HELEN PAYTON and FRANK
WRIGHT WILL HAVE TO
STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER
THEY ARE NOW in COUNTY JAIL

the trip, but Wright talked rather
freely. He admitted that he had been
intimate with Mrs. Payton for some
time before her husbands death. He
said that while nothing definite had
been decided upon, sit was his under.
standing that Mrs. Payton was going
to marry him." Wright said that he
had been travelling with snake
show" before he went to Warrington.
He had no employment while' he
boarded with the Paytons.
At Warrington there was a large
crowd at the station, and interest was
focused on the windows at which Mrs.
Paytcn sat. She bore the scrutiny
with no perceptible embarrassment.
At the Jail Saturday night Mrs. Pay.
ton attempted to get gay with Jailer
Davis. She got very lofty about the
accommodation and demanded that a
bed be put in for her as she didn't
like the idea of bunking with Sarah.
Mr.. Davis had handled two or three
of her kind before, however, and all
she accomplished was an arrival at
distinct understanding of 'just
where she was at"
The crime for which Helen Payton
and Frank Wright were arrested Sat.
urday, was committed at Warrington
July 18th, or more probably, late in
the evening of the 10th. On the morn.
ing of the 18th Payton was found dead
in bed. His wife said that he had
drunk considerable quantity of wood
alcohol and smoked pipeful of opium
before he went to bed. that he awak.
ened her about one o'clock, and that
after a half-hour of great distress he
died. She claimed at the coroner's
inquest that Payton was a habituaI
user Of both wood alcohol and
opium.
Coroner Amos deemed the circum.
stances suspicious, especially in view
of the fact that Mrs. Payton was said
to be intimate with Wright, who had
been boarding with her for two
months or SO. Another alleged fact
which influenced the coroner in max
ing an investigation. was that this
man made the fourth who had mar
ried into the notorious Phillips fam
lily to which Helen Payton belonged,
to die mysterious death, one of the
other three being this same woman's
first. husband. The coroner, accord.
ingly had Payton's stomach removed
and sent to the University at Morgan
town for analysis. The chemists re.
port came to hand Friday. 1t showed
the presence of "crude wood alcohol
and "of .strychnine in notable auanti.
ties"
The hearing-or rather the continua.
ton of the inquest postponed from
three weeks ago to-day, will probably
be held at Warrington Wednesday.
The prisoners will be taken there for
the hearing. 1t is probable that there
will be still more startling develop
ments In the case, as a certain we'll

1t is stated on good authority that the
Southern Railway company will net after
February l continue to handle the Louis
vile and Nashville passenger train that
operates from Jellico to Knoxville, the
reason being that the contract to handle
the train expires February 1. 1t is stated
that the Southern is not DESTROYS of fur

and that the refusal to further make a

A new colonists' rate to Texas and the
territories will be announced in a few
days by the railroads which handle home
seekers to the west. The new rate will be
slightly lower than the present rates,
being one-half of the one-way rate. plus

former blanket, or fiat rate, and will
therefore be based on the regular tariff.
