With an effort Hayward turned his
eyes upward and said in a stridens

the conversational one he had been us
ing: ''Oh. God. for Christ's sake. for

''Oh." resumed Harry, dropping back

When told Goodse1i was absent. he
continued: ''we1l. DR.. Burton. I think

doctor stopped him with the suggestion
he had better not say anything. Hay

was quickly adjusted. As the moose
settled down over HIS head he said:
Lets see. how does the knot go
under the right ear. no. It's left. isn't

The prisoners face purpled slightly as
the moose frightened and the visor Of
the black cap was turned down. 1t
was Hayward's last glimpse of earth.
Pull her tight; I'll stand pat" he
said.
Megarden stepped back. raised his
hand. the fatal signal. and like a shot
the body dropped through the open
trap. There was not a tremor or strug-
gle. The spectators waited breathlessly
while the doctor listened to the fiutter-

DIR. Burton stepped back and the spec
tators filed out. The deputy loosened
the straps that bound the hands.
They fell inert at the side Of the body
Harry Hayward was dead.
Before the execution. Harry, at the
request OF his brother. DIR. Thaddeus
Hayward. consented to an autopsy be-
ing performed and his brain examined
This was done at the morgue this
morning by a committee of physicians
headed by DIR. w. A. Jones, brain spe-
ciaaist. and DIR. II. A. Tomlinson, form
er1y superintendent OF the insane asy-
hum at ST. Peter. Careful measure
ments OF the head showed n wss about
normal In size and shape The lines
through the ears were long. the fore
head narrow and retreatang. and the
temporal bones very thick The brain
itself seemed small II was taken to
be treated and examined moro care
fully.
Beyond much question. Harry Hay
ward was q degenerate. according TO
one Of the specialists who conducted
the autopsy. OF four stigmata named
by Caesar Lombrosa a. invariably
character1zing degeneratss, three had
been foundi marked symmetry Of skull,
brain and face; protuberant front teeth
and narrow and sharply arohed palate.
The fourth one Hes in facial and nasal
angles. and win proba bly, be found to
exist when proper calculations have
been made from skull measurements.
The brain had been found TO weigh 55
ounces. about normal, and the defects
in II. n any. are TOO subtle for either
knife or microscope to detect.
The aged parents spent the last night
OF their sons existence In their own
apartments. attended by their eldest
son and kind-hearted ladies'. who ala
their utmost to console and help them.
They had expected to make Harry the
last visit yesterday afternoon. but
