Al- though protesting his innocence at first, Johnson was positively identified @arly to-day by Anson Sener of Ne 450 Riverside Drive as the iscovered in his nights ago. A small watch bearing the initials ‘A. M. C."’ found in John- fon'’s pocket was identified as one stolen from her by Miss Alice M.

Johnson, wanted by the police since the start of the long series of second story jobs four months ago, has been defying arrest for some time, but last 8 twenty-six years inches tall and man he apartment several night, under dramatic conditions, De-| tective Davis, from the West 100th Street Station, ran across the massive Negro at Amsterdam Avenue and 64th Street. Realizing that empty-handed he would be no match for the huge Negro, Davis drew his pistol and held ft close to Johnson's body. “Step into this hallway a minute, Johnson," ordered the detective. Johnson started to protest. The gun barrel sunk deeper into his ribs. He finally obeyed. As Davis, cover- ing Johnson with his pistol in one hand, searched him with the other, thirty or forty Negroes, presumably friends of the prisoner's, gathered. ‘Threats were shouted against the de- tective, and just as the Negroes were closing in upon Davis and his pris- oner, about twenty white taxi chauf- feurs, who recognized Davis as a de- fective, edged their way to him and oner about twenty white tax! chauf- feurs acted as a bodyguard while — marched his prisoner to a patrol Out of Sing Sing eight months on Parole, the police say Johnson uctual- ly worksd four months as a carpen- ter and then started on his rampage of second-story jobs. When asked if he ever carried a gun, Johnson smiled and remarked, the police say: “No, sir; 1 never found no use for ® gat. J didn't want to kill anybody, and, besides, if 1 got caught with a gun, that meant twenty years.” After Mr. Sener had hurried to the station and identifed Johnson as the man “ne surprised robbing his apart- ment, Johnson, the police say, con- fessed many robberies of apartments on the Prive and along West End SHE IS SENT BACK TO ENGLAND, BUT FAMILY ADMITTED Avenue, He boasted, the police say, that he made it a point to rob two apartments a night and was living in luxury off the sale of his loot. Johnson will be arraigned in West Sido Court later to-day, where it is believed scores of persons robbed re- cently will appear in an effort to identify jewelry and other loot found in Johnson's apartments. In explaining how he entered the different apartments, Johnson told the police that he always found it easy to seale the walls via porches and fire escapes and that he always left his automobile standing handily in case of the need of a quick getaway. a ACCUSE “HAIRPIN KING” ON ALIMONY CHARGE Rich Manufacturer 85,000 Behind, Wife 5) TRENTON, N.
