CUNNINGHAM Rachel (SRGP 18806)
Wellsboro Agitator, March 4, 1903, p.9 - The Payne Murder - Suspicion Still
Rests on the Tramp - Reward of $1,000 Offered - How the Crime was Probably
Committed. The murderer of Mrs. George W. Payne is still at large, and
beyond the knowledge that he visited a clothing store at Binghamton, NY,
purchased a new suit and left his old clothes in an ash barrel, no trace of him
has been discovered. It is still the general belief that the tramp who passed as
Edward Myers was the person who perpetrated the fiendish crime. A reward of
$1,000 is offered for the capture and conviction of the murderer, and of this
amount the County Commissioners agree to pay $700, John L. Cunningham, brother
of the victim, $200, and George W. Payne, her husband, $100. Officers all over
the country are on the alert, but up to this time no further clue has been
found. With great cunning the murderer has been able to cover his trail and it
may be that he will be able to get out of the country; but, as often happens,
the identity of the guilty person may be revealed from the most unexpected
quarter and by the merest accident. The funeral of Mrs. Payne on Thursday
afternoon was attended by 1,200 to 1,500 people, and the Alder Run church was
much too small to accommodate the congregation. There was a short service at the
Payne home conducted by Rev. Paul Smith. The long procession then followed the
remains to the Methodist church at Alder Run, where Mrs. Payne had been such an
earnest worker for many years. There the service was conducted by Rev. Charles
L. Shergur, a former pastor. The service was very impressive and affecting. At
the close the people were permitted to view the remains of the murdered woman
and it required nearly an hour for them to pass the open casket. The burial was
made in the Alder Run cemetery. The member of the GAR and Odd Fellows' Lodge
turned out with full ranks and the members of Mitchell's Mills Grange of which
Mrs. Payne was a member, conducted the services in the cemetery. The floral
offerings were very beautiful. The tragic crime is the subject of
conversation and speculation all over the country, but in Jackson township the
friends and neighbors of Mrs. Rachel Payne are shocked beyond measure over the
dreadful deed which took from her pleasant home and a happy and quiet
neighborhood a useful woman who was respected and loved for her intelligence,
her activity in church work, neighborly kindness and faithfulness in home life.
Verily, the ways of Providence are beyond comprehension. Mrs. Payne's fate is
one of the saddest which can be imagined and the crime the most fiendish in all
our local history. Various theories have been advanced relative to this
mysterious crime. The incidents between the time when Mrs. Payne returned home
and the hour when her mutilated body was found in the barn will never be known
unless her murderer is captured and he chooses to make a full confession. The
reasonable probabilities, however, are that as soon as the tramp, Myers, learned
that there was money in the house he made up his mind to get it if he had to
commit murder. First he went up to the upper barn and whittled out two big
clubs. One of these he placed near the rear door so that he could intercept
anyone coming from that side and the other he placed in the alley near the
stalls so that he could fell a person coming around that way. Then he got a big
canthook and placed it within easy reach of the rear door. He had heard Mrs.
Payne say she was going to care for one of the cows in the big barn after her
husband should go to Elmira, and perhaps he expected to meet her there. Probably
he was hiding in the hay loft that morning when Mr. Payne thought he had run
off. When he saw Mrs. Payne drive off to Jackson Summit he left the big barn and
came down to the house. The doors were locked, so he placed his knee against the
rear door and forced it in. The dog had become friendly with him, so he had no
trouble with it. After ransacking the house and not finding any money, he waited
in the house and watched from the kitchen window for Mrs. Payne's return. When
she came back, about 9:30 o'clock, and turned the horse loose, she probably went
into the little barn to get some corn for the chickens. Then the fellow pulled
the kitchen door shut, locking the dog in, and ran to that barn, where he
overtook Mrs. Payne near the corn box. He demanded that she tell where the money
was hidden, and she refused. Then he picked up a fork and hit her. She tried to
defend herself, but after repeated blows told him that she had between $90 and
$100 wrapped up in a handkerchief in Myrtle's room, upstairs. Then he went in
and found the money. He did not ransack that room. Mr. Payne on Thursday morning
gave the following account of what occurred before he left home Tuesday morning
and his conclusions about the murder of his wife: "Early Monday morning I told
Myers to go out to the barn, and hitch up the horses to the load of straw that I
intended taking to Elmira. As it was not yet daylight, he took the lantern with
him, and went to the barn. I waited for him to return, and as he seemed to
remain longer than was necessary. I said to my wife: 'I wonder what is keeping
Myers? He had been gone long enough to hitch up a half dozen teams.' She said:
He is probably like all the rest of them; gave you the slip.' I went to the
barn, and found the door, that should have been opened, fastened on the inside,
by a hook. I went around the back way, and entered the barn by the back door,
and found the lantern hanging on a nail, lighted, but Myers was nowhere to be
seen. I went out and looked around the fields to see if I could discover his
tracks to see which way he went, but could see none. I returned to the barn and
hitched up the team myself and drove off to Elmira, supposing that Myers had
skipped out. I am now satisfied in the belief that he had secreted himself in
the barn, awaiting my departure, as he had become aware of the fact that there
was money in the house, because of a conversation that I had with my wife the
evening before. She had received a check from Elmira that morning for something
over $6, and she said: 'As you are going down to Elmira in the morning you had
better take that check, and have it cashed at the bank, and bring it back to
me.' I told her my business would not take me to the bank, and she had better
put it along with the other money in the house, and when she went down to Elmira
next week she could take it all along and place it in the bank. This
conversation occurred in Myers's presence, and that is how he became aware of
the fact that there was money in the house. He had been working for me but three
days, and on the second day, in conversation with him, he said to me that he
wished he had money enough to get to New York, as he wanted to go back to
Germany, as he had not seen his folks in thirteen years. He said if he reached
New York he could work his passage across on the steamer, working as a fireman
or stoker, or hide on the vessel as a stowaway. He did not have a cent of money,
and the only thing we saw about him was a razor. My wife told him it was against
the law to carry that, as it was a deadly weapon, and he said he only had it for
shaving purposes. I noticed that he had a habit of listening to all the
conversation that occurred between myself and wife, but I gave no particular
attention to that. We have discovered, on looking over the house, that when he
left he took a new hat of mine, my wife's wedding ring, a watch chain of mine,
and a ring the belonged to my daughter, as well as my gold cuff and collar
buttons. I also missed a pair of pantaloons, and yesterday ---- Beeman, who
lives some two miles from here towards Elmira, brought them to me. He found them
in a hog pen on his premises, where Myers went, and from appearances, tried them
on, and for some reason took them off, and left them. His tracks were found
leading from the pig pen up through the field to the railroad track. A pair of
mittens that he wore while working about the barn, were found under the railroad
trestle, where he had thrown them. I am of the opinion that when he saw my wife
drive down to the station, he went up into the house, breaking in the door, as
my wife locked it when she went out after I had started for Elmira. Knowing that
she would return and go to the barn and feed the sheep, he laid in wait for her
to return. When she did return and go to feed the sheep, she was attacked and
assaulted by the scoundrel, and as she must have made a strong resistance for
her honor and life, he was forced to knock her into insensibility to accomplish
his hellish purpose. He certainly must bear some marks from the deadly struggle,
as will be shown in case he is speedily captured." Edward Myers, the farm
hand who disappeared on Monday morning and who is believed to be the murderer,
was in Binghamton on Tuesday morning at 7:30 o'clock, and purchased an entire
new outfit of clothing, leaving his old garments behind. He told the clothier
that he came from Horseheads and had been riding all night. His appearance would
indicate that he had been riding a long distance on a freight train, as his face
and hands were grimy with the dust of railroad travel. He claimed that he was en
route for Sidney, Delaware county, NY, and walked away in the direction of the
D& H railroad yards. The storekeepers who sold him the goods had not yet heard
of the murder and had no suspicions of the stranger. He paid for the goods from
a roll of bills, mostly of $10 denomination. Myers's castoff garments were later
picked out of an ash pile and sent to Elmira and Chief of Police Cassada sent
for Mr. Payne to identify them. This Mr. Payne was able to do beyond a doubt. He
promptly identified the garments worn by Myers on the morning of the murder.
Different articles of wearing apparel were recognized as belonging to Myers by
several of the farmers present. The only garment which there was any question
about was the vest, but one farmer said that Myers had this vest on when he was
at his house. There was no blood on any of the garments, but no article of dress
which Myers is known to have worn on Monday morning was missing. Even his gloves
were there. The clothes were repacked an will be sent to District Attorney
Rockwell, if Myers is captured. "How did Myers get to Binghamton?", has been
asked. His own story is that he went there on a freight train and he probably
told the truth, and he boarded the train in the outskirts of Elmira nearly to
which city he has been traced from Jackson. Sheriff Frank VanDusen and District
Attorney Rockwell have circulated a large number of posters offering $1,000
reward for the capture of Mrs. Payne's murderer, supposed to be Edward Myers.
The description of Myers is given as follows, his dress being in accordance with
his supposed appearance after leaving the Binghamton clothing store: German,
five feet six or seven inches tall, from 23 to 30 years of age, dark complexion,
dark hair, weight 150 to 160 pounds; small sandy moustache, which he may have
shaved off, eyes squint from weakness and, therefore, he sometimes wears
glasses; has a peculiar protuberant or projecting forehead; thick, sensual
looking lips, the under one of which hangs down over the jaw. He has an
impediment in his speech. Can talk and understand German. Has also been known by
the name of Edward Miller, He is a tramp by nature and rides on freight trains
mostly, works at times as a farm hand and is a reputed thief. When last seen he
was dressed as follows: Wore a new blue serge suit, sack coat, coat, trousers
and vest being of the same material; new Oxford gray raglan overcoat of cheap
material, and underclothing of the 50-cent quality. He wore a new tourist soft
felt hat and a new four-in-hand necktie, green in color, with a red stripe. He
is said to walk with a swaggering gait. Had on patent leather shoes, No. 8 size,
and marked on the inside "40". It is believed he can wear No. 6 or 7
comfortably. Supposed to have had $100 in money when he left Trowbridge;
exhibited a roll of bills at Binghamton February 24, mostly $10 bills; said he
was on his way to Sidney, NY. He also said that he was going back to Germany and
may seek passage at any Atlantic port. Was last seen at Binghamton February 24,
at 7:30 a.m. walking in the direction of the Delaware & Hudson railroad yards.
Suspected persons, supposed to answer this description, have been detained at
Salamanca, NY, Scranton and in Albany county, NY, but so far Myers has been able
to elude the officers. But he is liable to take a false step and be apprehended
at any moment. Whoever the murderer is, if he is in his right mind, and has
intellect enough to appreciate the brutality, fiendishness and cruelty of his
crime, he must since that hour be suffering the torments of the damned.

District Attorney Emory Rockwell has been notified that the man held by state
officers and suspected to be Myers, alias Trionkle, the murderer of Mrs. George
Payne, of Jackson township, on February 23, 1902, was wrongly identified.
