HANGED MAN’S GHOST
REEF’S MRS. FI A FIT
FROM NOME, ALASKA
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sept. 17.
—Dread of a hanged man's ghost pre
vents Mrs. Mary E. Hart, Alaska’s
leading woman citizen, from ever re
turning to Nome.
She is a big, capable masterful
“sourdough,” who has homesteaded,
mined, broke trail and mushed in the
wildest parts of Alaska for 15 years.
Three times she has represented the
North at world’s expositions, and is
, a notable clubwoman and author.
Afraid to Tell Sory
“Until now I have always been
afraid to tell why I can never go back
to Nome,” she began. “People today
can’t credit experiences such as I am
about to relate.
“It grew out of my unwilling part
in the first legal execution in the Ter
ritory, the hanging of Fred Hardy, I
a youth convicted of murdering three
prospectors at Dutch Flat.
“I was then reporting for a Nome
paper and had been assigned to cover
the execution and try for a confes
sion from Hardy, although he steadily
maintained his innocence.
Hope For Reprieve Gone
“Having won his confidence and alh
hope for reprieve having gone, I be
lieved Hardy would admit his guilt
to me at the last if he was the mur
derer. He had but a few hours to
live when I spoke to him througn the
*'<u.s of his cell in the old Nome ice
house.
“ 'Mrs. Hart/ he said, ‘do you be
lieve in life after death; do you think
the dead can make themselves mani
fest to the living?’
“ ‘I do/ he continued, ‘and shall re
turn to tell you about death and about
the beyond—if I will be welcome.'
“ 'Yes/ I stammered with creeping
horror, ‘yes, you’ll be welcome, Fred.’
What else could I have said to a boy
about to die?”
“I was in my office writing the
story of the hanging which I had wit
nessed.
“It was quiet, and I was alone.
Haunted For Weeks
“And then Fred Hardy, whom I had
seen dashed into eternity, came back
—to haunt me for many hideous,
weeks.
“I sat rigid in my chair, unable to
move or speak. It was as though I
were being choked to death; as if 1
were undergoing what that 21-year
old youth must have experienced dur
ing his last moment. I am confident
I would have died but for an interrup
tion.
“A girl we knew as ‘Sunshine’
knocked at the door, entered, touched
me on the shoulder, shrieked ‘My God,
God, Hardy is here' and fell to the
floor, alternately fainting and hyster
ical.
“She spoke in Hardy's voice, de
scribing death torments—‘Sunshine’
who had witnessed the hanging,
speaking in Hardy’s low, peculiar
voice! It was frightful beyond
words.
“That almost lethal paralyis left
by body at the instant ‘Sunshine’
touched my shoulder, but from that
day until I left Nome I was haunted
day and nignt by that inexplicable
presence.
“I make no attempt to explain this
ghastly experience. But I shall never
return to Nome—because I am
afraid.”__
