BECAUSE SHE SPURNS HIM
Alexander Johnson Angeret
When Attempts at Recon-
ciliation Fail.

Mrs. Alice Johnson. 26 years old,
No. 176 Harrison-aye., was shot five
times, by her husband, Alexander
Johnson, Jr., at Hazel-st. and Harri-
son.ave., Friday evening The man
had just completed a 90-days' SEN
tence in the House of Correction,
where he was sent for not supporting
his wife.
The woman is in Grace hospital, and
while she Is resting comfortably, she
Is not entirely out OF danger.
The shooting was the result OF an
attempt on the husbands part to rec
oncile himself with the wife and her
absolute -refusal to have anything 10
tdo with him. Since his release from
prison last Tuesday. he has made
strong efforts to rejoin her, but she
intimated that she is about, to seek
a divorce.
Friday night, he was so insistant
in his demands to see her and their
child that she finally agreed to meet
him at a moving picture show. She
brought the child with her. After the
performance, she started to walk
home and he walked with her, i'm
ploring her to take him back. He had
been drinking and whatever intention
the woman had OF living with him
again was turned aside by that tact
: Finally, angered by her refusal, he
turned upon her and fired five shots
from a revolver. Then he fed west or
Hazel-st. The police are looking fol
him.

statement that no effort had been
made to settle the case out OF court.

IS assisting Harrison Geer for the
defense. hesitated when asked If a
settlement proposition had been made.
II have been advised not To talk
about the case" he said. 49,
Mr.. Geer, on the other hand, Hike
Mr.. Frazer, denied that settlement
lad been mentioned.
Befo<e the taking of testimony was
begun, Attorney Rexford took the
stand to make an explanation in re-
gard to the testimony he gave q
couple of days ago. He said that in
stead of the register of the Hodges
louse in Pontiac, being in his posses
sion ever since he got II on May 30,
.911, 1t was in the hands OF Attorney
Charles l.. Bartlett, Kellogg's former
attorney, for one day.
Herbert A. Kline, of Flint, was the
first witness called by the plaintiff's s
counsel. He said that "Baba Del
Garrian," under which name Van
Nest former chauffeur for Kellogg,
made an affadivit that he registered
at the Hodges house, when accom-
panied by Mrs. Kellogg. July IL, 1910,
was associated with him in the
amusement business. Garrian and
his wife removed from Detroit to Pom
tiac on July II. 1910, and stayed for
a while in the Hodges house, the wit
ness said He was shown the regis
tration of del Garrian and wife,
which appeared on the Hodges house
register, July II. 1910 and he said he
was pretty sure IL was the writing OF
Mrs. Garrian.
Van Nest has since made another
affldavit repudiating the one in which
he said he and Mrs. Kellogg stayed
in the Hodges house.

INcEAD|ARIES BLAMED FOR
FIRE WHICH SWEEP SHOPS
At SCHMIDT'S BOAT HOUSE
Masts, Spars and Sails Of Craft
Stored There Destroyed;
Loss $4,000.
BOATS ARE NOT DAMAGED.
Work of Fitting Them Out,
Though, Will Be Held Back
as Result of Blaze.
BOATS ARE NOT DAMAGED.

Owners of the feet of boats, large
and small, which winter In Herman
Schmidts boat house, on the river,
just east OF Gladwin park, are going
to have the time OF their lives rigging
up their craft in the spring. as the re-
suit of a fire which swept through
the three shops, separate from the
boat house proper, at o'clock, Satur-
day morning.
Mr.. Schmidt and Albert Chatterton.
resident manager, both believe that
the fire was OF incendiary origin,
though neither of them knows of any
reason for setting the place on IRE.
The monetary damage amounts to
about $4,000, Schmidt says. OF that,
$4,000 represents Schmidt's personal
loss and the balance is on property
OF the boat owners. Schmidt carried
only $3.50 insurance on the shops and
contents.
A tangled. charred mass of over one
hundred masts and spars OF craft or
all sizes, from the little yawl rig to
the big yacht, with sails and tackle
for many OF the boats, lies in the shop
| or storage shed at the eastern ex-
tremity of the three sheds which were
| destroyed. The place is the saddest
| mess OF tangled wreckage which one
could imagine. Apparently not one or
the scores OF boats, wintering at
Schmidt's can be rugged out In the
| spring. without an entirely new set OF
rigging
In the middle shop, known as the
boat shop. the fire apparently origin
ated. A stove In that shop had not
been burning since last Thursday. In
the shop to the west, known as the
carpenter shop, big quantity OF
paints, oils, wood scraps and other
infiammable materials was stored.
There we're also q few spars and sails
there.
| Chatterson and some workmen had
been working there, Friday afternoon,
until $3.50 o'clock, while hauling out
boats for the winter. The stove had
no fire In 1t at o'clock. At 6:30
Chatterson went there to get some
lxindling for the stove In the boat
\ house proper, where he makes his
home and found everything all right.
There was no fire in any OF the three
shops.
At about O'Clock, Saturday morn
ing, Chatterson awoke with a start,
and noticed bright glare In the
rooms in which he was sleeping. Look
Ing out, he saw the shops, about 50
feet distant from the boat house
proper, In flames. He quickly notified
the fire department.
None of the boats was damaged,
the fire being confined to the shops.
But the work of furnishing entire new
rigging for a boat however small, Is
some task, and when the owners or
9le different boats peer into the stor-
age shed, where their spars and sails
and ropes and pulleys are mixed in a
tangled mass. there will probably be
some hysterical scenes.
All of the tools, paints and extra
fittings belonging to Schmidt and
Chatterson were destroyed
