Hayward was released from police
surveillance yesterday morning at IL
O'Clock, and the mayor, vino has been
conducting the ''Star session." was
obliged TO admit that his first theory
was wrong. The mayor in this case, as
In others of similar nature, usurped
the authority of the courts and rele~
gated to the rear his entire police force.
The mayor was so enthusiastic over his
''theOres' and desire TO ''get to the bot
tom of the facts" that be refused to
allow even his chief of police to take
paTt In the sweating process" Hay
ward explained Yesterday the signing
over of the two insurance policies 10
him by Miss Cling. One of the
policies is in the Travellers Life InSur-
ance company FOR 5000, and the other
tor the same amount is held by the New
York Life Insurance company. The
policies were taken out recently, and
the signing of them over to Mr.. Hay
ward occurred on Wednesday, Nov. 2S.
Hayward says he gave her a loan Of
$1,000, and he was also 10 secure a mort

chased the gouds for her millinery es-
adjustment. This was the reason that
there was no mortgage on record. He
said he called on the agent of the North
western Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany some time ago on behalf of Miss
Cling to inquire about placing policy
on her life. He was Informed that the
company did not insure women. so he
let the matter drop. He went there as
favor to Miss Cling.
After his release from the sweat
box" Mr.. Hayward said that he was
fully aware that he need not have sub
mitted to such rigid inquisition, but
he did it because he considered it the
best thing under the circumstances. He
realized that suspicion would naturally
be directed towards him, being one of
her most intimate male friends and one
who had had money relations with her.
He said also that lie was of the opinion
that something might come out shat
would prove valuable in unraveling the
case. In referring 10 the reports Of the
highway robbery which occurred early
last summer, in which Miss Cling, Miss
Vetter and Hayward were concerned,
he said:
"The reports of the hold-up which o.
CURED near the scene of this murder
last summer, and in which Miss Cling,
Miss Netter and | were concerned, are
all incorrect. and ii is even limited that
l was interested IN having it done. AS
matter of fact, l was the only one that
lost anything to speak of. Nothing was
taken from Miss Cling, but she dropped
a diamond ear ring III tile leaves while
taking it out or her ear TO hide il III her
mouth, as she did her other valuables.
Miss Netter lost q rlng with very
small diamond in it that was not worth
over $40, and | lost gold watch and S46
iu money. Ii is also stated that before
| knew of the facts of the case | said at
the lookup that l knew Miss Cling had
been murdered for ner money. That is
not true. Both the jailer aud the driver
of the wagon had told me all about it
before l said a word, and then l said
it was for her money tnat she was muir
deTed. There seems to De some QueS-
tion as to my having paid Miss Cling the
money as | stated, but that is easily dis
posed Of. l paid the money in each in
stance in my office at the Oneida block,
and when | paid her the $1,000 Jack
Wetherspoon, the elevator man OF the
block, and &. a. Blixt, engineer of the
Ozark building, were there as wits
