resignation 10 the president.
William Lochren, of Minnesota. was
nominated to be United States district
irdge for the district of Minnesota,
vice Rennslacr Il. Nelson, resigned.
Duluth. Mimi, May 16.-There was
considerable surprise in the United
States court Friday over the retirement
of Judge Nelson. He was in the midst
of trial when he astonished everyone
by Diminishing the jury, adjourning
court, and announcing his retirement to
private life. Judge Nelson is one OF the
Oldest judges in point of service on the
federal bench, having been appointed
nearly 40 years ago.
Washington, May l6.-The Minnesota
senator's interpret the dispatch an
nouncing the resignation of Judge r..
Il. Nelson, of the Minnesota district, as
mere request for retirement, rather
than an absolute resignation from the
bench. This is the natural superstition
because Judge Nelson has served the
requisite number of years and on
Wednesday of this week reached the
age OF 20, at which he may be retired.
