IS HE REALLY HER HUBRY
OR JUST A GOOD FRIEND?
Another Shroud of Mystery Flaps Around the
Breezy Young Chicagoan Who
Fought the Cops.
A new feature nt mytttry ni add-
td Saturday morning to the caae of
Mrs. Pretreta M. Johnson, the young
Chicago woman who a few daya ago
flapped two policemen at the police
station. and who haa alnce been con
fined In the matron’a ward In default
of a line of $10.76.
The fine waa paid Saturday morn
ing. and Mra. Johnaon, who la notv
declared to be demented, waa taken
awav from the police atatlon by a well
dre.sed young man, of pleaaant ad-
firest*. who waa auppoaed to be her
hu.hand, but who later denied thla re.
■atlonship to the young woman. He
protested that he was merely acting In
the ..opacity of a friend.
The appearance of thla man at the
station followed the receipt of a tele
gram by Chief Jennings, supposed to
be signed by Mrs. Johnson's husband,
and which stated he was coming to
Atlanta for the young woman..
When the message was received,
Mrs. Johnson said It waa from her
husband.
The supposed husband declares Mrs.
Johnson Is demented, and this opin
ion Is also shared by Miss Sanderson,
the matron, who has been caring for
her.
8tranger Wouldn't Answer.
The stranger had a conference with
Recorder Broyles, and made an effort
to have the fine reduced. During the
conversation, the recorder asked him
If he was Mrs. Johnson's husband, but
he declined to enlighten the recorder
on thla point. The latter then declined
to reduce the fine, after which It was
paid.
When asked by Judge Broyles If he
was Mrs. Johnson's husband, the young
man replied:
"1 have never told anyone I was her
husband.”
“Well, I would like to know for my
own Information whether you are her
husband?” Insisted the recorder.
"1 prefer not to answer the question,'
was the reply.
“Then I prefer not to reduce the
fine,” rejoined the recorder and the In
terview came to an end.
“I’m Only a Friend."
The young man stranger was asked
by a Georgian reporter If he waa "Mr.
Johnaon" and he responded In the neg,
atlve.
'I am only a friend looking after a
poor, demented woman,” he said.
Miss Sanderson waa left under the
Impression the stranger was Mrs. John
son's husband. She said the young
woman seemed very glad to see, him,
and threw her arms about his neck.
The telegram, supposed to have.been
sent here by the husband, was wired
from Augusta, and Mrs. Johnson haa
been taken back to that city.
The telegram was signed *'J. H.
Johnson” and waa as follows:
“Protect and care for Mrs. Petreta
M. Johnson. Will come for her tomor.

over with him, together with 1 Mr. Mc

points In which the bill, as you have

Mr. Adams stated that he personally

"If these changes which Mr. Adams

In Mr. McCabe's opinion, somewhat

Chairman Wadaowrth, of the commit

In hla letter Mr. Wadsworth says
"You are wrong, very, very wrong,

"To show you how unreliable the In
formation la upon which you baas your
opinion of the bill. I call your attention
to the following language In your let
ter: There Is no provision for mak
ing the plants accessible at all hours
lo the Inspectors.’
"If you will turn to page 4 of thl
bill (copy Inclosed), line 21, you nd;
find the following words: ‘And for the
purpose of such examination said In

toevery part of said establishment.'
"Can English language be made any
