THE CHICAGO HORROR.
Janitor of an Apartment Building Slain
in Cold Blood.

in Cold Blood.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.--A. D. Barnes, who
was employed as janitor of the Hia-
watha apartment building, 25s East
Thirty-seventh street, was murdered in
a shocAingly brutal manner Thursday
night in the basement of the building,
and an elaborate effort was made by
his slayer and accessories after the
fact to conceal the crime by hiding
the hacked and mutilated corpse in a
hole under the sidewalk on South
Park avenue, just south Of the elevated
railroad tracks on Sixty-third street.
Confessions of Guilty Parties.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11-Alfred Barnes
murderers have confessed. Saturday,
after overwhelming evidence of their
guilt had been obtained, they broke
down and told how the crime was com
mitted. Wednesday night at 1918
o'clock in the basement of the
Hiawatha fats he was struck down
with an AK by Edward Jordan,
his assistant, in self-defense, as the
assassin claims-in cold blood, as other
circumstances indicate. An hour later
Jordan brought in to view his bloody
work Mrs. Ann Mahoney, formerly
Barnes most intimate friend, now his
bitterest foe. Together, by the dim
light Of lantern, they removed the
evidences of the crime, the woman
washing away the bloodstains from the
floor. The dead man was left lying
on a pile of coal whole day while
the murderer and his accomplice
plotted a more elaborate plan of
concealment. The next day the
body was packed in box. At
night it was removed in an ex-
press wagon driven by Tommy
Donahue, the woman taking an
active leading part in every separate
scene. 1t was dumped on South Park
avenue, near sixty-third street, where
it was found Friday morning, the two
conspira tors feeling assured that they
had successfully effaced all trace oil
their part in the crime.
These facts comprise the essence of
a series of full confessions obtained
Saturday from the guilty individuals
by Inspector Hunt and his officers.
AZ AOAAAUlC oCCddS III Gllc sCIltlc we've
told by the Mahoney woman with a
degree of exultation at Barnes death
which Mortified her hearers. and fully
expressed her extreme hatred of the
man who she said had betrayed,
abused, scandalized and robbed her.
Jordan's Confession.
After Annie Mahoney confessed her
share Of the crime, Jordan was brought
to the inspectors room and Annie told
her tale in the murderer's presence.
Jordan then confessed her story was
correct. But he explained that he was
afraid of Barnes. that Barnes had
poison in the house, and that he
tJordan) was afraid Barnes would kill
him.
Jordan continued: BARNES came
into the basement and began to quar-
rel with me. He asked me where the
screwdriver was and when / told him
! did not know he called me liar and
made a smash at me with his fist.
When ne came atme again gave it to

ALL CONFESS.
Parties to Two Brutal Murders
Own Their Crimes.
Adry Hayward Clears Up the Mystery of
the Miss Cling MISUNDERSTANDING
Evidence Against Barnes Muir
derers Brings Them Down.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Dec. 1.-THE
authorities are satisfied they have all
the parties connected 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 Hayward
tried to dissuade his brother from car
rying the plan into execution and told
Levi M. 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 in
surance. After the crime had been
committed Stewart came forward, told
all he knew and rendered the authori-
ties valua BILE aid.
From the confession of Adry Hay
ward it 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
Blixt's Confession.
A. az, 10
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 a ''green-goods" scheme
and drove with her from the
West house, until they reached the
corner of Hennepin and Franklin ave-
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 Hana.
Blixt tells of several other jobs which
had been proposed by Hayward but
which fell through, and says that
after this job. for which he was to re-
ceive $4,000, or one-ffth 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 a young woman in Mime
apolis whom he wanted to marry and
secure her property.
