LIGHT ON ACRIME.
Suspicion Located in the Miss
Cling Murder.
HARRY HAYWARD NOW ARRESTED,

His Brother Adry Under Surveillance and
His Arrest Probable Very Soon-No Pos
itive Proof Against Either of the Men
Established The Celebrated Hillman
Case Revived by His Capture.
MINNEAPOLIs, Dec. Harry T. Hay
ward, the young business man whose re-
iations with Catherine Cling have been
investigated from every conceivable stand
point since Monday night, was last even
ing arrested on charge of murder in the
first degree. His brother, A. A. Hayward,
is also in the company of two detectives
and it is intimated that he will be form
ally taken into custody. These steps have
been taken with great deliberation and
after sitting all of the evidence to the ut
termost which can be brought into the
theory of the case, which is of course
chiefly based on conspiracy to obtain the
insurance money. This motive, purpose
and object. it is charged, have been pres
ent Enthusiastically from the first so far as
Harry Hayward was concerned
Adry Contradicted HIMSELF
Adry A: Hayward is brought into the
case because of anumbcr of circumstances,
most prominent of which is his alleged
knowledge of the making of the loans, or
the forms gone through with if none was
actually made in the Hayward office. Con-
cerning this Adry A. is said to have made
conflicting statements, when his state
ments as printed are compared with his
statements under examination after the
arrest. At the same time the officers state
that the suggestion of the money not hav-
ing been genuine may be found worth con-
sideration, and that this scheme of dup
ing the woman would be in line with the
theory that there was confederate.
Caution That Caused Suspicion.
A suggestion in the conspiracy theory
relates to the pains taken by Hayward to
authenticate the making of the last loan.
Two witnesses were called to witness the
last, whereas previous transactions in
volving half as great sum were made
without the least appearance of precau-
ton. The insurance must be made act
ually incontestible, and Just what was
done was necessary to make it so. Con
firmation of this theory is asserted in the
circumstance of drawing the policies, they
having been closely inspected and actually
sent east for the correction of some Uritlin2
lnaccuracy. These facts are held TO have
been inconsistent with the easy-going
rambling way in which Harry Hayward
had been dealing with the woman.
Other Facts That Incriminate.
What has led to the theoretical connection
of Adry a. with the alleged conspiracy
more than all the rest is said to have beer
information furnished the officials of Ger
tain peculiar facts noted by his nearest
friends. Among these was his knowledge
technical and intimate, of the very spor
where the body was found. He was SAID
to have traced the very route that mus
have been taken hy the bugCy-in fac

REMARKABLE CRIME RECALLED.
Capture of J. II. HiIlman for an Insurance
Swindle.


TUCSON Ariz., Dec 7.-Among the
Huachucas mountains at Salvation Army
camp, about forty miles from Tucson, a
man has been arrested for whom the
authorities have been looking for years.
He is John w. Hillman, and the capture
was made by Sam w. Finley, deputy
collector of customs at Nogalcs, and Orren
Grcmmill, undcr-sheriff of La Junta.
His capture recalls one of the most re.
markable cases in the annals of crime
In 1879 Hillman and two companions. one
of them resembling him very closely, took
trip IN the Buffalo mountains of Texas
to hunt. They We're gone several weeks,
and when Hillman and one companion
returned the man bearing SO striking a
resemblance to him failed to accompany
them.
1t seems that Hillman, who carried an
insurance on his life of $780, 900, while in
the mountains conceived murdcrous
scheme, and killed in cold blood the man
who so closely rcsembled him, and re-
turned to the settlement He took the
name of the man whom he had murdered,
and said that Hillman had been accident
ally shot dead anu buried in the noun
claim to the life insurance companies in
which her husband had been insured for
$50 900. The insurance people became srs-
picious and began an investigation. The
remains of the man whom Hillman had
murdered were exhumed, and it was then
discovered that they were not the remains
of Hillman.
+ Mrs. Hillman instituted legal proceed
ings in Topeka, kas., her home, to recover
the amount of insurance. The case was
carried from one court to another until
finally she secured judgment for the prin-
cipal, interest and attorneys fees in the
supreme court of the United States. Ac-
cortling to the order of the court the judg.
ment must be satisfied at the end of this
year. During all this time the insurance
companies have kept detectives on the trail
of Hillman, who disappeared shortly after
his wife made claim for the insurance. He
was followed to Australia and other for.
eign counties and reward of SIS, 600 was
offered for his apprehension, dead OF
alive.
On the 4th of last month Under Sheriff
Gemmill arrived in this territory from
Colorado and interested Finley in the
case. Gemmill having learned that Hill
man was in Sonora he and Finley took
the murtlerer's trail at Magdalena, Sono.
TO, and followed him to Altara, Sonoro,
thence to Prescott, Ari., Mexico City, Old
Glory camp, and then to Salvation Army
camp in the Huachucas. where he was ar.
rested. Hillman denied that he was the
right man when told by the officers what
they wanted him for. He was taken to
