BELIEF HER SON UNsHAKEN
Mrs. Payne Recounts Her Reasons
for Thinking Him Innocent.

s'Notoing in the world will
make me believe that my son is
guilty, not even all the people of
Lake Charles" said Mrs. F. JOS
eph Payne to an American re-
porter. Although the strain of
the Batson trial has told on the
nerves of the devoted mother, the
lady still retains that calm dis
position and pleasing and oblig-
ing manner of address.
Speaking of the carpenters
union card found in the vest of
A. e. Batson, which renamed in
the buggyat Downes stable, Mrs.
Payne said that when the card
was produced during the taking
of testimony, she particularly
asked him did he really own the
supposed card. He responded:
Mother, you use the right word
when you say the supposed card,
for I dom know how 1 came by
that card than you do. No one
ever gave it to me and 1 never
had such card in my possession
at any time" She remarked
that her son never did do car
penter work and does not know
thing about the trade. The
card bears the name of "John II.
Harris Shreveport"
AS to the letters purporting to
have been written by A. e. Bat
son, Mrs. Payne said that her
son did not write it. On last
Saturday when the jury had re-
tired to it's room, Batson arose
from his seat and walked over to
the table on which the letter and
other pieces of paper including
the notice found on the front
door of Ward Earll's house, were
placed and examined the letter.
His mother joined HIM and they
looked at the letter searchingly.
She said that Ratson directed
her attention to the formation of
several letters especially the
character B. He said: "Moth-
er you know l don't make a B.
like this one" He pointed out
another letter but Mis-. Payne
fails to remember what it was.
In speaking Of the trial she
said that it was no fault of Judge
Miller if her son did not receive
fair and impartial trial. "The
Judge is nice, honest and high
minded man showed my son
every attention which the law
made provision for and possible
in the case
She spoke kindly and with
much praise of the attorneys for
the defense. They put forth
their every effort to endeavor to
clear my son said she-American.
