Washington, ID. c., January 10
The trial OF Clara Johnson and her
father, William johnson charged with
causing the death OF Sergeant Harry
Wilson of the detective force, on July
81, 1919 during the race riots, caused
much concern III al sections or the
city. Upon motion of the district at
torney the charge Of first degree muir
der against the father was ignored,
However, counsel for the defense
we're not allowed To use THIS fact TO
oppose the charge Of the government
that the girl shot the detective. The
young girl was tried on charge OF
first degree murder. rho jurors com
promised and Clara Johnson was found
guilty Of mansiaughtcr. The cir: oore
up remarkably we'll during the ny
ing ordeal but after the FOREMAN Of
the jury had announced tho verdict,
she broke down and wept bitterly,
having to be led from tho courtroom
by the matron. The trial began the
early part of the week but owing to
difficulty in obtaining jury ahe TAX
ing Of testimony was somewhat delay
ed.. The prosecution charged that
Detective Sergeant Wilson met Ills
death as he entered the johnson home
in search of persons who had fired in
TO tho street. A pistol battle is said to
have ei1sued, aud Detective Wilson
fell, MORALLY wounded, 1t is alleged
that Johnson and his daughter were
found hiding under u bed, and that
an empty cartridge was found in Il
revolver III their home. Tho govern.
mcnts hardest proposig ion is TO solve
which IL any, of The defendants bull
let's killed the detective. Attorney
Benjamin J.. Gnskins and II. NJ. Wat
son who defended Clara johnson, con
tended that ut was not possible to
prove what shot struck the officer.
Conscl for the defense gave notice Of
their intention to ask for II new trial
and Clara johnson was released OH
bond. The Rev. w. II. Jernagin, pas.
tor OF The Mount Carmel Baptist
Church and president of the National
Race Congress, became surety for the
accused. The citizens OF Washington
have proved themselves 100 per cent
in coming to the aid Of this unfortu
nate young girl, and every pressure is
being brought to bear TO see that she
is freed.
