Provo. Dec. Hilary Hayes. the
convicted Pelican Point murderer. was
taken from the county Jail today at ,
o'clock into the courtroom before Judge
Hatch. who fixed the day to resen-
tence him.
Hayes was ordered to stand UP and
Judge Hatch said:
Harry Hayes. on the 9th of April
last the judgment of this court was
passed upon YOU. that you be taken to
some quiet place in Utah county on the
18th day of June, 1896. and there be
hanged by the neck until you were
dead From this judgment you ap-
pealed to the supreme court That
court has rendered its decision. and a
remittitur has been handed down con-
firming this court
Clerk Jones then read the remitti-
tur
Judge Hatch, resuming, said:
1t becomes my duty. now. to fix
day for passing sentence. The court
sets Friday. Dec. Is, 1895, at 10 o'clock
as the day and hour for fixing the date
OF execution"
While the court was busy with other
matters Hayes talked very little with
the reporters.
To one he said: why don't they
get the guilty parties?"
When he was asked who they were,
he said:
4 don't know. As well pick up a
man on Main street and try him as
try me for the crime for which 1 am
to hang"
Hayes feels very bitter towards the
officers. First one and then the other
is censured by him.
Today Sheriff Brown came in for
large share of Hayes contempt'
The prisoner shows signs of worry
in his face. Close confinement is tell
ing on him. His brown beard is a
great contrast to his pale. careworn
features. He was not out of the Jail
more than 20 minutes, but in that time
volumes to him was enacted.
Mrs. Hayes sat on the opposite side
of the room, facing her husband. and
listened very inteutly TO everything
that was said She realizes. fully. the
situation her husband is in. and senses
it more keenly than does Hayes
The officers keep a close watch on
the condemned man 1t has been in
timated to them that Hayes woul1
never die by the rope: at least. it is
reported that one of his nearest friends
made such a statement.
