THE WONDER OF It,"

Doctor" said ono OF Washington's best known
walker, Il find 1t very difficult to get to you
when call, but the wonder to me has been for
the past hye weeks since have been calling here
why, with your low fees and the good work you
are DONG In this community you are able TO handle
your large practice at all. /, of course realize
you are hard and constant worker, but In n city
like this where there is much distress and suf-
fering. l should think that so many would take
advantage OF your skill and liberal terms that 1t
would be impossible for you to them all. have
given the subject deep thought, and have even
spoken to two members of my congregation, who
arrive at il that for years the profession has
sidered the chronic diseases treat incur,ble
10 say that chronic diseases Will not yield to
specially treatment when properly applied, Is
either an tneNcusahe error intentional false
hood In either instance 1t Is an inexcusable i'm
per:inence In the face of hundreds of intelligent
and reputable people of Washington, who testify
to their radical and lasting of those Diseases
BY this is meant the complete elimination

from chronic disease no matter of how long stand

HIS LAST DAY.
Nothing Worried or Surprised Him
Talked IncessAntly.

Nothing Worried or Surprised Him
Talked IncessAntly.
Harry Hayward's last hours were char
acterlstic of the man. Neither by his man.
ner nor by his speech did he manifest any
indication Of the terrible mental suffering
that he must have undergone. Apparently
ne was the same suave, self-possessed man
that he was during the first hours of his
confinement. Nothing appeared to worry
him. nothing surprises him; If there was
anything In his maner that indicated ner-
vonsness and mental fear it was his desire
to talk. He talked necessarily, to anybody
anu everybody that came within reach of
his voice. Strangely enough he did not
shun the topic that was uppermost in the
minds of his callers. The unaccountable
vagaries Of the murderer's mind took form
IN his conversation. They rendered it uu-
canny. There was something CHASTITY about
his humor. Coming from the lips Of a man
who in few short hours would be dangling
at the end Of the hangman's rope, the jokes
seemed gri m and sinister. Hayward's spir-
it's appeared buoyant enough, but his sur
roundings rendered his artful discrimination
of no avail. The common impression was
that Harry was acting. - -.- =.
1t was o'clock Tuesday morning before
Hayward paused in his task of debating
his final statement to Dick Mabie, the court
reporter. Harry Goodsell, the cousin whose
connection with the case was prominent
from the first. and Joe Mannix, a news
paper man. were also in the cell room.
When they withdrew the doomed man laid
aside part Of his clothes and stretched
himself out ON the narrow cot in his cell.
1t was his final sleep-if he really slept.
In either event his rest was not profound.
The death watch heard him tossing about

the prisoners broke forth into cheers for
him. AS Hayward entered the death cham
Der and turned to his left to ascend the
galows steps he smiled pleasantly and said:
"Good evening, gentlemen
Nobody responded. There was mark In
the middle of the trap and Hayward care
fully adjusted his feet to the lines. He had
hardly done so when Sheriff Holmberg,
who stood on the right Of the condemned
man. said:
''Have you anything to say?'
His Farewell Speech.
Hayward began: "Well, yes and
paused. Presently he resumed:
swell. there has been some curiosity
about my case. 1 know that some of you
think l am devil. When you have read
my true statement, made to-day, your be-
lief to that effect will be confirmed
Then he spoke to various members Of the
audience. When he came to Mannx, that
gentleman interrupted him with a reproof.
Passing on, as though there had been no
break, he said that he freely forgave his
brother Adry He also repeated brief
Christ's sake" which he said was at the
request Of his attorney, John Day Smith,
and not Of his own choice.
He moistened his lips as he said: $50
ahead. Megaarden," and again as he ut
tered his last words earth the deputy
pulled the moose tight about his throat.
''pull it tight he said, "I'll stand pat"
and almost instantly Megaarden dropped
the flap of the black cap over his face; the
deputies stepped back.
The Trap Fell,
and there was a sickening sound as the
man who an instant before was smiling,
hung dangling at the end of a rope. AS the
body Strengthened out the cord the knot
slipped around to the back of the neck and
the head forward. There was a buzz,
which ceased as Megaarden put up his hand.
and DR.. Burton and other physicians
stepped around to the body.
For ten minutes it hung there, with DR..
Burton's ear pressed close to the heart, and
then the doctor stepped back, made sign,
the straps were loosened and sigh arose
from the crowd that was echoed by shout
outside Harry Hayward was dead, and
the mob expressed it's approval.
The body was cut down at 2:35 The neck
and face were badly discolored and the
vertebrae was not dislocated and death was
due to strangulatiOn.

a few moments. When he regained the
sheriff Office his face wore a brighter ex-
preston. II have found him somewhat al
tered was all that the reverend gentle
man would say. Before leaving the build.
Ing, however, he told Jailer West TINT Har.
ry had consented to his acting as spiritual
comforter. 1t was the first intimatiOn that
the condemned had abandoned his intention
{ Of dying the heather he had long pretended
to be. So one more name was added to the
list OF those who were to form the process
sien to the scaffOld. Father Cleary had
been called out of the city, otherwise he,
in all probability, would have performed
that Office.
This executive session continued until 6
o'clock in the evening, and then adjourned
to meet again later at night. The portion
of the statement relating to the Cling muir
der had not yet been reached. The story
was told in chronological order, and there
fore this most interesting portion was re-
served for the last. None of the witnesses
would talk much concerning the dictation
Of the afternoon: except to say that they
thought that Harry had adhered absolute
ly to the truth so far.
Harry's mail has been quite heavy for
the last few days, an average OF about
five or six letters day coming to him
at the Jail. Some Of them were addressed
in care Of the sheriff. Among the six let
tiers which arrived yesterday was a pack
age done up in green paper. It's dimen-
sions were about 5x4x2 inches. Most Of the
mail Is addressed In feminine handwriting.
None of this mail is either shown to
Harry or opened. Its contents will not be
known until after his death g.
Harry's father and mother looked their
last upon the living body Of their son on
Monday afternoon. They intended to visit
him yesterday, his last day of life, but at
his own earnest request they did not do so.
Harry made tia particular point to tell

Capt. Sandberg, who has been one Of

oner behaved better yesterday than Oh any
day since Sandberg had been with him.
