MORE HOPE FOR MRS. JOHNSON.
Husband's Preliminary Hearing May
Be Held Tomorrow.
More hope was expressed yesterday for the complete recovery of Mrs. W. A. Johnson, who was slugged in her bed on the morning of August 20, than has been entertained before. The physician in attendance declared that Mrs. Johnson was "holding her own," and beyond that would say nothing concerning her condition.
It was stated that Johnson's preliminary hearing will take place tomorrow, provided his wife grows no worse. He is now under arrest charged with having attempted to kill his wife. The preliminary hearing, if it takes place tomorrow, will be held at Buckner, Mo. It is expected that the trial will be of a sensational nature, since the state must show due reason for holding Johnson on its charge.
