Johnson Gets Four Months for Miss Deremer Death
Emanuel Johnson, colored, was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to four months in the Maryland House of Correction. The judge cited reckless driving and noted Johnson had paid $600 to Miss Deremer’s family and spent four months jailed. Johnson’s attorney sought to move the sentence to county jail for health reasons, but the judge required medical proof before altering the term. The case arose from a June 9 accident on the National Pike near Braddock distillery that killed Miss Cordelia Deremer and injured John Clise. Johnson fled but was later captured in Meyersdale, Pa. He previously ran a saloon on Window street.

It accounts for minor fractions of Great Britain’s wealth and wages, farm output, and trade balance in 1914 15.
