Minneapolis. M.nn.. December IL
Beyond much question, Harry Hayward,
was o. degenerate. Such is the belief Of
one Of tae specialists who conducted the
autopsy. OF the four stigmata named
by Cassare Lombrosa as Invariably
charac,erizing degenerates three have
been found. viz: Marked symmetry Of
the skull, brain and face, protuberant
front teeth and narrow and shapely
arcaed palate. The fourth one les in
the facial and nasal angles and will
probably be found to exist when the
proper calculations have been made
from the skull measurements. The
brain has been found TO weigh ffty-tye
ounces about normal and the defects IN
i,, il any, are TOO subtle for either knl1e
or microscope 10 de-ec-.
Before his execution, Harry, at the re
quest oil his brother. Dr. Tladdeus con-
scented that an autopsy should be per
formed and h.s brain examined. Inis
was done az The mOrgue to-day by
committee of physicians headed by Dr.
w. A. Jones. the brain specialist and
Dr. H. A. TOmlusou. formerly super-n-
-elden- of the Insane asmlum at ST. Pc
ter. Careful measurements of the head
showed tina, il was about normal IN
size and shape.

was long. the forehead narrow and re-
treating and the temporal bones very
chick The brain itself seemed small
&c was taken 10 be treated and be eN-
amiuei more carefully.
It is supposed that the lengthy auto
biography which Harry Hayward die
tated to- q stenOgrapher last night con-
taius a full confession of his own con-
uection with the murder of Catherine
Cling. as well as sensational accounts
. of other crimes in which he has been in
volved. but the real facts Will not be
known until the statement is printed
i'm book form. The book was an idea
which occurred 20 Hayward only a day
or two ago. and it WAS his belief that
it might be made profitable 20 his
cousin. GoOdseu Accordingly, he die
tated it at length to Court StenOgrapher
Richard Mabey i'm the presence Of Good
sell and Joseph T. ManniX. reporter.
These three are the only persons who
know its contents and naturally Will
diyulge nothing. 1t is pretty certain,
however. that Harry told them al. and
that his story confirmed RliSt's story,
told at the trial. very Smpletely.
Harry's own idea was that as he did
not actually commit the deed he was
WINGED that he was not free from guilt,
since his own hand was not imbued in
CATHERINE GING'S BLOOD.
Hayward also made several statements
TO the public into a phonograph. and
the owners of the instrument expect TO
make money by permitting the public
10 hear Harry's own voice after IT'S
owner has been laid away In the earth.
