is serving a life sentence for the con.
fessed murder of Annie Lemberger
Sept. 5, 1911, at Madison, took sen
sational turn, when Martin LENDER
ger, the father of the child, was
arrested for second degree murder;
his wife and son Lewis were arrested
for perjury. Mrs. May Sorenson, a
friend of the Lemberger family, told
authorities that the day following the
murder, Lewis Lemberger, the son
then 8 years old, had confessed to
her that his father killed Annie by
hitting her over the head with beer
bottle while intoxicated; that negro
named Davis had been hired to throw
the body in the lake and that the
family then claimed the girl had been
kidnapped. The Lembergers pleaded
not guilty to the charges and are at
liberty under $4,000 bail. "Dogskin''
Johnson will be eligible to collect
$4,000 from the state for false i'm
prisonment in case he is exonerated.
He claims that his confession was the
result of third degree" methods and
fear of mob violence.
