demned man. There was nothing in his
face to indicate that he had heard a
word of it. lie threw his head back as
the word guilty" was pronounced, but
it was only TO adjust his collar. He did
not change color by single shade. Twice
he coughed that strange, hard, metallic
cough that has been heard so often in the
last few weeks. Then looking around at the
crowd, he raised his eyebrows inquiringly
as though to ask, ''What next2'
During the polling of the jury he
listened with evident interest to the ans
wers, though what they might say could
signify nothing to him. The expression
on his face was one OF indignation rather
than any other sentiment.
Judge Smith then thanked the jury for
their labors in connection with the case.
When the court announced that sentence
would be deferred until Monday morning,
Hayward was evidently pleased. He ex-
pressed the opinion while being removed
from the court room, that the verdict was
an outrage and that he was long way
! from the hangman yet.
Albert Hall, the assistant county at
torney, received the verdict in a manner
that said as plainly as words: II knew
! it.
When he arose to move an immediate
sentence Hayward half laughed and then
! glowered at the states lawyer in an en-
ragged manner. He feels keen dislike
for Hall on account of certain early in
dictments in the case and has lost no OPP
portunity to make this plain.
! At2:45 O'Clock Hayward was taken down

police guard. In the belief that trouble
might occur in a verdict generating Hay
ward a force of determined officers had
| been detailed to duty at the court room
| and vicinity. An immense crowd awaited
the prisoners coming. He grinned at
! the mob as it pushed forward over the
| pav,m toward him, and it is doubtful
whether Harry Hayward would have re-
| GREETED an opportunity to mix matters
with some OF the noisiest. He was taken
across the street on q trot with the yell
! ing multitude at his heels.
Good bye, Harry, old boy, cried one
of the men at the top OF his voice,
"You re dead duck "
"Not yet, " said Hayward, mot quite
a dead duck YETI
| The officers massed around their prisoner
determinedly and there would have been
| serious trouble had any effort been made
to attack him. The entrance TO the Jail
was at last reached and side dodge
sent a dozen members of the crowd flying
| in different directions. Whatever the
| demonstration may have meant it result
ed in nothing. Hayward was safely
| lodged in his cell.
In the court room, after the jurors were
discharged, dozens of friends crowded
around the men and there was an old
| fashioned reunion. No restriction re-
manned Oh the jury, and they were will
ing to tell about the deliberations from
the moment of retiring. 1t was learned
that on the first vote taken an unanimous
verdict of guilty was reached. This vote
was not taken until after dinner. There
was not the shadow of dispute as to what
! the verdict should be. 1t took but a
moment to clear the court room. After
announcing that sentence would be de-
ferred until Monday morning Judge Smith
| left the bench. The jurymen were con-
Quoted to the clerks Office, where they
were paid their fees for seven weeks ser.
vice, and then returned to the hotel.
| Samuel Dyer, whose illness came near
compelling a new trial of the case, will
not be taken home until tomorrow morn
! ing. During the last few days he has
| taken turn for the better.
At the request of the attorneys for the
defense none of the prisoners relatives
were in the room when the verdict was
read Mr.. and Mrs. Hayward, the pris
| oner's parents, were Frustrated at the end
of the morning session. All through the
progress of the trial they have stood the
| strain well, but the nearness of the end
was too much for them to contemplate.
Adry Hayward has not been in court
| for the last week. He has been at various
places in the city, still in the company
of a deputy sheriff but he avoided the
vicinity of the court room.
For two hours after the verdict had
been announced a crowd remained dis
cussing the case on the sidewalks and
about the court house and jail. The
unanimous opinion seemed to be that the
verdict was Just one and that truth had
! prevailed.
1t is understood that the indisposition
of Mr.. Erwin is really serious. After the
! close of his address this morning he col
lapsed, and for two hours was almost UNI
able to see. Recovering to some extent,
ne at once left for st. Paul.
A messenger was in the court room
with instructions to hurry to the Ozark
as soon as a verdict was given. He left as
soon as the word guilty" had fallen
from the lips of the Clerk. Hayward
made motion TO intercept the
boy, but he was not quick enough.
In an incredibly short space OF
time-almost matter of seconds-after
the result was announced, wild yell
from the street told that it was already
the property OF the multitude. Among
the people congregated outside the Court
House were several hundred women, and
the feeling among them seemed to be
fully as hostile as that OF the men,
70 illustrate the consummate nerve and
nonchalance of the accused, after he had
been taken to the jail, following the re-
tirement of the jury, he turned to one OF
the officers with the remark Lets play
a game OF cards on the result, TO which
the reply was made by one OF the depu-
ties, III come in there and play, Harry,
if you Il promise not to come.
Following close on the heels of the YER
