Johnson, for sixteen years postmaster
of Ivor and a Confederate veteran, cut
his wifc's throat. Drained her with an
with n shotgun at their home this
| morning at o'clock.
The tragedy occurred at the Johnson

O'Clock. and. seizing his wife. slashed
her several times about the neck with
razor. He then struck her over the
head with All aX. and. retiring to the
front yard. placed the barrel OF his
shotgun in his mouth and pulled the
trigger.
The murder and suicide had only one
witness-the colorrd cook OF Mrs r.

arrived on the scene In time to see the
hN welded and the gun fired. She
knew nothing OF the incidents that led
UP 10 the killing, and neighbors are
unable to account for the act except
on the theory Of temporary insanity
Last summer MIR. Johnson suffered a
stroke of paralysis, but apparently had
recovered. The loss of II small invest :

been sufficient to lead to the commits

telling Of her husbands peculiar ac-
tions. and asking him to visit her. that
