l'ayne, Amaritlo lawyer, tonight #?s
awaiting punishment for the murder
of his wife and maiming of his nineyear-old
son with a dynamite bomb
in the family motor car June 27. He
signed a 03-page confession today.
He pleaded that the punishment,
preferably death in the electric chair,
be expedited. He renounced insanity
in making his confession.
"1 am not insane," he said. "I am
just abnormal. I knew I was committing
murder and am not trying to
,dodge the 'penalty now."
Edward W, Thomerson, district attorney,
said the case probably would
be presented to a grand jury August
26th.
Payne, detailing a series of plots
covering 18 months to kill his wife so
she would not learn he was "tho
meanest man op eartjh," suid he was
"not" sorry for the murder. He said
he feared Mrs. Payne would learn of
his financial losses and his relations
with Verona Thompson, his stenographer.
"If I had it to do over," he said,
"I would do the same thing again."
"Don't you feel relieved? Isn't
your conscience easier?" he was asked.
"No," Payne replied, "I feel just
the same as I did when I was planning
to kill them.
"I have only one regret; I am
sorry the blast that killed Mrs.
Payne did not blow Junior to his
death."
Payne said he had hoped to take
his own life and told what officers
regarded as a far-fetched plan to
"blow up" himself with dynamite.

Route No. 26 between Lancaster an4
Kershaw will have to detour via No.

graded between Heath Springs and
Kershaw. Mr. Steve Williams, district
road supervisor says that within
a couple of days a new detour
from Pleasant Hill to Kershaw will
be provided so that tourists will not
have to leave Lancaster via No. 9.
