that the fellow disappeared so abruptly,
and that Hay ward never said anything
about him. | am free to confess that
several of US had our own ideas on the
subject, and gave that guy up for dead
as soon as we heard he had disappeared.
Hayward did say, believe, that the fell
low had gone back to Albany. and that
he had failed IN his designs to get hold
OF the check and insurance policy"
Ibid Hayward display any unusual
amount of money after the man dlsap-
peared?" was asked.
IL think did hear some remark TO
that effect" was the reply, "but 1 won't
say Tor sure. Nobody ever wondered. |
guess, where Hayward's money came
from. They were all out for the stuff.
and none Of them were questioning the
others methods of getting money.
Sometimes Hayward would have roll
as Dig as your arm; then again he
wouldn't have but a few dollars. But
ne always loosened as much with big
roll as he did with little one. | have
heard him talk about murders. and he
never did seem 20 care whether any,
BODY was croaked or not. He laughed
when he heard the fellows in st. Paul
were 10 be strung up, and said nobody
would ever have the satisfaction of put
ting rope around his neck"
what was the name OF the man
whom you think Hayward killed?"
Il didn't say he had killed him." was
the uneasy reply; II said | didn't know
anything about it; only heard funny
remarks about it at the time. and drew
my own conclusiOns.''
What were your conclusions?"
Nv ell. now. what's the uSe telling
you that? What | would say wouldn't
cut any hgure. 1t wouldn't do no good
anyhow, and it wouldn't help you anV.
Let 1t go at that, will you?'
do you remember any saloons fire.
quented by this stranger?''
y have seen him at the Brunswick
one night sitting on the bench in the
front ONCE. He was in low spiri(s at
the tlme, and l think the prOprletors
tooK MIN tor sleeper and requested
MIN not to sleep on the bench. [ saw
him one night at McDermolt's on Robert
street and again at Patsy O'COnnor's."
What Kind of a looking man was
he?''
He was thin, sickly looking man,
little bent and about forty years Of
age. He was tall and wore a suit of
dark gray clothes with a flowing black
necktie. For time he was taken for
fly cop here on some job and we gave
him the marble heart, but afterwards,
when he got to moving around with
Hayward. the boys spoke TO him and
then forgot him. He wore bIOnde
muStache and had habit of Rubbing
his fingers over his eyes. The lids
seemed always bloodshot."
The story is given for what it is
worth. The fellow who tells it mad.
vertently spoke of it to a detective
friend, who IN turn gave the GLOBE the
TIP. When asked about it, the gambler
eVlnced desire to avoid the subject,
and it was only by dint of hard work
that he was induced to say anything.
He refused absolutely to give the
strangers name, and SAID it could be
found out at the st. Peter street room
where he used to live. Naturally it is
hard TO find that room, as there happen
to be quite number of rooms on st.
Peter street. Inquiry at the Brunswick
failed 10 revive any memories of the
stranger. So many people go in and
out and lolter about the hotel day and
night tnat the proprletors never think
OF Keeping tab on them. The night
clerk at the Astoria has no recollection
OF such case, but does remember a
slckly man who boarded there for
While under the name of Atkins. The
night clerk was convinced that il was
not his name. as he received mail ad-
dressed in other names. The chances
are that Hayward got possession OF the
check and insurance policy and dumped
the stranger in the river.
