NO EXTRA SESSION
 PROBABLE IN 1922
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, Jan. 20-There will be no extra session of the Arkansas gen. eral assembly in 1922. Th.s state ment is not made officially. and yet it is made with a degree of certainty. Governor McRae has never been dis posed toward calling an extra session and while his mind is always open to argument and the call of emergency or public necessity, there is little pros pect that any condition could arise within the next few months that would justify him in his own mind in call ing an extraordinary session. Those who have favored the leyylng of q severance tax have teen persistent in urging the call but there has Dce n equally strong pressure from the op- position and the goverl or app ,ars to be willing to let the l i, position 'ake its natural course. One thing that may be said of Governor McRae is that he stands solidly in support of any position once assumed. He is not given to vacillation and uncertainty, hut possesses a Scotch tenacity of pur- pose which it is no criticism to de nominate hard-headedness. He has been standing steadfastly for princi ples enunciated before his election anc 60 far has not deviated che whit from any of them.

SMITH USED CRAFT
 TO CATCH JOHNSON
MADEHURRIEDDEPARTURF
Local Boy Entitled to Credit for En- durance and Craft Displayed
 in Feat.

Perseverance, endurance and the use of all his resources won out and resulted in the apprehension of Ton Johnson yesterday by George w C'Smoky") Smith, who as soon as the fugitive was in custody, hurried him to Little Rock for the double reason this action was requested by Claude Johnson, his son, and from fear that citizens of that section, said by Smith to be embittered against the pursued, would wrest the prisoner from him and do immediate violence. The elder Johnson expressed fear of the posse in pursuit and also requested that he be shunted out and away to Little Rock without it being known.
 Smith made these statements to the Log Cabin Democrat today in order that the apprehension of the fugitive might be fully understood. He eX- plained with all sincerity that it was impossible before he left Mt. Vernon to get word to Deputy Sheriffs J. l. Summers and J. A. King that John son was in custody. Smith acted hur riedly, he admitted, and was impelled only by his desire to safely lodge his captive behind the bars at the earliest possible moment. One more experience ed might have acted differently, Smith said, and his mind was much disturb ed when he reached the penitentiary. So much so that he asked Warden Hamp Martin if he had done the right thing. Mir. Martin assured Smith he had
 Johnson did not speak of the crime, Smith said. They came by way of Vilonia and into Conway over the Vi lonia highway, turning over at A. A Halter's house and thence to the Pal arm highway which they reached at Whites store. Timing his actions from early yesterday, Smith began preparation of his trip about o'clock and by 9 o'clock had Johnson in custody, the car replenished with gaso- line and oil and was leaving for Lit tie Rock, which he reached about 2 :35. Not knowing what to do with his prisoner, he left Johnson in the Pu- | laski jail and called at the office of Prosecuting Attorney Emerson. There he was advised to take Johnson to the penitentiary. Before coming back tc Conway, some repairs had to be made on the car and the party left there at o'clock, reaching Conway at 10:30 In the party, besides Smith and John son were Claude Johnson, Will Bean and his son, Doe" Bean. The car be

 posse with him. About 50 men were

 George w. ("Smoky") Smith, dep- uty sheriff who has conducted a re- lentless search for the two men since the crime, is we'll known semi professional baseball player. He re- turned to Conway yesterday after noon and probably is searching for Roy Johnson, whom officers in Faulkner county believe is still in the vicinity of the crime, or perhaps sev- eral miles north, hiding in the bot toms along the North Cadron creek.

 After we got to the Hopkins home, Mrs. Hopkins, if I remember right, asked me to take off my socks and dry my feet. What happened after that l don't know. It seems to me George Hopkins played the organ, and a little racket started, but l don't remember for sure."
 In reply to question as to whether all present were drinking or not, Johnson said that he was intoxicated and supposed the rest of them were.
 What happened after the rack ety. he was asked,

My wife made pallet for me down by the door and I rested there a little while. She asked me whose coat I was wearing, and when I looked, I saw did not have my own coat. I had left it and my spectacles at the other house."
 Whose coat is that, do you sup pose?" the reporter asked, as he pointed to a faded and much worn coat on Johnson's cot.

STICKS TO
 HIS FIRST STORY
CLAIMS HE WAS DRUNK
When Mir. and Mrs. George Hopkins were Killed and Can Remember
 Nothing of the Tragedy.
(By the Associated Press)

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-Tom John son, who surrendered yesterday to a deputy sheriff searching for him on charge of participating in the mur- der or George Hopkins and wife in Faulkner county last week, this morning had not changed his story that he was drunk when the murder occurred and did not remember any thing about it. Johnson is being held in the state penitentiary for safe keeping.
The log cabin Democrat., 1922-01-20
Arkansas Gazette, January POI

Arkansas Gazette, January 20.)
 Tom Johnson, alleged Faulkner county slayer in his cell at the walls last night, seemed willing to discuss his acts prior to the trouble at the Hopkins home, and his move ments after the tragedy, but repeat edly said he remembered nothing of the actual crime and did not know whether he was guilty or not. He said he was so drunk when he ar rived at the Hopkins home that he remembered nothing that happened there.
 ''They say we are charged with the crime,' he said, ''but l don't know whether we are or not. I don't re- member anything that happened after we reached the Hopkins home, until I returned to my own home and my wife told me that Roy, my son, had been there, told her of the trouble and gone. 1 went in search of him and have been trying to find him to get him to tell me something about 1t but l have not seen him since that night. What happened at the Hop kins home, I don't know I was drunk before l got there, and sup pose all the others were, too, bue couldn't say"
 Johnson is slender, about feet 8 or 10 inches in height and weighs about 135 or 40 pounds. His hair is black, wiry and cut rather close. His bewhiskered face is thin and rather coarse. His eyes are small, and slightly grey. While talking to the reporter, Johnson was seated on the edge of his cot and betrayed his extreme nervousness by his continu- al tugging at his socks. He was clad in the regulation prison costume the suit having been given to him by Warden w. H. Martin soon after Johnson arrived at the pen. The suit of overalls Johnson was wearing when he arrived, Mr. Martin said was dirty, and one leg had been con- siderably burned at the knee.
 "I don't know whether I'm guilty or not" Johnson told the reporter '1 don't remember what happened al Hopkins home that night. Roy anc l and Marion Wright were there witf George Hopkins and his wife. As we were going to the Hopkins home we came to branch that had to be crossed on a foot log"
 He traced on window sill a dia- gram of the branch, and the loca. tion of the foot log, and then con- tinued his story.
 "I started across the long, but fel off face down in the branch, anc someone said he'd get me. I finally got out of the branch and we went on to the house."
 What made you fall off the log
 q lost my balance. I was already so drunk I couldn't walk good" was
