Hayward confessed Tuesday night.
Every shadow of doubt as to his guilt
in connection with the murder of
Catherine Cling was swept away by
the voluntary word of the assassin. In
the still watches of the night Hayward
turned to County Physician Burton,
who constantly attended him, and as
to father confessor, admitted that
the gallows was about to receive one
of the guil,iest of wretches of the
nineteenth century.
The story OF the crime he recited
from beginning to end, confessing that
he alone was the ins.igator of the
murderous plot, and that Claus Blixt
was but his .ool The story was told
much as Blixt told it on the stand,
Harry reserving not an iota of blame
from himself.
II fell down at the last moment,
though said he, after a full confess
sion had been made. Il intended 20
kill Blixt but could not. If had
would have been safe. The morning

Minneapolis Dec, 1l,-At five min
utes past o'clock this morning tlar-
~ Hayward was hanged iii the Jail in
this city for the murder of Catherine
Cling.
Hayward made a statement OF five
minutes duration, ard while not max
ing a confession, said that ..e hoped
God would forgive him for all the
harm he had ever done.
Before dark last night morbid
crowds had assembled in the vicinity
of the Jail. There was nothing to see
except the gray walls, but yet they
fingered, waiting until the tragic even.
took place. At midnight the throng
numbered several hundred.
Sheriff Holmberg visited the cell for
a short time Tuesday and asked if
there was anything he wished.
Yes" was the reply, Il want to
give the boys a big spread tonight"
"All right" answered the sheriff,
you can have anything you want
Harry at once set to work and pre-
pared a bill of fare for the last social
occasion which he was to grace, in
Guiding a possum, a sucking pig, one
turkey, chicken salad. celery, oysters,
on the half shell, mince pie.
Hayward's swell dinner-"last sup
per" as he profoundly expressed it
was served according to his desire
shortly after 10 o'clock and he partook
of it with apparent relish.
Rev. Father Timothy arrived short
ly after, not upon summons of the
condemned man, but in case that at
the last moment desire should be
expressed by the hitherto unrepent
ant man for spiritual adviser.
During the evening Hayward held 4
lengthy conversation with his attend
ants and laughed and joked on the
subject of his approaching execution.
AS Sheriff Sandberg was covering
the alley, Harry noticed him and
shouted
That's right Block out the gaping
crowd. There will be no visitors after
5 in the morning. People wishing to
see me will have to call at the morgue,
as | intend to change my quarters, !"
and he laughed as he said it.
To a newspaper man he said: Il
would like to see the account of how
this thing came out and about my ac-
lions on the scaffold." And again he
laughed as if he was going to picnic
instead of to his death.
That Hayward is the prince of liars
is shown in his late invention, made
for what purpose no one can divine,
that he is a married man. and that he
was married secretly in August, 1894,
to Miss Stella Goodman. The story
has been thoroughly refuted.
The girl is we'll known as a theater
supernumary. Harry's desire to see
her apparently inspired the secret
marriage story but the sheriff took
no stock in it, and the doomed man
was not permitted to see the girl, al
though she responded to the summons.
Her mother declares that the marriage
story is false, and that her daughter
had not seen Hayward for three years
before his arrest. She had forgotten
ever having met him until his arrest
recalled the fact She is but II now
She has sent him many flowers during
his Incarceration. Not one of Hay
wards relatives take any stock in the
tale.
