BOSTON POST. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 13. 1901. His Wife Declarad Innocent ot Wrongdoing Against Children, POSITIVE PROOF Should Convince the Greatest Sceptic in Boston.

MALDEN, Sept. foul the police of Malden say of tlje statement made In the Malden Police Court yesterday, by Gustav Johnson, who, while he was undergoing a prelim- Inary examination on the charge of criminal relations with another woman, accused his wife of murdering her child and trying to murder him. In substantiation of this declaration they point to the fact that when the children died, Mrs. Johnson, a handsome Swedish woman in the prime of life, was In the Dar.vers Insane Asylum, and say that it would have been absolutely impossible for her to have done anything of the kind. They have had suspicions, however, that other people may have had something to do with the deaths.

In her own defence, Mrs. Johnson, who Is at 121 Shepherd street, Lynn, says that she was not near her children when they died, nor within a reasonable length of time before they died. She says: befriended the woman vfrho took my place in my home when we were all coming over from the old country. I took her into nty home when she could not go anywhere else. I was not happy after that.

After the first child was born was taken 111 and went away. I came hack and things became so unpleasant that I went back to Danvers again. Each time I was away some of my children died. I can say no The woman who took Mrs. place is Annie the same name, but of other blood.

She confesses that her child is by the husband of the woman who befriended her. She has been sentenced to three imprisonment because of the relations with him, and he has been held in $1000 bonds because of his life with her. The Malden police do not think that thev will ever be able to And out about the death of the children. The first one died three years ago and It was said that it died in convulsions. A fruitless examination was made at the time, but a physician said that death was due to natural causes and the case was dropped.

Later, wher second child died in convulsions, the police, as soon as they heard of the death, rushed to the home, but were too late, an undertaker having already filled Its body full of an embalming fluid that would make toxic Inations valueless. Then the third chdd died, but it was possible to nothing though the police at the time believed that their suspicions were well as to the cause of death. The mother was then at the Danvers Asylum and not a single word' was sent to her that her children had passed away. When she left the asylum she went to Lynn to work, and it was there she learned the news that almost broke her heart. She would not return, and It was only because case that this week attempts were made to punish her husband.

He was first arrested on the charge of non-support and then his housekeeper, Annie Johnson, was arrested. She con fSsed to her relations with Johnson and was sentenced He denied his. and was held for the Grand Jury. Because evidence In Boston. from a citizen, perhaps a neighbor.

A The shipping agents refused to accede to the demands for higher wages, and this morning about 1700 of the cargo handlers failed to return for work. There was a lively session at the annual conferenco of the New England MMk Union and the Boston milk -contractors at the American House yesterday afternoon, called for the purpose of fixing the winter wholesale price on milk. The officers of the union insisted on fixing the rate at 37 cents per can of 8 1-2 quarts, delivered in Boston, while the contractors refused to agree to this price, and offered only 33 cents. There was considerable arguing on both sides, and the meeting was finally adjourned to Sept. 25 without an agreement having been reached.

In speaking of the matter after the meeting, a prominent officer of the Pro- Union said: present price of grain is very much higher it for several years past, and simply impossible for the members ofthe union to furnish milk at the price offered by the dealers in Boston and get any profit out of the ELSIE LESLIE WEDS WILLIAM JEFFERSON WINTER Prices 25 35 BOSTON THEATRE LAWRENCE MeCARTY, Lesaee Sc ENTERTAINMENTS exclusions SUCCESS OF OUR NEW POLICY.

But little more than a week ago one of their number, a motorman, was suddenly stricken with a touch of that dread affliction According to some of the men he had contracted the disease from handling Canadian dime smuggled over the border by a smuggled Chinaman. Yesterday, for over two hours, the car house bore a striking resemblance to an emergency hospital. To a few of the men the operation was an entirely novel one.

but many of them had been there before. Still that did not make anyone the more ready to have it over with. There was many a groan and grimace of pain, and many a man who begged for the postponement of the operation in his particular case, but the authorities were inexorable and each and every one was put through the terrible ordeal regardless of or subterfuges. But after the ordeal was over, however, relief was expressed in strongest characters on each bronzed visage. Everyone felt heroic.
