MAOAMEJAfl LOON Soloist of Innes Band Tells of Her Experiences. Madame Van Loon, the soprano soloist of the Innes orchestral band concert to be given at the Coliseum this evening under the auspices of the Musicians' Union arrived in town this morning. Jladame Van Loon, who is of
cide of Harriet Wyman and William Dutch parentage and Is a member of Johnson, at the Wyman home, 130 the Chicago Grand Opera company, is
Richmond avenue on the night of September 25, has caused the coroner, Dr. R. J. Pierce to Insert V rather unusual statement in the verdict on the death ol the man and woman. The verdict was filed yesterday afternoon in the county clerk's office. The statement of the coroner is as follows: "It might possibly be both interesting and instructive to discuss the facts as known and their significance, but to do so would take the coroner outside of his province, hence this is left to the moralists whose field Is unlimited." Witnesses examined by tjie coroner on the night of the double suicide and subsequent days told different stories, althought in the main the facts brought out by the examination were about the same, as related by the witnesses. Discrepancies Appear. It is gathered from the verdict that Wyman, who returned with Mrs. Johnson to the former's home on that evening, and found Johnson at his home, intended to leave his wife that evening because of the apparent affection between Johnson and Mrs. Wyman. However, at the time, it is Baid that Wyman was telling his mother that he was going to leave, his wife and Johnson were drinking the deadly poison in the room below. When he descended the stairs, after talking with his mother, his wife and Johnson entered the room and within a few minutes both were unconscious. Mrs. Johnson testified that her husband had threatened to take his life several times during the past months; thit about 8.20 o'clock that evening Roy Wyman came to her house at 425 South Twelfth street and told her that
Johnson has just threatened to end his life and that she should go with him to his home; that they 'arrived there about 9:30 o'clock, but that upon entering the room where Johnson and Mrs. Wyman were, that neither spoke to 'them and that there was no conversation at all; that her husband and Mrs. Wyman went into the kitchen returning shortly afterward, both lying on a couch and that within a few minutes both were unconscious. Green's Testimony. Probably the most interesting testimony was given by Henry Green, a nephew of Harriet Wyman. Green said
nao uaiaii o anil ucai u uuuubvu say to Mrs". Wyman, before Mr. Wyman and Mrs. Johnson entered the .house, "Out with it; I paid for it." Af"ter the other, two arrived at the house and Mr. Johneon and Mra. Wyman had gone ' to the kitchen, Green said he heard Wyman say to Mrs. Johnson, "Would you stand for it," to which Mrs. Johnson replied, "I should say I wouldn't" and that just before Roy
Wyman asked the above question, the latter went .upstairs to bis mother's 'room and said "I'm going." His mother answered. "Oh don't Roy." The remainder of Green's testimony follows: , "I heard -Mrs. Johnson then say to her husband, 'Let'B go home because ' that car goes in six minutes.' Johnson answered, "I'll be home in six minutes.' Roy Wyman then said to Johnson, 'Are you mad Fuzzy.' He received no reply. Wyman then said 'To Hell with you, don't speak.'"
singing a preliminary engagement
with Innes, who is an old friend. "Mr. Innes is a great musician," said Madame Van Loon in conversation with a Palladium reporter this morn
ing. "And his organization is not a
mere band. But has more the complex'
ion of an orchestra, since it includes
in its musical personnel certain of the strings and a harp. The Innes harpist, by the way, is one of the finest now
before the public.
"I have had many curious experiences while touring with the Innes or
ganization. And have sung in all sorts
of auditoriums. Even, in a
rink," said Madame Van Loon In ex
clamatory emphasis.
"Oh, you say I will also sing in one here? However I rather like it. In Dayton the building took in all of the outdoors. It was immense. Also I sang In a building devoted to prize-fighting and, as they could not remove the platform or what you call it? the band was placed in the ring and when I came out to sing I had to be assisted up the steps. I laughed so I could scarcely sing. "We nave many adventures. We who are before the public. But it is interesting. This is the first time I have sung with' a band but this is more like an orchestra, as I have said, and is better than one made up entirely of brasses."
