ern Turns States Evidence.
Miss Annie Peterson. fair-haired
Moline girl of % wears. is facing a
jury in the circuit court, which is TO
decide her guilt or innocence of arson.
If the former. she is doomed for a
term behind the walls of the peniten-
tiary at Joliet. There are three in
dictments against Annie-two for set
ting fire to the restaurant of Dan Pot
tiger. at Barstow. and one for a similar
crime at the Stoltz boarding house in
Moline. at both of which she was en-
ploved as domestic. She is now being
tried for firing the Pottiger restaurant.
the 18th of last July. 1t is case
which is puzzling all who have made
inquiries into the facts and circum-
stances and. even conceding the girls
guilt, there is none but who svmpa-
thizes with her, for there appears to he
no doubt that her crimes were not
perpetrated in a spirit OF righteousness.
but were prompted by mania which
siezes her at intervals and which has
absolute control over her for the time
being. Mr.. and Mrs. Pottiger. who
reside in Rock Island now. testified
that Annie admitted to them that she
set fire to the restaurant. They said
she was good girl, iirst-class work
er, and had but one weakness. Annie.
whose parents live in Sweden. will 90
on the stand and deny her guilt. She
is being defended by j. b. Oakleaf.
while States Attorney Searle is prose-
cutting.

A verdict of guilty was returned at
O'Clock last evening in the case of
Emil Johnson indicted with Thomas
McGovern for burglarizing Burlinr-
ton freight car in Moline and taking
Is pairs of shoes. McGovern turned
states evidence, and said he was led
into the job by johnson, who, he
said, stole the goods and turned them
over to him to dispose of them. John
son testified in his own behalf and
swore that McGovern pulled him into
the burglary. But it seems his story
did not have much weight with the
jury. McGovern will be tried later
on. NJ. j. MeEniry defended John
