GRAIN GOES IP
CHICAGO, Aug 8.—Active
general buying both of com and
wheat, sent prices soaring early to
uay with com leading the upwara
flight. The main incentive for pur
chasing corn was assertions current
that crop destruction wrought by
weeks of drought and heat has
reached an aggregate imparallellec
in the history of American crop dis
asters. Unexpected comparative
firmness of Liverpool wheat quota
tions today, together with adverse
crop reports from Canada, tended
to lift the wheat marekt here.
Opening unchanged to 1 l-2c
higher, corn quickly scored general
gams of more than 3 cents. Wheat
started 3-4c off to 1 5-8c up. and
later showed a decided general ad
vance.

NEW YORK. Aug 8—i/P—Cotton
opened steady at an advance of 10
points to a decline of 2 points,
nearly all the more active months
being higher in response to relative

tner pre-bureau covering.
Private reports of rams in west
Texas brought in some selling, and
after the initial buying orders had
been supplied, the market eased off
several points under realizing or li
quidation. The new O-'-'-'r sold
down to 12.82 and March to 1336.
making net declines of about 3 to 6
points on the general list.
This dip was checked by a re
newal of covering and there was a
little more buying after the posting
of the weather map which, accord
ing to some of the local traders,
showed no indication of a break in
the drouth aside from possible
showers in west Texas. At the end
of the first half hour, new October
was selling around 12 95 and March
13.39. or within « --*~t or two of
yesterdays quotations.

ATTORNEY I

(Continued from Page One)
_ ..
defense to offer when he was
brought to trial and expressed a
hope that the penalty would be ■
expedited. He emphasized that he
would not plead Insanity.
“Is this your confession?" one j
of the newspaper asked, fingering j
the many pages revealing a
hitherto unheard of scheme of
murder.
“Yes," he said.
Vtatted By Brother
Tuesday afternoon. Howe and
MacDonald presented the evidence
they had gathered to District At
torney E. W. Thomerson.
Pavne was arrested and charged
with murder. The Thompson j
woman was detained as a material
witness.
Wednesday. Payne agreed to
make a confession and began to
dictate this yesterday spending the
entire day closeted with officers in
the courthouse here.
Becoming more cheerful hourly,
as though freeing himself from a
demon, the 38-year-old Attorney,
tall, thin and somewhat stooped,
never faltered in his recital except
during the afternoon, when visited
by his brother, Sid Payne, of
Tulia. Texas.
When Sid Payne entered the
courthouse, he had seemed to en
tertain doubts as to his brother’s j
guilt, but when he emerged from
the room where the accused at
torney was dictating his confes
sion. his face was haggard and he
appeared near a nervous collapse.
’ Red" Burton. Deputy Sheriff of
Hutchinson county, who sat in the
room with Payne during most of
the day and night, said the at
torney frequently smiled and joked
and was sarcastic most of the
time, but when the dynamiting
itself was mentioned, he would
began weeping.
Boy Hears of Charge
The boy. A. D. PayAe, Jr., who
was maimed by the explosion tha:
killed Mrs. Payne, learned yester
day for the first time of the ac
i cusation against his father and
appeared greatly agitated. He
refused to believe the accusation.
Ladell, 13. eldest of the Payne
children, continued to maintain
faith in her father's innocence,
saving, *T would not believe It,
even if daddy told me It was true."
Bobbie Jean. 9. had not been ,told
of the charge.
According to officers who had
read the part of the statement
transcribed, the attorney related
that he first tried unsuccesfulJy
to poison his wife with morphine,
mixed in a tonic she was taking:
i then he tried asphyxiation with
cas in an attempted plan to kill
her and commit suicide.
Several Traps Laid
At another time, he related that
he planned to drown her in
Bishop's Lake, near Amarillo: at
another, he left a shotgun in a
clothes closet so fixed that when
his wife opened the door, the gur
would discharge. She escape* this
with a minor injury.
Then, the officers said Pavne re
lated he planted 3 sticks of dynam
ite inside the upholstery of the driv
er's seat, in his coupe, placed c sack
of grain in the rear compartment
to force the blast forward, and
arranged a fuse several feet long
which was so devised that when
the car was driven from the
jrarage. a string attachment to the
fuse would pull it in contact with
the flame of a small alcohol lamp
he had fitted into the automobile
compartment.
The first dynamite attempt was
the day before the fatal blast on
June 27. he stated, according to
officers. When his wife and daugh
ter arrived safely at his office, he
was frightened and rushed down
to the street and snuffed out the
torch.
Takes Daughter To Town
On June 27 it was agreed that j
the oldest daughter was to rt naln
at home and cook the lunch. Payne
took the younger daughter to him
and walked to town.
Mrs Payne and her son started
from home in the car. intending
to shop in preparation for leaving
on a vacation trip. They had driven
seven blocks when the blast oc
cured which strewed wreckage of
the car for blocks, dismembered
Mrs. Payne's body and maimed
the boy. The officers said °ayne
stated he had calculated the car
would go seventeen blocks before
the dynamite charge would be set
off.
Officers said he related that his
motive was to prevent his wdfe
from ever learning of his relation*
with the Thompson woman, put
his son to daeth so he would not
grow up to be like him. and after
he had arranged his business af
fairs. to conmtt suicide so his
daughters would benefit from his
insurance The two girls he des
cribed as being “as pure and good
and perfect as their mother '* Ac
cording to officers, he declared
he “lied'* to his former stenograph
er when he told her he planned
to get a divorce and marry her
although he referred to her a.«
“the sweetest woman in the world”
and said she reminded him of a
former sweetheart.
Regrets Boy’s Escape
The accused attorney expressed
concern. Burton said, over the
future welfare of his three children,
especially the two girls, and said
his “greatest sorrow” was that the
boy escaped death from the ex
plosion and was left alive and
crippled.
Officers said Payne appeared
pallid and shaken by the outpour
lng of his story, although he
talked freely and seemed to feel
no sense of crime. The probability
appeared that a preliminary hear
ing would be held Monday at
Amarillo.
