These are the farewell words Of Harry
Hayward to his brother, Adry, this afternoon
He hurled them at the latter as he descs ndsd
the stairs leading to The tier in which the
prisoner was confined, and passed through
the iron doorway TO the outer Office 1t was
their last meeting on earth and such the
murderer intended it to be-. Adry was as
calm as the prisoner was furious. He was
unmoved by the anathemas, except toward
pity. His was the brotherly affection and
1t was his fervent God bless you Harry.
Goodbye, Harry which ELECTED the remark
quoted above.
The meeting between the brothers was ar
ranged by the parents who besseched the
condemned man to s:e Adry once more be-
fore he died. He remained obstinate to their
entreaties for leNg time, but finally yielded
and sent by messengers note reading:
Dear Adry: l want you to come at once
TO the Jail, as | wish particularly to speak
to you. / have no other object that the de-
sire 10 ask your forgiveness for any wrong,
real or imaginary, which l have done you.
! want oncs more to see you. This is the
dying request Of your brother.
HARRY"
When Adty reached the Jail he waited
the conclusion Of the visit of DR.. Hayward
who was then with the condemned man.
Deputy Allison, however, passed through the
Office to the jail corridor and told Harry
that Adry was in the outer office.
Let him come 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
AGry up the Jail stairs. He remained a few
minutes longer then bade his brother fare
well 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 passed out of
doors, while Adry assembled the stairs to the
corridor where Harry stood calmly await
ing him. They addressed each other in a
friendly manner, after which Harry re-
quested the deputies to withdraw distance
to allow him to speak to his brother con-
The officials did as requested AMI
from distance keenly eyed the two men.
The latter at once engaged in an interested
conversation. What passed was not heard
by any person until Harry raised his voice
to say: Now | have done my part; / have
forgiven you for all you have done. Now
you do as ! ask
But, Harry, how can II" sreturned Adry,
appealingly.
The answer was too much for the prisoner.
He sprang to his feet and ptarsd forth
TRADE of abuse never before heard in the
old Jail. .-ar a
you low, mean, contemplate, miserable,
1amnaba wretch. You refuse to do that,
after what l have DONE You God-forsaken
tool. You have played good part, but now
can tell you what I think of you. My
letter after all was only decoy for that
purpose. You damned villain. If l could
only get at you, I'd dig out your brains
with a knife. I-would tear out your heart
with my hands. ] would crush the two to-

He clenched his hands in his rage and
stamped his foot iercely. His face was
white and livid by turns.
Adry sat quiet for fsts minutes, but
seeing the uselessness of waiting longer |
rose and started to go. God bless you |;
good bye, Harry" he called as he was about |
o 60 down the stairs.
"Oh, you villain" was the return greet |
