w. Haywood was head bookkeeper at the
Michigan Malleable Iron Works and at
tended a dance at Baker hall. He was
found within 100 yards Of his home, and
had evidently been dead some hours. AS
her husband did not return during the
night Mrs. Haywood was very much
alarmed, and arising early she sent her
oldest boy, Earl, out to see II he could
find any trace of his father.
The boy had gone but a short distance
from the house when he discovered the
lfeless remains Of his father. The

An examination of Heywood's body and
clothes showed that robbery was not the
motive There was but the one wound
evidently made with heavy, blunt in
strument, as it penetrated the skull ana
left an ugly cut. Detectives arrested
William f. Jones, a roomer in Haywood
house. The two men are said to nave
quarreled frequently About seventy five
feet from where the body was found
revolver lay in the alley. The little Hey
wood hoy identified it as belonging to
Jones, and said he had seen 1t in his
room. Whether 1t could have caused the
wound is the question which the police
will fathom.
At the station Jones was examined as
to his relations with the Haywood family.
He said his home is in Lincoln, Neb.,
where he has a wife and three children.
He said he first became acquainted with
the Haywood family about five years ago,
when he went to the house one day to
mend a gasolene stove for them. He has
been boarding there since last February.
There was a freshly discharged cart
ridge in the revolver found in the alley
and said to belong to Jones. DR.. w. R.
Baker is Of the opinion that the wound
was inflicted by a revolver held at very
close range.
