HAUNTED BY CRIME, GIVES DP
After Wandering' Eighteen Yean
Denver Man Eereals Identity.
CASE AGAINST HIM IS ROLLED
Jesses W. Kaaaell Walks lata Office
of raited States Marshal War.
aev and Telle of Crime
Coaaaaltted Years iio.
After eighteen years of wandering
around tha world, with hla conscience
continually reminding him that he was a
thief. Elmer E. Johnson, walked into the
United States marshal's office In the
federal building late Thursday afternoon
and announced that he was wanted by the
federal authorities In Denver for embea
slcment. He was taken before the United
BtaUa attorney, where ha told the story
ot his offense. ,
Tn 1893, Johnson says, ha was In charge
of a United Statea land office, and he
bad In his possession I-V.000 which he had
collected aa fees from homesteaders. He
deposited all but tl.SOO In a bank and
several days later the bank failed.
As he depoBlted the money, regardless
of a rule which stated that he should not
place public funds In a bank not secured
by the government, he feared the conse
quences for his act and fled with the
U.S00 which he had not deposited. He was
arrested several months later In Fort
Worth, Tex., where he tu taken before
a commissioner and extradited to Colo
rado, where he wae Indicted. He was
later released on a 12.000 bond.
Johnson had been at liberty only a few
days when he disappeared and. since IRQ
nothing had been heard of him, although
federal officials kept on the trail for
several years. In ISM the officials gave up
hope of ever finding htm so the case was
nollled. Foucht im Boer War.
When Johnson flt4 the country he
went to Africa, where i'e enlisted in the
Boer war. After the war, he came out a
captain and went to Australia, from
where he Journeyed to South America.
Later assuming the name of tha bonds
man he had betrayed, Johnson enlisted in
the Unttod States army and fought tn the
Philippines. He remained in the Islands
several years and returned to the United
States, lonesome and penniless.
He picked up the printer's trade and
worked for a while In New York, where
he joined the Typographical union. He
later drifted west and bad been in
Omaha only five days when he passed
Captain Hayes on the stieeL
Hayes gave hint only a passing glance,
but to Johnson, who racognixed the dep
uty as a federal authority, the glance l ad
a peculiar effect. He went over to Coun
cil Bluffs, but hla conscience refused to
let him live In peace and yesterday he
appeared In the marshal's office and
made a clean breast of his crime. '
He was placed In the Douglas county
Jail and the United States attorney at
Denver notified by telegraph. Thla morn-i
tng Mr. Howell received a reply informing'
him that the case against Johnson had
been aolled and said that there was no
reason for holding' hiiu. Johnson when
released and told , that the case had
been dropped fifteen years ago. Instead of
being overjoyed, wept like a child. He
says he Is going back to Denver and
square himself with the men who went
his bonds and he says ttmt he will pay
back to the government . the $1,800 he
stole.
