MINNEAPOLIS. MINI, December a.
There are probobly more arrests to come
in the Cling murder case.
From the hrst 1t has been regarded as
well nigh incredible that Harry Hayward
used as he was to playing for high stakes
a man who had often bet $4,000 on the
turn Of a card, should enter into couspir'
acy against this girls life, for
share OF only $1,000 insurance.
The police have been puzzled all through
the case by appsrSltly contradictory traits
Of the chief conspirator, and earnest Efforts
have been made 10 pick mp the missing
thread of evidence. II has been consid-
cred of paramount Impotence that the
man who sent a note to Miss Cling On the
morning of the murder from outside the
West hotel. should be identified. The view
has been taken that this men was com
mercia traye eler, who had nothing 70 90
with the tragedy whatever; outlr such an
event Il would have cost the man nothing

and purpose IN sending that note, ~ rest.
The fact that he has not come forward hss
inspired tho authorities with belief tnat
he had an important connection with the
case, and this man will have 20 DO arrested

against Hayward as good one. III mas

70 occur at any moment. HAYWARD had
greater incentive than has heretofore oeen
supposed in desiring the death OF catherine

them is the man OF dark complexion VINO

That no report has been made OF the ex-
