By timing his death after mid- night, Payne made sure that his children would be paid the insur- ance money.

He had concealed nitro-glycerine in a phial attached to a string round his neck; and he touched it off by contact with electric light wires........

The cell was wrecked by the ex- plosion, but no other Inmates of the gaol were hurt. Payne had been indicted for wife murder the previous day. His confession in- cluded a statement that he had made four previous attempts to kill her.

He left a farewell letter asking that Home Sweet Home, should be sung at his funeral, as he was a direct descendant of John. Howard the Payne, the actor, who wrote words of the famous song.

It was Payne's awn would-be cleverness that, led to his arrest and suicide, for when the mystery of his wife's death seemed in- solublo he asked an old friend to investigate it with too-successful results.

Mrs. Payne was driving through a street in Amarillo (Texas) when

explosion ivrecked the motor-car, killing her and seriously wounding, her son. Soon afterwards, when the' police had failed to discover any clue to the crime, Payne, who was a law- yer in Amarillo, offered a reward of £1,000 for the discovery of the murderer.

یا

Some months later Payne asked one of his best friends, Mr. E. Howe, a newspaper editor, to help in the hunt.

Mr. Howe followed his own. line of investigation. He discovered a "woman in the case," who told him that Payne had made love to heri and promised to marry her "when I've taken care of my wife.”

Insurance Policies.

Ile also discovered that shortlyi before the fatal explosion Payne had taken out insurance policies for £6,000, on his wife's life, £2,000 on that of the son who so narrow- ly missed death, and £1,000 on the life of his daughter.

The letter began:-

I am a professional beggar, and have been for ten years, and am now a well-known character. From what I have learned and from my own experience, I am fully convinced that begging as a profession cannot be beaten, 'Most of us congregate at A public house which we call the Buskers Arms.
