AIKEN FUGITIVE CAUGHT.
Walter Griffin to Stand Trial for
killing Wife.

Aiken, March 9.-DeputiZed by
Sheriff Henry H. Howard, Rural Po-
liceman Musco Samuels has returned
from Savannah, Ca, bringing with
him one Walter Griffin, negro, want
ed here since June 29, of last year, on
charge of murder. City Detective
Murphy, Of Savannah, arrested the
negro last Tuesday, notifying Sheriff
Howard, who sent for him with the
above result. There was no reward.
In. the charges preferred against
the negro it is alleged that he shot
his wife, the load from the gun enter
ing just above the knee, shatterlng
the bones, killing the nerves and de-
stroying the muscles. Surviving the
wound a week she died on July 4, and
the physician in attendance gave it
as his professional opinion that her
death was the result of her inability
to survive the pain and shock of the
wound. The homicide occurred at
their home near Boggy Branch, on
Schultz Hill.
Immediately after shooting his
wife, Griffin made his escape, mas
querading under the name of Frank
Johnson. He first made his way to
Jacksonville, Fla, where he remained
week, then going to Savannah,
where he remained up to the time of
his capture Tuesday.
1t has been stated that the pris
oner admits the allegations in the
charge resting against him, but pleads
self-defence in extinuation of the kill
ing, averring that several times prior
to the fatal difficulty his wife had
made efforts to cut him, was doing
so when he shot her, and that the re-
lations existing between them were
very strained.

MAY EMPOWER STATES.
Congress Likely to Consider Enforce
ment of Sherman Law.

The advisability OF Congress expressly
giving state courts jurisdiction to enforce
the Sherman antitrust law by issuing IN
functions and by awarding damages may
be considered at the present session, TO-
gether with other trust legislation.
The question came before the United
States Supreme Court III the book pub
fishers case, originating in the New York
state courts decided Monday. Justice
Day did not deal with the question III his
oral statement from the bench, and his
written opinion in the case, completed
and made public today. SHOWS that the
court expressly left the question open.
merely deciding that the copyright laws
did not validate an agreement of pub
fishers and booksellers not to sell copy
righted books TO cut-rate booksellers.
Legislation would remove all doubt on the
question. 4 precedent for giving the
state courts jurisdiction is said to exist
in the employers liability act OF 1905.
