New HAVEN, Sept. Is.

New HAVEN, Sept. IS.
VIM. johnson, a coiored man, who is a
fugitive from justice, came back TO Walling-
ford last night and murdered his wife, who
was stopping at Mr.. Smiths, about a mile
north of the centre of the town. Johnson's
wife and two children have been living at
Smiths for some time. About midnight
johnson broke into the house and taxing an
axe went up stairs where his wife and two
children were sleeping. Another colored
man named Jackson was sleeping in the front
room. johnson first struck him and then
turned for his wife, who started down stairs.
At the bottom she fell and Johnson then
struck her on the head with the axe.
Another colored man named Wormsley
was sleeping in the front room down stairs
and and William B. Smith and his wife were
sleeping in another room down stairs, Smith
was awakened by the noise and so was
Wormsley. Wormsley saw johnson coming
toward him and rushed through the door with
johnson following him. Smith by this time
had secured gun and started after johnson,
but he made good his escape.
jackson about this time came down stairs
and rushed out of doors and was not seen
again until about six o'clock this morning,
when he returned to the house a horrible
looking sight The right side of his head was
pounded TO jelly, his right eur nearly gone
and his head completely covered with blood.
His right eve was entirely closed and his head
swollen to double its normal size. Smith and
Wormsley came down town to notify the
authorities and while they were gone Mrs.
Smith says that johnson returned and
again struck his wife to make sure of killing
her.
Smiths wife was frightened and ran out of
the house and johnson afterwards came out
and ran across the lots toward the railroad,
since which time he has not been seen. The
medical examiner was notified and visited the
scene, and ordered the body to be removed
to the up town hall TO await the action of the
coronr. Smith says the whole transaction
did not occupy more than five minutes. All
the adjoining towns were telegraphed to look
out for the murderer. johnson is a short
and rather slim negro and has been in Jail
several times for various offences.
johnson was arrested at North Haven by
constables Austin and Boyden of Wallingford
and was brought to the Jail in this city A
hearing will be had ON Tuesday.
