A DESPERATE BLUFF.
Deaf and Dumb Man Unwittingly
Saves a NJurderer's Life.

Saves a NJurderer's Life.
Sylvania, Ca, March 22.-Some years
ago, in a little village in Middle Georgia,
the case of the state against John Grif-
fin, charged with the murder of Wiley
Banks, was called up in the superior
court, and no trial in the history of the
county ever created so much excitement.
Interest in the case was intense and uni
versal. Both men were well-known and
were prosperous and well-to-do farmers.
Everybody believed it was a case of cold
blooded murder and a speedy conviction
was looked for. Griffin and Banks were
neighbors and a feud of several years
standing had existed between them. One
day. at a large picnic, when several hum
bred people were standing around, Grif-
fin walked up behind Banks, as the latter
was going TO his buggy, and shot him
down without the slightest warning. y
number of people saw the deed commit
ted, and as Banks was making no demon
stration az the time, but was, in fact,
walking away. all unconscious of the en-
envy on his track, it was impossible to
conceive Of any legal defence that the
accused man could put up in eNtenua-
ton of his crime.
Griffin had employed a shrewd and able
lawyer from a neighboring city to defend
him, but still this seemed to be a case in
which neither elOquence nor ability could
play any part. The facts were undenied
and undeniable, and proved plain case
of murder. Ii was either that or nothing.
Banks had lived just across the line in
the adjoining county from Griffin, but the
picnic was held and the murder done in
the county of the latter's abode; and 1t
was there, of course, that the case was
tried The feeling was very strong
against the prisoner, and he had few SYM
pathizers among the people OF his own
county.
eager throng when the case was called
on wednesday morning. The state was
ready and anxious for trial, and the de-
fendant's counsel also announced ready.
Griffin sat by the side of his lawyer, and
near them. at the table, sat small man
with a brown moustache, who seemed TO
be a stranger to the people present. Some
said he was a lawyer, and others a Ste
nographer. However, the selection Of a
furv dragged on and was at last complet-
ed; and then the state proceeded to make
ont its case A number OF witnesses were
nut up. all OF whom swore to the same
thine-that the defendant shot Banks In
the back while he was walking away.
Altogether, the outlook was dark for
Griffin.
When the state rested. the defendants
counsel stated that they would put w
no witnesses. but the prisoner would sim
| ply make his statement TO the jury,
| Griffin then went to the stand He be-
gan by SAYING that he aud Banks had
! had "a quarrel a year OF two prior to the
shooting and that Banks, from that day
had continued to breathe out curses and
threats against him. James Gray a
friend and neighbor Of Banks, had come
20 him. ne said and told him of the threats
that Banks had made against him. and
warned him TO keep out OF the way as
| much as he could.
The prisoner went on TO say that Gray
