Johnson's alloy. d confession, how ever, is full of inconsistencies, great? ly at variance with statements' he has made since his arrest in this city last week. He declares that he has been married to so many women that ha cannot count them off-hand. "In 1906," he says, "I quit my buel m as of buying horses and from that day to this time I have been makin? J ay living by marrying and making love to women, petting their money and then deserting them." One of his most amazing feats, ac? cording to his own confession, was mi Icing love to ten women at one time in Portland, Ore. While he ad? mits thai he rot money from most of them and that his marriages were part of a got-rU h-quiek system, Johnson declares that in every in itanCS he tpsat the money he receiv? ed upon the victim herself. Johnson declares that he was born in Germany and coming to this coun? try in the '70s secured a post with the United States government buying; horses for the army on commission. This took him all over the country. 1 At first, he says, he was a woman ha? ter because he had been separated from a sweet heart in Germany who died la*er. He married the fi-st of his many wives in Springfield, Mass., in 1905. i ?ho was Mrs. Mary Brown. "I married only ore woman under the name of John Madson," Johnson declared. "Her nSBSC was Jones? it I remember rightly?Ada Jones. I got $1.800 from her because she said she loved ric. I could have got $50, 000." From most of the women, Johnson says, he obtained money or jewelry or both. Johnson left today in cus? tody of a deputy sheriff, for San Quentln prison, where he is to serve i seven years' sentence. Of 18 women whom Johnson mar? ried, according to the confession, sev en are from California, four from Missouri, two from Oregon, one each from Arkansas, Kansas, Illinois and Tennessee. The woman from Ten? nessee was Mrs. Bertha King of Mem? phis, and the one from Arkansas, Mrs. Birdie King, of Hot Springs. The pride und Coairage of the old South. Kever were there braver soldiers or p o lder men than those who com? posed the armies of the Confederacy. Their spirit was unconquerable. Neither poverty nor hangar nor de? feat nor death could ring disgrace to them. The same if] ,t survives to? day In the veterans of the Civil War who are still with us. Sometimes this crops out in some pathetic incident which brings a tear to ihe eye. A few day- a o C< L Marcellus Pointer died In a bare little room in an obsCUTS hot 1 in the poorest lectio of N? > Y\ rJt? Frohen In h atth n "tune ha had been un al e i r . dc enough even to sup? ply his very modest wants. Old and In rm, he could Bad no means of SU] port. He was too proud to appeal to his wealthy friends f r aid. and to the last never d -*d 1 J* to them his necessities. He was too proud to allow himself to become a burden to '?ti ers. His distinguished services in the war, his loyalty and hiyh-mimb 1 n< la availed him nothing in the struggle for bread. Put the old sol? dier fought on bravely to the last, neither asking nor accepting charity, with a smile on his face and allow? ing no complaining word to escape his kips.
