to read paper containing Hawley's dying
words, to the following effect: "My time has
come to die. l shot Zach Hayes, bat shot

would kill me. l know 1 did wrong. l

Geve the holy spirit has changed my heart, I

hand on the doomed mans head and in
voked a blessing on him and bade
hum good bye, Hawley kissing him on the
cheek. The prisoners hands and legs were
then pinioned, the rope adjusted, the black
cap drawn over his face, and at the given
signal the deputy sheriff sprung the trap.
The fall was over eight feet, and death en-
sued without a struggle. Wednesday even
ing last Hawley was married in Jail to Mamie
Hawkins, his paramour. He had previously
sent note to her, in which he stated, that in
accordance with her expressed wish and his
own desire, he would like to carry out the
vows he had made to her, and that he wanted

his name. Accordingly, the two were united
in wedlock by Rev. r. A. Goodwin, of the

baptized and received into the church.
