In one Of the most lurid docu-

criminal annals, A. D. Payne,
Amarillo lawyer, had confessed to,
day how, after five previous at
tempts to take his wife's life, he
finally killed her with q home

the family automobile.
During the past several months
Payne attempted to poison, as
phyxiate, drown, shoot and bomb
his wife, he revealed. Each Of his
previous plots came to naught ex-
cept one, which resulted in his
wife's finger being shot off.
Manned Wife First
On that occasion, he said, he
placed shotgun in closet in
such a manner that it would be
discharged when the door was
opened. Mrs. Payne walked into
the trap but the charge of shot,
instead Of entering her body,
struck her left hand. y:
Her death finally resulted from
the second homemade bomb he
placed in the. car. Three sticks

theater is done for" George Ber-
nard Shaw today had gratified
the long pleadings of motion pic
ture producers by consenting to
have one of his plays produced
as a "talkie."
Casting aside his shrewdly ex-
plotted prejudice against the film
world, the bearded veteran of
English drama, literature and
criticism signed his first film con-
tract with an English company,
the British International Pictures.
The play selected for production
at Elstree. England's Hollywood,
was the book he published in
1904, How He Lied to Her Hus-
band"
Wants the Money
In signing the contract with
his characteristic grimace, Shaw
reserved the right to be present
while production is in progress,
ostensibly to keep wary eye on
the filming, he admitted.
