stand that 1t would be effected tonight,
and Hayward made his plans accord
ingly.
The impression of the key was Sc
cured in a novel manner The sheriff
permits each prisoner to have candle
in his cell. Hayward, it is supposed,
took his candle and worked it in his
hands until the tallow was made into
a dough. The key was then taken from
the box, which is near Hayward's cell,
and where it was left carelessly por-
ton of the time. 1t was inserted in
this waxy greasy substance and an ex-
act impression was obtained
Money was to cut quite a figure in
the plot, and it was agreed that s., 600
would be small price to pay for the
delivery of Harry Hayward. 1t was
necessary to secure several persons to
assist in the matter Two men beside
klerce were necessary to sandbag-
g1ng act, and these were to be hired
for the occasion. A man was to be
outside who was to carry Hayward off
IN closed wagon, and he was to be
In on the deal, and private detective,
who cuts quite a figure in the matter,
was to be the fifth person. Each was
to receive $1,0Go for his part in the mat
ter, and it was arranged that five one
thousand dollar bills should be cut in
two, and half of 1T given to each con-
spirator shortly before Hayward at
tempted to flee. The other half was to
be retained by person whose name
must remain secret for the time being
AS soon as Hayward was safely away
the other half of each note was to be
given to the persons who were in the
conspiracy, and the two halves We're
to De pasted together and cashed.
MONEY WAS plentiful.
Relying on the aid of Kierce, Hay
ward made his plans to escape this
evening. He even went into the de-
tails of how much undercIothing he
should take along. He secured the
necessary money with which to pay
his way on his trip to Africa and have
little capital with which to start.
Last night, when it was known that
the plans of the sheriff had been frus-
trated through the publication of the
matter in the Journal, Kierce was
sent around to see Hayward, and he
informed him that the date must be
changed to last night. Hayward was
somewhat surprised, but he accepted
the conditions. About 7:45 last even
ing the deputies in the Sheriff's office,
headed by Phil Megaarden, decided
upon little surprise party for their
prisoner. Headed by the weighty ex-
municipal court officer. they marched
up the stairway leading to the tier oc-
cupied by Hayward. The prisoner was
standing eXpectantly waiting at his
door when they arrived at the top of
the third gallery, but when the party,
consisting of Deputy Megaarden, Otto
e.. Langum, Lewis MaiSh and Gordon
Bright, entered the cell and without
a word began to search the prisoner
he Wilted. First they searched his
pockets. All they found was $36 in
bills and silver. Kierce had, however,
instructed the party that Hayward
had recently secured more money, and
the search was continued. The pris-
oner was told to strip, and he stripped
when the command was given in a
tone of voice that did not admit of
argument Under his underclothing,
next to his flesh, was found belt
There were three compartments in
this belt One contained $72O in cash
and the other $500 in cash. Bills were
used, and they were of a large de-
nominations so that they could be
compressed into the smallest possible
space. There was another article in
the canvas belt, and it was a secret
cipher. From its appearance it is evil
dent that there are two ciphers in ex-
istence, and it is supposed that it was
prearranged so that Hayward might
communicate with friends, who have
the key, and after his liberation he
would let them know exactly what
route he had Travelled and where he
was without disclosing the nature of
his trip to any one, who might take it
upon himself to examine the mail re-
ceived by firm friends
