MAN GIVING’ NAME AS ARTHUR JOHNSON; NILES RECEIVES INFORMATION Arthur Johnson, now an inmate of the Good Samaritan hospital at Los Angeles, Calif., is confidently believed to be Enslow Sawyer, wanted here on a charge of arson |and jumping bond of $3,500. Information was first received from a woman who saw the man in the hospital. She recognized the similarity between Johnson and a picture of Sawyer published in one of the detective magazines published in New York. She wrote Sheriff Niles who im- mediately sent finger prints of Sawyer and photographs . to. the chief of police in Los Angeles, and is awaiting a reply. In the meantime the chief of police of the California city wrote the sheriff and the letter was re- ceived Sunday. In this he en- closed a photograph of Johnson, taken while in a cct in the hos- pital, which is a perfect likeness of Sawyer, and is easily recognized at a glance. The story accompanying the picture tells of Johnson and 14 companions working in an aque- duct near Los Angeles. Johnson slipped, grasped an electric light cerd, popped it and plunged the aqueduct in total darkni Johnson and his companions slid 300 feet to the bottom of the tube, While a number were more or less painfully injured, none of the working crew was killed. Soon after Johnson was taken to the hospital he was identified as pos- sibly being Sawyer and the in- formation sent the sheriff.
