burned brilliantly From early even
| ing Hayward talked steadily to the ex-
pert stenographer, completing his con-
tession ana last statement.
| To the surprise of all, Adry Hayward
appeared at the jail at 1880 o'clock,
and was ushered into the cellroom.
Two days since Harry, before his jailers
and common prisoners, cursed mis-
| brother hurting the most Stinging in
vectiveS at him. Now he received him
with a kind word OF greeting, and mo-
toned him to stand by as he talked. 1t
was easy to perceive that Harry's ami
mostly was Short-liYed.
| AT 11:54 p. m. Hayward made a
statement to the members of the press.
He admits that his last statement re-
garding the Cling murder is correct, and
! contains every detail of the affair
| within his knowledge.
| AT 12:30 o'clock Hayward ate his last
meal consisting of all the delicacies of
! the season He ate heartily, in com
pany with several deputies and the
! County Physician and the six death
watch. Hayward made his peace with
the world, and said he forgave Adry
and all others with the exception of
three men, detective Mike Quinlan, At
torney Stevens and Mike Kierce.
AT 1:20 o'clock Father Twohy anG
the Rev. Wilkinson left Hayward's cell

HAYWARD CONFESSES.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec f0.-Harry
| Hayward has confessed his crime
Every shadow of doubt as to his guilt
in connection with the murder of Cath
crime Cling has been swept away by the
voluntary word of the assassin
| During the night Hayward turned to
County Physician Burton, who con-
stantly attends him, and admitted that
the galloWs was about to receive one
of the guiltiest wretches of the nine
/ teenth century. The story of the crime
he recited from beginning to end con-
Tossing that he alone was the instigator
OF the murderous plot, and that Claus
BliXt was but his tool
! The story he told was much as Blixt
| told it on the stand. Il fell down at the
| last moment, though he said, after his
fun confession had been made. Il in
| tended to kill Blixt but did not. If I
had | should have been safe"
! Hayward is making gigantic efforts
| to conceal his shattered nerves to-day.
! He arose this morning, although he had
/ not slept a wink, and, stretching him
| self, said to the death watch: D it,
/ would like to be hung every day I
! feel like a fighting cock"
Father Timothy visited the con-
! illctil III HIS cell, Dul HARRY re-
fused to embrace the comfort offered
| by the church. He will die, as he has
lived, with no profession of religion.
The confession of Harry Hayward
explodes a theory that has for some
time held general belief. 1t was claimed
/ by Claus Blixt and his attorney, as well
as the Sheriff that the whisky given
! Blixt just previous TO his ride with
| Kitty Cling, was doped with nitro gly-
cerine, a drug SO powerful that it would
rob the janitor of all pity or emotion
OF making of him raging beast equal
/ to the crime that Hayward had com
missioned him to perform. Hayward,
although taking all the blame in his
confession, positively states without
reason for the denial of any accusa-
] ton, that 10 drug was used on Blixt
that the janitor went on that death ride
with clear brain and shot down the girl
with full realization of the deed.
