Tears streamed down the aged fea-
tures of Billy Johnson. a former‘
Eridgeporter, now living in New Can-
aan. when he visited the detective bu-
reau at Police headquarters Bridge-
port, yesterday to beg the sleuths to
grip him reclaim his beloved old lid-

be. "it's pretty nearly all We got in .
the world, Move it like a father loves ii
his child." l 0“
Johnson was persuaded to tell the
story of the ilddle iltttle by little. for
he could not restrain his emotions.
Johnson was once an chiller or high 555
rank in the regular army, but he be.
came involved in a scandal that re"
suited in his dismissal. His only so-
lace in his disgrace was his muai .
he said. and for eighteen years. during
which he has worked at a great diven
. sity of ceilings. wherever he could se--
cure employment. he has kept‘hie vio- .
lie with him its his most cherished pos-
seelion. _ -
He went to Bridgeport from New
Conan. he says. a few 'days ago and
began drinking heavily. He went
broke. and thought to get enough funds
to return to his employment. so with .
much misgivlng he placed his instru
ment in a pawnshop. He realized only
32:60 on it. Then while so drunk that
he didnt realize’ what he was doing he
sold the ticket for half a dollar.
When he came to his senses. he
thought of his beloved instrument. and
went in search of the man to whOm
he sold the ticket. He told the police
today that the violin is now held by
- soon Fertig, a saloon keeper, in Wa-
& er street..who demanded $60 tor It.‘
Hi0 plaintive appeal so interested 2
the detectives that though the matter.
did. noiappear to come within the prov-
ince oi’ criminal prosecution. they
sought Assistant Prosecutor Redden'
who took Johnson away with him;
cheering him up with a promise to got
back the dddle it it were possible.
