The German makers Of artificial limbs

MISS GING'S MURDER.
A MINNEAPOLIS WOMAN FoULLY
MURDEDED.
The Victim OF a Plot to Obtain Life
Insurance-Chnrle A. Rlixt Makes
A Confession duplicating Harry
Hayward. ds

Minneapolis, Special $50 last
evening the. dead body of Miss Gather
Inc Cling, dressmaker with parlors
in the Syndicate block, Minneapolis,
was found lying in a desolate spot on
the side of the country road, half a
mile west of Lake Calhoun, with bull
let in her brain. About Z o'clock last
evening she engaged a carriage from
the West Hotel and drove away alone.
The man who found her body met
the carriage rapidly driven to town
by an unknown man. Later in the
evening the carriage horse, minus the
driver, entered the livery stable from
which it was hired, and when the
owner of the stable examined the rig
he found blood and brains scattered
about the bottom of the carriage, and
on the back Of the curtain, which had
been torn as though a woman's body
had been thrown through it. 81.
Miss Cling had been living at the
Ozark apartment house with her niece
Miss Louisa Ireland, who is a very
pretty and accomplished girl Of sew
enteen years old and who moves in the
best society.
The murder created great sensa-
ton in Minneapolis and completely
mystifed the police
Harry Hayward, who was known to
have been intimately acquainted with
the dead woman, was taken in custody
and put through a sweating process
by the police. He was able to prove
an alibi and was released, but was
subsequently rearrested and charged
with the murder. It was learned by
the police that he had loaned Miss Cling
$1,000, taking as. security a $4,000
life insurance policy. Adry Hayward,
brother Of Harry, was also arrested
and made confession, stating that his
brother had disclosed to him the de-
tails Of a plot to get rid of Miss Cling,
for the purpose Of getting the life
insurance.

To a good many people it will be
surprise to learn that the cantniere,
who figures so picturesquely in French
military picture and on the stage Of
comic opera, is nearly as extinct as the
dodo. M. Casimir- Perier granted an au-
dience two or three days ago to almost
the last specimen Of this interesting
class, who Is known as Nine Veuve
Bouvier. In honor Of the occasion,
"the Goddess for so she was styled
in the Fifth cuirassiers, when Louis
Philippe was king, donned her black
glazed sailor hat her blue tunic and its
triple array Of cleaning buttons, and
the rest of the uniform. A strange fig
ure must this old lady have cut as she
marched through the village streets to
the presidential chateau. But they or

Of laughing, the good country folks

Harry threatened to hire man to

over to the hangman. His story is
necessarily disjointed and all through
it he was prompted from time to time,
yet his utterances go to show that he
has but one version Of it to give and
also suggests that if Harry Hayward
is the man that Adry paints him he
will presently go to the witness stand
and tell the actual truth of the matter
to the end that his brother may suffer
the same fate that is waiting for him.
Harry Hayward has been taken
from the Minneapolis Jail and placed
in Jail at some other town. The neces-
sity of his removal arose from the
disturbed condition of public
sentiment in Minneapolis. There
was no actual danger at any
time that there would really be
4 hostile demonstration against the
men, but the authorities conceived
that it would tend to allay excitement
if he were removed for a time.
Not only in Minneapolis, but in st.
Paul, the murder was the sole topic
Of conversation in the resorts where
men congregate, and the tone of the
people Of Minneapolis was at least
inenacing. Every one agreed that a
lynching would be a most desirable
thing, if it were not for the reflection
it would cast on the good name of. the
community, and it was much easier to
temporarily take Hayward out OF
town than to reckon with the uncer-
tainty of a crowd gathering about the
place Of his confinement.
