MORE OF HAYNARD'S LIES.
Another Chapter Of His Confession is
Made Public
And Positively Denied by Persons
Interested-An Effort to Blacken
the Character of the Woman
Whom He Claimed was the Only
Person He Ever Loved.

Minneapolis. December 2s.-Another
chapter of the confession Of Harry Hay
ward. murderer Of Catherine Cling, has
been made public. It is to the effect that
Miss Helen Hale. daughter of W. E. Hale
a prominent attorney here. was the only
girl the murderer ever loved and when
she was about to become the wife of DR..
Hayworth. a physician of Chicago. Hay
ward hired a detective to dog the steps
OF the prospective bridegroom to see if
something could not be found that would
injure his matrimonial prospects. Moth
ing definite was found. Shortly after the
marriage. which was brilliant social af-
fair. DR.. Hayworth and his bride went to
Chicago. Later Mrs. Hayworth returned
10 Minneapolis for visit. While there
the husband suddenly died. Hayward.
who was in Chicago. notified the bride
that her husband was I'll and needed her.
She went immediately, and found her hus-
band dead
Harry Hayward as a friend Of the fam
ily and OF herself. took charge Of the ar
rangements. He dined with the widow
at one OF the smaller hotels of that city,
and, according to his confession. poison
ed her. She mysteriously died there.
The confession also states that the death
OF her husband was caused by Hayward
though in what manner he was taken off
Hayward does not tell. The deaths caused
wonder at the time. but there was no
thought OF murder.
Minneapolis. Mimi, December 2S.-
w. +. Hale. when seen to-day with ref
erence TO the publication of one of the
suppressed portions of Harry Hay
wards confession to the effect that he
had caused the murder of DR.. Haworth.
the husband Of Mr.. Hale's daughter,
in Chicago. in April, 1889, he said:
There is absolutely no truth in the
story. / was called into the Hayward
case while he was undergoing an ex-
animation at the West Hotel. and I
washis counsel until other counsel came
into the case. While he was in iail in
formation came to me of a plan to
lynch him, and it was thought best to
remove him to st. Paul. He was in
great fear of a mob and sent for me.
When l came he stated that he did not
believe he would live TO be tried. and
NE.
that is he was hung his parents would
know the exact facts. He then went
on and told the story of the Cling mur-
der substantially as Blixt told It on the
stand. He did not then. or at any
time, ever state that he had ANYTHING
TO do with Dr.. HawOrth's death. But
l withdrew from the case. knowing his
guilt l thoroughly investigated the
cause OF DR.. Haworth's death at the
time It occurred, and had a pOst-mor-
tenn examination made by some of the
best physicians in Chicago. and | want
TO say now that all the facts and cir
cumstances absolutely preclude the
idea that Hayward or any other person
had anything to do with his death.
Any statements that Hayward may
have made concerning the matter are
absolutely false and untrue. The state
ment that Hayward was in Chicago at
the time Of DR. HawOrth's death and
notified my dauhter that he was i'll
and needed her, and that he took
charge Of the necessary arrangements
and dined with her at one of the small
er hotels, is absolutely false. cruel and
hbellous. My daughter left Minneapo-
lis on Saturday evening, expecting to
meet her husband at the depot in per-
feet health and she knew nothing to
the contrary until she arrived at the
hotel and found him unconscious and
in charge Of the physicians. He died
Sunday noon. I arrived that day, and
with his father took charge of the
funeral.
Il never heard Of Hayward's being
in Chicago at that time do not think
the people of this community. who
have known me and my family for sew
eral years, will believe otherwise than
that these statements are the blackest
lies ever published"
