KEEPS UP HIS BRAVADO.
fhe Grand Jury of Hennepin
County Finishes the Mur-
der Case.
EURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
Will Be the Indictments
Against Harry Hayward
and Brute BliXt.

harry hayward slept SOunuIy last
hight in spite OF the guilty stain on his
soul. He retired to his hard cot at
O'clock and in ten minutes was sleeping
as quietly as a child. All evening he
was calm and Self-pOsseSsed, and once
I'm a while whistled softly to himself and
hummed over the air Of Sweet Marie"
He showed by his manner that he was
NOT concerned in the least, or If he was
his cOnsummate nerve enabled him to
wear perfect mask Of uncOncerI. He
chafes little under confinement, but
being hard citizen he is somewhat of
philosopher, and remarked rather
grimly to his jailery yesterday afternoon:
Pm probably better off here than
walking the streets of Minneapolis"
The jaller agreed with him, and they
both laughed. Hayward again repeated
his request eSterday that no one be al
lowed i'm to see him unless it was Sheriff
Eye or his father. lie is especially sore
against the newspapers, and said that
when he got clear of this business he
would square accounts with some of
them. However, Harry is not likely to
get clear from present indications, and
the law will do the squariug of accounts
with him.

always was able to adapt himself to cir
cumstances. He seemed willing to talk
TO the jailer Of the horrible death of Kit

conversation again took occasion to ad-

duplicating him in the murder.

nothing whatever to do with it''
During the afternoon Hayward ex-
pressed desire to know what had been
the result of the grand jury iuvestiga-
;iOnS, and wondered what kind of a
story his brother Adry had told before
that body.
Between and o'clock when he read
the evening papers and caught sight of
the telegram from Minneapolis which
mentioned that Hayward was one of a
large gang of swindlers. he laughed
boisterOusly and said between mis-
laughs:
That beats them all. What will they
print next? That certainly is the worst
ever heard. Tell them to bring over
my pals in the insurance swindles." he
added. sarcasticaIly, land We'll have a
good time here together"
These little Incidents show his frame
of mind, and indicate that he is not
seriously tr0 ubled, or. if he is. he has a
great amount of self possession. Fre-
quently during the afternoon he was

apparently and ate with a relish the
plain food placed before him. He
jocularly replied to several remarks ad-
dressed to him by the jailor, but once
when called to by fellow
prisoner, he vouchsafed no reply.
He has superciIious air about
him and evidently believes the thieves
and robbers confined in the cells below
belong TO a lower class of criminals.
He spent the evening reading and
smoking, and retired at o'clock with
as much carelessness and ease as he
might exhibit in his own apartments.

an uneventful day for him, but 1t is
likely there will be something new de-

Hennepin county attorney come over to
see him.
A good many people believe the story
that Hayward was at the head of gang
of Insurance swindlers, and for this
reason are inclined to think that ne was
