The finding of Joseph Griffith’s body in a mining shaft jn the suburbs of Grass Valley is still the absorbing topic of conversation with the people generally throughout the county. The tragedy has created considerable excitement among the citizens of our sister city, and yesterday a large number of people visjted the locality where the body was found. The citizens were horrified to learn that there are evidences of foul play-concerning Griffiths’ untimely end and express their desire that a strenuous effort be made to bring the guilty party or parties to justice. The secret of the awful crime came to light through the women of the neighborhood, or those who knew of the affair, discussing the matter among themselves. At. the outset it seems that the knowledge of the tragedy was confined to two or three parties. ue woman is said to have confided in one of her friends and in this manner it came to the. ears of Marshal Deeble and John Hocking, who worked the case up from a mere word that was dropped in an unguarded moment to the finding of the body in a shaft back of the home of Charles Allen and the return of the body to Mrs. Griffiths. The sordid desire for money on the part of a manjgand woman was the cause that led up to the discovery of the body and the clearing upof the mystery. The man spoke to a gentleman about it and asked what he might expect if he showed the exact spot where the body laid. He was offered $100, but this was not enough. He demanded $200, with $50 for the woman who gave the first clue in relation to the crime. After a consultasion with the widow of Mr. Griffiths it was decided to pay the man the amount he asked and all arrangments were made for the payment of the money upon the finding of the body. It was at Allen’s house that Griffiths was last seen alive. But Mrs. Allen’s stories in relation to the visit of the murdered man do not coincide, and did not at the time of the disappearance. To members of the family she stated that she had last seen Mr. Griffiths at 7 o’clock. on the morning of the day he was last secu by others, while to Sheriff Getchell she said she had seen him at 4 o’clock on the same day. Although this variance caused comment at the time it was not thought of sufficient importance to connect the woman or her husband with the murder. Sheriff Getchel] was engaged yesterday in procuring photographic. views of the vicinity where the shaft is lo-. ’ cated and where the suspected murder occurred. When the decomposed remains of Griffiths was raised to the surface, Saturday,.it was encased in burlap to hold it as intact as possible. Later on a bullet was discovered in the burlap, which is reported to have dropped from the region of the spinal column. . The Coroner’s inquest, which was commenced on. Saturday, was resumed this afternoon in Justice Mulroy’s courtroom, and the place was crowded to the doors. Mr. Benfield was the first to be put on the witness stand today, and his testimony contradicted the statement made on Saturday, when he stated that he did not havea contract for furnishing the desired information. He now claims that. he did have a contract. Mrs. Kelleher testified that Mrs. Benfield told her that ‘if she was.a man she could go and find the body in two hours, Mrs. Chas. Whiting of this city was called and identified a Postoffice key foundon the remains as the property ot her father. Joseph’Griffiths. . Mrs. Benfield was called and testified. She denied hav. ing made the statement as previously testified to by Mrs. Kelleher. : When the TRANSCRIPT went to press there was still a large number of witnesses to be examined, and it is doubtful if the testimony will be concluded before midnight. presented to the Ways and Means Committee a tariff bill for the Phillipines, which is designed to meet conditions according to the decision rendered by the Supreme Court. executive session all morning.

It was at Allen’s house that Griffiths was last seen alive. But Mrs. Allen’s stories in relation to the visit of the murdered man do not coincide, and did not at the time of the disappearance. To members of the family she stated that she had last seen Mr. Griffiths at 7 o’clock. on the morning of the day he was last secu by others, while to Sheriff Getchell she said she had seen him at 4 o’clock on the same day. Although this variance caused comment at the time it was not thought of sufficient importance to connect the woman or her husband with the murder. Sheriff Getchel] was engaged yesterday in procuring photographic. views of the vicinity where the shaft is lo-. ’ cated and where the suspected murder occurred. When the decomposed remains of Griffiths was raised to the surface, Saturday,.it was encased in burlap to hold it as intact as possible. Later on a bullet was discovered in the burlap, which is reported to have dropped from the region of the spinal column. . The Coroner’s inquest, which was commenced on. Saturday, was resumed this afternoon in Justice Mulroy’s courtroom, and the place was crowded to the doors. Mr. Benfield was the first to be put on the witness stand today, and his testimony contradicted the statement made on Saturday, when he stated that he did not havea contract for furnishing the desired information. He now claims that. he did have a contract. Mrs. Kelleher testified that Mrs. Benfield told her that ‘if she was.a man she could go and find the body in two hours, Mrs. Chas. Whiting of this city was called and identified a Postoffice key foundon the remains as the property ot her father. Joseph’Griffiths. . Mrs. Benfield was called and testified. She denied hav. ing made the statement as previously testified to by Mrs. Kelleher. : When the TRANSCRIPT went to press there was still a large number of witnesses to be examined, and it is doubtful if the testimony will be concluded before midnight. presented to the Ways and Means Committee a tariff bill for the Phillipines, which is designed to meet conditions according to the decision rendered by the Supreme Court. executive session all morning.
