MANNED his nine-year-old son who
had been named for his father.
Il must be the meanest man in
the world" Mcdowell quoted Payne
as commenting after he had ac-
knowledged his part In the tragedy
that mystified officers for weeks.
Woman Praised
The accused man at the same
time had praise for the woman who,
once his private secretary. divulged
to newspapermen her affair with
the attorney and caused the strong
arm Of the law TO reach out and
restrain him.
Mrs. Verona Thompson. the for

Payne's delivery into the hands

own request, because the latest in

complained to Editor Howe that the
mysterious blast should be investi-

had not been thorough enough. II

mentioned the "unattractive' Mrs.
Thompson. Mrs. Thompson told
