C'J n ran? rrfx VOL. VIII- THE DALLES, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1895. NO. 291 11 A) WARDS HANGS The Prisoner the Coolest Man Present. 'PULL HER TIGHT; I'LL STAND PAT" Bade Good-bye to His Friends An Au topsy Held BylSpsciallsts In dicates That Be Was a "Degenerate." Minneapolis, Dec. 11. With a gam bler's pbraBeJ.npon his lips and a cold emile upon his face, Harry Hay ward faced eternity this'morning. "Pall her tight; I'll. stand pat," were the last words he ottered. The deputy, with blanched face and trembling hands, palled the well soaped noose as tightly about the murderer's neck as be could, in order that death might come quickly and more surely. It was 2:12 when Sheriff Holmberg pulled the lever, and released the trap upon which Hayward'stood. '.In 13 min utes County Physician Burton declared the swinging;figure, in which'no move ment or struggle had been observed, was that of a dead man. The coolest man at his own execution I. was Harry Hay ward, debonnaire as ever. What seemed mere effrontery during his jail days now became, in the great dimly lighted gallows-room, the courage and indifference of a man who was, at least, not afraid to die. The room was illuminated onlyjby a locomotive head light, suspended about four feet from the floor, opposite the scaffold. The chief deputy mounted the scaffold, where Warden Wolfe, of the state peni teniiary, ex-Sheriff Win Brackett and ex-Sheriff Chappell, of St. Paul, were al ' ready waiting, and directed that every hat be remoyed, and that there be no smoking. A cordon of policeman filed in and made a little passage-way for the death party. Meanwhile the prisoner had been made ready in his cell room. A black silk robe had been put on, and a black cap adjusted. Suddenly the door was thrown open, and the sound of an inar ticulate yell floated in from the cell room, where the prisoners comrades were taking their farewell. Then came three hoarse cheers for Sheriff Holmberg, led by Hayward himself, and ending with "he's all right." As the echoes died away the sheriff appeared, followed by the prisoner, be tween Deputies Wright and Anderson, Deputy Megarden bringing up the rear. Harry Hayward entered thedeath cham ber with the same easy stride that marked his promenades when he was a swagger youth in society. "Good evening, gentlemen," Baid he, in clear, even tones, as he bowed his way into the room, wearing his somber garb so jauntily that its grotesquences was forgotten. As he made his way up the stairs to the scaffold ho tripped on his unaccustomed gown. This' amused him and he laughed. As he strode up to the trap, the depu ties looked more like frightened children hanging to a parent than officers of the law. Harry Hayward mignt have posed for a figure of Justice defending the weak, instead of a murderer going to his doom. Carefully placing his feet on the marked spots, he threw his splendid fig ure to its greatest height, and glanced about him, his calm face occasionally brightened by a smile of recognition as he saw some friend. Upon being asked if he had anything to say he replied, in a careless, drawling -tone, "Well, yes." He moistened his lips with his tongue. "Among you all," he began, "there has been a good deal of curiosity and wonder at my actions, and some of you think I am the very devil," with a peculiar drawling accept on the, first syl lable of that word, "and if you all knew my whole life you would think eo all the more. I have dictated a full statement today of all my life to Mr. Edward Good sell, Mr. J. T. Mannix and a stenograph er let's see, what's that stenographer's name?" and Hayward peered down over the edge of his scaffold as if expecting some one to answer. "Where's Uline?" he went on some what discontentedly, "I promised to take his dog with me, under my arm, to make him a record. It would be a good thing for the dog. Doyle, you told me to bow to you. Where are you? Aren't you here? It can't see you," and the speaker peered about for the detect ive. "I'm here, Harry," called out Doyle. "Well, then, good evening, Mr. Doyle, said the prisoner, smiling graciously and bowing. .Then taking another tack, he called out; -"Clemens, did you get that ticket?" A bat was shoved into the cone of light In assent. Ah, that good. Mannix, let me see now," and Hayward hesitated with em- harassment like a man who had forgot ten his speech. Take your time," Eaid Sheriff Holm berg. I certainly had something to say to Mannix, because I have always enter tained the kindest feeling for him. 'Joe, remind me of what it was. You know I have been having trouble with my mem ory lately." Say nothing more in that line,' fame in low, distinct tones from Mannix. "You are about to meet your God and should express here your forgiveness for your brother, as yen did eo nobly to me today, and with the thoughts of your mother and your father before you, you should act as you have during the last 48 hours, meeting death manfully and forgiving all those toward whom you have had any ill-will up to this time." Megarden siepped back, raised his hand for the fatal signal, and like a shot the body dropped through the open trap. There was not a tremor or struggle. The spectators waited breathlessly while the doctor listened to the fluttering of the heart. Thhteen minutes passed before Dr. Burton stepped back and the spec tators filed out. The deputy loosened the straps that bound the hands. They fell inert at the side of the body. Harry Hayward was dead. Hayward' Confession. St. Paul, Dec. 11. A Minneapolis special to the Dispatch says: Harry Hayward confessed a few hours before he was banged. He told Dr. Frank Bur ton, in the presence of a dispatch re porter, how he concocted the plot for the murder of Kitty Ging. During the re volting narrative the smile never left his face. There is nothing that causes women greater discomfort and misery than the constantly recurring Headache. Men suffer less with Headacbe. "My wife's health was very indifferent having Headache continually, and just two packages of Simmons Liver Regulator released her from all Headache and gave tone and vigor to her whole system. I have never regretted it's use." M. B. DeCord, Mt. Vernon, J.y. Warrant's Death Warrant. San Francisco Dec 11. General Dickinson, attorney for Theodore Dur rant, presented a writ of probable cause today for the purpose of preventing Dur rant's removal from the county jail, and enabling him to remain there. Judge Murphy denied the motion for a writ cf probable cause. Dnrrant will be re quired to prepare at once for removal to state prison. Dickinson said he and District Attor ney Barnes had agreed to try Durrant for the murder of Minnie Williams early in January and it was necessary to have Durrant then in the county jail. Judge Murphy emphatically refueed to allow a stay ot one day in the order for removal. He said Durrant's death warrant would bs signed today. No date for the execu tion has been set. - Y 1 szszm Si is Am S3 When your cake is heavy, soggy, lncugestiDie, it s aj pretty sure sign that you i didn't shorten it with Cotto- j lene.
