BY the Associated Press.
s BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Dec. A
Jury Of Monroe County farmers and
laborers heard closing arguments to-
day before retiring to decide the
fate Of Mrs. Caroline g. Payne, As,
former business manager of a
Bloomington newspaper, charged
with first-degree murder in the slay-
ing of Charles o. Mattingly, Al,
attorney-examiner for the Indiana
Public Service Commission.
Il The State has accused the widow
of State Senator Earl Payne of firing
1--WE shots into Mr. Mattingly's body
as he and his wife ate a midnight
lunch at the home Of friends here
on July S, 194l. Tried last spring,
Mrs. Payne was returned to the
Monroe County Jail when the jury
disagreed.
i Defense Attorney j. Frank
REGISTER was to conclude a summa-
tion begun yesterday by Q. Austin
East, while Prosecutor Sylvan Tackitt
was to follow, adding to Introductory
remarks made yesterday by Deputy
Prosecutor Harren Young.
s Insanity Question Raised.
> Discussing the question of the de-
PENDANTS mental health (she has
pleaded not guilty and not guilty
because Of temporary insanity, Mr.
Young stated that 'if the lack of
will power is the result of diseased
state of mind, there is mental un-
soundness within the meaning of
the law; but If the will is. simply
overborne by ungoverned passion
there may be criminal responsible
tty.-
Mr.. Young said the defendants
actions on the night of the Staying
were unusual, but he pointed out
that her behavior indicated insanity
only If 1t was to no purpose.
He told the jury Mrs. Payne ac-
eomplished what she wanted In a
very efficient manner" After Mr..
Mattingly had left her, Mr.. Young
said, "she, who never learned she
couldn't always have her own way,
decided that If life could not be
lived the way she planned it, it
would not be lived at all. So she
smashed it down."
Defense Attorney East sketched
his client as successful business
woman who heaped benevolence on
Mr.. Mattingly "She fed him, she
clothed him, she loved him." Mr..
East declared.
8 Comments on Wife.
" He brought into his summation
Mr.. Mattingly's widow, the former
Lurayne Oberholtzer, Mr.. Mating
ly's secretary before their marriage.
Mr.. Mattingly thought Miss
Oberholzer could take the place of
Caroline Payne, who was sick, who
was failing in health and who was
failing In mind" Mr.. East asserted.
Although he admitted Mrs. Payne
was near the scene of the Staying,
Mr.. East termed States evidence
circumstantial. He said the sill of a
window through which Mr.. Mat
tingly was shot was 6 feet above
ground. but bullet marks in Mr..
Mattingly's chair were IA inches
above the sill, and that the defend
ant, because Of injuries suffered in
an automobile accident, was unable
to raise her arm above her shoulder.

AFL Pres ident William Green and CTO Pres ident Philip Murray can be expected to nominate Tobin again.
 There was no doubt that Ickes had been offered the post of Sec- retary of Labor, along with direc- tion of the manpower program. He refused and Mir. Roosevelt made him Petroleum Administrator for War yesterday, vesting in him new responsibilities over motor and heating fuel supplies. It was under stood that this was in lieu of the labor post.
 The fate Of the present Labor Secretary. Frances Perkins. was not clear in the light of yesterdays events which upset reported plans for Ickes to take the labor post, Miss Perkins to become Federal Security Administrator, anc Man. power Commissioner Paul V.
