. The officers themselves
are not entirely satisfied just how the
murder was committed, but they are.
however, satisfied that they have the
right parties In custody.
Adry was taken into Mr.. Stewards
office. The moment he was in Stew
arts presence he showed the first signs
of weakening, but made n great effort
to maintain his nerve. AS before de-
mails We're on his lips. But when
Stewart said there was no use quib-
bling, that he knew of his brothers
whole plot, Adry broke down utterly.
He turned to the county attorney and
said: ~ am done; will tell the whole
story"
He did so and 1t covered his own
knowledge of the plot from near the
time 1t was conceived. The plot was
for BliXt and Ericsson to do the actual
murder. AS Andry understood 1t, Miss
Cling was to be decoyed by Blixt and
lie was to kill her and Ericsson to assist
in hiding the clothes or whatever else
was necessary. No one is permitted
to see the Hayward brothers except
their attorneys and relatives.

A rHIEF THwARrEp.
Grabs q Handful OF Valuable Rings In
Denver Jewelry Store.

Denver, Dec. S.--A desperate attempt
was made about $3.50 last evening 10
rob the jewelry store of p. A. Wagner.
| No. ia Seventeenth street. Only by the
| alertness and presence of mind OF
clerk In the store, and the quickness
with which officer Clark used his re-
yolyer were gems to the value OF hun:
dreds of dollars saved and the thief
landed In jail.
There were two clerks In the store
about G:30, when Il respectfully dressed
man Of middle age entered. He asked
to be shown some stone rings, and one
clerk laid tray of costly diamonds,
opals amethysts and rubles before
him. The man examined some OF the
jewels, asked one or two questions,
and then grabbing u handful he ran to
the door, intending to escape with the
property.
But before he was over the threshold,
Wagner, who attended him, was at his
heels. He seized the thief by the
shoulder, jcrkcd him back into the
store, and then shut and locked the
door.
Upon seeing that he was trapped, the
robber coolly handed back the rings,
and with a laugh explained to the clerk
that he was only joking when he took
the rings. The clerk failed to see The
Joke. Instead of Joining In the laugh
of the jewel-snatcher, he sent out after
Officer Clark and gave the prisoner III,
to his charge.
Clark took the man to the nearest
patrol box, Seventeenth and Stout
streets, but while unlocking the door
for the purpose OF calling the wagon,
the prisoner took advantage of this oil.
version to make his escape. Clark pur.
sued him for block, calling upon him
to halt. The escaped man ~ no at
tention to the calls, and, fearing lie
would get away, the officer pulled his
revolver and shot twice into the air.
The reports brought officer Chandler
running up Sixteenth street, and at
Champa the thief ran into his arms.
This time he did not get away. He
gave his name as Fred Smith at the
city jail and was locked up on charge
of larceny. The police believe Smith
Is an experienced crook. The chase
and the revolver shots caused much ex.

Two important Measures.

Two Important Measures.
Washington, Dec. THE House
spent an hour yesterday in the con-
sderation of the bill to protect forest
reservations. The remainder OF the
day was occupied In the further dis
cusslon of the railroad pooling bill, The
speech of Mr.. Cochran was especially
brilliant and for almost an hour he
held the House spellbound. Debate
under the five-minutc rule began to-
day and 1t is expected that final vote
will be reached on Tuesday of next
week. The bulk of the opposition
seems to be directed at the section OF
the bill which gives railroads the right
to appeal to the courts from the decls-
Ions of the commission revoking pool

Waslrfntton! Dec. 10.-The friendsfOf
territorial admission bills feel much re.
lieved over the action OF the Democrat
lie senatorial caucus in deciding 10
place these bills on the preferred calen-
dar. There had been some opposition
feared lest the fact that Arizona and
New Mexico had elected Republican
delegates to congress ut the last cleo
ton would have the effect of causing
the Democratic senate to decide
against taking the bills up at the pres
ent session. Senator Faulkner, chair
man of the Territorial committee, had
been n persistent advocate OF the pol
icy OF including these bills in the pro-
gramme for the short session meeting.
The arguments of those who would
have had the bills side-tracked for
political reasons We're met with the as
scrtion that the result of the recent
election could not be accepted as in
any sense n criterion of the perma-
nent political preferences Of the peo-
pie of the territory.
Delegates Joseph and Smith, repre-
senting the two territories, and both
Democrats, confirmed this opinion.
Both of them have been spending con-
siderable time on the floor of the sell
ate recently. giving close attention tn
the admission question. They urged
upon Democratic senators 1t is unfair

spectivc constituents by the results in
