Then Charles held the woman while
the younger brother committed like
offense.
When released Mrs. Griffith strug-
gled to her feet, and Charles grasped
her and held her while George stran-
gled her to death with his hands.
They then left the lifeless body in the
room and went upstairs and ran
sacked the bureau, finding $35 in
Mrs. Griffith's purse, hidden beneath
some of her clothing in the bottom
drawer They returned to the lower
floor, and, after another search of the
house, the, two carried her to the mill
pond, Charles holding the feet and
George the arms.
Robbery Not Prime Motive.
In making the trip from the house
to the water they rested but once.
Humphreys was questioned closely as
to motive, and. while he said that they
knew the woman might have some
money in the house, the thought OF
robbery did not occur to them until
after Mrs. Griffith was dead. This
tallies with the confession Of his
brother, George, now awaiting trial at
Corvallis, with the exception that
Georges confession entirely shields
Charles.
The prisoner drew rough sketch
Of the Griffith house and traced their
movements in She building, step by
step. While going over details of the
crime he did not falter and was moved
but little When the stenographic
notes were read to him he signed them
without reluctance and three witness
es affixed their signatures to the in
strument.
! Humphreys is 80 years of age and
was born in Colorado. The two broth
ers have always been poverty-stricken
and the only windfall they have ex-
perienced was when an uncle in New
Zealand left them $500 each a few
years ago With this money they
bought a small place near Dallas, af-
terward selling and going to Yoncalla
finally drifting to Philomath. The
confession recites that they sold out
the Philomath ranch at loss Of
$4OO in order to get away from the
scene of their crime
Arrest Follows Interview.
The arrest of Charles followed as a
result Of the conversation with re-
porter Of the Oregonian last Friday,
when, in response to the information
that George had confessed to murder,
Charles, instead Of expressing sur
prise, said "Where did he leave the
horse?' referring to the animal
George had taken to Forest Grove the
day he was arrested. District Attor-
ney Tongue and his deputy conferred
for a short time, and then instructed
the officers to bring the younger
brother before them.
Chas. Humphreys confession bears
ont the theory expressed when George
confessed-that he was shielding the
younger brother. Lee, another broth
err is now at his home in Moscow,
Idaho.
In appearance the murderer Is more
progressing than his elder brother.
