~ at the time. They did not live
happily and Payne was suing the
girl-wife for divorce, claiming cruelty.

ing alleged that she gave him no
peace of mind.
Mrs. Payne told the story of his
death in a straightforward manner
to-day. Since he had sued her for
divorce they continued to live in the
same house, though not rooming to-
gether. Payne was taken sick about l
o'clock Tuesday morning, she said,
after having eaten a hearty supper
Mrs. Payne claims Payne's daughter

house for several weeks, cooked the
supper, and claims she did not know

Mrs, CaStaigne hunting for medicine.

II is said Payne's property, worth
about $4,000, was split into four par
cells by his will, Ope-fourth to the
girl-wife apd one-fourth each to his
three children. Mrs. Payne said she
did not know what the will gave her,
beyond his statement made soon after
they were married that he would
provide for her as If she was his
child"
The Coroner's inquest will be held
Monday.
