MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. S.-"May the
curse Of God fall on you and yours
and allow me, from the minute drop
from the scaffold to haunt you day and
night until your death. Then l will
welcome you on the brink of hell with
a red-hot IRON
These are the farewell words of Har-
ry Hayward to his brother Adry this
afternoon. He hurled them at the lat
ter as he descended the stair leading
to the tier in which the prisoner was
confined and passed through the iron
doorway leading 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 impassioned He was unmoved by
the anathemas except toward pity. His
was the brotherly affection, and it was
his fervent God bless you. Harry.
Goodbye, Harry" which elected the
remark quoted above.
The Meeting Arranged.
The meeting between the brothers
was arranged by the parents, who be-
seeched the condemned man to see
AIRY once more before he died. He
remained obstinate to their entreaties
for a long time, but finally he con-
sented and sent by messengers a note
reading:
Dear Adry-I want you to come at
once to the JAIL as l wish particularly
to see you. l have no other object
than the desire to ask your forgiveness
for any wrong, either real or imagin-
airy, which l may have done you. I
want once more to see you on this
earth. This is the wish and dying re-
quest of your brother HARRY"
When Adry reached the jail he wait
ed until the conclusion of the visit of
DR.. Hayward, who was then with the
doomed man. Deputy Allison, how
ever, passed through the office to the
Jail corridor and told Harry that Adry
was in the outer office.
Let him come up at once" said
Harry.
DIR. Hayward, however, did not relish
the idea of the meeting between the
two brothers in his presence, and asked
the deputy to wait until he was ready
TO go before he showed Adry up the
Jail stairs. He remained a few minutes
longer, then babe his brother farewell
Tor the time being. On his was out he
met Adry in the doorway, and the two
stopped for a brief time and shook
hands. The doctor passed out of
doors, while Adry assembled the stairs
calmly awaiting him. They addressed
each other in a friendly manner after
which Harry requested the deputies to
withdraw d distance to allow him to
speak to his brother confidentially. The
officials did as requested. What passed
between the two brothers was not
heard by any person until Harry raised
his voice TO say: Now 1 have done
my part L have forgiven you all you
have done Now Do
Simply Awful.
But, Harry. how can [? - returned
Adry appealingly.
The answer was too much for the
prisoner. He sprang to his feet and
poured forth TRADE of abuse never
before heard in the old jail
You low down, mean. contempti-
Die miserable, damna15le wretch. Yo1
refuse 70 do that, after what [ nave
done? You Godforsaken tool. You
have played good part, but now 1
can tell you what 1 think OF you NY
letter to you was after all only a de-
coy for that purpose. You damned vii
lain. If L could only get at you I'd
dig out your brains with a knife l
would tear out your heart with my
hands. | would crush the two to-
gether, cut them into pieces. squeeze
out the juice, make it into a pie and
thrust it down your throat
He clenched his hands in his rage
and stamped his foot fiercely. His face
was ashen and livid by turns
Adry sat quiet for a few minutes
but seaing the uselessness of waiting
longer, arose and started u 60
God bless you, good bye Harry"
he called sadly as he was about to go
down the stairs.
oh, you viIlain!'' was the return
greeting. May the curse of God fan
on you and yours and allow me to
haunt you until your dying day. All,
l will meet you on the brink of hell
with a redhot poker''
