years ago. was IN Vernon a few days
ago. He IS missing from Vernon
and there arc many who knew tho
boy who now recognize the body as
that of Luther Johnson.
Rev. Thomas Discovery
Yesterday Rev. sobe Thomas, Of
soodnight college. visited the morSue

CHANGED to meet ex-sherlff Bellsh
who was on his way from Clayton
N. NJ, to a point on the Pecos Valley
nnes. Mr.. Thomas influenced the
sheriff to visit tho morgue and Mr.
BsIlah recognized the face at once.
Mayor Miller was Immediately
summoned and IN Che presence Of
few witnoses the body was again
identified. u knew the boy well, :"

saw him in September at Vernon
and talked over his plans with him."
Party to Yantis.IOhnsOn Killing
After ex-sheriff Bellah had idenh-
lied the boy several other childreSs
peopls came who knew and knew his
history. Luther johnson. the only
son Of TIM man Johnson, killed by
All Yants at chIldresS several years
ago. The boys mother died
when he was an infant
and he had grown up in a
rough and tumble way. with no fixed
homo an dno careful training. Ills
father was = lahoring man who
worked at various places and Of no
eessity left the boy wherever he
oomd. Az tho time Of tho killing,
Luther Johnson had been employed
in the hotel OF which Al yautis was
the proprietor. A pair Of cheap
cuff buttons were missing from tho
hotel under circumstances which
pointed strongly TO Luther johnson
az the thief, Yantis deducted their
valve from tho boys wages. Luther
complained 10 his father Of this treat
ment and the father took up the mat
ter with yantis. During an altercs-
ton over the disputed money, Ysntis
shot and Killed the elder johnson.
The boy was one OF the chief witt
nesses and several other prominent
citizens OF childress we're also wit.

Phone Call From Childress
Even IL Messrs. Thomas and Bel
lah had not identified the boy, It
seems likely that other forces al
ready at work would have resulted
in the Identification today Last
night W. n, Fuuua received phone
calls from prominent citizens Of
chiidFsss who had thought tllat Luz

The authorities at Childress wonld
