"PULL HER TIGHT, l STAND PAT'

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. II, 1856
Keep up your courage boys, pull her
tight; l stand pat, Good bye. With
the words upon his lips and a malicious
sneer upon his face Harry Hayward
was launched into eternity at 200 o'clock
i this morning. Hayward spent the time
until midnight with Edward Gooodseil,
his brother Adry and a stenographeT
Supper was served at midnight and the
visitors departed. Hayward ate a most
hearty supper and appeared to greatly
enjoy this, his last meal. AT one O'Clock
Father Timothy of the East Side, and
Rev. VIM. Wilkinson visited Hayward.
Upon returning from the cell they re-
ported that there was practically MOTH
ing of a religious nature discussed by
them, although Hayward said that he
forgave all his enemies and thanked
them for coming.
The ministers did not pray with him,
nor did he seem to want them to.
At LIS Deputy Sheriff Phil Megarden
entered the corridor and read the death
warrant. Hayward proceeded to make
his toilet. Deputy Sheriffs Bright and
Anderson acted as Wallets. Hayward
calmly removed his standing collar, re-
placing it with one of the rundown
variety, and a small white tie, which
Deputy Sheriff Bright tied for him.. hen
he changed his coat and vest and appear
ed in a neat cutaway coat, high cut vest,
dark trousers and same shoes. The only
trace of nervousness was shown by his
repeatedly wiping his hands with a silk
handkerchief. All this time Deputy
Sheriff Megarden was reading the au-
thority of the Governor for his .execu-
ton. When he had concluded, Hayward
calmly brushed his clothes with a small
whisk broom. Then he turned to Me-
garden and said:-''You didn't read all
of that, did you? Looks as if there was
more there"
Megarden replied that he had finished
the document and took his, departure
about 100. After Megarden had left,
Hayward paced up and down the corri-
dor a few times and hen called out to
DR.. Burton:-"fWell, doctor, it's getting
pretty close, but if you think you will
forget your lines, I will try and coach
you. This is the last hanging that I
will have anything to do with. This is
apparently my last day on earth"
when Harry Hayward is hung. his
ghost will. turn around and say that it
IS ashamed Of his body" yelled Hayward
to a group on the lower floor

down there put that in or you will feel
