LIFE SENTENCE
Given the Murderer of Thomp.
son, Chief of Police of
Town of GassaWay.

GAsSAWAY, July 17-Holly Grif-
fifth, who shot and killed Chief of
Police G.. o. Thompson, April 80,
and wounded a man by the name of
Conner, was convicted this week of
murder in the first degree and given
life sentence in the penitentiary at
Moundsville. Griffith was put, on
trial at Sutton. He had no defense.
although he went upon the witness
stand and stated he did not remem-
Der anything about shooting Thomp-
son. yet he made different statements
to Detective Clendinen and others.
This was the most exciting murder
trial that has been tried In Braxton
county for many years. Only one
man was ever hanged, and this man
wa shanged juat after the war in
the court yard at Sutton. Sentiment
in the county is pretty much against
hanging.
Griffith was very cool prisoner
and seemed to be very little affected
by the ordeal and trial. His father
was present at the trial, from Clarks-
burg. The wife of Griffith was not
present during the trial. There was
a large crowd present on Monday
when the trial began.

Big Gains.

with a further boom in war special-

new high records with gains OF ten
to almost twenty-five points Tor tnat
brief period. Crucible Steel was
again the most conspicuous feature
advancing to fifty-one with the pre-
ferred at -O4. Other issues In this
class. which touched quotations never

steel at 191, Baldwin Locomotive at

Numerous minor industrials. such

United States Steel was almost the
only one of the former market lead

that it was all two strong men could
do to carry it along.
Coming to Clarksburg.
Charles and Louis Whey. young
men employed at a manufacturing
plant at Grasselli; and a young man
named McCarty-Mr. Bee could not
recall what his first name is-who
works at Tin Plate, seemed to be in
charge of the stuff and Mr.. Bee
placed them under arrest on a
charge of violating the prohibition
law. The three were on their way
to Clarksburg with their cargo.
The liquor was labelled. but in
Mr.. Bees opinion the quantity was
too great for even three men to carry
into the state for their lawful per
sonal use. AS matter of fact, MI.
Bee said. they were not carrying 1t
because they could not, hence the
men were not, to his notion, con-
forming with the law.
A Test Case.
As the question as to what guam
tity of liquor person may bring
into the state under proper labels for
his own lawful personal use has not
as yet been judtcially construed, this
case will likely be made test in
order to determine it.
The Vineys and McCarty were
taken before justice of the peace
at Piedmont and preliminary hear
ing was held. which resulted in all
of them being held for the action of
the next Mineral grand jury under
the usual bonds of $1,000 each. The
bonds were furnished, the Whey
boys putting up spot cash for theirs,
and all were released.

And Tin Plate Workers and
Their Families and Friends
Enjoy a Grand Outing.

The second annual picnic of the
employees of the Phillips Sheet and
Tin Plate Company is now history,
but 1t is certainty that the employees
never enjoyed a day any more than
they enjoyed Saturday. Although
rain delayed the starting of the pro-
gram in the morning, the sun came
out about noon and the afternoon
was an ideal one for the big event.
Immediately following the big
street parade the large crowd went
to Norwood park where it listened
to addresses by A. X. Thorn, city
treasurer, George w. Dudderar; John
C. Williams and Walter SHAKESPEARE.
All the addresses were very inter
esting and well-received by the large
crowd of working men and their
families.
The athletic program was started
by a baseball game between Maple, s
team and Evans's team, In which
Naples team was winner by score
of to 0. Whitney pitched for
Naples team, while Reed did the
slab work for Evans's team. The
winning team Toasted on five gallons
of ice cream which was donated by
the Imperial Ice Cream Company.
The married men were winners IN
the tug of war. pulling the single
men off their feet in less than five
minutes. This was great surprise
to the large crowd as it looked az
if the young men on the single team
would have but little difficulty in
pulling the older married men OH
their feet, but when the oiG timers
got warmed up there was nothing to
it but for the single men to give in.
A. Starcher won the half mile run
for men from a field of fifteen star
ters. The finish was very close. The
10O-yard dash for men was captured
by w. E. Pratt from field of twenty
starters. Pratt made the 100 yards
In IL seconds. Fred Raymond was
winner in the 10O-yard dash for boys,
his time being 10 "a seconds.
Little Miss Lucille Marshall won
the fifty-yard dash for girls under
1s years old. This was one OF the
most Interesting races, of the after
noon, six small children. being the
contestants. The other races on the
program for women and young girls
we're called off as enough entrants
could not be secured to Justify the
running of the races.
w. NJ. Brown won the Marathon
race from field of twenty-five star
ters. On account of the excessive
heat the race was cut down TO q

originally scheduled.

inches. The high jump and the
creased pig were called OFF as the
standards for the high jump were
broken in transportation and the pig
escaped from the men who were
greasing him and made his ger away.
The championship fat mars race
was won by Walter SHAKESPEARE, who
was the heaviest and oldest man in
the race. Mr.. SHAKESPEARE in his
earlier days was champion runner
and In the race Saturday afternoon
he showed o1d-time style, making
fifty yards in six seconds.
The big event of the day was the
motorcycle race between the Frum
Brothers, w. w. Ours and j. G. Hen
erickson. Earl Frum, riding an Ex-
celsor machine, was first; Carl Frum,
riding the same make machine, was
second; Hendrickson third and Ours
fourth. The time for the five miles
was 6 minutes.
The last event on the program was
an automobile race, which was won
by Samuel Chancey. driving Paige
car. His time for the three miles
was minutes and seconds. doc"
jackson driving Peerless Six. was
second. He finished four seconds be-
hind Chancey.
The committee in charge of the
days program deserves much credit
for the systematic way in which all
the events were carried out.
