TIE WINoosKI CRooKEDNEss.-Forbes OF
the Boston Journal had an interview with
II. W. Mason on the cars, Wednesday night
in which the latter admitted the utterance oil
forged paper, and said he had used his I'M
cle's name, John L. Mason, for Endorsement
1t was not true, he said, that he had used
any money in Wall street. When pressed
to state where the large amount of funds OBJ
tanned by his forgeries had been used, he de
clined to specify, but said the money had
been used in his business, and that time
would show where he had made investments.
He further claimed that he was not half so
black as he has been painted, and that future
Developments may cause the public to Judge
his conduct less harshy than they do now.

day l have assisted the accountants
in charge of the books, and also my former
partners in the firm, Messrs Kennedy and
Sawyer. and also my uncle, John l.. Mason
l offered any reparation in my power. and in
proof of my sincerity surrendered all of my
property, as before ststed." Mason stated
that the creditors of the firm would no doubt
be secured against loss, rs the amount of his
own invested capital would make up large
share of any deficiency, while the worth and
standing of the remaining members of the
firm made ample security. Mason would not
divulge the place for which he was bound,
but said he was going West. and did not
know how long he would be absent. He
appeared somewhat detected and depress-
| ed. A few friends made him up small
purse with which to make his way West, and
in mentioning this fact he spoke with feel
| ing of gratitude. 1t is thought by those well
| informed in the case that young Mason
was drawn into some speculation by out
side parties, who made use of money obtain
ed from him in operations which entailed
large losses, and which were covered by funds
obtained on the forged notes.

HAYDEN, who was executed on the 25th
of February, at Windsor, vt, said, among
other things, that he had no recollection of
having committed the crime for which he
was about to suffer the extreme penalty of
the law, the friirti-T OF his wife. He was
entirely unconscious of having perpetrated
the greatest of all crimes. 1t is very difficult
indeed to credit his assertion. We used to
think that we had gone quite as far rs we
could go when We assented, from necessity,
to the position that a man might murder his
mistress in his sleep; but it is 4 tougher thing
to believe tina. man can murder
his wife when he is wide awake,
and yet not be aware Of the cir
cumstance. The only way to account for
the truth Of the statement is this, that Hay
den was drunk when he did the deed, and
could not rrcOllect when he became sober
what he hail done when drunk. But his
want of recollection could have no effect in
such case, in lessening his legal responsible
ity His drunkenness only could aggravate
his otIense, and so his life fairly was forfeit
ed, recollection or no recollection of the deed.
But if he was Ignorant of his having com
mitted capital crime because intoxicated
when engaged in it, his moral guilt was the
less, and he could truly say that he was not,
derer of his wife Few persons, we suspect.
will believe that he was not aware OF what
he was doing when he killed Mrs.
Hayden and public sentiment strong
" supports the Vermont authorities
in their course He had forfeited his life,
and he was Justly removed from the world.
His crime was the very worst form of muir
der that is common. Wife-killing has be-
come so very frequent, that were all the
wife-murdcrs that have taken place in the
last five or six years TO he published to-
gether, even the most indifferent of OBJ
servers would be deeply shocked. 1t is the
right course, therefore, that every man TO
whom the crime can legally he brought home
should die on the gallows. Death is terrible !
to all, and il is most terrible TO men who are
so cruel as to murder women, such men being I
in almost every instances the worst OF cow /
ards. Most men,i set upon by murdercrs, can /
make scme resistance, but women, though I
they have more moral courage than men. /
almost invariably yield their lives to vio- |
lencc, without resistance, fact well known I
to their assliiants. So they have the higher /
claim to protection, the hanging of /
women killers is protection for the sex. That |
HAYDEN deserved death is all the more plain !
because he was man of more than ordinary |
mental power, and therefore. he must have !
been aware that in committing murder he |
had declared war against the entire force OF
social order and was sure To come by the /
worse in the contest he had provoked. n |
dull stupid murderer might safely have his |
death sentence commuied TO imprisonment /
for life. hut when bright fellow commits /,
murder his brightness speedily should he I
made to pass 10 darkness. Boston Iycrf'iT. |
