JOHNSTON CUT A Big DASH
Gay COl0red Youth Pesed as Pen
sion Office Clerk.
Conrted Mrs. Thomas Daughter and
er-Held for False Pretenses.

John Johnston sat beside his counsel
in police Court yesterday listening TO the
testimony of the Thomas family as they
swora h:m Into the hands OF The grand
jury. John has another name which ne
occasionally uses, William Lancaster" ="
He is a tall eolnred man OF a burnt umber
complexion and decidedly bushy hair.
The charge against him is that OF OBJ
tanning money 10y false pretenses.
Last May Mis-. Thomas was so unfor-
tunate as TO get on car without the
necessary fare. A young man sitting
near gellantly proffered the necessary
nickel and was greeted by most cx-
preSsiye series of thanks. As the two
met several times after that Mrs Thomas
invited tee CLIO stranger To call at 13r
home. He was introduced TO her two
daughters as William Lancaster, clerk
iii the Pension office Mr.. Lancaster
proved TO be a most welcome visitor and
taking a decided interest in the eldest
daughter, promised her place in the
Pension Office, and even coached her for
the position.
One day the new friend of the family
appeared to be in great distress. He took
Mrs. Thomas aside. He was in the depth
of desperation. one thousand. eight hum
dred dollars intrusted in his care had been
stolen from his desk. He must make good
the deficit or stand disgraced in the eyes
of humanity. He already had S1,!SS.75.
Could she loan him the balance? Mrs
Thomas bad only SS.35, but gave this to
him. Soon afterward she found that the
Pension OFFICE CLERK was nothing more
than the proprietor OF Seventh-strcet en-
ployment bureau.
Yesterday she told all the facts to Judge
Eirnball, and the daughter oorrob0rated
her statements. Mr. Bailey, chief clerk
OF the Pension Office, testified that tlre
man on trial had never been employed
there. Everything looked so bad for the
frnposter that he declined TO testify and
was hello under $500 bonds for the grand
