HAYWARD,s OFFER.
Doctors Can Butcher His Corpse
for All He Cares.

sr for All He Cares.
The gruesome vein in Harry Hay
wards nature has manifested itself in
many ways but the latest and not the
least remarkable instance of his pc
culiar cast of mind came out the other
day in conversation with a prominent
physician who has lately made sew
eral calls on him. He said that as far
as he was concerned, he would be per-
fectly willing to allow a. committee of
physicians to take his body after it
was cut down from the scaffold, and
make any investigation they desired
in the interests of science.
"It will never do me any more good"
he said, land If you can learn some
thing by cutting it to pieces you are
perfectly welcome to-
Interesting as such a research would
be, especially to those who believe him
to be sdisordered mentally, it is not
likely that the consent of the family
would ever be obtained to such a dis
position of the great criminals re-
mains.
1t was a lonely Thanksgiving dinner
that Hayward partook of yesterday.
True, Capt. Sandberg was sociably
gnawing a gobbler'S drumstick just
outside his cell, but Harry and his
death watch have never been on the
most amicable terms, and the steady,
unrelenting stare with which Sandberg
regarded him was anything but an ap-
petiZer. Down stairs, in the big hall
of the old cell block, where the gall
lows will in a few days be set in place,
the other seventeen prisoners were
feaSting about long deal table. At
noon they were all marched in, and
sat down to substantial dinner, con-
sisting Of roast turkey with cranberry
sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy,
sweet potatoes, sweet corn, celery.
pickles, pumpkin and apple pie, coffee
and cigars. After dinner they were al
lowed two hours together for a cocial
chat, after which they were marched
back to the. cells, to resume the dreary
monotone of Jail life. The day was a
quiet one for Hayward. John Day
Smith called in the morning but re-
mained only a few minutes.
HER PLEA PREVAILED.
A mothers plea was poured into the
ears Of County Attorney Nye yester-
day morning for an hour in his private
hall. Mrs. Hayward, sad-eyed but firm
as has been her wont, entered his of
flee, heavily yelled, and proceeded at
once with her business. The lady had
called to complain Of the facilities ac-
corded her for seeing her son. Sheriff
Holmberg would not allow her to get
| close enough to her own flesh and blood
so that she could see his face plainly,
she said. She must sit on the iron bal
cony with two steel grated partitions
hot hnr- nd hat- h0H nd 0f
them covered with a wire screen. 1t
was wrong; it was cruel. What she
said in that hours interview is not full
ly known, as Mr.. Nye refused to say
anything about, it except in a general
way. He would not even assert as to
whether or not he had been touched by
the appeal but he did send for the sher-
iff and Phil Megaarden, and together
there was very short consultation.
The result Of this was that there was a.
more tender meeting Thanksgiving day
between mother and son than there has
been for some time. She was allowed
in the same corridor, and the greeting
between those two beings of the same
flesh and blood, so soon to be severed
by the hand of the hangman, was moro
affectionate than has been possible for
some time. True, the watchful eye of
Capt. Sandberg was upon them, yet the
authorities feel that they were rum
ming a great risk in allowing the meet
would be cruel to keep mother and son
apart when the time is so short.
NO MORE SLAVES.
George Clemens, the barber who has
shaved Hayward twice a week, and
sometimes oftener, since his aseest, has
not been in the cage since last Friday,
and Harry's face looks rather the
worse for wear. Clemens fears that he
will not be allowed to shave him again,
which he thinks is a pity for it was
nice little perquisite to him, which
helped him along. Hayward was quite
chummy with Clemens, and in the old
times before the watch was kept so
close the two were allowed to be to-
gether quite a length OF time. Many a
time the two have had boxing bouts for
exercise, and Hayward enjoyed them
hugely. Hayward was quite hand to
wrestle, a sport he enjoyed because it
had no elements of danger, and no
chance for bodily pain by blows. He ia
very powerful, and the two had many
set-to together. Clemens has an idea
that Hayward is not physically brave
and that he will weaken when he comes
to the fatal time.
