Our st. Croix county exchanges re-
port the Lincolnshire activities OF
Dist. Atty. Ashley and Sheriff Lar
son; similar reports appear IN our

counties, yet neither team has visited
here on that mission. Reckon that
proves it-we're not only beautiful;
we're pure.

A great deal of interest centers in
the application for pardon made to the
| Governor for Grace Lusk the school
| teacher who shot and killed Mrs. Dav-
| id Roberts in Waukesha, and the ap-
plication of John johnson who con-
! fessed to having murdered 11-year
old Annie Lemberger in Madison nine
years ago. 1t is reported by those
close to the Governor that he will
probably release Miss Lusk on parole
III order that she may receive needed
medical treatment. A rather unique
| method of dealing with the Johnson
case has been adopted by the Cover
nor. johnson will appear by his at
torneys before Court Commissioner
Rufus B. Smith and the testimony
which his alleged confession prevent
| ed from being heard on trial will be
| presented. 1t is rather unsafe to pre-
| dict the outcome of pardon applica-
/ ton but in this case the probabilities
| favor Johnson. From the time he was
rushed into court to confess to the
crime under fear that he was to be
mobbed and with equal haste taken to
Waupun there has been grave doubts
about his guilt. No sooner was john
son safe behind the bars at Waupun
than he repudiated the alleged con-
fession. A large majority of the peo-
pie who took any interest in the case
believe Johnson is innocent of the
crime he is charged with and hope
that he will be pardoned.
