ALL CONFESS.
Parties to Two Brutal Murders
Own Their Crimes.
Adry Hayward Clears Up the Mystery OF
the Miss Cling Affair whelming
Evidence Against Barnes Nu--
derers Brings Them Down.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Dee 1.-THE
authorities are satisfied they have all
the parties connecte with the muir
der of Miss Catherine Cling. The con-
fession of Adry Hayward has cleared
up the mystery and it is known that
had one man acted upon information
given him by Adry Hayward the muir
der might have been prevented. Ac-
cording to the confession, the crime
was planned months ago by Harry Hay
ward who induced c. A. Blixt to kill
the woman. The fact that the muir
der was to be done and the motive
were known to Adry Hayward long be-
fore the fatal night. Adry Hay ward
tried TO dissuade his brother from car
rying the plan into execution and told
Levi NJ. Stewart of the plot The lat
ter secuted the idea, did not re-
port the matter to the police and
Catherine Cling was killed. Her death
was accomplished by Hayward. whose
sole motive was to secure her life i'm
suranCe. After the crime had been
committed Stewart came forward, told
all he knew and rendered the authori-
ties valuable aid.
From the confession of Adry Hay
ward il has been the theory of the
police that c. A. Blixt. the engineer of
the Ozark flats, where both Miss Cling
and Harry Hayward resided, commit
ted the murder at the instigation of
Hayward.
BIixt's Confession.
Blixt made a confession in which he
at first charged Harry Hayward with
the actual killing of Miss Cling, but
shortly after midnight admitted that
his confession was untrue, and that
he, himself, had committed the muir
der Hayward had interested Miss
Cling in ''greengoods" scheme
and drove with her from the
West house, until they reached the
corner of 1Iennepin and Franklin ave-
nues. about 2 miles from where the
murder was committed. There they
met Blixt whom Hayward pushed into
the buggy with instructions to drive to
where they would meet Hayward, who
would have the goods with him. Previ-
Gus to that Hayward had induced Miss
Cling to entrust what money she had,
BliXt did not know how much, to him.
Blixt and Miss Cling drove around the
end of the lake and Miss Cling became
anxious and began to ask about Hay
ward. When they reached the scene
of the murder she was looking out the
side of the buggy and while in this
position BliXt shot her. He drove
about the country about an hour and
when he was satisfied that she was
dead he threw the body out and went
home.
Had Other jobs ON Hand.
Blixt tells of several other jobs which
had been proposed by Hayward but
which fell through and says that
after this job. for which lie was to re
ceive 50, 600, or one-fifth of the life in
surance involved, he was to receive
$500 for doing Chicago man.
Blixt also tells story to the effect
that Harry Harvard wanted his assist
ance in disposing of the father and
mother of young woman in Mime
apolis whom he wanted to marry and
secure her property.

II we supposed for moment that in
speaking of Democracy versus plutocra-
cy" Senator Hill was TO any extent what-
ever committing himself to the Populist
scheme Of robbing people Of what is their
own. merely because they happen to be
well off in this worlds goods, we should
repudate him as heartily as possible.
But we understand him to mean nothing
Of that sort We understand the refer
ence TO be to the Republican idea Of Sc
curing for New York a Governor, by nomi-
mating an immensely wealthy man who
will furnish money enough TO debauch the
voters of the State and foist himself into
the Governors chair by bribery and cor
ruption. instead OF by the free and I'M
Influenced voice Of his fellow citizens.
Understanding this reference thus, we can
say that We heartily commend Mr.. HIS
platform, as one on which the people of
New York should elect him their Governor.
When we have that platform adopted as
the basis upon which all our laws are
founded, we shall have a constitutional
Republic in fact. in which the laws are
made TO bear equally upon all, and all
men are guaranteed the enjoyment of
all that is their own.
New York Democrats should sink all
their prejudices against the man Hill,
and unite in one earnest, common effort
to make their party triumph. for its
aims are all at the public good, and the
equal protection of the laws for all.

DEATH OF DIR. OLIVER WENDELL
HOLMES

The "Autocrat Of the Breakfast Table"
our only and best beloved autocrat, the
gentlest and kindest OF men. has laid
down his sceptre, the pen, forever II
there was a more universally beloved
author In America we do not recall him,
and perhaps in this respect he was never
surpassed, save only possibly by Long
fellow.
The New York Herald very appro-
priately says:
At a million breakfast tables, wherever
the English language is spoken, there
will be deep and heartfelt sorrow at the
news OF the death of Oliver Wendell
Holmes
His life was originally devoted TO the
study and practice OF medicine. and his
pleasure was TO alleviate the ills OF the
body. But his broad sympathy for his
fellows led him TO his true mission. when
from healer of bodily disease he be-
came, as some one happily expressed IL,
the ineXhaustible singer Of mental health
and cheer. "Other physicians may have
done more to assuage pain, but no other
medicine man has shown such a faculty
of radiating JOY"
"He moved through London" said some
one, describing his visit there in 1885.
like an old picture that had SteDUed out
Of its frame TO bring back the life Of a
beautiful past" To us, however he was
never a memory, but a beautiful living
present, with sunny halo that fingered
about him till the end.
His genial wit, his gentle satire, his
and healthful, elevating spirit that per-
meated all he wrote - verse or prose,
gained for him the deep, reyerent affec-
ton of all.

TWO DELIGHTFUL RQoKa

Casutlly turning over books in the store
of West, Johnston & Co., day or so
back, our eye fell on a slip Of paper on
which was printed the following:
General Lee" by General Fltzhugh
Lee, $3.50.
"Recollections of a Virginian," by
General Dabney II. Maury, $50. These
two books should be in every household.
Is II not your duty? We are sure IL Will
be a pleasure to read them. For sale by
West Johnston & Co.. Richmond. Va"
We are informed that the firm puts one
of these into every letter it writes.
We can very cordially answer the ques-
ton asked by saying that it is duty,
and we can candidly say 1t will be a
pleasure to any one TO read both.
We have already bestowed as high
praise upon General Lees book as we
knew how to bestow. and II was not half
as much as 1t deserves; but we feel that
we have not spoken of General Maury's
book in the way that IL ought TO be
spoken Of. 1t is positively one Of the
most delightful books in our language
and will take place as one of our most
revered classics. 1t will live and be read
as long as recollections of our people live
because 1t Is the most faithful. and AT
the same time delicious, portraiture OF
Virginia and Virgtnans that has ever beer
made. We wish everybody In the world
would buy a. copy of IL.

the ceiling Of this cell was thin. as he

old log behind the cell door the men
reached the third floor. The hole through

point Of vantage. they went to another
window looking out upon the Jail green,
and sawed two bars. each an inch square.
The sheets from the beds Of the three
prisoners were torn into long strips.
These were tied together, making a Sc
