argued that the gun was close to the
head, that it caused an explosion and
that the natural course of the range
might have been DETECTED. The pill
low nearest the wall had not been
occupied and from this it was alleged
that Hayes killed his wife and had
not been to bed at all.
The prosecution did not show any
motive for the killing, if Hayes we're
guilty. AS stated the affair occurred
on the Goth of April. The coroner
empaneled no jury at that time, but
Mr.. Crane, the father of the de-
ceased, was not satisfied and an in
quest was held later. The jury did
not incriminate Hoyt Hayes. Sub
sequently warrant was sworn out
and Hayes was arrested. He was
released on bail AMI in July, 1908,
his case was tried. After being out
twenty hours the jury announced its
inability to agree. AT the second
trial in November, 1908, the proceed
ings occupied five days and attracted
widespread attention. Hayes was con-
victed and was sentenced to be hanged
on the 18th of January, 1904. The
att, rm".s appealed the case and the
Supreme Cout decided against the
grounds Of appeal. Accordingly the
case was remanded that another date
of execution might be fixed. Octo-
ber IA, 1904, was the day set and on
that day Governor Hayward decided
the case.
Solicitor ",ggs was assisted by
Geo. E. .'ince, of Anderson,
while Messrs. Jaynes & Shelor and
Stribling & Herndon represented the
defendant. Jas. p. Carey also
represented the defendant before the
Supreme Court.
CARvALHo's LETTER.

under date of October 10, 1904:

NIT herewith my report in re- e-exami-
nation of certain handwriting ex-
hibits used in the trial of the capital

HAYES PARDONED.
Testimony of Handwriting Experts--General
Review of the Case.

Solicitor Boggs said: "Defendant
sentenced to be hanged on October
Ia, 1904, l concur with the Circuit
and Supreme Courts"
Judge Dantzler made the follow
ing report: "The testimony in this
case having been printed and pre-
sented to your excellency for consid-
GRAFTON, l respectfully return petit
tions without expressing an opinion
or making recommendation, leaving
it to your excellency to reach a just
conclusion from the consideration of
suou testimony"
Governor Hayward then carefully
read the testimony and examined the
written exhibits used on trial. The
evidence was entirely circumstantial.
The State failed to show any mo-
tive for the crime. The defense re-
lied upon the theory that the de.
ceased committed suicide and note
