GRIFFITH JURY
HEARS NEW
TESTIMONY
Chambers Asks Extreme
Penalty in Trial Of
Rea! Estate Man.

Successful in their attempts to have
testimony, barred in the three previous
trials, admitted to the jury, District
Attorney c. VI. Chambers Wednesday
for the fourth time asked in the Thir-
.ty-seventh District court for the life
of 7. L. Griffith, real estate man,
charged with the killing of George
Mason, garage man.
Don't you dare go into that
house."
These words were among the hIther-
10 barred testimony and came from
the lips of william Griffith, brother
Of the defendant, J.. A. Richard, testi-
fi-d. Richard, Il neighbor of the Grit
fiths, said William Griffith said this
after his brother had gone into the
house and told George Mason, who
was staggering to his feet, not to get
blood on his (William's) car, or he
would knock him down.
DESCRIBES BLOWS.
Ed Rittiman. brother-in-law of
Richard, testified that he and Rich
ard heard the first blows while they
were in their home at DOB Grove
place.
Florida Washington. negro woman,
was the star witness for the prOsecu-
ton. She testified that Mason was
struck with n tire pump as be kneeled
beside his own truck repairing q tire.
She also said that the garage man was
struck after he had fallen to the
ground.
Apparently following the testimony
with intense interest, the jury once
asked for recall of a prosecution wit
ness to repeat part of his testimony.
The defense attorneys. W. II. Blan-
ton and Il. B. Simmons. cross-exam-
incd the witnesses carefully.
KILLED IN 1928.
In previous trials Griffith's at
torneys have sought to establish self
defense as a motive. The defendant
has taken the stand in his own de-
Tense at each trial and it is on his
testimony that his attorneys hope 10
gain an acquittal.
District Attorney Chambers is as
sisted by two special prosecutors, Gus
Mauermann and Claude Carter.
Selection Of jury TO try Griffith
was not completed until late Tuesday
night, after all Of Monday and Tues
day sessions of court had been taken
up with questioning Of nearly 800
prospective jurors.
Mason was beaten to death with
an automobile pump in a street near
Griffitk's home in December. 1928.
