MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 10-The antemor-
tenn statement of Harry E. Hay ward,
the full text of which makes thirty
thousand words, marks him as an un-
usual type OF criminal. He claims to
have murdered no less than five people
and the language used in describing bis
criminal adventures is of the careless
flippsnt style that characterized his tes-
timony on the stand.
His first murder was that of Carrie
Hass, near Pasadena, Cal. He said be
met the girl at a dance and killed her,
and continuing said: 'She had money
and shot her and I buried her. II was
only 500 aud some odd that she had. ]
got the money" He describes how be
got her money on some pretext inveigled
her to drive in the noun taIns, and how
he shot her. 1t was fzzle, he said, as
be did not figure it out carefully. She
did not die at once, but Topped around
He buried her as best be could, but two
weeks later sent man out, who put her
in box and threw it into Port Los
Angeles. On the principle of honor
among thieves, be would not tell the
name. Nothing has ever come of the
matter.
Money he said, was his first object in
life; girls, second and travel, third. He
was going with girl In Minneapolis
who had $4,000 @ year. He had planned
to kill her, but did not, because there
was no way he could get the money.
While tending bar at Long Beach, he
said he killed a consumptive man, who
had money and wanted 10 die. He re-
fused 10 give the mans name, on the
ground that he had an accomIlice, who
might get into trouble. The victim was
shot and thrown into the water.
He killed. Chinaman In gambling
quarrel, and the brother OF Mexican
girl at Psso del Norte; and lastly Miss
Cling.
The object OF the Ging murder was
money and hatred. He hated the girl
because she was stingy. He exonerated
Audry from all connection with his
schemes, and said Blixt was hypnotized
and not responsible. In closing his state
mept, Hayward said: Il have told the
truth, so help me God, il there is God.
IL there is be wont busme me. / honest
