do so. Mr.. Eustis said that, with the police
officials, he had subjected Hayward to an
examination lasting some fourteen hours.

kept track of his whereabouts. The next
morning after his release Harry had come
into the Mayors office voluntarily and
talked over the crime. He told of Miss
Ging's gambling propensities, and said he
had seen letters and kilograms showing it.
The Mayor drove with him to his apart
ments, where Harry voluntarily handed over
the documents These were then offered in
evidence. The kilograms were those passing
between Harry and Miss Cling when the
former was gambling in Chicago with her
money. The first two announced winnings
of $500 and $500 and the third said: I'VE

is to certify that l have given Harry T.
Hayward $375 to gamble with, win or lose
Kate Cling" Then the Mayor said he went
after Adry Hayward and drove to the trust
company where, out of Adry's box, were
secured the notes Miss Cling had signed.
Harry did not want to give them up, but
the Mayor insisted and finally took them
away with him. The party next went to
surance policies and other documents.
While at the Ozark Hayward had showed
the officers his revolver and pointed out
that it was loaded all around and was very
clean. Court then adjourned until Mon
day.
