degenerate through drink, pleaded
guilty to the brutal murder OF Annie
Lemberger. who was stolen more
than week ago from the bedroom
which she occupied with her two lit
tie brothers in the lean-to Of her
fathers shack on South Francis street.
Immediately he was sentenced to
life Imprisonment by. Judge Donovan.
Twenty minutes later Sheriff Brown
and Under Sherin Page departed with
him in an automobile for the state
penitentiary at Waupun. The whole
proceedings did not last over half
an hour.
In many ways it was quite the
quickest solution and conviction in q
mysterious crime on record.
Johnson will probably be brought
back to Madison. There is an idea
that his disordered brain created a
bug-a-boo 5of mob that was waiting
for him outside and that his confess
sion was prompted by fear.
"A sanity commission will probably
be asked to pass upon his mental con-
dition. While this probably would not
result in his release it will at least
bring about a reopening Of the mys-
terious case. II johnson is insane,
and there ts; every reason to think
that he Is, he does not belong in Wau-
pun, but in Oshkosh where new hos
pital for the criminal insane Of Wis
consin is approaching completion.
Suspicion against JOHNSON devel-
oped as soon as the crime was re
ported. and he was arrested. He was
held in the police station and refused
absolutely to confess or admit any
knowledge of the crime.
