HE IS H GIL CUSTOMER
Will Of Course Have To Pay
the Death Pen--
, alty
We, the jury, find the
defendant guilty.
Thos. W. Lamu.
Foreman.
Thiß Is the verdict returned ha' ‘
twelve men who were selectedWb try
the case ol Triey Griffin, the murderer
of Conductor Marlon Latimer.
The prisoner was defended by twa
able attornye, he went to trial with
every reasonable doubt on his side.
Both Judge Boling Whitfield and
Colonel E. E, Dart made excellent
arguments before the jury; they fought
every loch of ground but facts and evi
dence were stronger than ability, The
state’s web was around Griffin after tha
examination of a half dozen witnesses
and it could not be broken. He
has had a fair and impartial trial, found
guilty and ha will now Uuve to pay the
penalty ot death. All of yesterday was
consumed In the trial of this case and
the farther it got, the works it looked
for tbe murderer.
His own witnesses and bis own color,
told the truth ntjd he stands on the
threshold o' the sr-tlJow'.
But the nerve ol this negro is noth-,
mg short of wonderful. A minute be
fore the verdict wa read he sat With
his arms folded, a smile oi his-fr.co.and
eyen after tbe solutnu wordo of the ju-y
were read he laughed and joked with a.
person near him.
After the yerdict had been read Judge
Becnel announced that be would aen
tence the prisoner today,
The straight verdict of murder will of
courso mean hanging. This will roaka
the seventh man Judge Bennett has eea
tenced to die einoe he was olectud judge
something over two years ago, and
strange to say, not one of thin cumber
haa carried a case to the Supreme court
in fact ail have paid the dra'h penalty.
