DICK HAYES CONFESSION.
The Confession of the Alabama Brut
Finally Made Public.

The Confession of the Alabama Brute
Finally Made Public.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 6.-The writ
ten confession of Dick Hawes, the no.
torious wife and child murderer, will
never be published IN book form, as
was expected. Last night representa-
tive of the Press News Association
learned the contents of the confession
and the following details of the crime
which clear up some of its mysteries
are made public for the first time.
Hawes states in a confession that he did
not contemplate the murders until the
Friday night before they were COM
mitted. 1t was then his wife re-
fused to leave the city as she had
promised to do, and the plan of
putting her out of the way for
good was quickly decided upon. De-
tectives have been hunting in vain for
the conveyance Hawes was supposed to
have used to remove her body to the
lake and his confession clears up that
part of the mystery. His wife and child
were induced to drink some liquor until
both were intoxicated and then under
some pretext they were taken to the
lake and murdered on the banks and
thrown in. They were not killed
at the house, as has always been
supposed. He says negro wom-
an, Fannie Bryant, who was con-
victed as an accomplice, assisted him
from the beginning to tho end and when
the bloody work was finished they swore
terrible oath never to betray each
other. If arrested they swore to die
without betraying each others secret.
The confession admits that Fanny Bry-
ant told the truth in her testimony that
Hawes took little May from her house
Monday night. May would have been
murdered on Saturday night, but they
could not induce her to drink liquor and
another plan had to be adopted to get
rid of her. In concluding the confess
sion Hawes wrote that he fully de-
served the fate in store for him and he
wanted no one to die for his crime.

without avail. After undergoing much
intense suffering, Mr.. Hartley died the
next day.

yicksburg's Harbor.

VICKsBURG, June 6.-The dredging
now going on in the harbor of Vicks
burg is progressing very satisfactorily,
$50, 900 cubit yards having been removed
from the canal up to June 1st. The
canal has been deepened uniformly to
twelve feet on the gauge, and con-
siderable portion of it is down to the
eight-foot level.
If the appropriation for the harbor in
the present river and harbor bill can be
made Immediately available after the
bills passage, work will be continued
after the exhaustion of the present ap-
preparation, which will be in July, and
the canal deepened to zero.
This depth would be sufficient to ad-
nit steamers to the city front about
eleven months in the year. The Secre-
tary of War is authorized to make this
disposition of the fund allotted, and 1T
is believed he will do SO.
The present appropriation is suf-
ficient to cut the present canal to the
uniform level of eight feet on the
gauge, which will be deep enough o
allow boats to enter at all ordinary
stages of water.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Tho Hemingway Case.

JACKSON, June 3.-The Grand Jury OF
the Circuit Court is now investigating
the case of ex-Treasurer W. L. Heming-
way in it's criminal aspect with view
to finding true bill. State Treasurer
j. ]. Evans and other witnesses were
summoned before it to-day. Soon after
court met this morning quite an ami
mated and unexpected scene was pre-
sented. The Grand Jury wes brought
before Judge Chrisman to be sworn in
for duty, when District Attorney Miller
srnse and addressing the court said that
wanted each member of it catechised
TO the Hemingway case and ascer-
tain what his feelings were so that t
could be determined whether or not he
was competent juryman. Calhoun &
Green, attorneys for Col. Hemingway,
vigorously assailed the proposition on
the grounds that there was no warrant
for it and that it was most unusual
proceeding to interrogate Grand Jury
as to one particular case coming before
it. Judge Chrisman, however, ruled
under the District Attorneys motion II
was proper for the members to be cate
chised. Each Grand Juror was accord
ingly catechised by the court as to
whether he had formed or expressed an
opinion regarding the case and five on
their answers were excused as being in
competent Jurors and five were sum
moned as substitutes in places. The
defense reserved a bill of objections.
The Judge charged the jury to give this
case special attention. The civil suit
against the ex-Treasurer will be con-
tinued to the next term, but the criminal
case will probably be tried at this term
If the jury finds true bill.
