She bought It two weeks before our marriage." Nevertheless the auto was attached. Deputy Sheriffs Thomas Mackey and Frederick H. Higgins served the attachment, which was to satisfy a judgment of $5,723.83 entered against the negro pugilist in favor of the George Helleman Brewing company. Johnson was not at home when the deputy sheriffs reached the Wabash avenue house. Apparently no one else was at home, either, but the officials went around to the rear and forced their way Into the kitchen, where they were confronted by five negro men and tour women. Johnson's mother, Mrs. Tiny John

son, confronted the deputies. "Well, ,

he Isn't here," she replied, on learning they wished to see her son. Johnson's second white wife, formerly Lucile Cameron, entered the room. On learning what the deputies wanted she telephoned to Johnson, who soon arrived and showed his visitors where Ihe fixtures were stored.

lieve me he will have to be."
