HANG MAN WHO
 KILLED BREWER
DEATH MOOSE SLIPS AND
 VICTIM LIVES HOUR
5. L. Johnson Who Slew Cave City Young Man Pays Pen- alty on Gallows

Port Gibson, Miss, Sept. G. $. l.. Johnson, alias Peter Brick son, slayer of Elston Brewer of Cave City, Ark, who was hanged here this morning, liv- ed for an hour after the trap was sprung at II o'clock by Sheriff s. H. Bagnell. The moose slipped and the knot twisted from behind one of the condemned mans ears to point behind his head. John son choked to death.
 In his cell at the county jail early this morning he told the Rev. T. c. Summers that he had made peace with his God and was ready to die. He said he regretted the life he had led and the trouble he had brought upon his parents. When the time for execution arrived Johnson mounted the scaffold unaided and stood erect. He refused to make a statement. At II o'clock the trap was sprung. Physicians pronounced Johnsaon dead at 12 o'clock.
 Johnson was convicted in Warren County, Mississippi. He was charged with killing Brewer to obtain possession of a houseboat on which the men had travelled down the Mississ- ippi river. The evidence showed that he put the body in a sack weighted down with stones and threw it into the river, and that shortly after Brewers death Johnson telegraphed Brewers father for $50, signing Brew CTS name to the message. Be- fore he received an answer the body had been found floating in the river and Johnson was arrested, charged with the crime.
 On a change of venue John son was again convicted in the Warren County Court after his conviction in the Claiborne County Court had been revers- ed on the ground that incom- petent testimony had been ad- mitted. An appeal was made to Governor Brewer after the second conviction. He granted "a 30-day stay of execution, but would not comute the sentence.
