Ml A con fessed killer heads back to Alle gheny County, Pa., Tuesday for possible prosecution of the crimes he says he committed 31 years ago. But 53-year-old Robert Lee Pay ton, a Negro businessman here, will go willingly. As he puts it. his surrender will allow him to serve his conscience and pay his debt to society and the state of Pennsylvania. For Warwick police, the story began during the usually quiet Sunday night at headquarters. Payton, flanked by two sons, walked up to the desk sergeant and said he wanted to confess the killing of two persons in a Pitts burgh suburb in 1926. Startled police checked out his story and were told by Allegheny County authorities that Payton. known since 1926 as Robert Law rence, was wanted there in fact, had been under indictment for murder and manslaughter. Payton contended it all hap pened because of a dog. He said he acted in self defense. When his common law wife separated from him in 1926, he said, she took the dog with her. Payton said he later tried to re trieve the animal and in his at tempt argued with both the woman, Alice Wolford. and her friend, Robert Burl. Payton told police she knifed him and Burl hit him. Payton said he then pulled out nis revolver and shot them both Then he hopped a freight train south. He lived and worked in a number of places, and for a 15- year period worked in a South Carolina cotton mill. During his travels he met and married the former Etruley Birts and fathered Jour children. Paylon's travels led to Newport News in 1941 and finally to War wick, where he established the Lawrence Flooring Co. with bis two sons.

Lee Ohmart (R), Salem, a member of the committee, was ill with the flu Tuesday, but Demo crats said they would let him vote by telephone. Hopes that the boggeddown special session might end this week were fading, as there was little sign of compromise. However, Speaker Pat Dooley (Dl, Portland, said he has a "feel ing that things will begin to move today." Another factor In the deadlock is the bill to restrict tne state s power to levy a property tax. The Senate passed it, 29-1. and it must clear the House Rules Committee before it can be con sidered. I However, that committee hasn't met this week, and there is no indication it plans . to meet.
