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.

"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.” The Real Thing.
