were held Saturday, Nov 10. A
Cpl. John Tracy is being held for
the murder.
According to johnson, Mrs.
Johnson's nude, badly beaten body
was found November 4 by q SOL
der looking for his small son who
had wandered off from home. She
was lying face down in a ditch
two miles from her home.
An autopsy revealed that she
had been dead for about five days.
The coroner's examination dis
closed multiple fractures Of the
nose. both jaws broken, throat
cut, and other severe bruises
about the face and body. He re-
ported death was by strangula-
ton.
The body had been so badly
mutilated that Johnson could
identify it only by a scar on the
forhead. Weddings rings and all
other personal Identification were
missing.
Sgt. johnson told this reporter
he was confined to the hospital
at FIT. Lewis at the time OF the
murder. He stated the last time
he saw his wife was Sunday, Oct.
l6. The last time he had a letter
from her was Oct. Is.
The first event that made him
suspicious something was wrong,
johnson said, was that his wife
did not come to see him for q
week. He then confided his fears
for her safety to an army buddy.
Cpl. Tracy, who promised to check
on her whereabouts when he got
off duty that evening.
The next morning he told John
son his wife had gone to her
mothers home in Waterloo.
This johnson did not believe.
for he could think Of no reason
for her leaving without telling
him. He said he called Mrs. John
sons friends at the government
housing project where they lived.
but they hadn't seen or heard
from her in over q week. John
son then notified the civil author
tiles Of his wife's disappearance
and a search was begun.
Reconstructed Of the Crime
In reconstructing the crime, de-
tectives surmised Tracy was the
only logical suspect because he
was the only one besides johnson
who had q key TO the house con-
nected to the johnson home.
II was assumed Tracy entered
the johnson home, assaulted Mrs.
Johnson, and then kept her pris-
oner for Is days. When he learned
johnson was TO be released from
the hospital to look for his wife,
he strangled her to death, carried
her body TO the ditch two miles
from the housing project, and
threw her into the mud.
