that place by q score Of S to 4. Tho
All Americas were somewhat crippled,
but excepting the first inning in which
they made five errors. they played II
very good game. John Hume pitched
a magnificent game, allowing the
Franklin boys only five scattering hit..

people say that Hume and Judkins is

and that Ed. Watts has no equal.
He received a great deal of applause
for the game he put up ut first base.

Franklin team, WAS touched up for ten
hits. one being a home run over left

Dismal was converted recently. Dis

of the big offices on Newspaper row. He
had never been credited with being q

portunity offered, and withal carried
about always such II lugubrious countc-

from the manager who was i'll charge of
the office.
Finally, after several warnings, he
cached the end of his tether and WAS
incontiicntly fired and departed weep

1T was only a hoax and thai it was a

were not idle imaginings, but were

they would have TO pay elsewhere, they
were then convinced that all we advcr.

PAID THE PENALTY.

Early this morning in Minneapolis.
the last act in the great tragedy, of
the murder of Catherine Cling, was
performed, and Harry T. Hayward
paid the penalty for his connection
Herewith with his life, and as far as
it is possible for man, that murder is
avenged.
Hanging is a relic of barbarity.
There is something in it terrible to
contemplate, that men will decree the
death and hurl into eternity one of
their fellows, and it is sad COM
mentary upon our civilization that
some just punishment for the awful
crime for which hanging is imposed,
has not been devised and substituted
therefor.
There is no question but that the
indiscriminate use of the pardoning
power by governors has done much to
perpetuate this ancient relic, for it
cannot be denied that life imprison-
ment is more terrible punishment
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-12-13

than is hanging, and if cOupledthere-
with, was the fact that no pardon
would ever be granted, there are
probably few condemned men but
would prefer the gallows.
But if there was case where hang
ing was justifiable,i it was in the case of
Harry Hayward. 1t was a case of
self-defense upon the part of society
and the world is better and safer to-
day because with the early morning
hours he passed out of it. There are
probably from half dozen to a
dozen persons whose lives are safer to-
day because he is not alive and free
among men. A more desperate vii
lain, more devoid of that kindly feel
ing of sympathy which man has for
his fellows, with brain that reeked
only in deyilishness, never lived. His
whole life was spent in evil scheming,
and if there were any good traits at
any time in his character, he had
most effectually smothered them.
Reference to him now is only yalu-
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-12-13

able as to the lesson his life and it's
terrible ending may convey upon the
young who are approaching manhood.
Never has there been better illustra-
tion of the fact in everyday life, that
a life of idleness, of evil ways, of pure
devilishness does not pay than has
been presented in that of young Hay
ward. The story of his life and it's
awful ending ought to burn into the
heart of every young man and impress
itself so strongly upon him that it can
never be effaced, that straight, hon.
orable, honest life is by far the best
and it's dividends by long way the
greatest. The way of the transgress-
or is hard, and though his fate may
not be that of Hayward's, yet the
punishment is none the less severe in
accordance with the tranSgressions
from the right. What young man is
there who has been pursuing the path
OF evil, that would invite the punish
ment melted out to Hayward, yet once
started in the evil path, there is no
telling where the hold-up will be.
True happiness can come only
through an honorable life. 1t cannot
be secured through fast life such as
Harry Hayward lived, even though it
does not bring one near the brink of
such fate. A good character and
reputation is worth more than all else
in the world, and the young man who
builds the foundation for such well
will always occupy an honorable place
among his fellows, however lowly may
be his place in life, and his peace of
mind will far outweigh the gains and
reputation of wickedness.

Showed No Touch Of Fear and
Seemed to Be in Jocu-
lar Humor.
Briefly Addressed Those Pres
ent, but Did Not Confess
His Crime.
Becomes ReconciIed With His
Brother Shortly Before
His Death.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. Hilary Hay
ward was hanged at $40. He made a
statement of five minutes duration,
and while not making a confession
said he hoped God would forgive him
for all the harm he had ever done.
The murderer went to the gallows
with laugh on his lips, and went
down with the trap, just as he uttered
the words, lightly, ''Let her go, Me-
garden" The command was directed
to the chief deputy.
Prior to the execution the condemned
man maintained the nerve which has
made him famous. He took his last
supper shortly after l o'clock and was
surrounded by the deputies and the
death watches. Just before the death
warrant was read Hayward turned to

be pardoned. There was a strong hand
clasp and Harry told his brother that
his last wish was that he should become
reconciled with his parents. Adry
promised. Harry then ate his last sup
per with relish and afterward listened
to Father Timothy and Rev. Wilkin-
son, but would make no promises as to
his belief.
He then saw John Day Smith and
made solemn promise that he would
declare his trust in Christ on the scat
fold. After that until the end he chat
ted quietly and easily. He was the
least affected of any one present when
the deputies came to prepare him and
Joked about putting on the black robe
that was brought him. He
Didn't Like to Hide His Clothes,
and remarked that he might as well
have none on. With the black cap on
top of his head and his face smiling,
he stepped out Of the cell and followed

liberated about it and asked the opinion
Of Deputy Megaarden. Megaarden
didn't know, and said so.
81 see" said Harry, "you have never
had the opportunity of ordering your
last supper" and he laughed. He
walked about great deal and did not
make the usual efforts at conversation
that have kept the death watch busy
trying to go along with the fantastic
movements of his busy brain.
Wanted More Company.
About 80 Harry complained because
he didn't have more company and
asked that some of the press boys be
sent up to see him. Doctors Holmes
and Burton went with them and they
found Harry in the best of spirits. He
laughed easily enough about the event
that was to come off early in the morn
ing, for he had been informed by Sher-
iff Holmberg that it would come off
very soon after midnight, and probably
about O. clock. Soon after s O'Clock
Harry continued the dictation of his
memoirs to stenographer, and this
occupied his time for several hours. He
then ate his last meal, had a short talk
with Rev. William Wilkinson and
coolly prepared for his execution.
