MURDERER
CONFESSES
HIS CRIME
Threw Little Girl Into
Lake; Gets Lite
in Prison.

Madison, Wis. Sept l4.-John J.
Johnson. otherwise known as Dog
skin" Johnson, last evening confessed
to the abduction and murder Of Little
Annie Lemberger. z years old, whose
body was found in Lake Monona last
Saturday morning. He was immed-
lately sentenced BY Judge Anthony
Donovan to life imprisonment.
A few minutes after his confession
and sentence. Johnson was taken In
an automobile by Sheriff Brown and
deputy through side streets and
across the country at rapid clip to
the state penitentiary at Waupun.
The greatest secrecy was maintain-
ed because Of fears that Johnson might
be lynched.
Toward evening Deputy Henry Page
was called by johnson and told john
son wished to make confession.
Chief Of Police Shaugnessy was at
once informed of the prisoners desire
and sent word to District Attorney
Nelson. The county prosecutor, the
chief Of police and other officials soon
gathered at the court house and In a
few minutes the prisoner was before
Judge Donovan. Johnson then con-
fesed the brutal crime.
In the presence OF Chief OF Police
Shaugnessy, District Attorney Nelson
and Turnkey Foye. Johnson said that
the deed was the result Of sudden
impulse. He had watched through
the bed room window. the little girl
and her sister undress at bedtime on
different occasions. On the fatefuI
night about 10 o'clock shortly after
the children had fallen asleep, he
raised the sash and snatched little
Annie from the bed. dragged her
through the window and knocked her
on the head with his fist. rendering
her Unconscious. SO there would be no
outcry He then took her to the rail-
road bridge. and after beating her on
the head until life was extinct threw
the body into the lake.
Johnson said he did not want to make
detailed Confession because he
wanted to be on his way to Waupen
to avoid mob violence He said he
would make written confession after
he had been lodged in prison.
Johnson once served a term in PEN
itentiary and several years ago he was
put in the Mendoza hospital for the
insane. after he had assaulted a little
girl at Brownyille, Wis.
Johnson lived but few doors from
the Lemberger home. The father Of
the murdered girl told the police that
he and Johnson had had quarrel
once. but hesitated to charge the crime
to him. It was largely because no
other solution offered that the police
held Johnson.
