Mr.. and Mrs. Griffin in Jail, sue
ceeded only in confusing the
time of death still more than the
testimony of inmates of the house,
which has been vague.
Frances E. Michaud, friend of
the slain girl, had just testified
TO having seen her at the bar in
the Reid house at about 1910,
later than anyone else could re-
member seeing her alive.
Chester, following her to the
stand, said he had been serving
drinks at the bar until late Sun
day morning and had not seen the
girl after about 1880 o'clock,
considerably earlier than other
witnesses had placed her disap-
pearance.
Excluding Chester's testimony,
Miss Michaud and Theodore Rus
sell, who took Graydon Plowman
in search of a police officer after
the taxi employee had discovered
the body, succeeded in narrowing
down the time from the girls dis
appearance to her death.
Russell testified he had picked
up Plowman in his car at not
later than 2.35 o'clock Sunday
morning, about 20 minutes after
Plowman had found the girls
body in the bed.
Testimony Of six inmates of the
house confiicted on whether Mr.
and Mrs, Griffin would not ordi-
narily have gone in search of one
of the girls if she remained in her
room as much as an hour. The
concensus of opinion seemed to
be that ordinarily one or the
other would have made inquiry
and that house rules required all
the girls to remain in the dance
hall when not in their rooms.
