Southern Church
With a History
(By United Press,

Washington, D. C.-Many odd things
have occurred in the one hundred years
of history of old st. Peters Episcopal
church here. The church recently cele-
brated its centennial. In the century
the congregation has had only Ave
senior, wardens. The present senior
warden is married to granddaughter
of the first.
There have been a number Of rec
tors. One of these served A years.
Celebrities and aristocrats of the re-
gion have been identified with the ca
reer of ST. Peters. A crystal chande-
lier now in the church was a present
from the minister to Russia under
Vanburen. The church is an ivy-clad
edifce surrounded by graves of many
notables. The founder of the first
Washington, which was a town before
George Washington, became the father
of his country, gave the ground for
the church in re-revolutionary times.
Every Sunday morning the envelope
of member long dead goes into
the collection plate. A woman par
ishioner left three houses to be rented
for this purpose.

of life sentence for the murder of
seven year old Anne Lemberger here
in 1911, crime which the governor
said he was convicted he did not com

for false imprisonment, Attorney Cen
eral William J. Morgan held today.
Johnson had asked $4,000 from the
state.
In his opinion, the Encouragement

that johnson had Shy his plea OF
guilty contributed to bringing about
his conviction and imprisonment
and concluded that upon the face OF
the petition he is not entitled to com.
pensation."
johnson may appeal to the circuit
court of Dane county to contest this
holding which will deprive him of the
funds which he counted on to pay the
costs of court actions made necessary
to bring about his freedom
This man was freed from the state
prison after extended hearings on his

Lemberger, father of the girl had
been charged with manslaughter in
connection with her death. He did not

GOES TO TRIAL
Mrs. Nakros, one Of the
Amazons who Resisted
Police, in Court.
BAKER RAzES POLICE

How Mrs. Nike Nakros resisted three

tive Breidt and that after he had read
the search warrant to Mrs. Nakros
who was the only one present, she
blocked the door to the rear room and
further took the aggressive against the
invaders by arming herself with a
cleaver.
Three Officers Put to Rout.
Rock explained that in the beliger-
ent mood Of Mrs. Nakros, it was i'm
possible to search the place for they
had no sooner managed to get the
cleaver out Of her hands than she
started for the butcher knife. AS the
place in addition to being grocery
was meat market as we'll, it was
bristling with weapons that provided
the Amazon with ammunition to hold
the fort and finally the police officers
let her hold it and went their way,
returning only to serve warrant for
arrest upon her for resisting the
officers.

R. v. Baker, who represented the de-
Tense as counsel.

away.
The case commenced this morning
and will go to the jury sometime this
afternoon. Mrs. Nakros is the wife Of
