MRS. LEHRMAN FREE
Silver Lake Woman, Charged With
Defrauding the Government, Re-
leased by Judge Seaman.
MUST RETURN FOR SENTENCE

Mrs. Lehman Pleads Guilty to the Charge
Against Her, But Said She Took the
Money for Her Sick Son-Her Son. John
Richards, Who Was Arrested With Her,
to be Tried Later, But it is not Thought
He Will be Convicted.
Mrs. Louisa Lehman, of Silver
Lake, who was indicted by the grand
Jury last week, for drawing govern
ment money as pension widow after
she had forfeited her right to it by
marriage, pleaded guilty to the charge
in Milwaukee yesterday. Sentence
was suspended by Judge Seaman and
Mrs. Lehrman was allowed to return
home.
When Judge Seaman asked her if
she had anything to say in pa1Iation
of the offense, Mrs. Lehrman replied
that she needed the money at the time
to pay the expenses of her sons sick
ness. After listening to the excuse,
and e1iciting the further that she had
others dependent on her at the time,
Judge Seaman said:
''This is a very severe charge. The
least punishment possible under the
law is state prison. 1t is the taking
of money from the government ille-
ga11y, and is necessary that the law
should be enforced, because the temp
tation thrown in the way of the peo-
pie to get government money in a
fraudulent way is very great. The
excuse that you needed the money for
your son is not an excuse in law.
''You may go home. You will be
liable to be called back here when it is
found necessary to pass a sentence on
your case.''
John Richards, son of Mrs. Lehr-
mann, indicted for perjury in signing
a dependent widow, asked leave to
plead guilty, but the judge would not
allow him to do so. "There is a ques-
ton for the jury to decide, said Judge
Seaman, whether he knew the extent
of the statement he swore to-
Richards affixed his mark to the
voucher. It was read to him before he
signed it. The case will be tried this
term, but it is doubtful if a jury will
convict him.
1t is very probable that this will be
the last of the case, as far as the Keno
sha county woman is concerned, as it
is stated by attorneys who have been
interested in the case, that it is not
probable that Mrs. Lehrmann will be
called back to Milwaukee for sentence.
The money which she received under
fraudulent oath was so small that it is
hardly thought that any one will urge
that the full penalty of the law be en-
forced.

ADDS TO IT'S VALUE.
Many Changes Being Made in the Memo
rial Building as it Nears Completion.

The work of setting the marble in
the library building is now well under
way and a large force of men are en-
p1oyed in order that the building may
be finished as soon as possible. All
the eight columns supporting the dome
have been placed in position and the
work of setting the marble for the
walls has been commenced. The con-
tractors state that the marble now
being put in is the finest ever put into
building in Wisconsin. The plans
for the work have been changed since
the letting of the contract and much of
the domestic marble which was to have
been used has been discarded and
Italian marble substituted in it's place.
Besides this great deal of beauty
has been added to the building by the
change IN the plans for the large read
ng room. This was originally to be
p1astered but the revised plans are to
build in this room a pure white wall of
Italian marble extending to the height
of nine feet. Above this the wall will
be of adamant. The ceiling of the
reading room was completed yesterday
and it is certainly marvel of beauty.
It consists of a number of heavy in1aid
panels all carefully and beautifully
carved. The ceilings in the smaller
rooms and in the stock room are of
a similar pattern but not so e1abor-
ate.
The contractor stated last evening
that the building would be completed
and turned over to Mr.. Simmons by
Memorial Day. The changes in the
designs and material have added
greatly to the value of the building.

he asks that a new minister be ap-
pointed in order that he may give all
his time to the church work in this
city.
