Recent Revolving Grave Rob-

Indignation.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 70 The recent
revolving grave robberles in this city
have aroused the people to the highest
pitch of indignation, and at 8 o'clock
last night mob began forming in the
streets, the avowed purpose being to
burn the Kansas medical college in
which, during the past three days the
bodies of two well known women have
been found. Both had been stolen from
their graves soon after burial. The po-
lice learned during the afternoon that
there was movement ON foot to as
semble mob to sack the institution,
streets. Later the faculty of the col
lege called upon the police for protec-
ton. The students were all sent home
and large squad of policemen was de-
tailed to guard the college bnilding.
.. Troops Ready to Respond.
A detail of militiamen from Battery
B of this city is stationed at their ar
senal to prevent capture of the arms
stored there. Upon the request of the
sheriff the governor has ordered the in
fantry company at Lawrence to be
ready to respond to call at any mo-
ment. The men are now assembled at
the station at Lawrence.
While it is believed the precautions
that have been taken will prevent any
violent demonstration during the night,
the men in the streets are loud in their
threats.
Tuesday, A. N. Drake of North To-
peka, whose wife died last week, dis
covered that her grave had been robbed.
The corpse was found at the Kansas
City Medical college. On Monday, l.
o. Van Fleet, who had buried his wife
but few hours before, found her
Mutnated and Disfgured Remains
on the dissecting table at the college.
This discovery resulted in the arrest of
/. A. johnson, student who acts as
janitor of the institution. At 8 o'clock
Mr.. p. Ell. Lillis, identified the third
body at the college as that of his
mother who died recently. These reve-
lations were the cause of last nights
demonstrations.
Great indignation prevails through
out the city that the authorities of the
college should permit the robbing of
graves when they could secure all the
bodies necessary from the cities by pay
ing express. The United Workmen
resolved not to employ in their families
any of the physicians connected with
the college and denounce Governor
Morrill, for calling out the militia.

LAST HOURS ON EARTH
The Condemned Man Shows Wonderful

The Condemned Man Shows Wonderful
Nerve.
Hayward spent his last day on earth,
as he has each day since his sentence,
talking. He would talk to anyone, and
he had no lack of opportunity, for his
guards were with him all the time, be-
sides visits which he received from rel
atives and reporters. When reporter
entered at o'clock, he said:
Hello, old man, on your final visit?''
Well, I'm sorry can't be with you fell
lows longer, but somehow haven't the
say of it. Say, do you know" he said
suddenly, as if some important thought
had struck him, 'are you aware what a
horrible thing it is for half dozen men
to deliberately put one poor devil to
death in place crowded with people
eager to see it done. The world is de-
generating, my boy, the world is rotten.
What are the people thinking of when
they crave admission to such perform
ance."

"What were you thinking OF when
you plotted the death of that girl? was
asked
He started am instant as if the ques-
tion dazed him. He made no reply, but
carefully evaded the question, He

taken $40, 900 policy ON her life. This
insurance policy excited suspicion and
the police looked up the movements of
Hayward on the night of the murder.
1t soon became evident that he could
not have committed the deed as he had
attended the theatre the night in ques-
ton.
Put I'm the Sweat Box.
Notwithstanding Hayward's alibi his
familiarity with all the business deal
ings and habits of Catherine Cling was
such that the officers felt warranted in
subjecting him to close questioning.
Accordingly he was put in the sweat
box and for Is hours was subjected to
almost constant questioning by Mayor
Eustis in his private Office in the city
hall. He answered all questions fully
and was released, though kept under
constant surveillance by the police.
Meanwhile new light had been
thrown on the case by L. M. Stewart,
the family lawyer. He wrote note to
Assistant County Attorney Hall, telling
him of a conversation which he had
with Adry Hayward few days before
the crime. Adry had outlined the plot
to kill Miss Cling to him, as Harry told
it, including the hiring Of Claus A.
Blixt, engineer Of the Ozark, to do the
deed. Blixt was at once arrested and
ON Sunday, Dec. 9, broke down and
confessed that he shot Miss Cling at
Hayward's request, the object being to
secure the insurance money.
His Trial and Conviction.
On Jan. 81 Hayward was put on trial
and it proved ohe Of the most protracted
and sensational ever witnessed The
most damaging testimony was that of
Blixt the actual murderer, and Adry
Hayward, who helped with his testi-
mony to tighten the moose about his
brothers. neck. Over 100 witnesse were
examined and a mountain of evidence
was piled up against the accused. On
March 8 verdict of guilty was
brought in by the jury and Judge
Smith sentenced Hayward to death.
An appeal to the supreme court was
taken, a new trial denied and on Dec.
Z, after all dilatory moves had been ex-
hausted by Hayward's attorneys, Gov
ernor Clough named Dec. IL IS the day
of execution.

Madison streets, the heart of the retail
section of the city, by some unknown
person who became alarmed at the
heavy clouds of smoke and steam that
were floating about the Boston store.
Several fire companies responded and
the appearance of the firemen created a
panic among the crowds of people in
the store. In the scramble to reach fire
escapes and elevators showcases were
broken, crockery was smashed and a
number of persons were slightly in
jured. The firemen were unable to
find any trace of fire.

HAYWARD'S AWFUL DEED.
Crime for Which He Suffered the Ex-
treme Penalty.

Crime for Which He Suffered the Ex-
treme Penalty.
The crime for which Harry Hayward
paid the extreme penalty of the law
was one of the most remarkable in
modern history. Reared in the lap of
luxury, the pet of his fathers houshold.
Hayward had from life of ease and
idleness turned to gambling, which,
from pastime, grew into passion.
His love for gain developed till the in
stincts of humanity were fairly crowded
out of his life.
Part of Harry Hayward's time was
occupied in managing the Ozark fats
for his father, w. w. Hayward. There
he and he and his older brother, Adry
lived. There also lived Catherine
Cling, a dressmaker, quiet, thrifty
young woman, who had saved several
thousand dollars by her industry and
economy. Harry was frequent caller
at her rooms, and gradually he acquired
certain influence over her. She be-
came party to his gambling schemes
to the extent of furnishing him funds
with which to play the faro bank.
The Murder of Miss Cling.
On the morning of Dec. 4, 1894, Min
neapolis was electrified at the news of
most mysterious murder. About $3.50
on the previous evening the dead body
of woman was found on lonely por-
ton of the Excelsior road. 1t was
taken to the morgue and later identified
us Miss Cling. Detectives went to
work on the case but for time did not
find anything that might serve as a
clue. Then Hayward told group OF
friends that she had been murdered,
and murdered for her money He told
the police that he had loaned the muir
dered woman $4,000 with which to EN-.
large her business, and as security had

He spoke pleasantly as he walked with
Deputies Bright and Anderson on either
side and little behind him. AS he
came into range with the Office WIN
dows there was a howl of exultation
from the crowd without. He paid no

and said: Good evening, gentlemen"

Hayward's Farewell Speech.
There was mark in the middle of
the trap and Hayward carefully ad-
justed his feet to the lines. He had
hardly done SO when Sheriff Holmberg,
who stood on the right of the con-

"Have you anything to say?'
Hayward began: "Well, yes" and
paused. Presently he resumed
"Well, there has been some curiosity
about my case. / know that some of

Then he spoke to various members of

there had been no break, he said that he
