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. -

Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments of children said
"When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine I ever use, and
that 13 Chamberlain's Cough .Remedy,
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
c .u;h medicine in the market." If this
remely is frealy given aa Boon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children, as it, contains noth
iog in jorious. For sale by Blakcley &
