and Testimony Excited
kcenest Interest.

MARYVILLE, MO, Oct. 12.-(Special) c.
G. Jesse. who is on trial charged with hav-
ing murdered Editor Frank Griffin, last
April, was put on the stand in his own
defense to-day. He had made no state
mcnt since the killing and his evidence
was awaited with intense interest. He
admitted that he had sold liquor contrary
10 law at his drug store. He said that
shortly after he came TO Maryville, three
years ago, Griffin asked him for money.
saying that he, Griffin, was in a position
10 do the defendant damage with his paper,
and that from this time he gave the de-
ceased SO a month until the latter raised
his demand to so. He protested. but be-
gan paying $50 4 month and continued TO
do so until his drug store was destroyed
by fire, early last April. After the fire
he went to ST. Joseph. but he came back
TO Maryville in a short time broke ac-
cording to his statement TO such an ex-
tent that he mortgaged his household fur
niture and pawned his wife's diamonds to
raise money. Shortly after his return, the
witness said, Griffin approached him and
ness again and demanded more money.
Jesse says he protested that he could not
give it and then it was that Griffin at
tackled him in his paper.
Finally. he said on the morning Of the
killing. Griffin sought another interview
with him and threatened to publish an ar
ticle defamatory of his daughter unless
he gave him so or s1co They had hot
words in which Jesse says he threatened
the editor with violence If he carried out
his declared purpose. They then separated.
Jesse says he went home and found his
wife in tears with Griffin's paper on her
lap. He got his pistol with the purpose of
self-destruction, but afterward meeting
Griffin on the street and being blinded by
rage and dependency, before he realized
what he was doing. he shot him down.
Several witnesses, among them ex-Circuit

reputation of being a blackmailer. 1t was
also shown by the circuit court records
