son, an ex-soldier, enlisted the aid of
Dan Cupid to escape prosecution and
married Sadie Williams, a dance hall
habitue, whom he shot last October.
during fit of jealousy. he was held
to answer yesterday by Police Judge
Shortall on charge of assault with
deadly weapon, and must stand trial
in the Superior Court. The shooting
took place in one of the Pacific-street
dance halls and was the outcome of
Sadie's action in transferring her af-
fections to another man Johnson after
his arrest again won the woman's re-
gard and their marriage followed. AS
the law provides that a wife cannot
testify against her husband. ii seemed
almost certain that Johnson would
gain his liberty.
Policemen George Duffy and ]. 3.
O'Conner and Detectives Tom Gibson
and Steve Drummer testified for the
prosecution and without the testimony
of the wife were able to make out a
case. Judge Shortall fixed the bail at
$1,000.
