MINNEAPOLIS, December s.-Adry A.
Hayward has made a confession. Harry
I. Hayward planned the murder Of Miss
Catherine Cling. and c. A. Blixt, engineer
Of the Ozark flats, committed the bloody
deed That, at least, is the theory Of the
police Blixt was arrested this morning
and locked Up. After committing the
deed Blixt returned TO the city and
disposed Of some OF his clothing to
workbouse prisoner named Erickson, who
Hsft next morning for Iowa Falls, Ia, and
there had the clothing washed. He re-
turned to Minneapolis and sold some OF
the clothing 20 q pawn broker on Washing
ton avenue, south. The remainder Of the
clothing was undoubtedly burned IN the
furnace Of the Ozark fats. The motive Tor
the crime was the securing OF the lnSur-
a1ce on Miss Ging's life.
Early in the evening the Mayor went 10
the W est Hotel and repaired az once 70 a
EcludeO room on the top hoor where ne
Tas soon Joined Oy Detective hoy, VINO
had in charge T.. A. BliXt, the engineer or
. the Ozart fats. For some time the Mayor
and detective sweated their man, appar-
j emily without success, but soon IL was evil
dent that they had struck lead wnlcn
they expected 70 develop well, for they
sent 10 bO. aste for the county attorney.
Tnen the close conference was resumed.
Before long detective HOY was sent away
in carriage and returned with BIxts
wife.
Then Erickson, who had been hanging
around the Ozark and sleeping In the en-
CINE room, was introduced ia the circle.
Then the court Of inquisition
SETTLED DOWN To BUSINESS,
and during the long session which follow
FED, Sheriff Eye and q couple Of deputies
and Superintendent Smith put IN an ap-
pearance. About l2;3o Snerlu ESe
emerged. He was not Inclined 70 be very
communicative, but said:
eve have the man who did the shooting
and are going 70 arrest him IN lew min
utes. &. A. BliXt is tue man."
The sheriff returned upstairs and with
in i've minutes Detective Hoy had come
down, taking Blixt with him in hack to
the lOcku. Upon the arrival there BuNt
gvvas locked UP on q charge OF murder, and
gHoy returned to the hotel. Just as soon
as he arrived EricksOB was taken % the
lookup. The charge Of murder was also
entered against him.
Before leaving the lookup Detective
Howard took a key from Blixt and, ac-
Ozark faes in search of evidence. The
crime was conceived long ago. The mo-
tive was the securing of the life insurance.
Ii appears that the scheme was preached
by Harry Hayward % AIRY Hayward, anc~
that the latter attempted 70 dlsSuade his
his brother from tue commission OF such a
bloody crime For q time be thought he
6hd succeeded. But finally wnen he De-
came convinced that Harry was deJermiu-
ed TO carry out his scheme, he went 20 Mr..
Stewart. who has been more than friend
70 the family, and told him OF the plot Mr..
Stewart took no stock In the story al nrst,
but when he learned of the crime he COM
municated with the authorities, and in
formed them Of the story that Adry had
told him. Working upon this information,
the officers
FERRETED OUT THE MYSTERY.
Blixt is said to have been party to the
hOld-up IN which Miss Cling, Miss Vetter
and Harry Haywood were robbed last
April. Iu fact, the police are said 70 know
the name of the party now i'm possession or
the jewelry taken at tnat time

tails of the loans, the evidence and the life
insurance in such a manner that II would

Harry made appeals 70 Adry, butthe latter
always told him he never could carry out
