However. Griffin, whllo violating the

In their presence.' He 'denied any
knowledge of plot for Clark's es

of Clark." and that ho went to Now
York m nis interest prior to tae mur-;
dor trial here. -
,- Grlftiu Gives His Version. ; ;
St pward Griffin made a statement
to the board. He 'explained that when
he waa' found; talking with Clark It
was because the latter was sick and
he was looking .after him. . He had
no need for a pistol then because
Clark was! shackled. Ho explained
that he did 'not have Clark moved
from the double couch. ' That order
was- given ho supposed by ! Night,
Guard Gordon Bailey . He asked to
have the peep hole over Clark's couch
stopped up because It was never used!
Tt-was so' high that the guard couril
hot .reach It. v c . " ' " .
f'lf there had ',bccn' a .conspiracy
between Clark and mo," said Griffin,
"would I have read that letter Clark
wrote to Supervisor Bailey?1' I could
aUy have slipped it In the mail . ft
1 wanted to. 1 know that .Clark Is a
desperate man and will do anything
to escape, even commit .murder, and
f can see that that letter. Is an effort
to put It' on mo." Ho said that It was
tbo duty of tho guards to road the
prisoners' letters before they were
mailed. ' He was passing Clark's
couch when the' latter handed hlra
the letter toUpchurch and he never
notice at the time that It was sealed,
which was contrary to the rules.
When he did observe U he remarked i
on the fact to Mr. Bailey. The only ) -
