C0[ORED PASTOR SUED
FOR AL|MONY BY Wife
W. Bishop Johnson Ordered to
Show Cause Why He
Should Not Pay.

w. Bishop johnson, pastor Of the Sec
ond Baptist Church. colored. Sd street
northwest, between H and I streets, has
been cited by Justice Stafford to show
cause Friday. January q. why he should
not be required to pay alimony to his
wife. Gertrude A. johnson.
The rule against the pastor was based
on petition for maintenance filed by the
wife through Attorney Irving Williamson.
Mrs. johnson tells the court that her hus-
band offers to pay her only $15 a month
out Of an income of about 500. which.
she says. he receives.
In 1893 the couple agreed, according to
a letter filed with the papers, on q
monthly allowance of $50 to the wife, but
December II last the pastor wrote his
wife saying that the amount agreed on
was for her and the children. LAS the
children have grown to men and women
and are seH-supporting," wrote the pas
tor, Il shall not after today pay the $50,
but will give you SIS. 1 should not be
called on to support men and women.
The amount I am willing to pay is for
your support"
This letter was followed by another
January II, 1910, addressed to Mrs john
son at 72O 9Th street northeast, which
reads: Since you did not call for check
as usual. I am sending it by registered
mall
When the check was received 1t was
returned by Attorney Williamson with
the Information that court proceedings
would be commenced. The pastor was
also advised that his wife's age and con-
dition of health made 1t impossible for
her to support herself on $15 a month
In her petition Mrs.. Johnson tells the
court she is fifty-seven years old and in
infirm health. The couple were married
February 20, 1879 and lived together
until August, 1898. They have three chill
dren, the son and one daughter being
married and the other daughter a teacher
at Tuskegee, Ala.
In August, 1893, Mrs. Johnson says. her
husband made the charge that she had
threatened to kill him with hatchet,
and although the charge was false, she
declared, he used 1t as a pretext for leav-
ing her and the children. She declares
the pastor had become tired OF her and
his family, and desired to escape the
restraint of home life"
Rev. Mr.. Johnson's income. according to
his wife, comprises a salary OF 1925 as
pastor. and a profit from a correspondence
school of which he Is manager or
treasurer, she AYERS. Besides this, the
pastor is the author OF two books. and
delivers numerous lectures from which he
is in receipt of many emoluments, Mrs.
Johnson declares.
