injury. They decided to operate to
relieve pressure on the brain and
thus restore his memory.
Those scars" Williams laughs,
"were caused by butns when l was
a child. l was never operated on"
Becomes Long. Lost Son.
Just about the time the doctors
were planning to open his skull-and
Williams was weakening fast-an
escape from the operation arrived
at the hospital in the person Of
George G. Kesling of Lewistown,
Mont, in search Of his missing son.
kcsling, who had read the newspaper
stories of the mystery Of Harold
Payton," Immediately identified the
patient as Lawrence kesling. MISS
ing since 1916.
Any escape was better than having
surgeons perform an operation on
his head, so Williams went back ,
Montana with Kesling. En- route
they stopped at various cities and
reporters wrote him up as the mys-
terry war veteran whose identity had
finally been determined.
Leaves Eenefactor
"Mr. kesling took me into his
home and treated me like his own
son." Williams explained. Later l
found out how it happened--I did
look lot like his son whom he had
not seen since 1916, when he left
home. saying he intended to join the
navy"
After living on the kesling ranch
for several months Williams decided
he would deceive his benefactor no
longer. So he left, and never re-
turned. He drifted around the
country. and finally got a job as an
electrician in New York. Recently
he came to Utica.
Williams strange story is con.
firmed by hospital records and by
photographs which were published
in the nations newspapers at the
time he was posing az the mystery
war vet. His own father, in Dallas,
has also positively identified him by
tattoo marks on his arm and by the
lifelong scars on his head.
II admit perpetrating the hoax
and am sorry for it," Williams saws
THE reason that | am telling the
truth now is that l want Mr.. Kesling
to know that l am not his son, as he
has believed, and want him to cease
worrying about me. l hope those
who read the story will excuse my
actions as the foolish prank of lad
who should have known better, but
didn't"
And the girl down in Texas, foi
whose affection Williams sought all
this notoriety? She's married te
another man now, and has family
But Williams grins when this j.
mentioned.
For he, too, is married now, and
likewise has q family.
