YEARS FOR BOTH PARENTS Johnsons Were at Odds and Little Richard Repeated Their Words. LIVED IN SAME HOUSE. Separated Now But Court Di- vides. Boy’s Vacation Time Between Them. How little Richard Benedict Johnson, | seven years old, has acted for the past| three years as a sort of home central station for conversations between his estranged mother and father was re- vealed to-day before Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum. Richard O. John- fon and his wife, Ethel G., have not spoken to each other in that time, al- though they continued until recently to maintain thelr home at N Rochelle. “My son, would you mind asking your mother if she has paid this month's grocery bill?" Johnson would request. “Richard, tell your father the bill hi been paid but that I need money for the coal ma Mrs. Johnson would reply through the little human switchboard. This @ of things existed until the husband and father decided that the home acmosphere was detrimental to his | gon and suggested sending the boy to a boarding school. The mother refused on the ground that he was too young and needed her care. Mr. Johneon took the boy away and put him In “The Gun- nery.” a school at Washington, Conn. Mrs. Johnson, in January last, got a writ of habeus corpus and had her soa brought before Justice Grenbaum, who tried to bring about # reconciliation without success. Although married for ten years the couple were firm in their determinal to separate. Mrs. John- son brought suit for separation on the grounds of cruelty and neglect and John- son retortéd with charges that his wife has no self-control and has beaten their boy cruelly at times, During the bearing the mother showed the court the following little letter from young Richard, written while at the boarding school: “Dearest Mamma: I am nice and warm at night and I have lots of covering over me, just like you put there at home. dn the day time I play with the other little boys, but I don't use words that you told not to, At nights I truly say my Prayers, just the ones you taught me, and I say then over and over, Give my love to the animals in the yard—the bunnie and guinea pl, and the kitties and doggies.
