 to Meno Moore Case.

Valparaiso, Ind.-Albert Johnson of Warren, Ohio, was shot and instantly killed in barn in the rear of the Glissman hotel at Kouts. Ind, a resort on ehe kankakee river. by Jacob Walters, a wealthy Indanian
 Johnson came to Kouts a year ago and met Mrs. Walters a dancing par ty. It was a case of mutual admira- ton and Johnsons attentions be- came so marked as to excite con- ment. Walters threatened to kill Johnson if he did not cease his atten- tons to his wife. The couple con- unued to meet constantly.
 Walters spied his wife coming from barn in the rear of the hotel. and sezing shotgun he entered the building. He found Johnson hiding in corner and fired two shots Walters gave himself up to a deputy sheriff and coroner's verdict rendered the killing justifiable
 The case is peculiarly similar to that of Menlo Moore, who was ac- qultted last week of murdering Chas. Edward Gibson.
