Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 7.-Governor
Clough this afternoon sentenced Harry
Hayward, the murderer of Catherine
Cling, to be hanged Wednesday, De-
cember 11th
Harry Hayward heard the news of
his doom from Sheriff Holmberg's lips.
The prisoner evinced no signs of break
ing down, but on the other hand re-
peated the awful excavations against
his brother Adry which of late have
been the only indication that he APP
preclated the seriousness of his posi-
ton.
well, Harry" said the Sheriff, as he
approached Hayward, i've come to tell
you that the Governor has signed your
death warrant, and fixed 1t for next
Wednesday,"
That's a damned long time to wait
for railroad train" was the prisoners
ejaculation.
IF you're in the depot It's a 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"
Know that l have little time" said
Harry. There are a few things I'd
IKE TO straighten out and few folks
IA IKE to, get even with. If | had my
prother Adry here" and with that
Harry stood up and clenched his fists
ana shook them from side to side; "if
l mad my brother Adry here l would
take his entrails out and stretch them
IKE clothes-line back and forth
through this cell.
I'm not quite so mad at Blixt as
folks think, but if my father, mother
and brother (Dr. Hayward were dead
world"
well, Harry" the Sheriff broke in
Il see you have some sympathy left in
you yet"
NO" said Harry, Il have not any
sympathy, but l feel where there ought
to be some"
Here Hayward began to dictate a.
statement to Jailer West in regard to
the undertaking episodes and other
Incidents of his Jail life.
BLOODTHIRSTY YET.
Harry Hayward's statement, taken
THIS afternoon by Jailer West, Is some
what incoherent and bloodthirsty. 1t
starts out:
"A short time is just as good as
longer time, and l am as ready now as
| ever shall be. l had rather be hung
t,ii So " saltwater IOr Ire. IL the
Governor would come over here and
talk with me l would tell him some
thing. I've had id good time here,
ana VIII have q good time yet |
have no kick coming.
They ought to go back to the old
times. People are too soft-hearted now.
If l had Adry here now I'd pull his
eyes out and his heart out, and I'd
have Blixt look on; then I'd cut them
up and throw them to the dogs. I'm
not made of milk and water"
Turning to the Sheriff at this point,
Hayward asked: II have a right to in
vite three persons in to see the hang
ing, haven't II"
On being told that he had, he said:
I'D have the Dalton brothers, Bill
Cook and Cole Younger and I'd give
EN- two good revolvers apiece"
The statement then takes up the mat
ter of the prisoners projected escape.
The main portion of this recital is de-
voted to roasting Ed Stevens, a local
attorney, who Hayward claims acted
the part of n friend in need and then
played him false Hayward claims to
have paid Stevens $465 and that Ste
vens failed to perform what he had
promised to do for him.
THE INSANITY PLEA.
DR.. Thaddeus hayward was found
in his fathers office this afternoon,
where the news of the Governors ac-
ton was broken to him. The doctor
said: rs 1t so? Have you the news?"
Yes, it is So
well. then, it is the preparation of
a lie" said the doctor very quickly.
THE whole idea that man as insane
AS Harry Is could be legally guilty of
the crime! / expected to. see the Gov
ernor go down in the foundations of
the case. | expected that something
would come out in the insanity matter.
"The whole thing was so devilish and
internal and the popular clamor for
blood WAS so fierce that [ cannot sau
