THE AVERAGE MURDERER.
In Prison He Appears Happy, and Ger
tainly He Grows Fat.

One of the strangest of all the strange
phases of human nature IS the cheerful
ness of the average murderer after con-
viction and sentence. There are, OF
course, exceptions to the rule; there
are murderers who await execution in
horror and dread, and occasionally one
dies of this torment before the fatal day
arrives. But these are rare cases and
do not affect the correctness of the
is a rather cheerful person. sleeps well,
has good appetite, grows fat, and, till
his last hour, manifests a lively interest
in such worldly affairs as occupied his
mind before he was caught, Gagged and
marked for the hangman.
Trouble of mind is not conducive to
the taking on of fat. \ convict whose
day of death had been finally fixed, and
who had no ground oIE (which to base
the faintest hope of clemency, might
affect cheerfulness, or even popularity,
in the presence of visitors. But there
is no affecting a growth of adipose. The
man whose weight is increasing day by
day, even in the shadow of the gallOws,
is not in mental distress. The mind
and body are too closely related for
either to be tormented without the full
participancy Of the other.
Here is an extract from a reporters
accounted avisit to Harry Hayward, at
Minneapolis, who was put to death for
one of the most cruel, cold blooded muir
ders ever perpetrated:
"'Do you think you will hang?'
eyes, think l will, old man. Hay
ward replied. His face did not change
color, nor did he finch. Then he con-
tinued, laughing: a fellow has got to
go some time, and it might as well be
one time as another. Only I wish it
we'll done and no bungling. But, by
the-by, what do you think about the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fighter rather
the one that did not come off? l will
tell you what believe. think 'Fitz"
was afraid of Jim. would hate to see
Jim get whipped, for he is an American.
But the fight will never come of, now
he added.
"'How is your health, Mr. Hayward"
"'Splendid. When 1 came in here l
weighed 100, hut 1 have gained 40
pounds. You see. l have nothing to
worry me. have slept well, and eaten
heartily and will continue to do so until
the end"
If this were an exceptional case it
would be interesting only as possible
indication of lunacy. But it presents
nothing that is unusual. 1t is strange
only because it is impossible for the
average mind to conceive of such cheer
fitness, such indifference under the
conditions surrounding this man.
