In CL0UGH'S HANDS
HAYWARDS FATE RESTS WITH
MINNESOTA'S GOVERNOR,
The Ten Days Allowed for RearEu-
ment for Appeal Has Passed, and
h Governor Must Now Name the
Day for Hayward's Execution,
Commute His Sentence or Grant
u Pardon-Hayward's Only Hope.

Minneapolis, Dec. 3. - Harry Hay
wary's attorneys did not make an ap-
plication to the supreme court for a
reargument of their appeal from the
order Of Judge Seagrave Smith, refus-
Ing to grant a new trial. The ten days.
allowed by the rules of the court for
that purpose after a decision has been
filed, has expired. In order that no
confusion might exist as to the limit
Of time. Chief Justice Start issued an
oral order allowing Hayward's at
torneys until 8 o'clock Saturday after
noon to make their application. At
that hour Clerk Reese closed the of
fee and said hal no application had
been made. The chief executive Of
the state is now the only means of
for Hayward. The case is
in his hands, either TO name the day
for Hayward's execution, commute
his sentence or grant a pardon.
Several Minneapolis doctors are
very anxious in regard to the coming
execution of Harry T. Hayward. This
very extraordinary young man has
created quite an argument in the med
ical world, and many of the ply
sicians are very anxious to be allowed
to get at his head, and apply the saw
to the skull, and the eye and the knife
to the brain. With the above end in
view, several physicians have been
making dilligent inquiries in official
sources, to ascertain if there is a pro-
vision in the law where the body OF
a hanged criminal is to be given over
to physicians for autopsy, the same
as in accidents, before it is delivered
to relatives.
There is no provision whatever for
holding an autopsy. The physicians
have only to pronounce life extinct,
and from that moment the body is
the property Of the relatives. There
is no provision for using the knife.
and even if the man when alive had
stated that he was willing, it would
depend wholly upon the relatives, and
Mrs. Hayward will not allow such a
proceeding. She will have the body
removed as soon as possible. and no
physician will be allowed to make
scientific research there.
There are a number of people in the
city who are almost certain that Har-
ry Hayward will hang. If any one
doubts that, they should take a look
into a secret section of Phil Megaar-
den's desk. where he has filed away
applications from people who want to
see the hanging take place. The law
specifies that 4 certain number Of peO-
pie only shall be present, and the law
is very particular to designate who
they shall be, and how many Of them
shall be present. II this was not in
the way to interfere, Sheriff Holm,
berg would probably not diSappoint
any Of those who make the requests.
