JOHN JOHNSON OF MADISON, WIS, ACKNOWLEDGES HE
 KILLED 7-YEAR OLu GIRL.
Stole Her From Bed and Threw Her Into Lake--Sentenced to Life Imprisonment and Hurried
 to Prison.

Madison, Wis, Sept. a John Johnson this Evening confessed to the abduction and murder of little Annie Lemberger. the 7-year old child whose body was found in Lake Mon- ona Saturday morning last and in few minutes was sentenced to life imprisonment.
 Immediately after his confession and sentence, Johnson was taken in an automobile and wndsked away through side streets and across the country at rapid clip to the state prison at Waupun. The greatest se- crecy was maintained because vt une fears that Johnson might be lynch cd
 Johnson was taken into custody on Saturday morning, but after being questioned, was released about noon. The officers he'd him under surveii- lance all day and in the evening brought him in again and held him under suspicion.
 Although officers suspected John- son of knowing sometning about the crime, they could not fasten guilt up- on him absolutely. He was taken into court today. pleaded not guilty and placed under s10.OO0 bond. the preliminary examination being SC. for Sept. 25.
 On his way back to prison John- son appeared frightened. Once in nis |celi he paced to and fro evidently laborng under great excitement which he said afterwards was fear
 of mob yfoIprice. Officials wers called when he said he wished to make confession. but he omitted the details, he said, as he did not want to consume more time than ne- cessary.
 He wanted to be sentenced ana taken to the penitentiary as quickly as possible to avoid being lynched.
 His child victim disappeared from her bed where she was sleeping with her sister. Johnson said he went to window near the bed and drew the child through it, took her to rail- road bridge and threw her into the lake. He would not say more.
 He already has served one term in tho peniter4iary and several years ago was sent to an asylum after com mitting criminal assault upon child.
