ritlful Scene at the Funeral of Harry
Hayward.
HOW THE MURDERER MET DEATH
A Remarkable Display of Coolness and
Ncrvo as ho Looked His Last Upon
Earth Ho Was the Least Affected
of Any Man Present.
MiJcnSavoms, lien. 12. At tlio Rim pi
burial (.crvlcu over tlio remains of Iln-ry
Huywnnt yostordny nfternoon, ut Luke!
wood cumctcry, tlioro occurred n most
trnulo Incident. The ceremony hi'ld
In tlio llttlo chnpcl at tlio cemetery, mid
wns attended iiy n very fow friends mid
tlio members of tho family, Adry Included.
After the words of scrlpturo and prnypr
Mrs. liny ward desired to placo some
flowers on tho caskot, and supported by
her son, Dr. Tliaddotis Hayward, and her
husband, advanced to do so. Sho walked
around tho head of tho collln, strewing
carnations as sho did so. When sho hail
nrrrlvod ut tho right hand sldo of tho bier,
sho hesitated. In responso to a siRiial from
her Thnddous and her husband loosoncd
tholr support ot her and sho stood alone.
Sho raised her clinched hands and broke
forth In a low moaning tono:
"Poor, dear Harry! My baby boy! My
dear baby boy! God has forgiven him!
Poor, dear Harry! Poor, dear Harry ! 'IJo
bravo, mother; bo bravo and strong! Tho
chains bind me, but they can't chain my
soul? I como again!' Poor, doar Harry!
My baby boy I"
With this tho mother half turned nnd
started toward whero Adry sat. In front
of Adry sho stopped nnd lifting his faco lu
hqr hands said "'Tell him I'vo forgiven
him, mother.' "
Her reproachful tones echoed in tho
silent room. Seemingly half crazed, tho
bereaved mother turned from her cider
boy t6 Vfhcrd hor youngest lay, nhd foil
fainting Into tho seat near by.
Harry's parents had expected to mnko
their son a last visit during Tuesday after
noon, but strength and courage failed
them. Tho old father, whoso whole frame
shakes with palsy, Is a pitiable object, but
his mental condition Is not so bud an
might bo expected. Tho mother has borne
up remarkably well, but those who know
her best fear for her reason.
Hayward's demennor at his oxecutlou
was a romarkablo exhibition of coolness
and nervo. Debonair as ever, what bad
seotned moro effrontery during his jail
days now became, In tho great dimly
lighted gallows room, tho lndiffercuco of n
man who was, at least, not afraid to die.
Jfot'a man of tho llttlo group of privileged
spectators, but whoso heart thumped moro
loudly and importunately than that ouo
which was so soon to coaso its beating, not
a faco but turned more ghastly than his In
tho gruesomo light.
"Good ovoning, gentlemen," said ho in
clear tones, us ho bowed his way Into tho
room, wearing bis somber garbso jauntily
that Its grotosiniencss was forgotten. As
ho made his way up tho stairs to tlio scaf
fold ho tripped on tho unaccustomed gown.
This amused him, and ho laughed ut tho
first step. As ho strodo upon tho trap the
deputies lookod moro llko frightened chil
dren hanging to a parent than olHcers of
law. Harry Huywanl might have posed
for a figure of justico defending tho weak
Instead of u murderer going to his doom.
Carefully placing his feet on tho marked
spots ho drew his splendid flguro to Its
greatest height und glnuccd about with a
calm face, occasionally brightened by a
sinllo of recognition as ho espied soino
friend In tho crowd.
On being asked if he had anything to
say, ho replied in a careless, drawling
tone: "Well, yes. Thero has been a good
deal of curiosity and wonder at my nc
tloii, and some of you think that I am a
very devil, and If you all knew my whole
llfo you would think so all tho more. I
have dictated tho full etatoment today of
my llfo to Mr. Kdward Goodsell, Mr. J. T.
Mannix and a stenographer let's see,
what's that stenographer's 11111110?" and
Hayward peered down over tlio edgo of
his scaffold as if expecting somo 0110 to
answer.
Thus ho went on for somo tlmo, culling
to several persons by name, and making
some flippant remark to each. Then he
spoke of tho priests who had taken an In
terest in him, buying ho held them in
greatest respect, but "could not think as
they would have him." Then ho repeated
a short prayer, In obedience, ho said, to 11
promise ho had mado his lawyer; but thero
was no show of feeling. Ho said: "Oh,
Lord', for Christ's giiko forgive mo my
gins. Megarden, go ahead."
Thus ho indicated to Deputy Megarden
that ho was ready to die. As tho deputies
put tlio ropo about his neck ha said: "Lot's
gee, where Hooj the knot go, under the
right ear? No, It's tho left. Isn't It? Please
pull it tight. That's good. Keep your
courage up, goutlomcn. Pull her tight;
Pll stand pat." Megarden stepped back,
raised his hand lu thofiHat signal, and llko
a shot tho body dropped through the opened
trap. Death was instantaneous.
Lato Tuesday night Harry had a recon
ciliation with )ils brothur Adry, whom ho
go bitterly denounced lust Huuduy. It wits
easy to, percelvo that Hurry's animosity
wiw short lived.
It Is. supposed that the lougthy autobi
ography wldoh JIuj-ward dictated to a
stenographer contains a full confession of
his own cpnueetlon with tho murder of
Catherine Gjng, an yvell as ggnsattpual ac
counts of other crlmos in which ho has
bceu involved, but tlio real facts will not
be known until tho statement is printed
in book form. Tho book was an Idea
which occurred to Hayward only a day or
two ago and It was his belief that It might
be mado projltablo to his cousin, Good
soli. Accordingly, ho dictated it at length
to Court Stenographer Klchard Maboy in
the prosenco of Goodsoll and Joseph T.
Mnnnlx, a reporter. Thoso three are the
only persons who know its contonts, and,
naturally, will dlvulgo nothing.
Hayward also made several statemouts
to tho public Into a phonograph, and tho
owners of tho Instrument expect to make
money by pernlii: 1113 tiu pnnl'ir to near
Harry's own voice after its owner has been
laid uwuy in the earth.
Hcfore hU execution Hurry, at tho re
quest of his 'brother, Dr. Thaddeus Huy
wanl, consented that tin autopsy should
be performed und his brain examined. He

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1. Tlio senate In
vestigating committee yesterday resumed
its work of Inquiring into tho municipal
affairs of tho city. Kx-Councllmau Ueas
loy, who at a previous meeting ot tho com
mittee testified to his inability to find tlio
contract signed by tho Philadelphia Trac
tion company giving tho city tho right to
do away with overhead trolleys when a
better system became known, gave somo"
minor testimony, after which ho said ho
had found tho contract In tho mayor's of
fice. Ho said It was signed by tho traction
ofllciuls, but not by Mayor Stunrt. Ho was
not prepared to sny whothcr this vitiated
the contract or not.
The subject of electric lighting was then
taken up. Myron D. Law, cx-superlntpn-deht
of tho Brush company, estimated that
the cost of each light per night, If a plant
was owned by tho city, would bo about
twenty-two or twenty-fivo cents. Ho re
ferred to the present system of overhead
trolleys, and said an underground system
could bo adopted for about tho same cost.
Other witnesses wero examined, showing
that tlio companies now furnishing light
sublet their contracts. It was shown by an
oldctrical export that tho city could fur
uish its own light at u fraction less than
sixteen cents per light per night, instead
of paying from thlrty-flvo to forty-five to
the contractors.
Tho committee's counsel, Lawyer Pettit,
then announced the beginning of the in
vestigation of the police bureau. Ho called
attention to thopHjvalencoof policy shops,
"speak easles" and houses of 111 famo, and
tho participation of policemen in polltios.
All tlieso tilings, und perhaps moro, ho
said, would bo shown. Tho committee ad
journed with Secretary Glbboney, pf the
Law und Order society, on tho stnnd testi
fying to "speak easles."
It Is said thero will not be any moro long
recosses until tho Christmas holidays, and
after that time thero will bo longer ses

A Forecast or Appointments at the Alms
house and on "The Hill."
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ACTING.
It Is Said Directors Dietrich and MIddleton
Will Make the Appointments. The
Martin-Allen Deal to be Repeated
Again This Year.
Special IlniiAi.ti ('cirreppnndonce.
1'OTTSVII.U:, Dec. 12. Much speculation is
indulged in and many surmises are made just
now in reference to tho appointments to lie
made by the County Commissioners and tho
Hoard of Poor Directors. So many rumors
aro floating about that ouo feelslike exclaim
ing, "Whore am I at." There aro a number
of applicants, too, who feel the same way.
At tho Poor House it Is said Directors
Deitricli and MIddleton will organize, leaving
Jacob Day, tlio other member of the Hoard.
out in the cold. From present indication? ftj
would appear that this rumor is ollicial, but
tho Directors themselves are 11011-comiiiittaI. '
The present Hoard is composed of three Ite
puhlicaus, and If they appoint oIlleiaN en- j
mt:ij- irmn iikil party it yui no soiueiiiuig
never before known in this county.
Steward Hartniaii has very wisely decided
not to he a candidate for reappointment.
Ills successor is said to he (Jordan Heed, who
is now holding tlio position of insane keeper,
and was an appointee of Director Dietrich
last year. John II. lieese, of St. Clair, the
present hospital keeper, is anxious to succeed
Clerk John V. Gressang, while Dr Gray Is to
remain in his present position. Solicitor W.
J. Whitchouse will not accept tho position
again, and S. Hiinl Edwards, Esq., who was
defeated for tho nomination of District
Attorney and is at present solicitor for the
Controller, is slated for the legal end of the
deal. It is well known that John II. lteese
is very close to Director MIddleton and that
he took a very active part In his nomination
and subsequent election, and this makes his
appointment to a position very certain.
Whether it will be clerk or steward there
seems to bo Somo" doubt. Middlotcm will
name tho majority of appointees north of
the mountain, and Shenandoah is said to
have a claim on him which lie will acknowl- 1
edge. Almshouse deals, however, are
"mighty uncertain" and the next few days ,
may make a big change.
While the manipulators of the Almshouse I
deals aro at work on the slates, the f.irmeis I
aro taking a hand in its affairs in a different
direction, notices nave been issued lor a
public indignation meeting to bo held at J.
S. Stout's hotel, in Kriedenslmrg, on Saturday
noxt. Farmers anil taxpayers, generally from
Wayne, 'Washington, North and South Man
heim townships, will he in attendance. At
the meeting it is expected that stringent
measures will be adopted demanding stricter
economy in the management of the almshouse
and a more judicious disposal of the public
'monies and a reduction in the salaries of the
employes.
In connection with the appointments on
"the hill" by the County Commissioners,
thereby hangs a talo. It is said the liepuhll
can Executive Committee has been "rom
liiting" behind closed doors, and have made
a demand upon the two Republican Commis
sioners to pull away from Mr. Martin and
organize on a strict Republican basis. What
Mr. I'lrich will say to this is not known, but
his say is a pretty large sized onejut now.
Tho Executive Committee, I am further in
formed, have made tlio same demand upon
I'rotlionotary Deegan. They want the Demo
cratic appointees under tlio Martin-Allen
deal and tlio l'rotliouotary's Democratic,
clerk removed and Hepublicans put in their
places, and their motto appears to be to the
victors belong tho spoils.
There is much speculation here as to what
will he tho combination in the Commissioners'
otllce. From the outside it looks very much
like tlio old slate, with Allen and Martin
forming the combine. I don't believe the
ell'orts of tho Executive Committee will re
sult in changing tiiis.
The rumor that John I'lrich will letire as
Solicitor to the Commissioners is looked upon
asajoke. Hig John will pull the strings if
Allen and Martin organize. The appoint
ment of a Mercantile Appraiser is causing
some trouble. There lire about a dozen ap
plicants, and outsido of one or two they are
all Democrats. This fact will likdly. cause
Martin to allow Allen to name the appointee;
to shift tho responsibility. Calvin W. Ilrewer,
it is said, will bo. asked to step down as
warden of tho prison. It would not he wise
to placo much faith in this rumor, with the
party organization in the hands if the pres
ent managers.
For the next three weeks all kinds of
rumors will float about, hut in summing up
thu state of affairs as they cxit at present at
the almshouse and on tho hill, the combina
tions appear to ho Middlcton-Dcitrich at the
former institution and Allen-Martin at the
latter. Felix.
