tenn statement Of Harry Hayward, the full
text OF which makes $1,000 words, is In
many respects most remarkable docu
ment. IL was made under the most
formal conditions, aud with solemn asser-
lions on the murderer's part that he was
telling the truth.
The full text. published today, gives
for the first time the name OF one of the
victims and other important details which
have heretofore been omitted In the alb
stracts that have been printed. Not only
does Hayward claim To have murdered
during his brief career no less than five
different persons, but in describing the
various tragedies in which he figured he
shows an utter absence OF human feeling
and pleasure In his achievements that
mark him as an unusual type OF criminal.
The language used in describing his GRIM
inal adventures is in the same careless,
fiippant style that characterized his testi-
mony on the stand.
The first murder was that OF Carrie
Mass, near Pasadena, Cal, and he de-
scribes the affair thus: II met this girl
at dance, and, 90 cut 10 short, killed
her. She had money, and shot her and
buried her That Is all OF that. / look at
IL in this way-it was not much OF an
amount, it was 500 and some odd that
she had j got the money. She would
naturally holler, and l looked at IL that
sho would be better OFF dead.
"rherc would not be anybody to holler
around, ms she did not have any relations.
She was young, pretty and'a little bit on
the sporting order. The money was left
her by her father. 1t has always been in
my head TO Kill person, and not look at
their face after they are dead; because
there's that mind business. That leaves
an impression on your mind. That Is
what makes murdercrs confess. The con-
science bothers them"
First Victim Died Hard.
He then goes on TO describe how he got
her money on some pretext, inveigled her
out To drive in tho mountains and how he
shot her. It was fizzle he said, because
he did not figure il out as carefully as he
would have done later She did not die at
once bur lopped around. He buried her
as best he could, but worried about IL az
terward, and hired a man two weeks af-
ter TO go out and put her in n box and
throw it into the harbor at Los Angeles.
He knew this man MIME, but on the
principle OF honor among thieves, would
not tell IL. Nothing had ever come OF tho
matter.
Money, he said, was his first object in
life, girls the second and travel the third.
There was "A girl in Minneapolis with
whom he was going, who had 5000 q
year. He planned 10 kill her, but did not,
because there was no way he could get her
money. But he longed TO do the deed.
"She used 10 make me so id mad"
said Hayward, THAT l wanted 10 choke
her. l can understand now how Durrant
killed those two girls in san Francisco
with pleasure"
Once when tending bar in Long Branch
he had killed consunptive man who
came there and who had money. The
consumptive had money and wanted To
die The name, Harry refused to tell, on
the ground that he had an accomplice
who might get into trouble now. The
murder was by shooting, too, and the body
was thrown into the river.
Then there was Chinaman killed in a
gambling quarrel, and the brother of the
Mexican girl at HI Paso Del Norte, and,
lastly, Miss Cling.
Warning From the Dead.
One of Harry's auditors asked him IL he
ever saw spooks. He replied that he often
saw faces, but not Of real people. Gather
inc Cling had never bothered him after
death, but the girl whose brother he had
killed once appeared to him before the
Cling killing and said: Harry, look out
Look outV'
The object of the Cling murder was
money and hatred He hated the girl be-
cause she was SO stingy-he had obtained
$3.50 of her moncy-and mean aud sus-
picious. She had way of putting her
hands on him and piuching him that
made him SO mad he wanted to choke
her. and could scarcely keep from IL until
the time was ripe.
The stories of Blixt and Adry on the
stand were practically correct and Harry
exonerated Adry from all criminal con-
nection with any OF his schemes. Blixt,
he said, was surely hypnotized and was
not responsible. He felt sure that the
man should not have been given but two
or three years in prison, instead of a life
sentence. In closing his statement Hay
ward said
81 have told the truth, so help me God
IL there Is God III there is, he certainly
won't blame mr, rs | have honestly fol-
lowed the dictates of my conscience.
Don't say that I'm sorry, for l am not.
have made my bed, and will lie in IL with
out kicking have had my fun, and will
pay for it.
He admitted knowing lot about green
goods and had used counterfeits a good
deal, but would not tell what he knew, as
Il would endnngcr others.
