Revertions[edit]

The following text was reverted, and I have now reverted it again. This is more or less a translation (summary) of the article on german wiki:

"Anna Maria Schwegelin was born in poverty in the area under Kempten and served as a maid. In 1751, a protestant was employed as a coachman, and converted to the catholic faith. Schwegelin tried to prevent this. In 1769, she injured her leg, and in 1770, she was put in the poor house. Schwegelin and the coachman had now enterred into a pact with Satan. Suspitions led to an arrest. She freely confessed having made a pact with the Devil. She was judged guilty and sentenced to be executed. The day of execution was set to 11 April 1775. In July 1775, however, the case seems to have been forgotten, and Schwegelin remained in jail, were she died of natural causes in 1781. "--85.226.235.248 (talk) 20:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Text edits[edit]

I came across this article somewhere in a series of links about witch hunting, and noticed that the writing was unwieldy. I've simply rewritten sentences for readability. Eleraama (talk) 06:02, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
