JO JOHNSON'S
«IFE ISIIICIOE
White. She Was Spurned by Her
Former Friends and Associ
ates of Negro Husband.
CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 12.—Etta
Johnson, wife of John Arthur John
(on negro champion heavyweight prize
fighter of the world, died today in the
provident hospital as A result of a
Jf lf-inflicted bullet wound.
.4 white woman, former wife of Olar-'
Mice Duryea and a conspicuous figure in
Long Island society, site had been suffer
ing f ont a nervous attack for some tim .
Last night, after retiring to her room
in the apartment above her husband's
new Case DeChampion, she dismissed
her two negro maids. Five minutes
later they heard a shot. Rushing into
the room, they found the woman lying
across the bed, a revolver by her side.
Police were summoned and the woman
removed to the hospital.
A few minutes later Johnson reached
his home. He was told of the affair,
and. jumping into one of his racing
automobiles, rushed to the hospital. He
arrived just as his wife was laid on the
operating table, where a vain effort
was made to save her life. She died
shortly after 3 o’clock this morning.
Floretta Whale Eloper, Her Cousin.
For several years she was the
wife of Clarence Duryea. She obtained
a divorce in Chicago in 1910 and mar
ried Johnson. She was a cousin of
Floretta Whaley, the girl who five
years ago eloped with Rev. Jere Cook
from Hempstead. N. Y.
Friends of the woman say that the
real cause of her nervous breakdown
was the realization "that sh% had cut
herself off forever from old friends and
ass > ( iations. She was treated as an
outcast by Johnson’s negro friends, who
resented ftls having married a woman
outside his own race.
The woman was to have left last
night for Las Vegas, N. M„ in the hope
that a change of climate would benefit
her health. She broke down shortly
before train time and was unable to de
part. Johnson was at the, station ex
plaining the situation to friends with
whom she was to make the trip when
the woman shot herself.
Rev. John S. Morris, of St. Monica
Roman Catholic church, administered
extreme unction to the dying woman.
Johnson was at the bedside and wept
like a child while the priest was read
ing the service.
An inquest into Mrs. Johnson's death
was set for 2 o’clock this afternoon.
Stories that the pugilist and his wife
had quarreled had reached the ear of
the coroner and these were to be in
vestigated.
"Knockout For Ms," Says Johnson.
The black champion was grief-strick
en today.
This is a knockout for Jack John
son" he said. "It's the stiffest blow I
ever got. She did not know how much
I cared or she never would have done
It We had not quarreled. There was
no reason.”
The Case de Champion was closed to
iay. but for hours after the tragedy
he place rang with music and curious
trends stood before the bar.
Crowds gathered in the streets to
iay in front of the place, and there
vere numerous and heated discussions
■f the marriage of whites and blacks.
At times it appeared that there might
he trouble.
Johnson shut himself in the apart
nents and refused himself to all call
rs. Even his most Intimate friends
were told the champion did not want
o see any one.
It was reported that the champion
f’lt that he never again would enter
the prize ring.

Miss Gladys Hanson, the Atlanta girl
whose stage career has been marked by
success for several seasons, has won new
laurels by her appearance in New York
this week in ‘ The Governor's Lady,” a

stock company at the Grand several sea
sons ago, is playing a prominent role in
the same company with Miss Hansen.

AGAIN AL MACON
*
Atlantan Answering Charge of
Assaulting W. R. Jester,
Also of This City.
MACON. GA., Sept. 12.—The marital
troubles of John T. Anglin, of Atlan
ta, so far as they involve W. R. Jes
ter, of Atlanta, are again being given
a legal airing here. Anglin is on trial
in the city court for assault and bat
tery on and for pointing a pistol at
Jester. Several months ago Anglin was
tried and was found not guilty of
pointing a pistol at Ira Bradshaw, his
father-in-law, pleaded guilty to carry
ing a concealed weapon, and secured
mistrials on the two charges for which
he is now being tried.
In the trial today Policeman Alex
Thompson, formerly a clerk at the Eu
ropean hotel, testified that on October
21, last year, Jester and Mrs. Anglin
registered with him and were assigned,
respectively, to rooms Nos. 10 and 16,
and that shortly afterward he saw Jes
ter enter Mrs. Anglin's room. He re
called Mrs. Anglin particularly because
she had a white poodle deg with her at
the time.
Joseph W. Hill, of Atlanta, publisher
of the Atlanta city directory, testified
that he was in Macon at the time with
Mr. Jester and Mrs. Anglin and that
neither of them registered at the hotel.
He said their names do not show! on the
hotel register. He said he was very
friendly to both Jester and Mrs. Anglin.
The cases will go to the jury this aft
ernoon.
