GROCER WHO ATTEMPTED TO
COLLECT A BILL WITH AID
OF A REVOLVER
"Danqerous Precedent to Establish"
Remarked the Court, When He
Was Passing Judgment

Trying to collect a grocery bill with
the aid of a six-shooter proved a Sc
rious business with Walter Johnson,
a West Main street grocer, who was
bound over to the superior court in
Judge Huffman's court yesterday even
ing on a charge of assault with in
tent to murder J. S. Vinson.
The trial brought out a court room
full of spectators who eagerly follow
ed the testimony as it was introduced.
Vinson. the complaining witness, was
the first to tell his story, which was
tc the effect that he owed Mr.. john
ston to the sum of $500 for groceries.
Mrs. Johnston had visited him at the
Tausick ice plant, where he is employ
eG, Monday afternoon to collect the
amount, but he stood her off. Mon
day night Johnston and his wife went
to Wilson's residence in West Rose
street and made an effort to collect
the bill. Vinson said he told john
ston ne would pay the bill the coming
Saturday, but the grocer was not sat
flied with the promises and proceed
Ell to inform Vinson he was deadbeat,
mentionable. Mrs. Johnston took a
hand in the affair and cuss words flew
thick and fast, until Vinson reached
over the fence and slapped Johnston
i'll the face. Johnston whipped out a
six-shooter and Vinson made for the
house. A report rang out and a bull
let buried itself in the doorway over
WILSON'S head, as he lodged into the
house.
Mrs. Johnston Interfered
Johnston admitted that his revolt
we'd had went off, but he denied that ne
had any intention of injuring Vinson
further than to defend himself, from
what he believed to be a murderous
piled foul epitaphs to himself and
wife, and after striking him in the
face had attempted to wrench a pick
ct off a fence with which to nit him.
He drew his gun but Mrs. Johnston
jumped in and struck up his arm
which caused the weapon to explode.
Mrs. Johnston's testimony was along
the same lines.
The defense brought out the fact
that after the shooting Vinson had
gone to the woodshed and procured
an axe with which to renew the COM
bat if the opportunity was afforded.
After taking a shot at Vinson john
ston and his wife moved off down the
alleyway and then home on the adj
vice of Frank Tracy who had been at
tracted to the scene by the shooting.
In binding Johnson over to the higher
court Judge Huffman facetiously re-
marked that it would be dangerous
precedent to allow creditors to collect
their bills with the aid of gun.
