had been brought rIp from No.1 station In
charge OF Policemen Toymen and Coch-
ran.
This morning he was mea sured by
the BcrtiHion system by Detective Clerk
'Gorrnan ard Policeman Phillips lie meelsly
su bmittcd TO the process, and when
over, was taken in a patrol wagon to
Merritt's studio on Pennsylvania avenue
and there photographed for the rogues'
gallery.
Returning then to police court, Detective
Lacy sworc out a warrant charging hin,
with murder, and without further cere-
mony Judge Kiulball committed Johnson
to Jail until Tuesday. and he was taken
there in the Black Maria.
johnson was brought into court about
1 o O'Clock. Very few persons seemed to
know that Marshall s mur derer was in tha
room, but the news spread very Qu,ck!r
and there was a general craning OF
necks in the direction Of the prisoners pen
johnson appeared utterly indifferent to
his position. HIS deneHnor wasonc of non
chalunce, and he ceoily iossed at the crowd :,
returning their inquisitive looks with un
concerned and equally curious stsres.
He was seated in the midst OF q number
ef petty offenders, u one OF whom, Samuel
Montgomery, he bore remarkable re-
scmbiauce. yehuson was NOT represented
by counsel. When MS case was called and
the information read Detectives Weedon
and Lacy came hurriedly into the court
rcu.n and after few moments conversa-
ton with Judge KirDban, the case was
postponed until Tuesday.
The murderer sat down AGAIN, md after
o few TDamerts was quietly led below to
await tn. jail van. He was placed In the
Inidir.le cell. where nine other convicted
rnalefactor~ were confined There he was
the center of attraction, all his Companions
eyeins him closely. lie refused to enter
into conversation with anyone, and pulled
hts old slpnCh hat far over his eyes.
Just before the arrival of the van he
drew number OF clippings from his vest
and was deeply irterested in their contents
when the cell was unlocked and he W as
led forth.
The inquest over Marshalrs body will not
be continued until next Monday at 1
o'clock when the detectives VIII submit
their tes;tiuIor~, and upon the finding of
the jury Coroner Carr viii reCoTanlit John
son 10 jail TO await the action Of the
grand Jury which Will not meet until
octobcr, when he viii be indicted for
murder.
Before being taken to Jail the murderer
asked Detective Weldon to communicate
with his mother, Harriet johnson, who
lives at TuIlahonsa, Coffee county, Tenn.
Accordingly the detective wrote the old
lady a letter telling her in as mill terms
as possible Of her sons crime, his con.
fesSion and probable fate. Johns on says
that he has not been at home for several
years, but has traInped over a considerable
territory in the Northern States.
What other crimes, if any. he has com
ruitfed are not known. He denies being
Implicated in any Others, but if there are
any he will proba bly, confess them should
bis trial result in a sentence 20 hang.
About this there is some speculation.
The funeral of Mr.. Marshall, the muir
dered man, took place at IL O'Clock this
morning in the little chapel from Lees
undertaking esta ablishment, on Pennsylva-
mia avenue. There was a goOd-siZed crowd
present, many of them being friends OF
the deceased from his home, his neigh
boTs and relatives. Others were passers-
by and those drawn to the place through
curiosity. Interment was made at Glen
wood Cemetery.
Major Moore this afternoon issued a
general order, highly commencing Police
men Vermiilicn Curry and Bassford, of
the Fourth precinct, for their keen per
ception and attention To duty in cap
turing johnson and OBTAINING him on sus-
pioIon. The description sent out was
very meager, and had johnson once
hoarded the train and gotten across the
Long Bridge, it s probable that the murder
of John u. Marshall would forever have
remained mystery.
The general order also states that great
credit is due to the detectives who secured
the evidence which fastened the crime
uopn JohusoE and secured his confession
The work K of the police force throughout in
this case has met with general approvalan
