GRIFFIN FOUND mot GUILTY. .

Calvin Griffin who was tried in the
Josephine Circuit court last week,
charged with the murder of Edwin
johnson, was acquitted and is once
again free man, after being con-
fined in Jail but one week. Never
before has a criminal case been con-
cluded in so brief time from the
committing of the deed as was this
one. In less than two weeks from
the time of the trag edy, Griffin was
tried and received verdict from the
jury.
The - men who composed the jury
for the trial of Griffin were, Joseph
McCaslin, Joe Hiatt, Geo. B. Archer,
W. l. Sweetland, Fred. Knox, H.
Hubert, John Pool, Z. G. Neely, A.
A. Porter, W. c. Fry, wm. Frakes
and W. r. Nipper.
The jury went out about l2 O'Clock
Saturday and were out about three
hours. Five ballots were necessary
to reach an agreement In the first
two ballots ten were in favor of
acquittal and two manslaughter lin the
third and fourth ballot II were in
favor of acquittal and one man
slaughter. In the fifth ballot all voted
for acquittal.
The verdict rendered seems to be
satisfactory so far as public opinion
is concerned and all feel that the jury
did their duty,
Attorney Robert G. Smith ably de-
Tended Griffin, while District Attor-
ney Reames prosecuted the case.
Many witnesses were called both for
the defense and for the state. The
testimony of the witnesses proved
conolusively that Griffin was provoked
into the quarrel that led to the
tragedy. The character of the two
men carried much weight in the rem
dering of the verdict. Griffin is a
fNAN't N"og RpAhS man MliO tNttuus
strictly to his own business and talks
but little. On the other hand, John
son, when he was drunk at least, was
of quarrelsome disposition. Several
witnesses testified that under such
conditions, Johnson was terror "
His sole ambition seemed to be
centered in the one idea of picking
fight
On the evening of the tragedy John
son was very drunk and was making
things uncomfortable for everyone
about the Waldo hotel. He kicked
over dishes and upset things in general.
He paid no heed to the requests of
several to behave himself and was
finally elected from the room by Grif-
fin and companion. During this
proceeding johnson slapped Griffin in
the face and il was then that Griffin
grew angry and went away-presum-
ably to get his revolver-at least the
testimony presented in court would
indicate this When Griffin returned
johnson resumed his quarrel and in "A
few moments was dealing Griffin hard
and rapid blows in the face. Mad
dened to frenzy by this treatment,
Griffin drew his revolver and fired.
This part of the tragedy, which might
have gone bad for Griffin, was weighed
in his favor from the fact of the testi-
mony presented by eye witnesses prov
ing that he was backing away from
johnson when he fired the fatal shots.
All in all, the case was a dirty one
at best, and all concerned are glad
that it is over, and the less frequently
such affairs occur the better will it
be for the society of Josephine county
in general.
