Madison, Wis., Sept. 13.?John, otherwise known as "Dogskin" Johnson, to-night confessed to the abduction and murder of little Annie Lemberger, the seven-year-old child, whose body was found in Lake Monona last Saturday. He was immediately sentenced by Judge Anthony Donovan' to life imprisonment. A few minutes afterwards Johnggv son was taken in an automobile by Sheriff Andrew Brown to the State |P*, prison at Waupun. It had been fearjp^.V ? ed that Johnson might be lynched. ??|it; Johnson was arrested Saturday on ( suspicion, but after being questioned he was released. The officers had him under surveillance all day and in the evening once more placed him under arrest. Although the police strongly sus, pected Johnson of knowing something about the crime thqfy could not fasten guilt upon him absolutely. On the strength of their suspicion, however, he was taken into court to-day, pleaded not guilty and was placed under a $10,000 bond, the preliminary examination being set for September 25. The prisoner was then taken back to his cell. He was plainly frightened. Toward evening Turnkey JohnFoye was called by Johnson and t?ld he wished to make a confession. Chief of Police Shaughnessy was informed and sent for District Attorney R. N. Nelson, the county prosecutor, chief of police and other officials soon gathered about the court house, where the prisoner, before Donovan, confessed to the crime. Johnson said the deed was the result of a sudden impulse. He had watched through the window the little girl and her sister undress at bed time on numerous occasions, and on the fateful night, shortly after the children had fallen asleep, he raised the sash and snatched little Annie from the bed, dragged her through the window and struck her unconscit:' ous so there would be no outcry. He then took her to the railroad bridge and after beating her until life was extinct, threw the body into Lake Monona. ?

Ernest Rollins, of Greer, in Spartanburg Jail Awaiting Trial. Spartanburg, Sept. 13.?Ernest Rollins, "a young white man of Greer, was to-night arreste#d by Con-j stable McCall on a warrant issued by Magistrate K. M. Bowden and! sworn out by the Rev. Mack R. I. j Caldwell, pastor of Beaumont Chapel. The warrant alleges that Rollins, who is a married man, about 30 years old, attempted to criminally assault a relative of the prosecutor. It is charged that on Sunday evening while the 3|)ung ladyin question was visiting at Greer, Rollins entered the room, in which two young ladies were sleeping together; that he choked his intended victim to inconsciousness, and before his purpose was carried out the other young lady was awakened and gave the alarm. The little .town of Greer was much wrought up over the act of Rollins, and when officers had made the ar rest there were plans for lynching the prisoner, according to a statement of Constable McCall. However, no violent hands were laid on the man, and he was brought to this city and lodged in the county jail to await a preliminary hearing, which will be held as soon as the witnesses can be summoned. , Twice Convicted. Another lawyer's story arrives. We are told that a man was charged with picking a pocket the other day and that when arraigned he pleaded "guilty." The case went to the jury, however, and the verdict was "not guilty." And the court spake as follows: "You don't leave this court without a stain on your character. By your own confession you are a thief. By the verdict of the jury you are a liar."?Cleveland Plain Dealer. Young Boy* Hangs Himself. St. Martinsville, La., Sept. 12.?

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 13.?Five hundred farmers, and as many hankers congressmen, United States senators and business men, representing every cotton growing State in America, declared in convention to-day that the farmers' cotton is worth 15 cents a pound, and resolved that the farmer should hold his cotton for that price.
