who was charged with the murder Of
his little cousin, Della Johnston, at

verdict generating Johnston after be-

tragedy Mrs. George Johnston was out
quite late attending a lodge meeting,

sistently asserted his innocence.
No reason was ever set forth why
any one should break into the house
to murder an 8-year-old girl. John
ston's defense was that he had many
enemies, and the assassin probably
mistook the child for him in the dark
ness.
