Martin Schwab pleads guilty to murder life sentence
Martin Schwab, arrested in this city last June by Sheriff Butler for the Lake Benton murder of John Lorenson, pleaded guilty to the crime and received a life term at Bullwater penitentiary. He claimed intoxication, but attempted flight after the act, boarding a midnight train to Mankato and then Bancroft. He was later found fishing south of town and arrested in Estherville. The report also covers a wedding write up for Ringham and Wold, and political notes on Hon. Frank P. Woods, with a local ad for The Youth Companion.
