The Full Bench of the Supreme
Judicial Court Denies the AppIi-
cation of Counsel for Oscar W.
Nelson
CASE MAY TAKEN TO
UNITED STATES COURTS
Sullivan & 0'ConneII Will Get the
Full Text of the Decision Before
Proceeding Farther--They Seek
to Admit Statement by Widow
of Murdered Man

The full bench of the Supreme Judi
cial Court overruled the exceptions of
Oscar w. Nelson, yesterday. Nelson
was found guilty March %. of the muir
der of Gustav Erickson, by jury in
the Superior Court in this city. He
was sentenced to life Imprisonment and
is serving sentence at Charleston.
The rescript was received in this city
yesterday. 1t says that there was no
error in the exclusion of the questions
that were asked.
1t is possible that Sullivan & OCon-
nell, counsel for Nelson, may take the
case to the United States courts The
Spy man saw the members of the firm
yesterday but they had nothing to say
about the case. They will secure the
full text of the opinion, before proceed
ing further.
Erickson was stabbed in his own bed,
with his own knife which the murder
err had picked up on his way to the
chamber on Nov. 10, 1900. Mrs Erick
son and Oscar Johnson, said to have
been a rejected sutton of Mrs. Erick-
sons were, in turn, arrested, but each
established his innocence. Then Mel
son was suspected, arrested in Clinton,
indicted, tried and convicted. At his
trial. the court excluded questions
which his counsel asked Mrs. Erick-
son concerning an alleged remark
made to officer B. f. Brown that she
thought that Johnson killed her hus-
band and counsel for the defense took
exceptions.
In overruling the exceptions, the full
bench holds that these questions were
properly excluded since it was imma-
terial what she thought as to who it
was that had committed the deed; that
the questions were not admissible for
the purpose of contradiction since the
form of the questions excluded the idea
that they related or could be under
stood to relate to the impression she
had formed at the time of the murder
as to the identity of the murderer.
The trial was one of the most re-
markable in the history of Worcester
County, on account of the care
which the conviction was secured, and
the remarkable stoicism of the accused
These rescripts were also handed
down:
In Boston & Albany Railroad Com
pany VS.. City of Worcester-ordered
that the clerk enter judgment for the
petitioners on the first claim for 1925
with interest, from April 1891 and on
the second claim for $500 with interest,
from April 8, 1901. Judgment for de-
PENDANTS on third and fourth claims.

was then stated and unanimously
