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.
