HAD BUT TWO YEARS' HAPPINESS SINCE '92 Husband Choked Her When She Had Tonsilitis; Tries to "Bust" Telephone The mere fact that the telephone was attached to the wall was really of no account to Charles C. Johnson who wanted to throw something at his wife and wanted to throw it im mediately. The stoutness of ihe wainscoting of the Johnson home, the length of the screws and the toughness of the wires that hold the phone box to its established position, interfered, how ever. So airs. Johnson wasn't struck with the family telephone. That was part of the testimony de veloped by Attorney Charles C. Stroh this morning during the continued session of January divorce court when Mrs. Lila Johnson's appeal for a di vorce was heard before President Judge Kunkcl. Johnson is a huckster and produce man, and one of the famous "John son Brothers" the gun-and-bayonet tossing drum-majors that made pa rades in Harrisburg so well worth while a few years ago. The Johnsons were married in 1892 but according to Mrs. Johnson she's had scarcely more than two years of real happiness in all that time. Charles, she said, was addicted to a love of liquor and behaved according ly. On May 29, last year, he decided that the weather was stillling and that she was to blame. Whereupon, according to the witnesses, he twist ed the chandelier until the globes were knocked to pieces, threw the coffee pot on the floor, kicked over chairs and tried to curve the tele phone at his wife. Two years before when she was suffering with tonsilitis Mrs. Johnson said that she had casu ally mentioned her ailment to her husband so he choked her.

"At all our missions over the coun try we have five calls for help this winter to one in other years. I think it is this wave of hard times that is giving impulse to the spirit of relig ious revival that is gripping the coun try.
