WARRANT IS OUT
FOR JOHNSON
Ex-sUPERINTENDENT OF THE
POOR is AGAIN INDICTED.
G. H. Brown Not Named in This In
dictment-It Is Thought Brown May
Return to Testify Against Former
Observation-Disclosures Are Arraigned
and Enter Pleas.

A new true bill has been returned
against W. H. johnson, former super
intendent of the poor, and the sheriff
office received a bench warrant for
Johnson this morning. The defend
ant is under bond already.
The fact that g. H. Brown, said to
have been Johnson's associate in his
alleged crooked work, is not named
in this new Indictment, is taken to-
indicate that the state is willing to
grant Brown immunity from prosecu-
ton if he will appear and testify
against Johnson. With this under
standing it is believed that Brown will
be present at the Johnson trial.
