Calvin Griffin who was tried in the Josephine Circuit court last week, Lchargecl with tho murder of Edwin Johnson, was acquitted aud is onee again a free man, after beiug cou- flued in jail bat one week. Never before has a criminal case been con cluded in so brief a time from the committing of the deed as was this one. In less than two weeks from the time of the tragedy, Griffln was tried aud received a verdict from the jury- The 12 meu who composed the jury for the trial of Grifllu were, Joseph McCasliu, Joe Hiatt, Geo. B. Archer, W. L Sweetlaud, Fred. Knox, IL Hulbert, John Pool, E. C. Neely, A. A. Porter, W. C. Fry, Wm. Fnikes aud W. R. Nipper. The jury went out about 13 o'clock Saturday aud were out about three hours. Five ballots were necessary to reach an agreement. In the first two billows teu were in favor of acquittal aud two manslaughter ;in the third and fourth ballot 11 were in favor of acquittal and one man slaughter. In the fifth ballot all voted for acquittal. Tho verdict reuderod seems to be satisfactory so far as public opinion is concerned and all feel that tho jury did their duty. Attorney Robert G. Smith ably de feuded Grifllu, whilo District Attor uey Reames prosecuted the case. Many witnesses were called both for tho defense and for the Btato. The testimony of the witnesses proved conclusively that Grifllu was provoked into tho quarrel that led to the tragedy. The character of tho two men curried much weight in tho ren dering of the verdict. Grifllu is a quiet, easy-going man who attends strictly to his owu business aud talks but little. Ou tho other baud, John son, wheu ho was drunk nt least, was of a quarrelsome disposition. Several witnesses testified thut under such conditions, Johnson was a " terror. " His sole ambition seemed to be centered in tho one Idea of picking a fight. On the evening of the tragedy John son was very drunk and was making things uncomfortable for everyone about the Waldo hotel. Ho kicked over dishes aud upset things in general. Ho paid no heed to tho requests of several to bcltivo himself and was fiuully ejected from tho room by Grif fin aud a cpniianion. Dnring this proceeding Johnson slapped Grifllu in tho faco and it was then that Grifllu grew angry and went away presum ably to get his revolver at least the testimony presented in court would indicate this. Wheu Grifllu returned Johii-ou resumed his quarrel and in a few moments was dealing Grifllu hard and rapid blows in the face. Mad dened to frenzy by this treatment, Grifllu drew his revolver aud fired. This part of the tragedy, which might have gone bad for Grifllu, was weighed in his fuvor from the fact of tho testi mony presented by eyo witnesses prov ing that ho was bucking away from Johnson when lie, tired the fatal sliuts. All in nil, the case was a dirty one at best, and all concerned are triad that it is over, and the less frequently such affairs occur the better will it be for the society of Josephine county in general. .
