According to Johnson's statement he had been keeping com pany with Mrs. Williams and it was her rejection of his attentions' and the fact that she was keeping com pany with another man that led to his determination to kill her. Worry over this affair and fear that Mrs. Freeman Intended to have him re turned to the prison at San Quentin led to the murder of his benefactress, he stated. Johnson has repeatedly declared his readiness to "swing" if only he could have killed Mrs. Williams and has stated several times that he would "get her some day." Her failure to keep an appointment is all that saved her from the fate of Mrs. Freeman, he declared. The prisoner has been in a surly mood ever since his entry into the state prison where he is shunned by his fellow convicts because of the at rocity of his crime.
