NELSON GOES FREE
WILL NOT BE COMPELLED TO DE-
FEND A CHARGE OF
PERJURY
EVIDENCE OF GRAND JURORS
as to Statements Made RefOre
Them When the Perjury Alleged
Was in Open Court - Durham
May Secure His FreedOm-The
News of the Flour City.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 11.-Peter Mel
saon will not be called upon to defend
himself against the. charge Of. plying
growing out of the Durham bribery
case. The case for the state rested
upon the evidence of the members OF
a former grand jury. Today the Hen
nepin county bench sitting in banc.
decided that the former grand juries
could not be compelled to testify be-
fore the present body.
Aid. Nelson has been once tried and
convicted of perjury but was released
by the supreme court because of
defective Indictment. The supreme
court ordered the case back to grand
jury, and Nelson's attorney claimed
that the former grand jurors could not,
Under their oaths, testify as to what
evidence had been given before them.
In the argument, Mr.. Arctander, Mr..
Nelson's attorney, claimed that the
statute provided that grand juror
could be made to testify as to the evil
dence given before them, as a body,
where the charge against an accused
was perjury in giving his evidence.
The law he held clearly meant the
testimony given before the grand jury.
In the Nelson case. the perjury charg-
ed was not in the evidence before the
grand jury, but the evidence given be-
fore the court. The state claimed that
Nelson had not perjured himself in the
testimony before the grand jury, but
had told different and a false story,
before the jury when the Durham case
came to trial.
Mr.. Reed argued that such an inter-
pretation of the law as Mr. Arctander
contended for would be against public
policy and would tend to shield a
crime.
The judges held short session and
reached an agreement at once, leaving
1t to Judge Pond to make the an
nouncement. The court held, . Judge
Simpson alone dissenting, that the
grand jurors could not testify except
in case when the perjury was charg-
ed as occurring before the grand jury,
and Mr. Bartlett and the other jurors
refusing to testify were upheld by the
court. The members Of the former
grand jury had been called in the
morning and had refused to give their
evidence for the reason that they were
Informed that under the law they
would be violating their oaths as grand
jurors if they told what evidence had
been given before them
This decision let's out AID. Peter Nell
son, who cannot now be Indicted. It
also, in construction, shows that the
grand jurors should not have testified
IN the former case.
"A proceeding Of the same kind
might have saved Durnam," said Mr..
Arctander. 1T was the evidence of
grand jurors in that case, that practi-
cslly convicted him"
An effort will probably be made to
secure the release Of Durham, by writ
of error, using the same arguments
This Is the first point of this kind ever
made, and is a most important decis-
lon. 1t cannot go to the supreme court,
because the state cannot appeal.
