DEATH
LOSS TO LIBERALS
Former Senator Succumbs
to Pneumonia After 8
Weeks Illness.
ey the Associated Press.


LITCHFIELD, Mimi, September
1.-THE death Of Magnus Johnson
colorful 64-year- Swedish immi-
grant farmer who served in the
United States Senate and House OF
Representatives, left gap today In
the ranks of Minnesota's pioneer
Labor Farmer politicians.
johnson died of pneumonia at a
hospital here yesterday after three
weeks illness. His widow and six
sons and daughters were at his bed
side.
The one-time Wisconsin lumber
lack, q leader in the liberal political
movement in Minnesota, was stricken
August %, the day after his former
Farmer-Labor chief, Floyd B. Olson,
died of q stomach ailment.
Interested in Liberal Politics.
Born in Varmland, Sweden, Sep
tember l9, 1871, johnson worked as q
sailor and a glassblower before COM
ing to American when he was 10. He
became interested in liberal politics
while in Sweden and carried that
interest with him to America.
When the Non-partisan League be-
came a factor in Minnesota politics,
in 1916, johnson joined and was
elected to the State Senate. where
he served four years. With the
growth of the Farmer-Labor party he
continued his allegiance to the liber-
ais and as a Farmer-Laborite was
elected to serve out the unexpired
term of the late United States SEN
ator Knute Nelson in 1928.
While in Washington he gained at
tention by engaging the then Secre-
tary of Agriculture, Henry C. Wallace,
in a milking contest, which he lost, and
wood-chopping test, which he won.
He played marbles in front Of the
Capitol. His favorite expletive, ''py
golly." became Capital byword.
Won Tariff on Butter.
On the serious side, one Of his
major accomplishments while in the
Senate was a protective tariff against
butter imports.
He was defeated for reelection to
the Senate by the late Thomas D.
Schall, but went back to Washington
as a Congressman at large In 1882.
In 1884 he was defeated by Repre-

lines, the trial judge instructed a YER
dict of acquittal on the two most grave
charges against the defendant.
None Of the witnesses said McMa-
hon tried to aim the pistol.
The defense hammered at the con-
tention that Mcmahon, had he
wished, would have had ample time
to FIRE at the King.
Agreeing that no case had been
made to support the charges Of pos
sessing firearms with intent to alarm
the King or with intent to endanger
life and property, Justice Greaves-
Lord turned to the jury and instructed
them to return a verdict of inno-
cence on these counts.
Verdict Quickly Given.
The jury of nine men and three
middle-aged women held a whispered
conference of half a minute and
returned a verdict accordingly.
Earlier Mcmahon had pleaded not
guilty to all three charges, in a firm
voice, after waiting quietly in the
dock while the judge, the under
sheriff and two other court officials,
all carrying flowers in accordance
with ancient practice to ward of
plague" took their places on the
bench under the golden-hilted sword
Of Justice hanging on the oak-pan-
eled wall of the ancient court room.
Mcmahon, wearing black coat
and gray-striped trousers, presented
. somber figure in comparison to the
undersheriff, who wore medieval
knee breeches, and a frilled jacket
and carried a glistening sword.
The prisoner, at the start, had
clutched the edge of the dock nerv-
ously, his fingers twitching. But he
regained his composure as the case
proceeded and, when the judges in
structions wiped out the heart Of the
case against him, smiled broadly at
the jury and the $50 spectators.
Plump and nervous Lily Yeoman,
one of the first, was asked by defense
counsel if Mcmahon could not have
fired directly and easily at the King
had he wished.
THAT is correct" Mrs. Yeoman re-
piled.
Mary Blencowe, middle-aged cock
hey barmaid at the Two Brewers Pub,
at Buckingham Gate, had briefly re-
counted a conversation she had with
Mcmahon across the bar, in which
he said: "I am going away. You'll
never see me again. Something
dreadful has happened. You'll see it
all in the newspapers"
That was few hours before the in
cident on Constitution Hill.
From John William Remes, night
porter who testified he punched Nc
Mahon twice after the incident, the
defense drew the admission he did
not see the gun until it was lying in
the roadway.
Remes declared Mcmahon had his
glasses on but I hit him all the same"
Samuel Edward Green, elderly re-
tired newspaperman, who said he saw
the pistol drop between the hind feet
of the Kings horse, insisted under
cross-examination II could have roped
him around the neck" and stopped
Mcmahon If he had pointed the
revolver.
Police Constable Francis Flood, who
declared Mcmahon told him to "take
your damned horse out of the way, I
want to see the procession" said he

And Malcolm was frightened. He

suspect Perilla of crime, the mere
mention Of such possibility would
stir up trouble, which would radiate
in many directions.
He tried a new argument.

silly Farman inside out, once he gets

kindness will survive forever the
shocks you are giving it."
'T'm not afraid" and the old lady
tossed her gray head. "Perilla tried
just now to pull the wool over my
eyes. She thought she could get
around me with sweet smiles and
honeyed words. But she didn't work
it," and the old DANES smile was
like that of a doddering imbecile.
