Husband of an Actress Caused Sensation ~
Shooting Himself Through the Heart.

SPOKANE, Wash. May 21.-A sensational
suicide occurred in the municipal court
room here yesterday afternoon. Frank +.
johnson. husband of an actress, was the man
who killed himself. Early Saturday morn
ing a policeman met johnson driving to-
ward the Boulevard Hotel. The man acted
In peculiar III amer and the officer stopped
and questioned him. johnson said that he
was trying to see his wife. who was staying
at the hotel. The officer, on search ing him,
found revolver, and Johnson was arrested
and taken to police headquarters. where
he was placed under bond To appear before
Judge Miller later in the day. He failed to
appear. bnt his wife. Mary A. johnson,
came TO headquarters and swOre out war
rant for his arrest, charging him with
threatening her life. He was again ar
rested and taken to Judge Miller's court.
Several policemen. the city attorney and
many spectators were in the court room..
when Johnson was told TO standup.
Are you guilty or not guiltyW asked the
Judge
johnson did not reply. but pulled O re-.
volver from his pocket. put il to his left
side and shot himself through the heart.
The Tragedy caused profound sensat ton.
Johnson's wife is variety actress and is at
present employed at the Louvre Theater as
singer. She goes under the name of Alice
Hamilton. which johnson said was her
maiden name. Friday she filed a suit for
divorce against him. She left him several
months ago and his visit 20 Spokane was TO
get her to 20 back with him. which she re-.
fused TO do. Ii Is believed her refusal aud
the divorce suit drove him to suicis.e. Upon
his person was found q large dirk knife.

dozen skeleton key s of all kinds and "a pair
OF nippers TO reach into a lock and turn it.

ISLANDERS with impuDity. The affray at
Danville had its inception in an unnec-
essary assault upon the character of
Brown by the man who is now his victim
under cover of his profession. Fortu-
nately, this custom of abusing the other
side is not countenanced by the most
successful lawyers. Intelligent jurors
and the intelligent part of the COM
munity have come TO the conclusion
that the attorney who argues by epithet
either has no case or has not the capac-
ity to present to a jury its merits in u
manner 10 convince fair-minded men.
The affair is disgraceful in ali it's as
poets. and coming SO soon after the
Lawrence and jackson county lynch
ings it will tend TO Justify the opin-
ion entertained in some quarters
that Indiana ia an exceptionally
