John son, who was 47 years old, was found dead with a broken heck, sitting on the stairway leading to the second floor of their home. A piece of rope was fastened around the banister on the second floor, the two ends tied so loosely about his neck he could not have strangled. Johnson several times had told hie wife he intended to scare her, and Mrs. Johnson's theory is that he tied the rope about his neck and then at tempted to let himself down to the first floor, han1 over band; that he lost his hold and either through the rope catching on the banister and breaking the fall, or by striking his bead on the steps, be was killed.
