GRIFFMEN BACK HOME FOLLOWING 545 TRIP ON ROAD
Brief Stand
Opens Today
With As
By FRANK BUCK O'NEILL

Their winning streak checked at
four games, the Griffs arrived in
the Capital this morning to open
a three-games series with the hap
less Athletics. 1t should be rich
picking, for right now the Mack
men are so low that they could
put on a high hat and walk under
duck. Not lower than the
Browns, but still plenty low.
Winning two out of three over
the highly touted Boston team,
the Griffs forced themselves over
the 500 notch. They won six
games and lost five for a percent
age Of .545.
The Griffs lost the only game
they played in Chicago, with two
contests rained out. They won two
in st. Louis, lost three in Detroit
and beat the Indians two straight
in Cleveland.
Bat Work Okay
Twice in Detroit and yesterday
in Boston the Griffs looked bad
at the bat. In the other games
they were effective enough. Their
trip was marked by the rapid de-
velopment of Buddy Lewis, who is
playing the most spectacular bail
ever played by a rookie Of his ten
der years. He has baseball in
stinct, and stardom is bound to be
his within the next two years. All
he needs is just a little time to
build up his throwing arm.
The trip was marked also by
the return of Earl Whitehill, who
returned to action in Cleveland
and pitched winning ball. White
hill will be on the hill for the
GriffS today.

JURORS IN TEARS < FOR PRISONER

Buffalo, N. Y.. Jan. 27-(UP)-- Three Jurors were in tears, one of them weeping openly, when defense counsel completed its summation today in the second degree murder trial of Mrs. Lucille Thorn Horan, former Broadway chorus beauty charged with staying her husband. Frank.
 Thomas L. Newton, summing up for the defense, referred to Mrs. Horan as "a little buttercup in the field, it's petals twisted and torn, never. to be the same again."
 After attacking the evidence in- troduced by the state. Newton said:
 "Gentlemen, this little girl, Lu- cille Horan, has gone through that which no verdict whether favor- able or unfavorable, can ever ren- edy."
 The defense contended that Mrs. Horan, twice widowed by bullets, shot and killed her husband follow ing an all-night drinking party while wrestling for possession of a gun. The state claims she shot him as he staggered about. hopelessly drunk, on the front lawn of their summer home.

 Has Been Paid

Boston, Jan. 27-(Up)-Two state prison convicts were sentenced to life Imprisonment today for murdering their guard in an escape attempt. superior Judge Thomas J. Ham- inond ruled the sentence would take effect in ie4e. when the convicted slayers, Antonio Repucci. 26, and Ed ward duarnelli, 27, both of Everett, will complete sentences of 10 to is years each for burglary, The pair were convicted Of the second degred murder cf Guard walter R. Doucstte. s4 years old father of six children. by the first jury in the history of suffolk county to report verdict on Sunday. Doucette was slain with his own revolver while escorting Repucci and 0uarnelli from court to prison last December 23.
 Nervous In Court
 Obviously nervous when brought into court yesterday after the jury had deliberated for more than l3 hours, the defendants appeared re- lieved at the verdict. If convicted of first degree murder, they would have faced death in the electric chair. Only handful of spectators, including Guarnelli's mother and brother Arthur, were present.
 During the trial, each defendant accused the other of firing the fatal shot. Repucci testified the escape had been planned while they were awaiting trial at Dedham court, but Guarnelli denied 1t was premedi- tated Each had been serving 10 to l2 years at state prison for burglary. Asserting the jury had plenty of precedent in returning q second de- gree verdict, veteran court attaches could recall only one case in which the slayers of policemen or guards in Suffolk county paid the daeth penalty. That was the case of Charles Trippi. Jr., electrocuted for the murder of Guard Frederick Pfiu. ger in 1929.
