Sixth Street and supported herself by

means of the restaurant. John Johnson, a

street car motorman occupied a room in

her cottage. Mrs. Buckthorn was found

dead in her bed, in a pool of blood, with

two bullet holes in her head this morning.

Mrs. Grady, the restaurant cook said, "I

became alarmed when Mrs. Buckthorn did

not appear as usual at the restaurant this

morning and went to her home to find

her."

Inquiry showed that Mrs. Buckthorn

had drawn $250 from the First National

Bank yesterday and her daughter, Mrs.

J. D. Jackson, 1548 Sixth Street, says that

her mother often kept such sums of money

at home under the mattress of her bed.

Mrs. Jackson also says that she often

warned her mother against such habits.

The money was not under the mattress

this morning.

Further inquiry showed that John Johnson

did not appear for work as usual this

morning and was later found by Police-

man Patrick O'Hara in the railroad yards.

He had with him $223.67 and a ticket to

New York. He was known to be hard up

but refused to account for the money and

was given a berth in the county jail.

Samuel Benson, cas.h.i.+er of the First Na-

tional, is sure that the two 100-dollar

bills which were found on Johnson are the

same bills that he gave to Mrs. Buckthorn

yesterday afternoon. Johnson will be

given a hearing to-morrow but it is al-

ready considered certain that he is the

guilty party, the evidence being so strong.
