Cling w. w. Hayward, Harrys father,
declared that both of his sons would be
cleared; that Blixt was confesscdly a no
torious liar, and that his various confess
sions would have no weight. He added
that the defense had evidence that Blixt
was in the power of gang and committed
the crime under their dictation with the
understanding that if discovered it should
be ascribed to Harry Hayward.
This gang, he added was not composed
of Minneapolis people. Mr. Hayward,
ST.. refused to account for the behavior of
Adrian, the elder brother, saying 1t would

made long and succinct statement to Il.

purport of which was that she had long

She tried in vain to countcract it, Blixt

HARTFORD Dos Is Jack Cronin was
hanged in the Jail hers at o'clock this
morning. Cronin was just common
murderer who on Oct. q, 1893 for fan
cicd grievance shot Albert Skin
ner i'm SINNERS own yard without giving
his victim chance for his life. The
hanging is interesting because il is the
first under the new law requiring the ex-
ecution TO take place at night in the pres
enco of few designated witnesses, and
because it was accomplished with an
automatic" gallows, modification OF
one used in Colorado.
The Coloiadog allows was designed To
save the feelings OF tho sheriff because
with 1t the prisoner hanged himself. His
weight on the platform opened valve
that let n quantity of water run out of
vessel and when it was all gone 1t re-
leased IL heavy weight that jerkcd the
prisoner into the air and broke his neck.
1t was objected to in some quarters for
the very reason that it did cause the pris-
oner to do all the work and saved Off
cial emotion. The modification substi
tutcd shot for water, which was released
by the sheriff putting his foot ON .
lever.
Thus the sheriff had to do the work in
stead of the prisoner. When the shot oil
ran out a weight jerked the prisoner into
the air with fatal effect. There Is a good
deal Of machinery about the scheme, in
Guiding u dial that the sheriff can watch
and see, as it were, the sands of his vie
TINS life running out. 1t had been tested
thoroughly on a dummy, and proved to
work perfectly which it did in CronIn's
case He was dead i'm moment.
