Clough this afternoon sentenced Harry
Hayward, the murderer of CATHERINE
Cling to be hanged Wednesday, Deeem-
ber IL.
Hayward heard the news of his doom
from Sheriff Holmberg's lips, The pri-
soner evinced no signs of breaking
down, but on the other hand repeated
the awful eNecrations against his
brother Adry which of late have been
the only indication that he appreciat-
ed the seriousness of his position.
well Harry" said the sheriff, as he
approached Hayward, I've come to.
tell YOU that the governor has signed
your death warrant and tiNCd' It tor
next Wednesday,"
That's ID long time to wait for
railroad train was the prisoners
ejacuation.
IF you're in the depot it's n long
time" said the sheriff. but you're on
the track for eternity You have
good many things to consider before
Wednesday; you have little time left
to stay here
II know that have little time, said
Harry. There are few things I'd
like to straighten out, and few folks
/ would like to get even with. If had
my brother Adry here" and Harry
stood and clenched his fists and shook
them from side to side. ..pdding, IF
had my brother Adry here, / would
take his entraiis out and stretch them
like clothes line Hbacl and forth
through this CELL
Il am not quite so mad at BliXt as
folks think, but ii my father, mother
and brother Adry Hayward.Were dead
| would be the happiest man in the
world"
Wei, Harry" the sheriff broke in,
II see you have some sympathy left
in you yet"
NO" said Harry, I have not any
sympathy, but / feel where there
ought to be some"
Here Hayward began 70 dictate .
statement to JaiFoT West IN regard 10
the jail breaking episode and other in
cidents Of bis jail life.
The statement is somewhat incoher-
emf and decidedly bloodthirsty. 1t
starts out: "A short time is just as
good as longer time and I am as ready
now as | ever shall be. | had rather
be hung than go to Saltwater for life.
If the governor would come over here
and talk with me, | would tell him
something's. I've had id good
time here and l will have a good time
vet i have no kick coming"
They ought to go back to the old
times. People are too soft hearted
now If 1 had Adry here, I'd put his
eyes out and his heart out, and I'd have
Blixt look ON, then I'd cut them up
and throw them to the dogs, I'm not
made of milk and water,''-'
Turning to the sheriff at this point,
Hayward asked; II have alright to
invite three persons into see the hang
ing, haven't I?''
I'D have the Dalton brothers Bill
Cook and Cole Younger, and I'd give
them two revOlyers apiece
The statement then takes up the
matter of the prisoners. projected es-
cape. The main portion of this reci-
tai is devoted to1roasting Ed. Stevens,
a local attorney, who, Hayward claims
acted the part of Il friend in need and
then played him false. Hayward
claims to have paid Stevens S465 and
that Stevens failed TO perform what he
had promised TO do for that sum
