TZ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNE 4 1%, HIS DEAD WIFE AVENGED. Killing the Man whe Ruined His Home d Happiness. CAPT. E. T. JOHNSON’S TRIAL FOR THE MURDER OF MAJOR EDWIN HENRY—THE SEQUEL TO A DOMESTIC TRAGEDY THAT WENT TO EVERY BODY'S HEART—THE FIRST TESTIMONY. The trial of Capt. E. P. Johnson for the mur- der of Major Edwin Henry, which occurred at Haysville, Green county, Tenn.,about 11 o'clock on the morning of the 23d of September last, has been tn progress for some days at Green- Ville, Tenn. A telegram from that place to the N. Y. Sun says: Capt. Johnson came here from Indianapolis early in 1883. He had been for many years a successful lawyer in that clty, and had accumulated a fortune. He was also noted for some ingenious literary works, prominent among which was""A Defense of Judas Iscariot, which attracted much attention, In addition to this, he was in great favor as_a political ora- tor. Although not more than 40 years of age, his health gave way under hard work, and he accepted the office of special agent of the Pen- sion burean, with headquarters here in Green- ville, in the hope that the change of climate and surroundings would be beneficial tohim. He brought with him his wife, a woman somewhat ounger than he, and strikingly handsome. Ehe came oran excellent Indianapolis family, and was as Intellectual and accomplished assbe Was beautiful. The captain himself was aman of distinguished appearance, having a remark- ably scholarly and thoughtful face, while in his manners he was quiet and courtedus. Both he and his wife became at once very popular here. ‘They boarded at the best hotel, where also lived Major Edwin Henry, who been here for some years, but who had a wife and family in New York. ’ Major Henry was much older than either Capt. Johnson or Capt. Johnson's wife, being considerably over 50. THE WIFE'S CONFESSION AND SUICIDE. Capt. Johnson’s duties called him away from Greenville frequently, and Major Henry and Mrs, Jobnson were thrown much together. They became criminally intithate. In the graphic and touching letters which Mrs. Jobn- son wrote to her husband begging to be re- stored to his favor after he had found out. her crime, she averred that Henry had gained his influence over her through mesmerism. It was not until the autumn, and atter Mrs. Johnson had returned to her home in Indianapolis, that her husband’s suspicions were aroused. He communicated with her and wrang from her a full contession in the series of pitiful letters just referred to, and which were afterward given to the newspapers for publication. _In November, 1883, Capt. Johnson went to Indianapolis. He arrived there on the evening of Thanksgiving day, and went atonce to his home, where he came in unannounced to his agonized wile. ‘That there was a terrible scene between the two 4s well known, though its details have never been revealed, except that Mrs. Johnson again renewed her’ heartrending appeals to be re- stored to favor, and that Cupt. Johnson refused her any hint of consolation. He toid her that he intended to place her in some institution for treatment. He would not remain under the same roof with her, but went to a hotel. He never saw her alive again after he leit her sob- bing and moaning in utter despair in her room that night. The next morning she was found lying on her bed, all dressed in her white bridal robes and stone’ dead, with a pistol shot fired by her own hand through her heart. By her side lay her husband’s picture, and near it the pistol with which she had killéd herself, Not a breath of the scandal had so far reached Indianapolis, and, as Capt. Johnson and his wite had always lived happily togother for aught anybody knew, he had at first no dimeafty fm convincing people that his wife had killed herself while laboring under tem- porary insanity. After a time, however, queer Stories began to be whispered about. It was hinted that the Johnson household was not so happy, as had been supposed; that under the captain’s quiet, courteous exterior he con- cealed a cruel and malicious dispositjon. Then a letter came to light which showed that there certainly was a quarrel of some kind between the man and wile at the time of the latter's death. It began to be said that Capt. Johnson had driven his wife to suicide by harsh treat- ment. It was even broadly hinted that he might have murdered her himself. The dead woman's father believed these stories and be- came extremely bitter toward Captain Jobn- son. For a long time the captain bore all this, standing vilification and the contempt of men unmurmuringly, that his dead wife’s honor Might not be suilied, hen, however, his father-in-law began a suit against him which involved his relations ‘with his late wife, the truth wasat last dragged out of the unhappy man, and he told all the story of his wrongs. Not content with ruining the woman, it came out that Henry had pur- sued her to Indianapolis, and had repeatedly tried to obtain an interview with her there. Capt. Johnson's son, who knew of his mother’s disgrace, on one occasion saw Henry skulking about the house, and ran to get his gun. When he returned with it Henry had got away, thus saving his life, for young Johnson would surely have Killed him. In addition to this the letters from Mrs. Johnson, fully confessing her guilt, ame out, and, though their pathos touched every heart, everybody's sympathy went back to the afflicted husband. THE HUSBAND'S VENGEANCE. Capt. Johnson soon after this was transferred, athis own request, from Tennessee to Louis- jana, and, with the fifteen-year-old son,Griffith, the one who attempted to kill Henry in India- napolis, went to New Orleans to live. People thought then that the tragedy was over, for, although Johnson had repeatedly threatened to kill Henry, it was not believed he would ever earry out his threat. Time, however, instead of healing the wound, only made it'more ag- gravated, until Johnson could endure the agony no longer. In September of last_ year, ten months after the suicide of his wife, Capt. John- son came back here. Henry heard of his ar- rival and sneaked away to the mountains to keep out of danger. Johnson hunted for him industriously. On the 22d of September he heard that Henry was in the vicinity of Hays- Ville, a little town several miles away. Te hired acolored man that night to drive him twelve miles into the country in the direction of Haysville. He carried with him a double- barrelled shotgun wrapped in a blanket, and which the colored man said he supposed was fishing tackle. In the dead of the night of the 22d Johnson ‘came to a barn near Haysville, and slept there until morning. Soon after getting up he learned that Henry could prob- ably be found in a certain store in. Haysville, and he immediately set out forit. He walked rapidly through the little village street until he caine (o the store. Here he stopped and walked twice up and down in front of it with his gun in hishand. This, he said afterward, was to ena- ble Henry to come out and meet him. He had twice before while he was hunting his man had 4h opportunity to shoot him inthe back, but would not doit. Finding that Henry did not ome out of the stone he went in. Henry start. ed toward him, drawing a revolver, when Johne ‘on fired one barrel of his gum. The buckshot struck Henry in the side. With a groan of ony he spun half around, when Johnson. let 0 the other barrel. This ’time he hit He: squarely on the side of his head,which was hi torn off. He dropped stone dead. His revolver Was found half way out of his pocket. So close together haa the two men stood that Henry's clothes were scorched by the fire from the gun, Jobnuson was much excited, but In full. posses. sion of jis fenses. Raising his still smoking gun to his lps, he kissed it passionat and handed it 6 a bystander, cee “Thank God,” he said, “m; jous svenged at last.” a, “my preci hed ie then requested to be taken to . stable's house near by, where he formally gave himself up. “W hat ought to be done,” he asked as he did $0, with a inan who ruined a 1f004 woman if law did not pun: im. good wife; Where is she now? a BAG 8 goed wile, lohnson when brought here as a priso yrss given an ovation, the people almost carts ing him on their shoulde is sad story was Well known, and the sympathy for him was Rrofound. | Henry had been ostracized among lecent people from the time his infamous com duet became known. Already two letters have been read in the trial which show how he pur. sued the woman.

The prosecution had mae nounced that they would prove Johnson to be a desperate character, but failed to do and this testimony at the opening of the de. tense on Friday had a strong effect, tor the wit nesses who testified to Johnson's high character Were such men as John C.

Captain son's chief counse nal indiana : tor Voorhees, of yhat drove Johnson to frenzy and prect tated the shooting was the fact that Heer hol not only been bousting of his intimacy with Mrs. Johnson, but had defamed her character in other Ways, saying that she had deceived her hus- before he (Henry) knew her. There was no foundation whatever for this assertion, and it increased the general indignation toward the Mifhe fourth dag of the t tal loped e fourth day of the trial devel the fact that the prosecution was dis) to exelude everything in the way of evidence it possibly could. The defense was also outlined” ‘porary insanity, produced and devel phe jntense agohy of a sensitive mind, shat- tered by the triple blow of misfortune, a’ home defiled, false and unmerited accusations, and a foul and baseless slander of the dead, will be Pleaded and, the defense says, proved. "” | CONGRESSMAN PETTIBONE A WITNESS, Major Pettibone, of Greenville, member of Congress from the frst district of Tennessee, was the first witness sworn. He testified as to Johnson's actions during the past year, leay- ing the inference that bis mind was stunned and reason dethroned by his sufferings. Major Pettibone had ‘attempted. the role of peace- maker and tried to rate Johnson and Henry, so no further tragedy should ensue, but Johnson was so violent and uncontrollable, and so evidently griefstricken and aberrated on this subject, that he could do little with him. Upon reading a letter written by Max. Jobnson from Knoxville to Major Henry, and which Major Pettibone had recovered Henry, in which she announced her intention of leaving for Louisville, Capt. Johnson broke fompletely down at the underscored words: “I will be there until the latter part of the week.” He seemed utterly crushed and cried, “Oh, my God! Is it possible? Is it possible?” ahd aloud in his y- This was the Sunday be- tore the Tuesday’ on which eccurred. be Judge A. B. Wilson testified that the day be- fore the homicide Capt. Johuson came into his office with # handful of Indianapolis 3 threw them on the table, and sald: "Take these papers and read them; f can’t. That damned old hellion says my wile was the seducer and he the innocent victim.” His excitement and nervousness were excessive. Henry V. Sevier, of the Knoxville Chronicle, saw Capt, Johnson on the day previous to Henry's death, and described his actions, ehar- acterizing them as those ofa man in a hight, nervous, convulsive state, alternating witl great depression of spirits and despondency. A PLEA OF INSANITY INTRODUCED BY THE DEFENSE. A telegram from Greenville, Tenn., June 15, says: A verdict will not be reached probably before next Monday. Expert testimony as to the insanity of the defendant was introduced today. Dr. M. B. Taylor, who was Johnson's family physician for two years, testified that he believed Johnson to be insane on the subject of his family troubles, and gave reasons showing why it would inerease until the object in view wax culminated. M. C. Williams, a friend of both parties, testified that Henry told Alm Mrs. Jobnson had made advances to him and in- vited him to her room. Witness made these facts known to Capt. Johnson on the Sunday previous to the homicide, and they seemed to cause terrible excitement, and probably did mueh to hasten the nation of the deed. Another witness testified that he went to Capt. Johnson soon after reports of his wife’s intl mnacy with Henry becaine Known and urged him to do something to prevent, them getting circulated. Johnson indignantly remarked: “It's a lie! My precious little wite is too much of a lady for anything of that sort, Ideal Tea. HOW THE BEVERAGE SHOULD RE BREWED TO MAKE IT PALATABLE. Wong Chin Foo in the Cook. Use a china or a porcelain pot.

A year ago Andrew Craig, a young Scotch- man employed in the Crane drift at Bogota Mine, Pennsylvania, was returning ina carriage froma pienie in company with Ella McGarry, a young woman to whom he was engaged to be married. As they approached the mine railroad crossing near the opening of the drift, a trip of cars appeared around a curve on their way into the mine opening. Miss MeGarry asked Craig to stop the horse until the cars had d, but he thought he could easily cross the track before they got near, and whipped up the horse. He had miscalculated the speed of the cars, and as the carriage was drawn on the track’ the cars struck it. Miss MeGarry was hurled against the rock at the opening of the mine and instantly killed. Craig was thrown into the opening of the tun- pel, and escaped injury. When he learned that his’ affianced was dend he blamed himself for her death, and attempted to put an end to his life by thrusting a knife into his breast. The in- Jury Was not fatal. He never went to work after the casualty, ‘and continually brooded over the death of his sweetheart, declaring that he was her murderer. A constant watch was Kept upon him by his friends, but on Monday he escaped from his father’s house, and going to the spot where Miss McGarry was killed, se- ereted himself behind a clump,of bushes. When the mine train on its way from the dump back to the mine arrived at the fatal crossing, Craig sprang from his hiding place and threw himself in front of it, and was cut to pieces, He was 25 years old. ee pegs A Bishop's Experience with Women. From the Pall Mall Gazette, The late bishop of Lincoln sought and ob- tained what has been called the one compensa- tion of growing old. He stood in special need of that restful sympathy which women know how to give, which good women will give when they feel that it is valued, but which men can neither give nor take away, Yet he learned by experience that even this rose is not thornie: In particular be found that the art of instru ing and correcting women without alfronting them is not easily acquired. ‘So far from being a dissembler or even a self effacer, he was in reality somewhat over-frank. He was visited by a young lady who wrote well, but who, in his opinion, talked less well. He resolved to admonish her of this defect; but in- stead of trying in any of the thousand-and-one possible ways to hint, while commending her writing, that more was now expected of her dis- course—laudando preecipere, os Bacon would have said—he embarrassed her by the blunt 1¢- buke: “Your conversational utterances are fee- le.” The following abridgment of an account which he gave of his meeting an American Foung lady at a foreign table Whote reproduces is characteristic sayings almost, if not quite, vertabim: “she was only 19, but she knew everything. She told me the exact amount of affection which the Princess C— has for her future husband, and she gave me a full account of the divorce laws in all the states of America. She appealed to me some times ; of course I agreed. Atlast she asked whether I did not think she could write a book, and I told her that she was the most ignorant girl I ever met ! But I took care to say so in such a way that she couldn't mind it.” ——+ —+e0______ A Crazy Brass Band. From the Philadelphia Times, A brass band composed of insane inmates of the Norristown asylum paraded yesterday about the ground, wearing uniforms for the firsttime. They were very proud of their re- galia, and when they passed in review of the trustees and Physician-in-Chief Chase the luna- tie who played the big bass horn blew harder, and the fat cymbal player, who imagines he owns the state of Pennsylvania, clapped the cymbals with all his might, while the man who beat the bass drum thumped away as if he were trying to knock the drum head in, ‘The upizorms are similar to those worn by United States troops. When the band stopped playing for want of breath, the lunatics all jooked at their uniforms and’ smiled proudly. In front of the main building, where the review took place, there is a circular carriage drive, about fifty yards In clreumference. ‘The musi: cians tramped around this drive for three-quar- ters of an hour, playing “A Boy’s Best Friend Is His Mother” ahd “Go to Sicep, My Baby.” ‘They playedcontinuously, switching off from one tune to the other. When Dr. Chase showed bis approval the ingane | musicians looked prouder than ever, and when they finally went away to the rear of the buildings they Hib g pompous step. still playing “A Loy's Best Friend fs His Mother.” Their playing was above the average, and they played with great zest. It was only when their instruments were taken from them that they became unhappy and{rritable. Dr, Chase said that the treatment was Very beneficial, and that two of the band that had been violent patients had been re- stored to a pacific state of mind through the in- iluence of the music they playe The Cleada. | BY HENRY PETERSON.
