ARRESTED FOR MURDER
Joel Payne, While Greeting Wife ant
Child, Is Taken In Charge.

Child, Ii Taken In Charge.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 25.-Joel
Payne colored, was arrested here to-
day and taken to Bedford county to
answer the charge OF murder of his
father-in-law, Reed Swain, near Davis
Mills. in that county, last February.
D. Baldwin, of Roanoke, assisted by
two local officers.
The arrest of Payne was pathetic.
He came to this city shortly after COM
hitting the crime, and got employment
at Silver Springs, a short distance out
In Maryland. Detectives located him
near Silver Springs, but could not tell
where he was employed. Payne wrote
for his wife to come to this city to see
him. and to bring his seven-year-ol old
son with her. The two came on to
Washington, reaching here last night.
Baldwin got wind ofsthe proposed trip.
and was on the train with the mother
and child The woman and her son
remained In the station all night, but
early this morning the husband joined
them. The demonstration of affection
made by the negro on meeting his wife
and child almost softened the hearts OF
the stern officers OF the law. but they
braced up. and in twinkling had the
nlppers on the murderer.
Payne does not deny the killing, but
claims that 1t was done In self-defcnse.
and says he has no fear OF not being
able to convince the jury that such
was the case. When Detective Baldwin
boarded Southern Railway train to
take his prisoner back to Virginia this
afternoon. the wife and child were with
him also.
