facturer, was arrested here today
in connection with the murder of

unfrequented road three miles
from this city.
QuizZed After Staying.
Griffith, the president and gen.
eral manager of the United Ma
chine and Manufacturing Company,
was held on a technical charge of
being a suspicious person." while
county and city authorities planned
to question him further regarding
his actions on the night Of the
murder of Miss Hunter, a case
which has baffled detectives for
six days.
Griffith, who is thirty-two years
Of age and married, was questioned
the day following the murder, but
at that time his explanations were
accepted and he was released.
Miss Hunter left her home last
Wednesday night about 8 o'clock to
20 down town where she was to
meet her brother and attend a
dance. Two hours later her body
was found on a little frequented
highway. How the girl had been
lured into the machine, and the
means used to accomplish, her death
are as yet unsolved mysteries.
Her vital organs were removed
prior to burial Saturday and sent
to Columbus for analysis by State
chemists. Authorities. however, are
acting upon the theory that she
was chloroformed and that an over
dose of the drug killed her.
Griffith, upon being arrested and
placed in a cell, Immediately sent
for his attorney, Walter s. Ruff,
q former prosecuting attorney. He
refused to make any statement.
