The work of piecing the torn note to-
gether which Miss Cling received and tore
to fragments OH the morning of the day
she met her death has progressed, but Is
not yet completed. The waste basket con
tanned the fragments of number of bns-
ness communications and the puzzle is an
intricate one. A note, however, has been
partially lifted together on which the
words Il will not marry you" are dis
cernable.
These words lend confirmation to the
theory that the deed was one of passion
or jealousy rather than of robbery, and
that the money on her person ut the time of
the murder, estimated to have been from
$1,000 to StD,0Uu was taken as an atter
thought to obscure the motive for the deed.
Two more men have been found who
believe they have looked upon the face OF
the murderer. One OF these is NJ. u.
Wilson, local liveryman. who lives on
Kenwood Park, out toward the scene OF
the murder.
On that night, when driving home, he
noticed the Goosmann livery rig and
easily recognized it through his familiarity
with local horses. Mr.. Wilson heard the
voices of two people in the rig. and believes
he recognized that of Miss Cling, who had
often hired horses of him. The glance he
had of the man was in the moonlight. 1t
was but moinentary, yet it was thought
he recognized the man.
The next day he visited the morgue. On
| the way there he told the detectives Of his
experience the night before. With the
| incident in his mind Mr.. Wilson went
and stood over the body for moment,
| and, on turning around, he received Il
peculiar sensation. Standing near him
was q man whose appearance seemed to
correspond with the mental picture he had
formed Of the mans figure i'll the rig the
night previous.
Mr.. Wilson conveyed his impressions to
the officer standing near him and since
that moment the mysterious person has
been under surveillance. The police have
said nothing regarding this incident, but
although at first glance it seemed value
less il is being worked for all there is i'll it,.
Mr.. Wilson in driving to his home kept
near the other rig the entire distance from
Hennepin Boulevard to his home which is
not far short of mile. A portion OF the
time he was abreast of the "buckskin
horse" Mr.. Wilson turned off the boule.
ward at No. 1904 and saw the other rig pro
ceed on it's way toward the lake. The bou.
leyard winds its way through beautiful
landscape and;girts three lakes. So far as
is known this is the last that was seen oi
the carriage that contained the murderer
and his victim.
Frank Eckhart saw the horse come
dashing up the Excelsior turnpike in the
darkness about O'Clock or an hour later.
The murderer is the only person who can
account for the intervening time.
The second man who thinks he has seer
the murderer's face is w. II. Dennis, the
architect. He declares that he has seer

as any one. He states that he saw hel

alsusaw the man waiting in front of the
Syndicate Block about the time Miss Ginl
was accustomed to leave her work.
Mr.. Dennis was in st. Paul last Friday
and he states that he met Miss Cling ant

) This is perhaps the best clue the detec
tiyes have had to work on.
