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. row night.” Son to Occupy Pulpit Rev. T. C. Cleveland, son of Rev. T. P.
