Minneapolis, Mimi, December a
The closing act in the drama of Harry
Hayward's life is at hand and in that
connection the book of Missing
Links" which has been prepared by
Michael Quinlan, the detective employ
ed by the Haywards, has a remarkable
interest. The book, which will COM
prise some 12O pages, with cuts of Hay
ward, Miss Cling and the detective
himself, was given to the printers this
afternoon and will be ready for the
public next Monday.
The whole book is virtually confess
sion Of Hayward's guilt. Quinlan
himself evidently believes in it most
thoroughly. Two chapters are devoted
to a running account of the crime and
! trial. The remaining chapters are de-
voted to the links" and are so desig-
mated. The most important is that on
which the confession is based, which
appears in link five" In that chap
ter a visit to Hayward at the Jail is
detailed by the detective. Harry had
| been discussing with his detective
preposterous plan for getting Adry out
| Of the way. The plot was an exceed
ingly ingenious and daring one. Quin-
| Ian said: "Well. Harry, your scheme is
a great one and we'll put up, but you
! must remember that you only look at
| .s. I ,F - I'm tbora
sides to everything. You remember
how well your plot was laid in your
! last job on the murder of Miss Cling,
and you see how poorly you put up
/ that job You look only at one side Of
| it,"
well" replied Hayward, petulant-
/ ly. "who in heavens name would think
j his own brother would 80 back on him?
HAD ADRY STAYED
with me I would not have cared what
/ Blixt would have said or Stewart.
/ They did not disprove my loan to Kit
! Miss Ging) in the trial and that alone
would have carried out my theory"
THAT" says Quinlan, was Hay
wards confession"
On another occasion Harry said to
| Quinlan. IF Ad7y only told all the
truth and the facts as they are, he would
not help me any, but he would get
hanged, just as I expect to be. We
both deserve hanging for the crimes We
have committed before this"
A third confession is narrated just at
the close of the book, in bit of un-
written history, which Is extremely in
teresting. but which, strange to relate,
has never been known throughout the
entire case, which has been sifted as
! finely for facts and evidence as any
case that has ever come before the pub
lie. 1t is simply the fact that at one
time. while Adry was on the stand,
| Harry announced to some of his friends
that he was going to throw up the
sponge and confess the whole thing. He
was only deferred from this by the
earnest solicitation of those interested
in the case. the appeal being placed
solely for his mothers sake
Quinlan claims to have secured the
! first knowledge of the attempt TO break
| Jail through a question from Dr. Thad-
deus Hayward, who came to his Office
and wanted to know what he would
charge to go away with a man and keep

enter the room, remove" him with
rope around his neck, and then clean

thug "on" so he could make rich haul
| and people would think the elder had
! been murdered for his money.
The plan of the kidnapping Of Adry
has already been explained. Harry
congratulated himself that with Andry
and the elder removed" Assistant
County Attorney Hall could get no
more lies out of them"
Two of the most important bits Of
/ evidence. the "1'' rail and the sOldered
can are touched upon, each being given
a chapter The connection of the for
mer with Harry Hayward and his plan
/ TO kill Miss Cling with it, is shown in
chapter 3: how Harry had planted it ont
/ by the lonely road and expected to do
the job with it, but failed through his
coward heart" The finding of the can

| Harry Hayward 10 him is also eX-
! planned. and forms still fourth confess
sion of guilt One of the most interest
ing secrets revealed in the book is as to
! the stuff" which was put in BliXt's
whisky the night of the murder. Quin-
Ian went out to Hopkins's factory and
discovered that some one had been out
there the day of the murder and pur-
chased S. worth of nitro-glycerine.
Growing impatient at the slow flow of
the explosive, he had taken half a pint
with him and left, saying that his
partner would come for the balance.
HIS PARTNE RNEVER CAME
and the occurrence was so unusual that
the maker of the nitro-glycerine and
his wife both remembered the circum-
stances.
Quinlan hastened back with the in
formation, hoping that it could be used
in the appeal for a new trial When he
had detailed the circumstances, Harry
replied quickly: You must drop that
at once. 1t will never do. Why, you
will get one of my best friends into
trouble"
good deal of space is devoted to
Adry Hayward's connection with the
case. Adry is directly charged by Har-
~ with being interested with him in
burning the mill at Hamill, and parti-
cipated in the profits from the insur-
ance. He also accuses Adry of being
