"HORRIBLE. DRE AM"--MRS, y AYESr Floyd's Slayer Talks About Killing. Declares She Had Dreamed of Tragedy Week Before. News and Courier, 1st. Unless there is a hitch of some kind, the trial of Atrs. Rosa D. Hayes. charged with the murder of Robert M. Floyd, at Tabor, N. C., on the evening of February 4, and Neal M. and Lloyd Hayes, charged as accessories, will begin at Whiteville, N. C., tomorrow, the attorneys in the case having agreed upon that day. The readers of the News and Courier are familiar with the facts connected with the kill ine of 'the young medical student, a native of Horry county, attending school in Charleston, the story as told by Mrs. Hayes, the accused woman, and the effort on the part of the pro secuton to show that Floyd was the victim of a plot, formed by the three Hayeses. It is also recalled that at the preliminary hearing something over two weeks ago, at Whiteville, the question of a motive for the killing was not touched upon. This is the all-absorbing topic to those interested in the case and to the public, who have discussed it. What will be shown at the trial of the case in the superior court tomorrow remains to be seen. Of considerable interest to the read ers of the News and Courier will be the lollowing Interview with Mrs. Hayes, obtained by the reporter of the Whiteville News-Reporter on yes terday: Xrs. Hayes Talks. "Mrs. Hayes; having refused to talk to the News-Reporter editor, our lady reporter called at the jail Monday morning and through the kindness of Mrs. Spivey was at once shown in ,L.e presence of Mrs. Hayes. She greet ed us cordialiy and asked us to be seated. "Mrs. Hayes at lonce entered into eonversation. She seemed to be very sad and 'her first question was, if the Floyds had come? Mrs. Hayes readily answered any question asked her and always looked you straight in the face in talking. "She said the unfortunate affair seemed like a horrible dream to her; . that a week before .the tragedy occur red she had a similar dream, in which she dreamed she had killed Robert Floyd, and the fact that she had killed him seemed a dream, she said. Mrs. Hayes said she was so wrought up at the -time she was shooting that she did not realize at the time as often as she did shoot and she earnestly hoped -that the spirit of young Floyd was in Heaven. ~Hqw Occupied. "Mrs. Hayes thanked the News-Re i,rter for the paper's fair account of hs tragedy. She appeared very lady like in her manner. She was neatly attired aid is evidently feeling the effects of her confinement. Mrs. Hayes was locked up in the women's cell of .our new jail, the only furniture in the room being a bed. There was some -'fancy work on the bed, that she had been doing. "lu answer to an inquiry Mrs. Hay es s:dd that after shooting Mr. Floyd he called her name, "Rose," twice, and v/hen he advanced upon her after the first shot she became frightened and fired repeatedly. 'The young woman does not seem to be conscious of the fact that the Scharge of mur'ier is hanging over her head. "The writer told Mrs. Hayes 'how deeply we heard 'her mother was af facted at Mr. Flovd's d]eth. S,e said A her mother and father both thought a great deal of Robert Floyd; that he ,had spent several nights at their "home, and they knew him 'well. She said the IPabpr people had not begun to visit her td amount to anything and she did not think they liked her. "She said that Charleston minister who wrote that letter to the News-Re p orter did not know Robert Floyd's heart or what was in it; that only *God knows that. "Mrs. Hayes says she is only 17 years old, and not 22, as some of the newspapers had it. She is a blonde, * with medium light hair, and very pret ty slate-blue eyes. Mrs. Hayes vehe mently denied the published state ment that she has thin lips, her lips being snedium. Her language was good and her manners very ladylike. When the writer left she got up and escorted him to the door of the pris on. 'Mrs. Hayes said she heard the people of Tabor were very bitterly ar rayed against her, but she 'hoped she liad a few friends in Whiteville. . Religious Services at Jail. "Last Sunday afternoon the Revs. J. J. Adams and Charles C. Smith, Baptist ministers of Whitevilli', con ducted religious servrees in the jai!, preaching to and praying with the prisoners. Both ministers urged up on th'ir hearers to tell the truth and~ repent of their sins. Some fifty of , - our citizens5, including a number of Christian women, were present.

During the services Mrs. Hayes stood in her cell doQr, which was open, and had her boy baby in her arms. She is certai.ly a devoted mother, as shown by the looks of en dearment she bestowed on her child. Mrs Hayes looked very sad and hex face shows that confinemeLt and anx iety are telling on her. The ladies present talked to her after the ser vices, and she was very courteous. She did not discuss the tragedy, but talked about her baby. "Before >leaving Mr. Adamns pre sented,each prisoner with a New Tes tament, and told them to study the sacred Book, and it would do them good. Several of the prisoners asked the ministers to pray for them,-Neal ~and Lloyd Hayes 'amongs the number. The scene was a. very solemn and im pressive one. The Death-Dealing Pistols. "Last Monday Coroner Mills show ed the News-Reporter the pistols used by Mrs. Hayes. One is a cheap five barrel affair, and which was the gun the woman went back into her room to get after young Floyd was down in the door. Tfie other is a nine-shooter automatic pistol, that fires a -steel clad bullet, and is a deadly looking weapon. "Coroner Mills said both pistols were found empty after the tragedy, and the supposition is that Mrs. Hayes fired fourteen shots at and into Rob-i ert Floyd. The father of young Floyd~ stated to the editor of this paper that; he counted fifteen bullet boles in hisi son's overcoat that he had on at the time of the tragedy. The Messrs. Floyd came in Monday to look after the prosecation of the ease." BLEASE NAMES 2 MAGISTRATES.1 Not Nominees of Majority of Green wood Delegation, However. Greenwood, February 28.-The local magisterial situation, which has bean in a somewhat unsettled state, has ben clarified by the announee ment of the appointment of Mr. J. W. Canfield as magistrate 'at Greenwood. Judge W. H. Kerr is magistrate now or was. Judge Kerr was recommend ed 'for reappointmTnt by three out of the four members of the delegation, Senator Wailer, the Hon. W. H. Nich olson and the Hon. J. W. Bowers, an these three recommended the reap pointment of all the other magistrates in the county. The Hon. D. H. Ma gill, the other member of the delega tion, joined in the recommendation for the reappointment'of all the mag istrates in the county with the ex ceptio-n of the one at Ninety Six andi the one at Greenwood. He states that the governor told 'him he would not reappoint Capt. Jas. Rogers as mag istrate at Ninet,y Six, nor Judge W. H. Kerr as madstrate at Greenwood, so he knew it would be useless to recom mend them. He recommended Mr. J. W. Wilson as magistrate at Ninety Six, who, was appointed, and he recoin mended Dr. B. W. Cobb for the Green wood place. Mr. J. W. Canfield re ceived the commission as magistrate here thisomorning and this settles thel matter. In regard to the rural police ap pointments, Messrs.
