Parts OF a Letter Found in Hay
wards Room.
When it became generally known
throughout the city that the murder of
Catherine Cling had been planned by
Harry Hayward, crowds of people cOngre-
gated at the county jail and stood on the
street looking up to the grated windows
hoping that they might catch a glimpse
of the greatest scoundrel unhung. The
Ozark flats were also visited by curious
throngs. and on every street corner
there were groups of men discussing
the terrible crime. The rooms in the
Ozark were carefully searched during
the day. and one of the inspectors was
rewarded by finding part Of sheet of
note paper underneath an old satchel in
the clothes closet of Harry Hayward's
bedroom. To all appearances the scrap
of paper was portion of letter which
it had been the intention of Hayward to
destroy. He had evidently torn 1t into

confronted by Elder Stewart. the con-
viction that all was over with his broth
er forced itself upon his mind; He did
not even seem to realize how deeply his
own cowardIy actions had involved him,
or. if he did, the very realization of it
had s!upefied him. He isat down. the
picture of despair. and told, wit h many
bitter sobs,

as he knew it. He spoke slowly and
with apparent effort. Not word was
uttered by any one person lest the un-
raveling of the tangled web of crime
should be hindered. The exact words
of his recital were not given oIt, but
they told a story of brutal cunning,
deep villany and unspeak able horror.
which can scarcely find a counterpart
in fiction. The listeners were satisfied
that he told the truth. They were
obliged to believe il. Besides they
knew of the story he had told Elder
Stewart for some time and only needed
a confederation.
On Tuesday. Dec. 5. Elder Stewart in
formed the police that Adry had come
TO him three days previous to the mur-
der and Informed him that he was
afraid that Harry, his brother, intended
TO murder Miss Cling for her insurance
moneys. The elder remarked that he
did not believe it. for, though Harry
was knave, lie did not believe he was
a fool. So Adry went away again. 1t
appears that some time previous to this
Harry broached the matter of the mur-
der to Adry. and the latter attempted
TO dissuade him from his hellisn pur-
pose.
Harry, however, was determined to
secure the money on Miss Ging's in
surance policy. and Informed his brother
that he would get it no matter what
ever happened.
ERe Threatened to Kill Him
If he did not keep still about the mat
ter, and. fearful of his own life, the
miserable Adry held his peace. Time

became very indignant and asked the
agent If he suspected him of burning
buildings for insurance that he should
refuse to take his risks, and received
for reply:
II know that you have been extreme
ly unfortunate of late in having your
houses and furniture burn up, and do
not care to take your risks. that's ALL"
Ii the Haywards were connected with
the defrauding OF the insurance com.
panies. they were, of course, never
known to have any apparent connection
or cOgnizance Of the deals. for in every
instance the policies were taken out in
the names of fictitious persons. Con-
sidering these facts. it is no surprise
that the Haywards are connected with
more extensive and horrible crime.

ADRY'S CONFESSION.
Ofc ial Transcript Seen by q
Globe Reporter.

Of1c fal Transcript Seen by O
Globe Reporter.
A reporter for the GLOBE was yester-
day shown copy of the transcript of
the minutes of the stenographer who
took down verbatim the cross -eXamina-
tion of Adry Hayward and his confess
sion. The copy was shown him. how
ever, with the understanding that not Il
Ing contained therein should be used
for publication. Many people have
doubted that Adry ever made confess
sion, and believed that the authorities
were working the old dodge on Harry
for the purpose Of forcing him to an
open confession. The transcript seen
yesterday puts an end to all doubt.
It contains mass Of evidence that
reads like romance and eXemplifes
that truth Is Rstronger than fiction, and
that there are villains in real life who
can put to shame any of the imaginary
and fictitious gentlemen.
Not until the trial will the full con-
fession be given to the public. 1t con-
tains too many valuable facts and
pointers to be allowed publicity, at
least the county and police authorities
are inclined to believe.

sheriff is entitled to great deal of
credit himself in the matter, and it is
understood he is the person who first
conceived the theory of the guilt of
Blixt.
Harry Hayward declined to say
word yesterday regarding the confession
of his brother. His attorneys had sealed
his lips, and 1t was with an air of his
old bravado that he greeted the news
paper reporters who attempted to inter-
view him. He appeared restless during
the day and paced his cell in a nervous
manner that Indicated the turbulency
of his thoughts.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-Vsillsnt was exeouied this
(MondAy) morning at 7:l0 o'clock. His
last words we're: "Death 20 society; long
live anarchy" There we're no incidents Of
an exciting nature other than this. The
execution Of valiant was dete mined upon
yesterday. The news was only known late
last evening. People began gathering soon
afterwards and the crowd kept increasing
rapidly In size until two o'clock this morn
ing. when a hns rain commenced 10 fall.

square, from which the people we're driven

hour the Gardes Republieaine arrived
on the scene. The cafes and wine shops
we're all crowded with the lowest class Of
citizens who loudly commented upon the
iniastice Of sending valiant to the guillo-
tine. as be had killed nobody. -Four COM
panies Of fGardes Republieaius and n squad
ron OF mounted gardes formed around the
square. Meanwhile the crowd continued
TO increase and the signs Of approaching
turbulence we're noticeable. An ugly rush
of men aud women mp the rue de La
Requisite took place ht four o'clock, but
Was stopped BY the police. The wooden
soahold upon which Vaillant was TO be exc
cuted arrived at 4:15 a. m. and was al once
put up.
Ths decision that valiant mast die was
regarded as a defeat for the revolutionary
party and a triumph for the oppoftunists
who since the bomb explosion, have been
demanding an enforcement Of vigorous
msasufea ana the stTictest application OF
the law as a lesson TO anarchists. The fate
of valiant nominallY rested with Presi-
