L. JOHNSON CLEARED OF LARCENY CHARGE Grand Jury Returns No Bill Agn’imt Negro Nominated Re- cordsr of Deeds by President. B R ANT A, November 16.—Investi- gation of a bill charging larceny after trust against Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro, republican national committee- | man from Georgla, and recently nomi- nated by President Harding to be recorder of deeds in the District of Columblia, resulted late yesterday in a no bill being returned by the Fulton county grand jury. The charge against Johnson, it was stated, was the outgrowth of a tran- saction in 1917, when A. G. Taylor, a negro doctor, employed Johnson as his attorney pending the settlement of his wife's estate. Taylor alleged he gave Johnson a check for $195.66 to be de- posited as security for bond, and that Johnson cashed the check and refused to refund the money. Johnson is sald | to have retained the money as a fee. Buying Xmas Furs Now Many are making de- posits on Xmas Furs at this time.
