Hefiin, of Alabama, and the officials
Of the Government Printing Office are
wondering today who is the man named
Johnson Mr.. Heflin thinks insulted and
later tried to assault him.
The trouble was caused BY fast
running automobile, which almost ran
down Mr. Hehin and Representative
ollie James. of Kentucky, on street
last evening. Johnson was an oceu-
pant of the auto, which was being run
by John NJ. Dickson, an automobile
liveryman, The Riggs House encounter
followed the episode on the street, and
was brought about by Johnson. There
are dozen or more Johnsons in the
Government printing plant. each OF
whom denies that he was the autoigt
All the Johnsons underwent a rapid
fire of char from their associates this
morning. and are consequently very
anxious TO find out who the real John
sen is.
In the meantime Mr.. Hefiin is slowly
recovering from the fright he received
when the whizzing gas buggy sailed so
close TO his toes that it sprinkled his
shoes with fine dust nicely mixed with
petrol and lubricating oil.
