ginning this morning, and until the
day of his death, he would be allowed
anything to eat which he wished. The
announcement of the ~leniency of the
sheriff greatly pleased the prisoner,
and he was particularly pr0fuse in his
thanks. For his breakfast this morn
ing he ordered lobster and chocolate
so thick that the spoon will stand in
the cup" He said the bread he had
been eating was quite good enough,
and he did not wish any change in
that direction. Deputy Bright was

These are the farewell words of Har-
ry Hayward 10 his brother Adry yes
terday afternoon. He hurled them at
the latter as he descended the stairs
leading to the tier in which the pris-
oner was confined and passed through
the iron doorway to the outer office.
1t was their last meeting o earth, and
such the murderer intends 1t to be.
Adry was as calm as the prisoner was
impaSSiOned. He was unmOved by
the anethemas except toward pity.

as Adry appeared then Harry began
to curse him.
The murderer sprang to his feet,
and with a dramatic effect said:

miserable wretch. You refuse to do
what / ask you after what I have done
for you? You, you God forsaken cur.
Would you thwart my designs? You
cowardly tool. you have played a good
part. but now / car tell you what l
think OF you. My letter to you was
only n decoy for the purpose OF get

disgrace to your parents, and worse
than the buns of the street. If l could
only get at you l would dig out your
brains with a knife and tear out your
heart with this hand. would grind
them up, crush the pieces, squeeze out
the juice, make it into a pie and
thrust 1t down your throat"
The interview ended as given above.
