GOss On Committee
 On Military Affairs
By GEORGE II. MANNING

W dHhIlIEAbh pui D. iitIoib'
 Washington, D. C., Dec. IT. Representative Edward G. Goss Of Waterbury, has been appointed to membership in the house commit- tee on military affairs. This is the same committee on which the late Representative James r. Glynn, of Winsted Goss' predecessor served.
 The Waterbury congressman con- siders himself especially fortunate in getting this assignment, not only because military affairs is a major committee but also for the reason that although he is at the bottom of the list at present he will rank seventh at the opening of the next congress if the republicans orgau- ilc the house.
 This situation is brought about by the fact that there are d good many lame ducks" on that committee at present. It is interesting to note in that connection that Congressman Glynn was a member of the same committee five years before he ranked seventh. At the time of his death he ranked sixth.

FAMILY BOMBER
KILLS SELF

AMARILLO, Tex. Aug. 80
GN.S0 The A. .. Rayne murder
case came to a dramatic end today
when Payne took his own life in
the Potter county Jail here in a
manner identical to that which he
used to kill his pretty young wife
two months ago.
Barely II hours after he had
been indicted for blowing his wife
to bits with a charge of nitro
glycerine, Payne lay down in his
Jail cell with a quantity of the
same explosive under his body.
He was killed instantly, badly
mangled.
JaiIers At Loss
His jailers were at loss to un-
derstand how he obtained the ex.
ploSvie with which he took his life.
Yesterday afternoon he talked
with his children. Ladell and A. D.
jr., after which he collapsed and
wept. There was some difficulty
in getting him back into his cell,
After midnight, Payne asked
that he be left alone, and a group
of prisoners who had been gath
cred around him dispersed to
their hunks. A short time later
the explosion occurred. The
upper portion of Payne'S body
was badly mangled, the chest
being torn away. Death was
instantaneous.
Prisoner Stunned
One of his fellow prisoners,
who returned to Payne's side
after the rest Of the inmates had
left, was standing nearby when
the charge exploded. He was
hurled against q wall and partly
stunned, but was otherwise unin.
jured. He said that he had not
seen the explosive which came
near to taking his own life.
Payne confessed several weeks
ago that he placed a triple charge

automobile and that it took his
wife's life. She was blown to
bits and the car demolished as
she drove through an Amarillo
residential section, and her young
son was permanently crippled.
Payne, an attorney, admitted
the crime after police had OBJ

Verona Thompson, his former
secretary, in which she revealed
the lawyers infatuation. for her.
Tried Six Times

more than so typewriter pages.
