TEXAS FARMER SLAIN, TENNANT SURRENDERS

Special to the Star-Telegram.

Mexia, May 29--George W. Griffith (sic), prominent farmer of the Kirk community, six miles west of Groesbeck, was shot and killed instantly about 3:00 p.m. Saturday, and Cleve tucker, his tenant, who surrendered to Sheriff Whit Popejoy at Groesbeck following the shooting, is in the county jail pending making bond.
Self-defense is the plea of Tucker, who made a statement to County Attorney Scott Reed. In his statement, Tucker says he drove up to Griffith's house, when the landlord came out and hit him with an automobile pump and threatened to hit him again when Tucker fired with his revolver, one shot hitting Griffith in the arm, another in the right eye and a third just below the neck.
Tucker alleged in his statement that the trouble between him and his landlord started over business relations, Griffith ordering Tucker to go to work. The confessed slayer also claims that Griffith was intoxicated.
Mrs. Rutherford, a neighbor of the Griffiths, was an eye witness to the shooting, it is said.
The slain man is survived by his wife, two daughters living at Lubbock, his mother and several brothers who live in West Texas. The Griffith family was a pioneer one of the Kirk community. Griffith's wife was visiting with a neighbor when the shooting took place. Tucker has lived on the Griffith farm for nearly three years.

John L. Griffis served in 24th Miss. Infantry, C.S.A.

Buried in Kirk cemetery, Kirk, Limestone County, Texas.

John L. Griffis, a substantial farmer of Limestone County, Texas, was born in what was then Chickasaw County (now Webster), Mississippi, March 7, 1842, and was a decendant of two old southern families. He was the son of John and Eliza (Jennings) Griffis.
John L. and two of his brothers, William and Thomas, served in the Confederate army during the Civil War. William, a member of Company C, Twenty-fourth Mississippi Infantry, Walthall's brigade, was wounded at the battle of Missionary Ridge, from the effects of which he afterward died in the hospital.
John L. Griffis was reared in his native place, where, in the spring of 1862, he entered the Confederate service, enlisting in the same infantry company as his brother, William. He remained about Fernandina, Florida, three months, and his regiment was then ordered to Virginia. It reached the scene of active hostilities, but too late to take part in the battle of Manassas. It was then sent West, and took part in the campaigns in Kentucky and Tennessee, and was in the battles of Perryville, Murgreesborough, Chickamaugua and Lookout Mountain.
At the last mentioned engagement, he was catptured and taken to the Federal prision at Rock Island, Illinois where he remained until March, 1865, and was then taken to Richmond, Virginia to be exchanged. He was at home at the time of the surrender. With the exception of a slight wound received at Chickamaugua, from which he was disabled for about ten days, he escaped without injury, but saw a good deal of prision life.
After the close of hostilities, he returned to Mississippi, but in 1879 came to Limestone County, Texas. Shortly afterward he removed to Leon County, this State, and in 1882 moved back to Limestone County where he purchased 320 acres paying $3.75 an acre, afterwards added 337 and one half acres more, then sold 150 acres. He had 110 acres under cultivation, the remainder in pasture, and all under fence. He kept considerable stock and was a well-to-do farmer.

John L. Griffis was reared in his native place, where, in the spring of 1862, he entered the Confederate service, enlisting in the same infantry company as his brother, William. He remained about Fernandina, Florida, three months, and his regiment was then ordered to Virginia. It reached the scene of active hostilities, but too late to take part in the battle of Manassas. It was then sent West, and took part in the campaigns in Kentucky and Tennessee, and was in the battles of Perryville, Murgreesborough, Chickamaugua and Lookout Mountain.
At the last mentioned engagement, he was catptured and taken to the Federal prision at Rock Island, Illinois where he remained until March, 1865, and was then taken to Richmond, Virginia to be exchanged. He was at home at the time of the surrender. With the exception of a slight wound received at Chickamaugua, from which he was disabled for about ten days, he escaped without injury, but saw a good deal of prision life.
After the close of hostilities, he returned to Mississippi, but in 1879 came to Limestone County, Texas. Shortly afterward he removed to Leon County, this State, and in 1882 moved back to Limestone County where he purchased 320 acres paying $3.75 an acre, afterwards added 337 and one half acres more, then sold 150 acres. He had 110 acres under cultivation, the remainder in pasture, and all under fence. He kept considerable stock and was a well-to-do farmer.
