A CRIMINALS CAREER
.MIsSING LINKS FROM THE LIFE OF
HARRY HAYWARD.
Book Prepared by Detective that
1t Is Said Tells Something New
About Catherine Gfng's Murderer.

, MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 4.-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 employed
by the Haywards, has a remarkable inter-
est. The book, which will comprise some
12O pages with cuts of Hayward, Miss Cling
and the detective himself. was given TO the
printers this morning and will be ready for
the public next Monday. The whole book
is virtually confession of Hayward's
guilt. Quinlan himself evidently believes in
it most thoroughly. Two chapters are de-
voted to running account of the crime and
trial. The remaining chapters devoted
to the links, and are so designated. The
most important is that on which the confess
sion is based. which appears in link five.
In that chapter visit to Hayward at the
Jail is detailed by the detective. Harry had
been discussing with his detective a pre-
posterous plan for getting Adry out of the
way. The plot was exceeding ingenious
and daring one. Quinlan said:
Well Harry, your scheme is great one,
| and we'll put up, but you must remember
| that you only look at one side of it. You
know there are two sides to everything.
! You remember how 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" said Hayward. petulantlY, "who

brother would go back on him? Had Adry

have carried out my theory"

through a note sent by Harry Hayward
| TO him is also explained and forms still

| One of the most interesting secrets re-
vealed in the book is as to the STUFF
| which was put in Blixt's whisky the night
| of the murder Quinlan went out TO Hop
1 kins's factory and discovered that some one
| had been out there the day of the murder
| and purchased five dollars worth of nitro
| glycerin Growing impatient at the slow
| flow of the explosive, he had taken half
| pint with him and left. saying that his
| .partner'' would come for the balance. The
| partner never came and the occurrence
| was SO unusual that the maker of the nitro
! glycerin and his wife both remembered the
i Circumstances. Quinlan FASTENED back with
/ that information, hoping that ii would 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 would 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
| as directly charged by Harry, was inter-
| ested with him in burning the mill at Ham,
| ill and participated in the profits from the
| insurance. He also accused Adry of being
| the robber that held up Harry, Miss Cling
| and a companion one evening a year ago
| last summer at Lake Calhoun. Harry ac-
| cording to Quinan, was in the scheme and
| held the head of the horse while his brother
| was trying to snatch diamonds from the oc-
! cupants of the carriage. The book exposes
/ good many of the double purposes OF
| the actors in the drama and shows clearly
| how deceived and mystified We're Harrys
attorneys by their clients actions.
