MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. Z. - Governor
Clough this afternoon sentenced Harry
Hayward, murderer of Catherine Cling. to
be hanged on Wednesday, Decem ber IL.
Hayward heard the news of his doom
from Sheriff Holmberg's lips. The pris-
oner cvinced no signs of breaking down,
but on the other hand, repeated the awful
exscrations against his brother Adry,
which have OF late been the only indica-
tion that he appreciated the seriousness
of his position.
well, Harry" said the sheriff a. he
approached Hayward, "I've come to tell
you that the governor has signed your
death warrant and fixed it for next
Wednesday.
'Thas's damned long time to wait
for a iailroad train," was tho prisoner $
ejaculation.
II: you're IN the depot it's long time,
said the sheriff, but you're on the track
for eternity. You have a good many
things to consider before Wednesday; !;
you have little time left to stay here.''
II know that have little time" said
Harry. There are few things I'd like
to straighten out aud few folks I'd like
to get even with. If l had my brother
Adry here, and with that Harry stood
up and clenched his fists and shook them
from side to side. "If had my brother
AdrY here, 1 would takS his entrails
out and stretch them like a cIothesline
back and forth through this cell.
"l'm not quite 50 mad at Blixt as folks
think, but if my fathers mother and
brother CDR. Hayward) we're dead, 1
would be the harpiest man in the world. !"
well. Harry the sheriff broke in,
II see you have some sympathy loft in
you yet"
NO" said HAYWARD, "I have not any
sympathy, but feel where there ought
to be some.''
Here Hayward began to dictate q state
msnt to Jailer WsAt in regard to the jail
breaking episodesa and other incidents of
III. .Thsddeus Has ward was found in
his fathers oflco'sshis afternoon where
the news of the governors action was
broken to him. The doctor said:
rs it so9 Have you the newss"
we'll. then, it is the .perpstuation oil 1
IL, said the doctor very quickly. "Ths
could be legally guilty of the crime. I
expected to see the 6 governor 60 down to
foundations Oi the case. l expected that
would come out in the sanity
matter. 80
''Tho whole thing was 90 devilish and
the popular clamor for blood was SO
fierce that cannot say that l am sur
prised.'
Harry HaywRrd's staten emit, taken this
afternoon bv Jailer West, is some what in
coherent and decidedly bloodthirsty. 1t
starts out:
"a short time is just as eooo as a lon.
ger time, ana l am as ready now as ever
to Saltwater for life. II the, governor
would come over heie and talk with me,
would tell him something. I've had a
ID good time here, and l will have a
good time yet l have no kick coming.
They ought to go back to the old
Zines. People are too soft hearted now.
If had Adry here now | would pull
his eyes out and his heart out and nave
blixt look on; then I'd cut them and
throw them to the dogs. I'm not made
Jf milk and water" ts
Turning to the sheriff at this point,
Hay ward asked: IL have q right to ~
vite three person; IN to see the hanging,
On being told that he had, he said ::
I'D have the Dalton brothers, Bill
Cook and Cole Younger,an I'd give 'em
TWO good rsvoIvers apiece.
The statement then takes up the mat
er of the prisoners projected escape.
rhs main portion Of this recital is de.
voted to roasting Ed Stevens, a local at
orney. who, HAYWARD claims. acted the
part of frienu in need and then played
lim false. Hay ward claims to have paid
stevens $465 and that Stevens failed to
perform waat he had promised to do for
hat sum.
