Hayward Executed After Troubling Last Words
Harry Hayward was hanged at 2 05 this morning after a five minute statement hoping God would forgive his past harm. He faced the gallows with a laugh and urged the trap to be pulled, while his brother received a last message from him. The case stemmed from the 1894 murder of Catherine Ging near Lake Calhoun with Claus Blixt later confessing under pressure, while Hayward denied a final confession yet remained the central figure of the sensational trial lasting seven weeks.
