At the time of his death, the Inianapolis man, handsome and hestnut haired, was attorneyxaminer for the Indiana Public rvice Commission, Reportedly, he received this post ough string ‘pulling by Mrs. ayne, his sweetheart’ over blissful eriod dating. from his entrance in 1923 to Indiana University - as an bitious but f£nanciallyr hamstrung law student. Mrs. Payne has reiterated many 3s that “I helped (her pet e for Mattingly) over the early bumps and gave him a start.” Relations between Mrs. Payne d Mattingly cooled suddenly in 1 139 under circumstances which are | unclear. Mattingly, who had n living: at Mrs. Payne's imposhome in Bloomington, moved Indianapolis. A few months later, he married quiet, dark-eyed Lurayne ‘Oberholtzer, who served as secretary.

Nickas, his wife and-his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Harry Nickas, were grouped about a kitchen table. Shortly before he died 45 minutes later at Bloomington Hospital, Mattingly gasped to Monroe County Coroner R. A. DeMotte: “She shot me—Carolyn Payne.”
Guns Given to Police
Mrs. Payne was arrested almost! (mmediately. While she was ‘being questioned at headquarters, a niece, Mrs. Myrtle Forth Henderson, who lived at Mrs. Payne's home, turned over to authorities two guns which
Each gun was a highly polished, blue barreled Colt Automatic with embossed wooden handle plates. One fired .32 caliber bullets, the other .380. According to Police Chief ‘John Rawlins, subsequent ballistics tests conducted by Robert Borkenstein, head of the Indiana State Police Laboratory at Indianapolis, established definitely that the .380 Colt Automatic had fired the bullets kliling Mattingly. Rawlins maintained also that

Chief Outlines Evidence On the morning after the shooting, the chief announced to reporters that: (1) Gerald Carr, a taxi driver, had identified Mrs. ‘Payne as the fare he had hauled to . Brown's Kitchen, a few yards south of the Nickas home, at approximately
shooting. (2) Joe Fagan, the Nickas’ next door neighbor, identified Mrs. Payne as the woman who emerged from the darkened narrow yard between his home and Nickas’ shortly after the shooting. (3) Carr said that he had been called “sometime ‘around 10 o'clock” to pick. up a woman fare at the Texsaco Alling station at ‘Second and Walnut Sts, a block and a half north of the shooting scene. That woman, Carr said, was Mrs. Payne. Prosecutor Floyd F. Cook gave the first intimation of the State's case when he divulged the contents of twd letters taken from a packet of 100 which Mrs, Payne carried in her pocketbook. In one of the letters, written by Mattingly in 1928, he addressed Mrs. Payne as “my pretty peacock” and concluded a series of endearing remarks with, “It sure makes me happy to know that I will soon have a home with you in it. It sure en. courages me to know that you will be the sweetest wife and mother in the world.” “Dear Payne” ther letter under date of , 1939, Mattingly addressed

ARMY ENGINEER TELLS OF SPEED
Red Tape Eliminated and Will Help Win War, Contractors Told.
Teamwork of all Americans—ci|vilians as well as men in the armed
services — will win the war, Maj. /Gen. Eugene Reybold, chief of Army engineers, told the 23d annual con-
vention of the Associated General
of Contractors today.
Gen. Reybold spoke at the open-
ing session of the three-day convention at the Claypool.
“The military situation at the mo-
ment is not so good,” he observed. “Alt
ugh the situation may be serious,\in the long range it is full of hope. It is full of hope because the indomitable spirit of the men in those immortal foxholes of Bataan is being matched by the spirit of an aroused and awakened America. Foe Seeks Cheap Victory ° “Our enemies have played for the quick and cheap victory. Failing to attain that—and they have failed— they can face only ultimate defeat, be their transient victories what they. may.” The vastness of the war construction program il America was described by the general. The cost of the program aggregates six billion dollars and 56 per cent of this has already been completed, he said. Workers engaged in the construction program total near 1,000,000 men, he said. “This army of employees—and it really is an army—is larger than you would get by combining U. S. Steel with American Telegraph & Telephone,” he added. Fight for Old Order Gen. Reybold said the nation is at war in order to preserve the “old American order.” “In a nutshell, we are fighting to preserve our country. as we know “We are fighting to maintain our national security and our spiritual heritage. We are fighting to insure material prosperity for ourselves and our children. We are fighting to preserve what might be called ‘the old American order.” A major achievement of teamwork between the Government, represented by Army engineers, and private industry, represented by contractors of the nation, was cited by ‘Gen. Reybold. Eliminates Red Tape
“We have made it possible for division engineers to execute contracts involving expenditures up to $5,000, 000 with nothing more than’ telegraphic approval from Washington,” he said. “The same thing applies
,| to district engineers for contracts|in tn
involving éxpenditures

would be unthinkable in the regi-
to our ‘old American order.’ ” William E. Mohler, general chairman of the convention, made the

a TENPO OPPOSED
Parents and Teachers of
State Against Longer Hours for Pupils.
Both parents and teachers of pupils in Indiana schools were on record today as opposing any ine tensification of the public school program for wartime training and industrial purposes. The Indiana State Teachers As‘sociation, and the Indiana of Parents and Teachers, in a joint statement, criticized suggestions to lengthen the. sclbol day or week . and eliminate proper vacation petiods for the purpose of intensifying
and. shortening the training period.
This would be a definite hazard to health, the statement said. “The necessity. for child labor on the farms and elsewhere must be considered only as an emergency measure,” the statement went on. “Blanket. dismissals of of pupils for such purposes seem wholly indefensible. It is imperative ' that children be protected. from the emotional presstire of war.” The two groups joined in other resolutions, including recommendations for the schools’ co-operation with civilian defense, revision of physical education programs, traine ing of defense workers,
