GRAYSONS DISCHARGED
WOMAN TELLS OF KILLING OF HUSBANDS COUSIN.
Declares That She Thought Her Life in Danger When She Fired the Shot-State's Case
 Weak.

Athens June 12.--tSpecial) )-The pre- liminary trial of Sol Grayson and his wife. Violet. charged with the murder of Hen Christensen yesterday and consumed the entire day.
 The State failed to make out strong case against the defendants and they were d.schcrg d. Only a few witnesses were put forward by the State. The de- fense put on the stand Mrs Grayson. who, in clear and distinct manner, told of the tragedy that cut short the life of her young relative, and the facts lead ing up to the killing. She told, without hesitation, of the two attempts at as sault made by young Henry Grayson, had left her in young Grayson's care while he was away from home She told of his threats to take her life and the life of her husband if she should tell him of the attempts.
 After promising to keep silent. she says. he left her and went about his work. At the second attempt. she says, that her lit- tie son was awakened by the struggle. and he, fearing that the child would tell, desisted.
 On the following morning. her husband being absent. she began talking to Henry Grayson as she cleared away the dishes from the breakfast table. She says he told Ter to shut her mouth. as the first time that Sol was away from home that he intended to kill her. He moved his ohair back from the tlbie. and she. be- lieving that he intended to carry out his purpose, stepped to the next room, and. taking down a shot gun from the rack, fired at him at close range, shooting him in the back and producing wound that caus ed instant death.
