Was soon joined by Detective Hoy, who
had in charge Blixt. the engineer. For
soms time the m syor and detective
sweated their man, apparently without
success, but soon it was evident that
they had struck q lead which they ex-
pected to gather up we'll, for they sent

hotel and Ericsson to the lookup. The
charge OF murder. was also entered
against him. Before leaving the lock-
up Detective Hoy took key from Blixt,

INCEPTION OF THE CRIME:
The orime was conceived long ago.
The motive was the securing OF the
life Insurance.. Levy M. Stewart was
q valuable aid to the authorities in
looking up the case. II appears tn at
the scheme was broached BY Harry
Hayward to Adry Hayward and that
the latter attempted to disBuade his
brother from the commission OF such
bloody crime. For time he thought
he had succeeded, but finally, when he
became convinced that Harry was de-
termined to carry out his scheme, he
went to Mr.. Stewart, who has bsen more
than . friend TO the family, and told
him OF ths plot. Mr.. Stewart took no
stock in the story at frst, but when he
learned of the crime he at once COM
municatsd with the authorities and in
formed them Of the story that ldry had
told him. Working on this information
the officers ferreted out the mystery.
The details are largely to be worked out.
The officers themselves are not entirely
satisfied just how the murder WAS com-
mitted. They are. however, satisfied
that they have the right
parties in custody. Blixt 10 said to be
party to the hold.up in which Mies
Cling. Miss Vetter and Hairy Hayward
were robbed last April. In fact. the
police are said to know the names OF tho
party now in possession OF the jewelrS
taken at that time. Mono OF the officers
would state this morning their theory
az to how Miss Cling was induced to take
the social sale "a Blixt. They did not
she had taken three rides.
ADRy's coNyEssIoN.
"Adry Hayward's confession is only as
to the events preceding the murder. 1t
is evident that he knew nothing Of how
it occurred. II is. however. in evidence
that he was visited by Harry at his
apartments in the Ozark on tho evening
of the murder and told that ne had bet-
ter be where he could account for him.
self during the evening, Adry acted on
this suggestion. and At once went to the
house OF his fsther-in-law and spent ths
avsning until after the murder had oc-
cured.
Adry's confession shoMs that prior to
the murder Harry had arranged all the
"details of tho loans, the evidence, the life
insurance. in such manner that 1t
would appear to tie public afterward
that it was ell open and Aboveboard.
Time and time again Harry made per-
eonal appeals to Adry, but the latter al
ways,told him he could never carry out
such q scheme as getting rid Of tho girl
without hanging for IT,. Harry grew very
angry ct Adry' q repeated opposition anu
finally threatened to murder him if he
resisted. 1t was not nutii three days be-
fore the day Of the m srder that be real
lied that the plot wxs still lncubs ting.
