nix. You are about to meet your
God, and should express here your for
giveness for your brother as you did
so nobly to me to-day, and with
thoughts of your mother and father
before YOU. YOU should act as you have
during the last forty-eight hours, meet

Smith, my lawyer, also. He is a good

something here tonight which /

accord
With an effort Hay ward turned his
eyes upward and repeated in stri-
dent, meaningless voice, quite differ

been using, oh God, for Christ's sake
forgive all my sins
An empty mockery that, or the cry

What it was will never be known for
the doctor stopped him with the sug
tion that he had better not say any
thing. Hayward stood q moment in
thought as if telling the names or
those he wished to remember in his
last words
Satisfied apparently that all had
been done that he had intended, hc
half turned his head and flung back
over his shoulder Il guess that's all.
The straps were quickly adjusted.
As the moose settled down over his
head. ne said: Lets see, where does
the knot 90, under the right ear? No,
it's the left ear, isn't it? Please pull it
tight. Keep your conrage up. gentle

The prisoners face purpied slightly

said. Megarden stepped back, raised
his hand to the fatal signal and like a
shot the body dropped through the
opened trap. There was not a tremor
or struggle. The spectators waited
breathIessIy while the doctor listened
to the fiuttering heart. Thirteen long
minutes passed. Dr. Burton stepped
back and the spectators began to file

bound the hands They fell in order at
the side of the body and Harry Hay
ward was dead.
1t is supposed that the lengthy auto
biography which Hayward dictated to
a stenographer last night contains a
full confession of his own connection
with the murder of Catherine Cling, as
well as sensational accounts of other
crimes in which he has been involved,
but the real facts will not be known
until the statement is printed in book

Hayward also made several state

and the owners of the instrument ex-

public to hear Harry's own voice after
it's owner has been layed away in the
earth.
Before his execution, Harry, at the
request of his brother, DR.. Thaddeus
Hayward, consented that an autopsy
should be performed and his brain ex-
amined. This was done at the morgue

headed by specialist and DIR. H. A.
Tomlinson, formerly superintendent
of the insane asylum at St Peter Care

it was about the normal size and
shape. The line through the ears was
long, the forehead narrow and retreat

The brain itself seemed small. 1t was
taken to be examined more carefully.
Meanwhile the doctors would say moth

seemed 10 be congenitally defective.
This afternoon the aged and grief
stricken parents followed Harry's re-
