Washington, D. c., Dec. IL
Associates in congress of Rep
resentative Serene E. Payne
of New York, were profoundly
shocked to learn today of his
sudden death from heart fail
u1e. He died here at such
late hour last night that few
Were apprised of the fact until
today.
Mr.. Payne died without
friend or relative near. His
body was found shortly after
II o'clock on the floor of his
apartment beside the telephone
which he had but a few mo-
ments before used to ask the
house clerk that a physician
be sent for. The coroner pro-
nounced death due to heart
failure superinduced by arterio
sclerosis and complicated with
other organic troubles.
Mr.. Payne's death removes
notable figure from the
house. He had served in that
body for more than a quarter
Of century, during which time
he had taken conspicuous
part in the framing of tariff
measures, having been recog-
nized as one of the foremost
authorities on the subject. Mr..
Payne was elected to the forty
eighth congress and was re-
turned thereafter to every con-
gress except the f1ftieth.

RUMANIANS URGED
TO ENTER THE WAR

Paris, Dec. 11.-"Any nation keep
ing out of the present, struggle COM
mits moral, political and economic
suicide" Take Jorescu, Rumanian
minister of the interior, Is thus quoted
in dispatch published by The Matin.
The quotations continues:
"The Rumanian nation, democratic
and liberal in Its culture, must not

"The statement is not true
that l killed |. w. Mellott for
money. but finally did consent
to sign the paper, saying I7did,
because I did not want to tell
the whole truth. 1t was most
ly on Ruth's account that did
not want to tell them of the
terrible outrage which Mellott
had committed, with her as the
victim. She said that she did
not want anyone to fnow Of 1t,
I still loved her and still want
ed to make her my wife and
promised her that l would not
tell the real facts In the case.
| told them that I killed him
and l did not think 1t much
mattered what cause I gave, so
when the Chicago detectives
suggested the robbery theory l
said 1t would be all right to 90
ahead and put IT down that
way. y
I'VE had stopped the car and
Ruth said for me to walk down
the road while she would talk
to Mellott about making set
tlement with us for the work
we had done for him. / did so
and after about twenty minutes
walked back to the car; Ruth
and Mellott were in the back
seat, he talking quick and fast,
and Ruth with her hair down,
was crying.
l jumped up on the running
board and said, Here what's
the matter here?' Ruth an
swered, 'Oh, he has mistreated
me, but let it CO. Just then
Mellott jumped up and said,
You --- get out of
here or I'll get you; get out Of
here I saw him reach for the
monkey wrench which was in
the front seat and / whipped
out the pistol and fired at his
face and head. He reeled back
into the rear seat and clinched
with me, hitting me several
times with the wrench. fin
ally got it away from him and
hit him over the head.
"He fell down onto the seat,
ran around and called to
Ruth who was standing down
the road a short distance and
told her we must go to He'd
rick to get doctor. We tried
to start the car several times
and once ran it up on the bank
for a short distance and down
the road again. By that time
Mellott had fallen down onto
the floor and I tried to help him
up on the seat, but could not
move him and it was then
that I first realized that I had
killed him."
Clarence Mccormick made
the above statement on the wit.
ness stand this morning in the
case in which he is being tried
for the murder of Mellott.
