WOMAN'S STORY
OF AMURDER
Mrs, Gviiiin Recounts Her Version
oi Husband's Assassination,
A DEKOUMENT IS SPRUNG
Proseailicn Attempts to Connect the
Nasae of Family Physician With
Sensational Case,
their effort to prove a cause or
motive for the crime charged to Mrs..
Lizzie Griffin, the state's counsel 1 1-
troduced witnesses in court at Eatosi
ton, Ga., Thursday to show that back
of the tragedy which ended in the
death of J-onn Griffin was an estrange
;ment between John Griffin and his wife
caused lay the infatuation of Mrs. -Grif
.fin for another man. This man as Dr.
L. O. JffcCalla, of Eatonioa, Jo’azi Grif
fin's family physician.
All the evidence offered at this
point was wholly by ©egroes anTT hard
ly trs.st worthy.
In her statement tie the jury, Mrs.
Origin positively denied any improper
conduct toward her ion his part, and
under oath he flatly averred that he
hard never visited Griffin’s house ex
cept when sent tar and in-the capacity
of a practicing physician, or on some
business with Griffin himself.
Dr. McCalia is a .gentleman of ve
racity and htsnrar, and enjoys the re
spect and confidence-.'Of .the public.
At 10 o'clock T-nuttsday morning the
state rested its case and the defense
began the investigation iof witnesses.
The first were statements from
Sam Knowles and Mrs. Griffin.
Knowles' statement was very brief,
and’in substance, that after returning
home from work on that fatal after
noon he went .to Vhe. lot and fed the
stock. White .there his mother caMed
him to supper. After eating he retired
to another part of the house, w’here,
in company with the balance of the
family, h.e Remained /until Hulon
Knowles, Me .brother, who had just -e
--lutiied with e party from fishing, came
in and announced .the killing.
Mrs. ‘Griffin,, in substance, said that
some Jime during the Jay while she
and her husband were on the porch,
she saw “old .Tom Jackson” coming,
and remarked to Griffin that she won
dered what he .wanted; that Tom came
up .and. called Griffin out and askod
him ts» .go dawn to the swamp and
look sut .Home tracks that were trou
bling him (other evidence alleged thit
Tom was jealous of seme real or ima
ginary man’s conduct relating to nis
wife, Mat Jackson); that late that
evening, about dark, after John tir'f
fin had returned from town, they we-e
sitting la their ;room. John Griffin
had just told .her 01 hiring a big black
negro isa town to do some work .or
him, anci that she had better save sup
per for him.
That about this .time she looked in
the direction of the window through
which the shooting occurred, and saw
• on the outside, with a gun in his
hands, a tall negro man. Before she
could speak to warn her husband of
the danger the report of the gun
sounded out and John Griffin fell from
chair, immediately thereafter and
before she had time to do anything,
the second shot was fired. She ran
out of the house with her children in
her arms and at the back steps met
the man who .grabbed her and warned
her against making any noise. ’ She
begged for her life and ran screaming
to a nearby negro cabin for heip and
protection.
,When first asked if she recognized
the assassin, she said it was Tom
Jackson. When, soon afterward, her
brother Hulon Knowles, Rickerson and
others arrived on tlieir return home
from fishing and said they met Tom
Jackson down the road one-quarter
or a half-mile away, she said it mnrt
then have been the big black negro
John Griffin had hired in town that
day. She further stated that the»-e
could have been no just cause Tor her
to kill her husband, as they were on
the best of terms and had gotten along
nicely all their married life, except
some times when he would come home
under the influence of whiskey, and
that then nothing of any consequence
ever transpired that was unpleasant.

GREAT SLAUGHTER Of TURKS.
Desperate Battle Reported Wherein Six
Hundred Troops Were Killed.
According to a telegram received in
Sofia, Bulgaria, Thursday, from Kos
tendil (53 miles from Sofia) six hun

Kolichani, September 18th. The Turk
ish forces numbered 7,0fi0.
After the fight the troops, enraged

Tourists; Past and Present.
"Traveling, like novel-writing, is but
5. modern form c\ activity,” says Ag
nes Repplier in the October Lippin
eott’s; “and tourists, like novelists,
are increasing at so fearful a rate of
speed that foreign countries and li
brary shelves bid fair to be equally
overrun. There was a time when good
men looked askance both upon the
page of fable, and upon those far coun
tries where reality was stranger than
romance. ‘I was once in Italy myself,’
confesses the pious Roger Ascham;
’but thank God my abode there was
but nine days. Nine days seem a scant
allowance for Italy. Even the busi
ness-like traveler who now scampers
’more Americano’ over Europe is wont
to deal more generously with this, its
fairest land. But in Roger Ascham’s
time nine days wou.d hardly have
permitted a glimpse at the wonders
from which he so swiftly and fear
tully withdrew.”

“Feruna is a fine medicine to take any
time of the year, bat 1 have found it es
pecially helpful to withstand the wear and
tear of the hot weather. I have takeiy it
now for two summers, and feel that it has

dragged-out look which so many women
have.
“I therefore have no hesitancy in saying
that I think it is the finest tonic in the
world.”—Josephine Morris.
Feruna is frequently used as a mitiga
tion of the effects of hot weather. What a
bath is to the skin, Feruna is to the mu
cous membranes. Bathing keeps the skin
healthy, Feruna makes the mucous mem
branes clean and healthy. With the skin
and mucous membranes in good working
order, hot weather can .be withstood with
very little suffering.
Frequent bathing with an occasional use
of Feruna is sure to mitigate the horrors
of hot weather. Many ladies hirve discov
