This photograph is likely related to the article, "Payne Goes to Hospital for Insane," Los Angeles Times, 2 Feb 1935: 13. In early June, 1934, police officers discovered the bodies of Carrie L. Payne, 45, and Robert Payne, 15, at their Westwood home. They had been brutally murdered by Louis R. Payne, their respective son and brother, in late May. Payne was arrested several days after he committed the crime and after confessing at a Huntington Beach police station. In January, 1935 he plead insanity and was sent to a sanitarium. Clem Peoples (left) interacts with Louis R. Payne (right) at a visiting room in jail. Other convicts are seen in the background. A calendar on the wall marks the date as February, 1935, close to Payne's insanity trial. Text from negative sleeve: Payne, Louis R. Murder Case Handwritten on negative: L to R Clem Peoples, Louis R.
