Charred Trunk Of a Musician
Found in Furnace
FIRE DID NOT CONCEAL CRIME
Henry L. Johnson, Clarionetist, in
the Band and Who Saved His
Money and Loaned it at High
Rate of Interest Murdered.
CONTINUED on page 81

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, May
o-One of the most dreadful murders
ever committed in Washington was
perpetrated at Fort Worden last night
at band headquarters.
Some time during last night Henry
L. Johnson, first clarionetist of the
Sixth Artillery Band, was murdered
and his body dismembered and thrust
into the heating furnace in the base
ment of the soldiers barracks. Fire
was then started, evidently by the
perpetrator, in the hope of burning
the body and hiding the CHASTITY
crime.
This morning the charred body OF
the victim was dragged from the fire
by the firemen when they went to fire
up for the day. The remains were
burned past recognition, but were
identified as those Of Johnson from
fragments Of his band uniform which
adhered.
Notwithstanding the limbs were Sc
vered and the skull battered in, no
indications of the deed or blood traces
can be found about the building.
Johnson was known to have con-
siderable money, and loaned small
sums on interest to enlisted men,
James Holt, second cook n the band,
and Private Knight, both Of whom
were known to be in debt to Johnson,
quarreled with the murdered man last
night, and disappeared from the fort,
Both were caught hiding under the
wharf this morning, and we're ar
rested.
Indications point to robbery as the
motive for the crime.
Johnson, the murdered man, besides
being clarionetist, conducted cob,
bier shop at the fort, and being sober
and Industrious saved money and was
able to make loans to his comrades
at a high rate Of interest. Yesterday
was payday at the post, and as con-
sequence Johnson would be expected
to have large amount Of money.
