Palmer, the landlady, to whom she
made known her suspicious. Mrs.
Palmer went to Mrs. wagner's room,
armed with a revolver. and the two
women entered Merrithew's room to-
gether.

grappIed with the women and hurting
them aside, broke out of the room.
Mrs. Palmer might have killed him. but
she hesitated to use her weapon.

right to kill him. she said afterward

when they saw the disheveled woman
with the revolver pursuing the man
that they were witnessing the close
of domestic quarrel, but they closed
in on Johnson and held him.
Mrs. Wagner explained the situation
and went back to the house with the
officers. Johnson was searched and
found to have on him. besides the two
suits, a shaving outfit, several lodge
emblems and other trinkets. He con-
fessed to the one burglary and was
locked up. He said he came from Dem
