stoisism repressed anything like an
outburst.
That's id long time to wait
| for a railroad train he drawled.
Its not a very long time for
| man who is going to take a trip
i into the hereafter replied the sher-
iff, impressively.
Hayward here signified that he
would like to make a statement to
the public, and Capt. West took pen
,ll and paper and wrote at Hay
f.-rd's dictation. His exact words
are given below, and plainly indicate
the vindictive spirit and disordered
imagination of the man.
WOULD CUT A SWATH.
Its a short time, out it's just as
we'll. l am as ready as 1 ever shall
be- 1 would rather be hung than go to
Saltwater for life. If the governor
would come over here, and talk with
me, 1 should tell him the same thing.
1 have had a damn good time here, and
am going to have a good time yet. L
have got no kick coming. They ought
to go back to the old times. Everybody
is too soft-hearted now. Now, L tell
! you, Mike Kierce is smart-but that
i brother of mine-Adry-if L had him
| here, l would cut his - out, and pull
his eyes out, and cut his heart out, and
| then l would like to have BliXt there
! and make him look on. After 1 had
/ them all cut up, l would then sew them
| up, and throw them away to the dogs.
| II am not made out of milk and wa
| ter 1 feel just as good now as L ever
| did. If l could hear of my mother and
! father and brother Thaddeus' death
! after that, it would not matter to ME,
and 1 would be happy, for 1 would
know they would not be bothered about
me- Have got the right to invite any,
| body l want to see me hung. If l did,
1 would invite the Dalton brothers, Bill
| Cook and Cole Younger. and give them
/ two good revolvers apiece-if 1 had a
good 44-Colt revolver. and Capt. West
| in the dungeon, would get out in ten
I minutes.
| ED Stevens is a-----!
| On or about the 10th day of October, I
employed Ed Stevens apparently olook
up and settle old gambling claims, but
| in reality to plan and help to carry out
d jail DISdhAiS. I1S W as co
! to it, and represented to me that he
could do it, and 1 gave him $140 to use
! for that purpose. He went to Chicago
with the money, and imported man.
He paid the mans fine, SOS, to get him
out of Jail there. The man was to buy
five revolvers, and Stevens came back
/ and said he had bought them. There
| were three 4-caliber Remington der
ringers and two 3S-caliber double-ac-
! ton Colts, also two hats, two pair of
| overshoes, two flannel shirts and two
pair Of gloves.
Stevens was also to furnish a rig
/ and a man, at the front Jail door, and
draw Sandberg's attention, SO me and
Dearing could make our play from the
| inside. In that way We could gain our
| liberty. Three days after Stevens
! came back from Chicago he came to
| me and said that the sheriff's office
/ knew all about 1.-THE little niger
| gave it away. But we kept on our
] plan of escape. We gave the niger
/; s. to make the niger make the sheriff
believe that we were still trying that
way of escape"
ALL HIS PLANS FAILED.
well, that fizZled out completely.
i Then 1 gave Stevens s1O0 and he went
| out on a nitroglycerin exploring trip.
He reported he had found it. 1t was
to be brought to me and L was to pass
it up to Dearborn and he was to place
it in the water closet. The stuff was
to be used to blow holes in the Jail
so we could effect our escape. The
| total amount of money paid Stevens
! for his services in assisting us in Jail
| breaking was S465 Stevens brought
me some morphine to give to Brusven,
| the night watchman, to put him to
| sleep. You will find it now, hidden in
/ the cell where I was before this, in a
! crack near the door, if you look.
