tone, so nothing could be heard be-
low, In the cells below him other
prisoners talked and sang songs,
their gayety sounding strangely' out
of 4)lace. The windows of the cell
room were covered with blankets to
keep every ray of light from passing
out. The air was hot and close, but
Hayward, with his coat and vest
open, rattled along with his story.
Boom! "What's that," asked Hay-
ward. as a heavy body fell with a
jar that shook the jail, and a sound
that could be plainly heard in the
large cell room. The sound was that
of the first test of the gallows in the
cell room on the north side of the
jail. The first test was made at
9:50. Six minutes later the sound of
another heavy body told that Sheriff
. Holmberg was continuing his re-
hearsal.
IXGERSOLLIAX.
Harry Doesn't Appear to Have
Been a Christian.
Some one told Hayward that an at- j
tempt might be made to revive |
him after death. He didn't take much j
stock in this. The Savior, he said, was
resurrected, but he thought nothing of
the sort could occur in his case.
"May be you don't want to come
back after you get into the next ■
world?"
"Probably I won't, if there are any
pretty girls there and a chance for a
good time."
Some accumulated mail was brought
in by Capt. John West about 9:15.
There was a letter from R. J. Menden-
hall.
"What's this? A bill for flowers to ]
put on my box? Well. I guess not."
said he, as he began to read. The let-
ter referred to the fate near at hand
and advised him to turn' to Christ.
These letters Hayward turned over to
his secretary. Deputy Brusven, one of
the members of the death -watch,, to
sec if there was anything deserving
the consideration of the principal.
Then, with a sneer, he began discuss-
ing the contents.
"They mean well," said he, but it is
a case of religious excitement. When |
I am gone that is the end of me. I
might lie and be baptized, but what j
.would it amount to? .1 believe like Bob
Ingersoll. When a man dies he doesn't
know whether he is against a stone
wall or a gate." • r_. .........
DIDN'T BOND THE WIND.
DIDXJT MIXD THE WIND.
The Crowd Ontside Remained to
. the End.
The usual mixed crowd of curiosity
seekers, waiting to see they knew not
what, hung about the jail throughout J
the afternoon and the night, even un-
til after the execution had taken place
and the undertaker's wagon had car- :
ried away the dead body. The crowd
of the afternoon and early evening was i
a very large one. As the hours of the
night wore away, however, it dwin
dled down to something over .100 . peo- .
ple. Of this number one-half was
changing constantly. Some came and \
stood around for a few minutes or a j
half hour, or even an hour. They j
gazed at the grim, gray walls, with the
steel bars through which dim lights I
shone, and then moved on to their '
homes, only to be replaced by others !
of the same class, the crowd always j
remaining about the same in num- |
bers. Even in the early hours of the ]
morning, when the weather was cold I
and a stiff wind blew dirt and dust in I
every direction, they stamped on the
sidewalk, and when tired of discussing
the various features of the case they
swapped stories. There were no wo-
men in the crowd after 10:30, with the
exception of now and then one who
stopped for a few moments on her way
home.
The crowd was, however, of a char-
acter to keep the twelve police under
Sergt. Jim Allen, of the Third pre-
cinct station, thoroughly warmed. At
times they ached for a fight, and it
was only by extreme discipline that
the officers kept their tempers. The
crowd wanted to get as near the jail
as possible.

CONSUMPTION.
fhe Terror of the -9th Century. A Disease
That Attacks All Classes. Formerly
Considered Hopeless.
-' 'Consumption a few years ago was considered
Is absolutely^ incurable. The best doctors
today concede that this disease is cured in
many instances by proper treatment. This
complaint is attended by the inability of the
blood to absorb sufficient nourishment from
the food taken into the stomach to create new
tissue. This is due to the impure condition of
this great life maintaining current, or the
lmper^pct action of the stomach, kidneys, or
lome of the other important organs of the body.
The entire system becomes depleted. Ulcers
ire formed on the lungs, which gradually eat
Seeper and deeper, destroying them entirely,
W even causing instant death by penetrating
lome artery, the patient in the latter case dying
from hemorrhage.
Remove the cause and persuade the vital
centres of the body to perform their natural
functions and recovery is possible. Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa shonla be taken in every in-
Once. The most perfect results attend its use.
It is in the first place a wonderful purifier of
the blood, and in addition it cures the dis
ordered condition of the stomach, liver and
kidneys. These organs working properly.
and the blood purified and carrying nourish
ment to the tissues throughout the system, the
fiatient will rapidly gain, the ulcers on the
ungs will soon disappear, and in a short time
the sufferer will experience a return of health
find strength. Thousands have been saved by
Its use, and there are many to-day who should
avail themselves of its wonderful power while
there is yet life. Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is
perfectly harmless; it contains no poisonous

it for a turn-down collar?"

again, "what sort of a head are you

brightened up. i pffH: 7^

NYE AND HAYWARD.
Prisoner and Prosecutor Talk to
Bach Other.
County Attorney Frank Nye was a
caller on Harry yesterday afternoon.
He had not seen Harry since the day
he went home sick from", the trial.
Harry gave him a warm welcome and
said: "Mr. Nye, I am very glad to see
you. for I want to tell you that I have
no hatred toward you. I know you
only did your sworn duty, and you did
it well and conscientiously. I never
had anything against you. But I djd
hate Bert Hall. Hall is a vindictive
cuss, you know. Well, here I am.
I am now simply waiting to swallow
the gallows out in the other room
there."
Harry then went on to tell Nye that
he regretted every unkind and angry
word that he had said during his con-
finement "I know that I have abused
many of you, but I am sorry for it
now.' -*~"*r 7P:f. :.'p.'r.'
- "I am especially sorry for that ter
rible tongue lashing I gave Adry.* In
my heart I cannot feel that I hate him.
I freely forgive him, and regret ex-
ceedingly that the scene that was en-
acted here Sunday between us ever
occurred! " He is my brother, and I hold
nothing against him in my dying
hours." .■_.;-.
Harry told Nye that he much pre-
ferred hanging to going to Stillwater
for life. Ten years there, he thought,
would kill him.
"Some people can stand confinement,
but I can't. Ten years in the peniten
tiary would, kill me, and I know it."
Frank Nye told Harry that he was
glad to see him looking so well, and
especially glad to learn that he was
making a final statement. He said in
going:
"Well, Harry, good-by. I don't know
whether or not the prayers of a poor
sinner will avail anything or. not, but
just the same I say to you, from the
depth of my heart, God bless you." "
Father Cleary was to have called,
but was absent from the city, and
Father Christie visited the jail shortly
after dinner. He only spoke about five
minutes with Harry, but said that he
was received most kindly by the con-
demned man. He left, promising that
Father Timothy would call at •10
o'clock. Father Christie said as he
passed out that he believed that when
Father Timothy returned Harry would
be found willing to be baptised.

; CALLED THREE TIMES,
Thaddeus Hayivnrd Goes Often to
the Jail.
Harry Hayward's brother Thaddeus
called on him three times yesterday.
Early in the afternoon Thad called and
held a short conversation with Harry.
His talk was rather cold, seeming to be
the questioning of a physician rather
than the conversation of a brother. He
talked scientifically, speaking about
Harry's brain and the desirability of
having it after death to . make an
analysis of.
Dr. Hayward has been continually
trying to size up Harry's mental con-
dition by himself, apart from what
other physicians have said. Harry has
seemed to have some slight aversion to
talking with his brother, preferring to
disclose himself to others. As his
brother left yesterday morning Harry
said: "There is not a dishonest hair
in Thad's head." - ::.-lc:
Harry told Thad that he wished he
would tell his parents that it was
Harry's wish that they would not vis-
it him again. When they left him on
the day previous he said that he was
feeling in the best condition, was in
good, spirits and was light-hearted and
he said that he preferred his parents
to have the impression left at that
time when they did not think that it
was their last visit to their doomed
son.
Thad said he was glad to hear Harry
talk in that way and he left him prom
ising to come again. He was back
within half an hour and Harry ap
peared very glad to see him.
He talked very plainly with his
brother. He said "Harry, I have not
liked your course in the matter to
ward me. I think that as your broth-
er I ought to have had more from you
than I have." Later, after Thad had
left Harry, he returned, -having heard
a rumor that two men had confessed
to the murder to save Harry's neck.
He came to talk over the matter with
Harry and "see what his brother
thought of the rumor. Harry : was
exceedingly interested, -and said that
it aroused in him the old gambling
spirit. ,_ ; 77-772
"While I am a candidate for the gal-
rows," said Harry, "I feel that I still
have a chance. lam a 10,000 to 1
shot, so to speak. I may yet draw the
capital prize, you know."
Thaddeus told Harry that he had
f carried Harry's word to his pare*!??
I in regard ts "»» desire not to see them
I as: ..in before he died. The " brother
, said "Father and mother were very
1 glad to hear that you had decided not
Ito see then, again tonight. I spoke to
| father and he said that he agreed to
| it and was glad that it was so, as no
j good could come from another visit.
Mother disapproved of lt at first, but
' finally agreed to it as. long as it was
your wish and said that she would not
i come again."- 7:7-7. ■i'.i?'-'*:' '
Thad then left, saying he would be
back at midnight. Harry looked at
him in a queer and quizzing manner
as if to say: "You had better not
monkey much around midnight. You
may be too late."
JOHN DAY SMITH CALLS.
The Attorney I'jijh n Visit to His
Client.
At 6:45 John Day Smith called Upon
Hayward. Mr. Smith says that Hay
! ward did not request him to call, -but
[ the visit was made upon his own voli
tion, -i .-;_.-_:.
' Mr. Smith spent a half hour witl»
, him, and upon his departure had but
time to say the visit was entirely
I friendly and not a professional one.
"Hayward," said Mr. Smith, '.'will go
to the gallows with no more fear than
! he would go' to- his dinner. He is abso
lutely without fear, and will die like a
i man."
When questioned as to his sanity,
Mr. Smith sad that he believed that
he was as insane as any man in the St.
Peter asylum.' •'.-'•;.; " „-..".; yy.
"To my mind," said Mr. Smith, "the
man is insane."
"Hayward asked me to be present at
the execution. I will be present, bul
shall not see the execution."
"There is no change. in his de'.^yin-
or," said. Mr. Smith, "he is the tame
as he was two weeks or more ago. He
has made no professions of religion,
nor will he make any, to the best ft
my belief."
BOUGHT THE COFFIN.
Hnywnrd Sr. Arranges All of the
Sccexsary Details.
-: Yesterday morning W. W. Hayward,
Harry's father, brought to the jail the
coffin in which the mortal remains of
th? murderer will rest. The old man
' was tottering as he approached the
jail and tears streamed down his face.
All who saw him turned away with a
. deep sympathy for the old man, who
but vaguely realizes that the pride of
his life has been horirbly torn from
him. The. casket was draped in -rich
black broadcloth. The N. F. Warner
Undertaking company furnishes the eof-
fin. The trembling old man made arrange-
ments for the proper trimmings of the
coffin and the shroud. The body was
taken to Warner's establishment after
the hanging and the funeral arrange-
ments will be completed today.
HARRY WASNH. MARRIED.
Says His Story "Was Merely a
Fake. !
The story of the marirage of Hay-
ward seems to have no foundation in j
fact. At least Harry himself is author- l
ity for this statement .He was ques- I
tioned about the matter last night.
Dr. Hayward had been reported as
saying that he thought the story was i
a creation of his own disordered imagi- I
nation, but that Harry had made such !
a circumstantial story that he thought :
there might be some truth in it. This
■story was told Hayward, and he said: ]
"Well, I guess he's about right. I
wanted to see the girl and made up the j
story."
He was deeply interested in the talk |
the story had made, and in the state- j
ments made by Mrs. Goodman, the i
girl's mother, to the reporters, as well |
as in the results of her visits to the !
newspaper offices. .;-..-' I

MOLE ON HIS NECK.
Harry Had a Mark Indicating: His ,
Doom. j
About 5 o'clock Monday morning as
Harry Hayward had concluded his
statement to Stenographer Richard
Mabie and had let up on the terrible
recital of facts or fancies, which is
going to be published for the benefit of
■young Goodsell, who has proved such
a good friend to Hayward, he sent for
Dr. Hayward, his brother, and Dr.
Burton. These two gentlemen came In
answer to a call and were soon discuss-
ing the approaching hanging as non-
chalantly as though it was an every
day occurrence.
', Dr. Burton explained how if the neck
was dislocated the death was a pain-
less one, since the misplaced vertebrae
.pressed upon the spinal cord in such a
way as to destroy all feeling. The
question of the knot and whether it
was on the right side or the left, was
talked over and then Dr. Burton said:
: "By the way, Harry,, they say that
persons who have a mole on the left
side of the neck are doomed to be
hanged." p-V'X

Young Goodsell arrived at the jail
about 2. o'clock in the afternoon, and
'after j talking -with' Capt West a • few
moments - was permitted to .visit his

somewhat flustered and was much
more moved over the . circumstances
than his cold-blooded relative. He was
busy In securing • "copy" from Harry j

Harry was "much amused over thei

case. Never at any time was he any-

HARNESS FOR A HANGING.
Mike Quinlan tells an Interesting
story of a plan. which Harry Hayward'
I had of getting himself hanged in har
-1 ness and then running away to Europe.
i Quinlan says until three' days ago
, Harry., never expected . to hang. . He
i has been unable to convince himself
, that, with all his accomplishments,
' and money at his command,' he could
j suffer the death of a felon. Hayward
. was originally sentenced to hang on
j June 19. A few days before that time
| he had a conference with 'Quinlan at
I. which he proposed a scheme whereby
i he could be hanged and still not be
."hanged. A cleverly-contrived harness
, was to be concealed beneath hi-3
I clothes. The sheriff was to be "fixed"
I so that he would snap the noose Into
, the harness while he was adjusting the
black cap. Two doctors, also "fixed,"
i were to Inspect the body after it was
i cut down and pronounce It dead; the
i body, would be turned over to the pa-
I rents and thus Hayward would be
! smuggled off. ! : y,--'"'.
! "Now," said Harry to Quinlan, "you
, know of the show that was going
| around through the country three
years ago where they advertised to
hang a man with a rope by the neck,
let him fall through a drop seven feet
with the rope put on in the ordinary
way. ■ The man was called 'the man
j with the Iron neck.' People thought
! it was his wonderful neck that saved
. him from death. I Investigated the
' matter, stayed : around with the show
| people, as I thought it would be a good
. thing to know, as I might want to use
I it some time, but not so soon as this.
j "I want to tell y&u just how they,
• did it. The man was an ordinary
; man, but had lots of nerve and was
, careful with his apparatus. He had
a harness inside of his clothing, and
j showed it to me before he left. There
was a strap running up the back, and
when the rope was put around his
neck that strap was hitched to the
rope. . ' The cap was put on, the trap
fell, the man dropped through, stopped
' with an awful jerk, and was left hang-
I ing the usual time. Then he was cut -
down and supposed to be dead. That
! ended the show. There was a man
i some twenty years ago save this way
iln Kentucky. Now, this can be done
lin my case. All the people I will'"1
have to use will be the sheriff and the-
two doctors. I . think the sheriff cane.'

neck. The cap will be. on so- that no.

will pronounce me dead, and I wilt'

will think me dead. I will go to sorrier

satisfied. Then I will get even • withe-, j

live. Father and mother will arj- j
range with the doctors and I'm going.
to feel the sheriff. ...7.'P7pp7.i;-7i,^~
"Now, Mike," said Harry, as he fin-
I ished outlining the plan, . "I want you 7
to go to Chicago and' go to the dime* '
museums. You will find out who the
people were that -were giving that?-
show. Then go and see them at once

Of "Wonderful Value, and Free.
Tired bodies, pale and sunken cheeks,
haggard eyes, sleepless • nights and
weak nerves, are ruining our lives and
killing our people. No wonder these
poor sufferers bl.ss Dr. Greene for his
! great offer. He is the most successful
I specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and the discoverer of

Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He
has established a system of letter cor
' respondence at his office, 35 West 14th
St., New York City, by which all can
■ write him about their complaints, and
. by mentioning the symptoms they suf
fer from and telling him how they feel,
they will receive an answer from him,
, free of charge, giving a complete des

j what ails them. He gives most careful
attention to every letter, tells just
i what to do to be cured perfectly and

And all this costs nothing. No jour

The crime for which Harry Hay-
The crime for which Harry Hay-
ward this morning paid. the extreme
penalty of the law was one of the
• most remarkable in modern history.
The last year has produced three re
; markable criminals. Hayward, Dur
! rant and Holmes, but Hayward is
j easily the most notorious of the trio.
j .; Reared in the lap of . luxury, the
;: pet of his father's household, Harry
: Hayward had from. a life of ease and
: Idleness turned to gambling, which,
i from a pastime, grew into a passion.
r. His love for gain developed till, the
j instincts of humanity were fairly
I crowded out of his life. Yet . he
I moved in the best circles of society,
■ 1 and his fast life was only suspected
j .by the upper ten. Dark mysteries,
such as the Hamil murler, and the
death of Lena- Olson, which have
never been solved, have, been traced
with some degree of plausibility to
Harry Hayward, but no suspicion of
j them ever attached to him until the
| Ging murder stimulated speculation
j in his direction. -
• Part of Harry Hayward's time was
j occupied in managing the Ozark
j flats for his father, W. W. Hayward.
There he and his older brother, Ad-
ry, lived. There also lived Katharine
Ging, a dressmaker, a quiet, thrifty
young woman, who had saved sev
eral thousand dollars by her industry
and economy. She occupied one of
the upper suites of rooms with her
niece, Miss Louise Ireland. Harry
was a frequent caller, and gradually
he acquired a certain . influence over'
her. She became a party to his gam-
bling schemes to the extent of fur-
nishing him funds with which to
play the faro bank. He went to Chi
cago to find larger games, and while
there she sent him money by tele-
graph at his request. .:,;_...; : r _'.",;.'.

'the news of a most mysterious mur

•when he almost stumbled on the
'dead body of a woman, lying in a pool
df, blood. He ran to the house and
summoned his brothers, then hurried
to the nearest drug store and tele-
phoned to the police. The body was
tajken to the morgue, where it was
identified by the word "Ging" worked
I'm the underclothing. Not until 11
O'clock did the. doctors discover in
the eyeball the fatal bullet, which
ha]d entered the head at the base of
.trje brain. Before that, death was
thought to have been accidental,
'from the bruises found on the head,
and the circumstances of a horse
"and carriage driving wildly up the
road, which Erhart met just before
finding the body. Detectives went
immediately to work on the case,
and the rooms of the murdered girl
were thoroughly searched that night,
without finding anything which
might serve as a clue. Actual sus
picion did not rest on any one that
night.
HARRY BEGAN TO TALK.
Harry Hayward was one of the
first to give the authorities informa
tion. He told a group of friends, as
soon as he heard of her death, that
she had been murdered, and mur
dered for her money. He told the
police that he had loaned the .mur
dered woman $7,000 with which to
enlarge her business, and as security
had taken a $10,000 policy on her life.
Next morning the authorities took
up the matter in earnest, Mayor Eus-
tis himself directing movements.
The insurance policy excited suspi
cion. It was evident that Hayward
could not have committed the mur
der himself, for at the time Erhart
found the body he was attending the
performance of Hoyt's "Trip to
Chinatown" at the Grand opera
house. But Hayward's familiarity
with all the business dealings and
habits of Katharine Ging was such
that the officers felt warranted in
subjecting him to close questioning.
From 10 o'clock the morning after
the murder till 2 o'clock the next
morning Hayward was subjected to
almost constant questioning by May-
or Eustis in his privte office in the
city hall. There was still no evidence
to warrant an arrest, Hayward had
answered all question fully, if not
satisfactorily, and preserved an air
of cheery confidence."" He submitted
to detention that night, sleeping on a
lounge in the office of the chief of
police. Next morning he was re-
leased, though kept under constant
surveillance at the hands of the po-
lice. That afternoon he went to
Katharine Ging's funeral, and that
night he slept at home for his last
time on earth. Next morning he
called voluntarily at the mayor's of-
fice and told him of their gambling
transactions.
THE ELDER'S LETTER.
' Meanwhile new light had been thrown
on the case by L. M. Stewart, the fam
ily lawyer, familiarly known as "El-
der" Stewart. He wrote a note to
: Assistant County Attorney, Hall, Celling
him of a conversation which he had
with Adry Hayward a few days: be
! fore the crime. Adry had outlined the
plot to him, as Harry told it, including
'the hiring of Claus A. Blixt, engineer
■of the Ozark, to do the deed. That aft-
ernoon Adry and Harry were taken in
custody, and spent that night at the
central station, with the charge of
murder opposite their names. Friday
night, Dec. 1, Adry was brought face
to face with Elder Stewart, and broke
down completely, telling all he could
of the plot, though he knew nothing of
the circumstances of the murder. That
night Blixt was placed under arrest,
Wlvh oile Ole Erickson, who had been
"with him for several days previous,
a»d his wife was also placed' under de-
tention. '
Sunday, Dec. 9, Blixt broke down and
made A. confession, in which he said
that he drove Catharine Ging to the
lonely Spot on the Excelsior road, and
that Harry Hayward there met him
and - hot her there. The story was
plfilmy wrong, and Blixt was called
j up short ft his cohfession by being told
loi the discrepancies. . lie made a. tf&y ,

ond confession, admitting that he fired
that fatal shot himself. Harry had
not gone out to the scene of the mur
der, but put Blixt in the buggy with
Miss Ging, and left him to do the
work.
Public excitement was at a fever
heat and Harry and Adry were spirited
away to the Ramsey county jail for
safe keeping. • Dec. 13 the grand jury
found indictments against Harry Hay-
ward and Claus Blixt for murder in the
■first degree. The Hay-wards were
brought back to the city about Jan. 1,
and Adry was released, though, at his
own request, he was given the con-
stant company of a deputy sheriff.
Harry Hayward and Blixt were ar
raigned and their trial set for Jan. 21.
Hayward's father engaged for his de-
fense W. W. Erwin, the famous crim
inal advocate from St. Paul; John Day
Smith and A. F. Sweetser. County
Attorney Frank Nye and his assistant,
A. H. Hall, began work on the prosecu
tion.
TRIAL BEGUN.
TRIAL BEGUN.
At the time appointed the trial was
commenced before Judge iSmith. A
week and a half was spent in drawing
the jury, 200 men on the special venire
being examined before the twelve good
men and satisfactory to both
sides were found. One juror, Ira
Newell, after being accepted by both
sides, was found to have expressed
himself against capital punishment,
and was discharged.
The trial was one of the most pro-
tracted and sensational ever witnessed.
Over 100 witnesses were examined, and
the evidence, which at first seemed
scanty, piled up until Hayward's crime
became a mountain of guilt, and there
was scarcely a doubt of the result.
The most sensational testimony was
that of Blixt, the actual murderer, and
Adry Hayward, who helped with his
testimony to tighten the noose about
his brother's neck. According to Blixt's
story, Harry began working upon him
from their first meeting at the Ozark;
told him what to say at various times,
ahd finally told him that he was going
to kill Katherine Ging, and was going
to make about $10,000 on her. He was
going to get her to aslgn her life in-
surance policy over to him as security
for the money he had loaned her. At
'first he was going to take her riding,
and throw her against the rocks, so
it would look like an accident. Then
he sent Blixt out to buy a revolver,
an overcoat and a slouch hat After
that he formed the project of killing
her with a heavy T rail and throwing
her against the curb, so that it would
appear an accident. Finally, the even-
ing of Dec. 3, he bought Blixt some
whisky, and made him drink it, then
conducted him to a carriage at the
corner of Lyndale and Kenwood boule
vard and put him in with Miss Ging.
He drove her out to the lonely spot
shot her, and threw the body out of
the buggy. After driving a little way,
he turned the horse adrift and spent
the rest of the evening wandering
about town, establishing an alibi.
ADRY AND HARRY.
Adry Hayward told the story of his
dealings with Harry prior to the mur
der He and Harry had always got-
ten along well together. During the
summer Harry told him of a dress-
maker whom he was helping to make
some investments. In September Har
ry approached him, and asked him if
he wanted to make $2,000 by killing a
woman. He told Harry that he would
have nothing to do with that kino of
business. Harry told him then that
he knew of a hackman who would do
the business for him, that he would
hire the hackman to do it and then
kill him Oct. 30 Harry told him that
he had found a man with nerve enough j
to do what he wanted, and that man |
was Blixt, the engineer. Thanksgiving |
day he had a conversation with Harry.
in which he tried to dissuade Harry
from the deed, telling him that he
would hang for it. Harry flew into a
fit of passion, and told him that he had
already caused the death of three peo-
Die On the evening of Dec. 3, Harry
told him he had better go to the theater
that evening, as something was going
to happen. ■ He spent the evening at his
father-in-law's, and retired early.
About 3:30 in the morning Harry came
i
; to his flat and woke him up, telling him
I that Miss Ging had been murdered out
1 by Lake Calhoun. He went with Har-
I ry to Harry's flat, and there Harry get
! a Colt's revolver out of his trunk and
cleaned it. Pie remarked ■ that it .was
: not very dirty, and that it was "just
like picking up monry." After they
1 were arrested they were confined in the
I same cell. Harry made the remark
; that they were pushing Blixt rather
i close. He said: "Oh, well, Blixt w.._
I stick out, I am more afraid of what
I you might say than anybody else."
1 The hackman referred to in Harry's
I conversation was Peter Vallely, and
he ; was brought on the stand. He said
, that some time in July he drove Harry
j to the Ozark one morning and they
I had a conversation. Harry asked him
I if he would drive into the lake with
; a party .in the hack. He said he was
!no swimmer, and Harry suggested
1 that he might run the rig off without
I going himself and asked him what he
j would take for the rig.
M. D. Wilson, a liveryman, testified
I to seeing the Goosman rig in which
I Katherine Ging was driven to her
r death about 7:30 o'clock on the evening
I of : Dec. 3, and the occupants were Miss
j Ging and Harry Hayward.
] Maggie Wachter, called by the de
. fense, sprung a sensation by testifying
, that Blixt, in his private confession
' to his attorney in her presence, said
. that the. job had been put up between
him and Adry, . but in his published
statement this was all changed.
. :' HAYWARD ON THE STAND.
W. W. Hayward, Harry's father, and
I Mrs. Hayward, were both called by the
j defense, but were unable to add any
I material points. The defendant him-
I self was finally put on the stand and
j for two days stood a running fire of
j questioning with his usual sang froid.
lln fact, his general behavior all through
I the trial was so cool as to excite won
. derment. He denied the confession of
j Blixt and Adry point blank. A large
; part of hlq testimony was directed to
I establishing his alibi, but the utmost
j efforts of his attorneys, assisted by a
J cloud of witnesses, could not account
I for twenty minutes of his time, while
j he was located during that time by the
I testimony of George W. Jenks, who
| saw him from a street car platform,
I running across Hennepin avenue on
I Lowry hill, near where he is supposed
I to have turned the buggy and its doom
j ed occupant over to Blixt.
Monday, March 4, the evidence was
concluded, and County Attorney Frank
j M. Nye made the closing plea for the
state. The final effort for the defense
was made by W. W. Erwin, who spoke
through a day and a half of the ses
sion of the court.. On the morning of
Friday, March 8, the jury brought in
a verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree, as charged in the first
count of the indictment
Monday, March 11, Judge Smith sen-
tenced Hayward to death by hanging.
W. W. Erwin moved for a new trial,
and the motion was promptly denied.
On May 20, as no notice of appeal to
the supreme court had yet been filed,
Gov. Clough issued a warrant for the
execution, setting June 21 as the fatal
day.
Hayward's attorneys were dilatory,
and took their utmost time for every
move. Preparations were made, and
all the paraphernalia for the hanging
were ready, when on June 20 notice of
appeal was filed in the supreme court,
and a stay was granted. Papers in the
appeal were filed later, and the argu
ments of Erwln and Nye were heard
by the full bench at the October term
of court. Monday, Nov. 18, the deci
sion of the supreme court was filed
the opinion being written by -Justice
Canty and the memorandum by Chief
Justice Start. The decislo" upheld the
lower court on every contes-icd-point.
Ten days then remained in which r<^tice
of an appeal for reargument ciA_id j
be filed, and at the expiration of thaV
time- Gov. Clough was notified, but did
not issue the. warrant until Saturday,
Dec. 7. • Petitions . for clemency had
meanwhile come in great numbers, and
an attempt was made by prominent
physicians to have the sentence com
muted to lifer imprisonment on account
of Hayward's mental condition. On the
morning of last Saturday Hayward's
father and mother themselves appear
ed before the governor and besought
mercy for their son,' but all failed, and
In- the afternoon the warrant was de
livered to Sheriff Holmberg. Hayward
was notified by the sheriff, and made
a brief statement, without confessing'
any participation in the crime. Sun-
day he decoyed Adry, the elder brother,
to the jail with a message promising
, forgiveness, and reviled him in one of
the most dramatic scenes ever wit
-1 nessed. Through all the closing scenes
he preserved an almost unearthly
: cheerfulness and coolness of demeanor.
j except at intervals, when he broke into
cold-blooded threats against all who
j had been concerned in his conviction of
the crime.

TERHIBLE DISASTER BEFALLS
TERRIBLE DISASTER BEFALLS
A STEAMER OFF THE BRIT-
ISH COAST.
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 10.— Henry An
! ders, the sole member of the crew of
I thirty-five of the ill-fated British
J steamer Principia. the loss of which
j was reported yesterday, tells the fol-
lowing story of the disaster:
When off Cape Wrath N0v. 19 smoke
I was discovered Issuing from the
I hold. In a second the hatches blew
Into the air. At 2:30 o'clock in the
morning the steering gear got de-
ranged, and the vessel rolled heav
ily in the gale, the crew being pow
erless to direct her course. They
tried to lower a boat, having made
up their minds that it was useless to
stand by the ship and that she was
doomed, but the davits broke and the
boat was washed away with one
man in it. Notwithstanding this
piece of ill-luck it was determined to
attempt the launching of a second
boat, this seeming to offer the only
chance of saving those aboard, but
the second boat went the way of
the first, the second engineer being
washed away with her by the fury
of the waves. The two remaining
boats had been burned and the hap-
less crew were left with no means to
escape. The engines were finally
stopped for want of steam, the prog-
ress of the fire-making it impossible
to watch the boilers. Six men who
wei»e forward in the ship jumped
overboard in desperation, and two
others were burned to death.
AN AWFUL SITUATION.
Later on, by great exertion, some
steam was obtained, with which the
men tried to subdue the fire, but all
efforts proved fruitless. Attention
was then turned to trying to control
the vessel again, and the crew sue-
ceeded in getting the steering geei
repaired. The vessl was then head-
ed toward the northeast, with th«
fire increasing in violence and threat*
ening to spread to all parts of th«
ship. At mignlght on Nov. 20 th«
ship struck a reef, though no land
had been seen to give warning oi
the danger. As she struck the fore«
mast and mainsail went by the board.
Rockets were fired as a last resort,
with the hope of bringing assistance
that would take them off the ship.
The men also tried to launch a raft,
but it was washed away with thosa
on board unable to exercise any
control over it. The vessel then
sank.
Six bodies, including that of Capt,
Stannard, have been recovered. 77iy:-
