A Loudoun farmer shot and killed his brother Arch Payne on the family farm after long simmering tensions over shared work and a loan. Arch died in his wife Mrs Arch Payne's arms as children played nearby. Mason is charged with the crime and the families show no bitterness despite the tragedy.
Mason Payne spoke in subdued tones about his crime at the Leesburg jail admitting temper led to the shooting. He acknowledged the suffering his act will bring to his brother’s family and his own, offering little else beyond apology. His surviving family lists include numerous children and relatives, while J Forrest Manning owns the farm and resides in Washington. The piece notes driving skills and references hauntings and spirits in homes.
