Many persons who have read Hay
wards confession believe that he made
up the whole business, and that the
people he refers TO are fictitious. There
Is no question as to the truth of the
above, however. for the DR.. Haviland
he refers TO is none other than DIR. w.
II. Haviland of Butte, at present To-
Gated at Whitehall. The doctor was
In the city yesterday and read the ref
erence to himself In Hayward's state
ment and was actually surprised He
formerly lived in Minneapolis. but does
not remember ever having known Hay
ward, but he was we'll. though not in
timately acquainted with the young
lady referred to and recognized her in
stantly from the description In the con-
fession. She was a highly respectable
young woman and had an annual in
come of 81 900 to 50, 900 from some prop
erty in Fort Wayne. which had been
left her by her mother, who died some
years ago. The young woman has a
married sister living In Fort Wayne,
and her father is somewhere in the
East. She was a bright girl and had
Travelled a great deal. and at the time
referred TO by Hayward she was visit
ing In Minneapolis, where she married
several years ago. DIR. Haviland does
not doubt that Hayward spoke the
truth as to his murderous intentions
toward the young woman, and there Is
no doubt that she did SILVER when she
read his cold-blooded statement re-
garding her.
