HUSBAND
FR|GHTENS
H|SSPOUSE

A 2o-year- husbands pretension
at suicide to scare his 1syear-old
wife, with whom he lived for seven
months. into loving him like in the
days of their honeymoon was the mo-
tive for little family drama at 307
Logan street yesterday afternoon with
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Johnson as the
principals. Captain Rimbach, who
went to the scene with Officer Treinen
gave the children fatherly lecture
and chalked up another score in his
blue book for having patched up fam
lily troubles.
Judging from the story that Mrs.
Johnson, who was formerly Miss Bes-
sic lands, told the police officers that
the waves on their marital seas fire.
quently broke high and often strained
the chords of conjugal bliss to the
breaking point. Apparently the matri-
monial ship had drifted into another
storm period, as Prof. Hicks, the
weather prognostigator, would say
and rather than permit it to founder
on the rocks of the divorce court Mr..
Johnson, the captain or first mate,
whatever his position is, reported to
near heroic measures.
1t was about o'clock in the aft
ernoon when Mrs. Johnson, calling
over the telephone from her mothers
home, failed to receive an answer from
her husband. She decided to go home
to make investigation and to her
horror discovered her husband lying
on the bed doubled up by spasmodic
pains and the poison which he had
apparently taken still dripping from
, his mouth Attempted suicide was
her conclusion, and like humane
spouse she summoned a physician to
apply the stomach pump. Much to her
surprise. however, Mr.. Johnson inter
fered with any such procedure. leaving
the impression with her that he was
determined to die. As for Mr.. John
son he knew 1T would be rather hard
for him to explain his action to the
doctor, and that accounts for his reluc.
lance to meet the professional man
Mrs. Johnson finally gained the up
per hand and summoned both the ply
stefan and the police.
