Detective Merrill succeeded in getting n
little Information from MacNamara, Hopkins
and PIoffett whiie in their cells at the
Central station yesterday afternoon. in rela-
tion 10 their movements after assaultng
George z. Earle.
Hopkins says that he was not aware Of tne
fact that there was any job put up TO rob Mr..
Earle. and that AZ soon as 10 was done, he
followed cNamara, with the intention OF
getting the money back and returning IL to
Mr.. Earl. The two went down South Main
street. on TO Point street bridge, where Mac.
Namara gave Hopkins 500. Hopkins says
he Supposed that tn was all taken, ana he
retraced his steps TO the scene of the assault
and was arrested. Hopkins' story receive
some credit, but MIR. Merrill found that he
had passed one or more policemen from the
tIrf rfrr ttr place ,Ahaln- Ina Maa arrpsted,
MacNamnra claims that they all parted on
Dorrancs street, not far from Pine. but this
could moi be- az hopkins was not gone long
enough from Elizabeth street TO cover so
much ground.
MaoNamara also claims that there was a

the trap. 1t will save you lifelong anx-
iety and will give me eternal stisfac-
tion.''
The sheriff replied: 81 cannot do IL
Harry. / know my duty" On the scat
fold Harry made an extended statement.
He said that TO please the several pae-
tors who had called upon him, he would
say "God forgive me for what 1 have
DONE.
The trap fell al 2:10 O'Clock and the
wonderful vitality of the man was shown
by the fact that he lived for several
moments after the trap fell. His neck
was broken.
With a gamblers phrase on his lips
and cold smile upon hisface, Harry Hay
ward faced the eternal this morning.
"Puli her tight, I'll stand pat"
These were the last words he uttered,
rs the deputy with blanched face and
trembling hands pulled the well soaped
moose az tightly about the murderer's s neck
as he could, in order that death might
come the more quickly and the more
surely.
II was IL minutes past 2 O'Clock when
SheriffHolmberg pulled the lever and thus
released the trap upon which Hayward
stood. In just 13 minutes county physi-
cia Frank Burton declared that the
swinging figure, in which not a move
ment or struggle had been observed, was
that OF dead man. The final act in tho
great tradgedy OF life and death had
been played, and the curtain had been
rung down on the career OF the chief
actor. The coolest man at bis own execu-
tion was Harry Hayward. Debonair as
ever, what had seemed mere effrontery
during his iail days. now became in the
great oimly lighted gsllows room the
courage and indifference OF a man who
was at least not afraid TO die.
When the cap WIS drawn down over

the knot 20, under The T1gnT CaF- M
it's the left. isn't il? Please pull il tight.
That's good. Keep your courage up,
gentlemen.
The prisoners face purpied slightly,
as the moose tightened and the visor of
the black cap was turned down. Ii was
Hayward's last glimpse OF earth.
''Pull her tight, I'll stand pat, "he said.
Megarden stepped back, raised his
hand and like shot the body dropped
through 1.-The opened door. There was
not tremor or struggle and the specta-
tors waited breathlessly while the doctor
listened TO the fluttering heart. Thirteen
long minutes passed. Doctor Burton
stepped back and the spectators began TO
file out. 4 deputy loosened the strap
that bound the hands. They fell inert
at the side OF the body. Harry Hayward
was dead.

of Delegates.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE main de-
fails of the Repu blican national conyen-
tion at st. Louis on June 16 were perfect
ed at a meeting today OF the sub commit
tee, appointed last night TO take charge
OF arrangements. Messrs. Kerens and
Thompson, representing st. Louis, were
present at the meeting and gave as
surances that the plans proposed would
be speedily executed.
The committee agreed that the seating
arrangement OF the st. Louis exposition
building needed remodeling. ihe alter
stions OF the building probably VIII cost
$4,000.
The question of alloting tickets brought
out much animated discussion. The ex-
position building accommodates 1900
people, bat these limits are expected 10
be severely taxed. IL is understood that
an understanding was reached that the
st. Louis local committee would not con-
troll more than 5000 tickets, and of those
800 should 20 to veterans OF the war an d
300 to distinguished guests.
The national committee, IL is under
stood, will control the balance of the
tickets, as well as retaining a supervisory
authority over the 5000 tickets going 10
st. Louis. The Subcommittee adjourned
TO meet in st. Louis the latter part of
January, the date to be announced here
after. They will personally inspect the

tion.

Modern Town Meeting--Why
It Is Held Every Year.
Dog Licenses First, Food and Cloth

Paradoxical as it may appear Provi-
dence did not, when il ado pied the city

fashioned town meeting altogether. Once
year the freemen assemble, as did their
forefathers, and transact business accord
Ing 10 a system with newer methods long
since made antiquated. Such meeting
will be held on the 21st OF the present
month and those who are curious TO
earn how public business was dis
patched in the early days when Proyi-
dence was only a town, will have a
chance TO do 30 by attending the Dexter
donation town meeting
By this annual return TO the Gus
toms of a by-gone generation a tribute
is paid 10 the memory of the greatest
public benefactor Providence has ever
had, and this tribute, small as Ii may APP
pear at first glance, will be as permanent
and lasting as the bronze presentment OF
the philanthropist which graces the mag
niiicent training field which bears his
name or the institution which his bounty
provided to shelter the poor OF his native
city. Ebenezer knight Dexter was a
man of peculiar temper, but of broad and
catholic charity. And in the bestowal
OF his bounty he was eminently practical
TIE conditions with which he surrounded
his magnificent gift 10 Providence are a
standing testimonial to his correct sense
and wise judgment and foresight.
