JOHNSON RETRACTS
CRIME CONFESSION
TELLS MADISON SHERIFF THAT
HE DID NOT KILL LITTLE
ANNIE LEMBERGER.
FEAR CAUSE OF ADMISSION
While on Way to Prison. johnson
Declared Ills innocence and Said
He Only Wanted to Escape Mob
Others Doubt His Guilt.

Madison.--'I never killed the girl
any more than you did"
Such was the declaration of John
A. Johnson to Sheriff Brown, made
while on his way to Waupun to serve
life sentence for the confessed MUIR
der Of little Annie Lemberger.
"On the trip Johnson acted as
though in mortal fear until the party
had passed Columbus" said the sher-
if. Then he talked nationally and
without evidence of mental disturb
ance.'
The prisoner told the sheriff that
he knew nothing of the murder or
disappearance of the girl until the
next morning when he went upon the
street.
Sheriff Brown said that he had as
surances from Johnson that as soon
as he could he would write a letter
to Attorney Emerson Ely.
johnson acted perfectly rational"
said the sheriff. He told the sheriff
that he saw a mob attack man at
Darlington some twenty or twenty
five years ago and that it was some
thing terrible. He gave this as the
reason for being afraid that mob
would attack him."
There is a widespread belief here
that Johnson may not have been the
murderer of little Annie Lemberger,
that his confession was the result of
his fear of an imaginary mob and
that he was railroaded to prison for
life without adequate inquiry as to
the truth of his confession. So far
as the printed reports show there has
not been discovered any evidence to
cOrrObOrate this confession, while
there are some facts that tend to dis
credit it.
The fact that police officers have
again visited the scene of the tragedy
gives color to a belief that even they
are inclined to doubt the confession
and that the case is not yet closed.
1t is regarded as very strange that
window could be broken, the little
girl dragged out, and that no one
heard any outcry.

FOUR JURORS IN DUMAS CASE

The above are the taleSmen who have
been accepted so far to act as jurors
to try the case of the state against
Dr.. D. F. Dumas, mayor of Cass Lake,
charged with attempted arson.
Judge w. S. McClennahan stated
when the remaining five of the panel
had been examined he would issue an
order for special venire, the number
to be determined when issued.
Counsel Pleased With Jurors.
The attorneys for both sides are
pleased with the four men selected as
jurors so far.
Bert Smythe, often spoken of as the
states real star witness, owner of a
Puposky store, was in court much of
the time and watched the proceedings
closely. DR.. Dumas also was in court.
Neither the attorneys for the state or
counsel for the physician would say
anything relative to the case.
The examination of talesmen
brought out much questioning by the
defense as to what effect newspaper
reports of the arrest of DR.. Dumas and
the preliminary hearing had on the
men who had read them, and the eX-
animation along these lines was ar
gued by both sides.
Defense Questions Reports.
The defense also questioned as to
what effect there had been by the re-
ports that Dr. Dumas was alleged to
have been connected with other crimes,
such as the burning of the house at
Cass Lake, and the alleged attempted
destruction of a building at Black
Duck. 1t developed that the state eX-
