HAYWARD CURSED HIS BROTHER.
Murderer Not Inclined in the Least to Quiet
DOW

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 9.-"May the
curse Of God fall on you and yours, and
allow me, from the minute drop from
the scaffold, to haunt you day and night
until your death. Then 1 will welcome
you on the brink Of hell with red hot
iron"
These were the farewell words Of
Harry HAYWARD 10 his brother Adry
yesterday afternoon. He hurled them
at the latter as he descended the stairs
leading to the tier in which the prison
er was confined, and passed through
the iron doorway TO the outer office. 1t
was their last meeting on earth, and
such as the murderer intended it 10 be.
Adry was as calm as the prisoner was
impassioned. He was unmOved by the
anathemas except toward pity.
The meeting between the brothers
was arranged by the parents, who be-
seeched the condemned man to see Adry
once more before ne died. He remained
obstinate to their entreaties for long
time. but finally yielded, and sent by
messengers a note reading: Dear
Adry-I want you TO come at once to
the jail as 1 wish particularly to see
you. L have no other object than the
desire to ask your forgiveness for any
wrong, either real or imaginary which
/ may have done you. l want once
more to see you on this earth. This is
the wish and dying request of your
brother, Harry
When Adry reached the jail he wait
ed the conclusion of the visit Of DR..
Hayward, who was then with the con-
demned man. Deputy Allison, howev-
er, passed through the office TO the jail
corridor, and told Harry that Adry was
in the outer office.
Let him come up at once" said
Harry.
DR.. Hayward, however, did not relish
the idea of the meeting between the
brothers in his presence, and asked the
deputy to wait until he was ready to go
before he showed Adry UP the jail
stairs. He remained a few minutes
longer, then bade his brother farewell
for the time being. On his way out he
met Adry in the doorway Of the office.
and the two stopped for a brief time
and shook hands. The physician pass
ed out Of door while Adry assembled the
stairs to the corridor where Harry
stood, calmly awaiting him. They ad-
dressed each other in a friendly man
ner, after which Harry requested the
deputies to withdraw a distance to al
low him to speak to his brother conf
dentially. The officials did as request
ed. and from a distance keenly eyed the
two men. The latter at once engaged
in an interested conversation. What
passed was not heard by any person I'M
til Harry raised his voice to say:
Now L nave done my part. 1 have
forgiven you for all you have done.
Now you do as l ask.
But, Harry. how can I?' returned
Adry, appealingly.
The answer was too much for the
prisoner. He sprang to his feet and
poured forth TRADE Of abuse never be-
fore heard in the old jail.
You low down, mean, contempti-
bic, miserable. damnable wretch. You
refuse TO do that, after what 1 have
done. You God fOrsaken tool. You
have played a good part, but now 1 can
tell you what / think of you. My letter
to you was after all only a decoy for
that purpose. You id william. If I
could only get at you, I'd dig out your
brains with a knife. l would tear out
your heart with my hands. 1 would
crush the two together, cut them into |
pieces, squeeze out the juice. make it |
into a pie and thrust it down your |
throat"
He clenched his hands in his rage, |
and stamped mis- foot fiercely. His face |
was ashen and Hvd by turns. Adry |
sat quietly for few minutes, but seeing |
the uselessness of waiting longer arose |
and started 10 go.
God bless you. Good by. Harry" |
he called sadly. as he was about to go |
down the stairs.
80, you william" was the return greet .
ing. May the curse of God fail on you |
and yours. and allow me TO haunt you /,
until your dying day. Aha! 1 will meet |
you on the brink of hell with red hot |
