MICHIGAN
IS HE A PARRICIDE?
Norway, Mich, Young Man Is on
Trial for Numbering His
Aged Father.
Remains Found Several Months
After the Crime Under a
Pile of Brush.

Special to The Journal. .-5~s sa
Iron Mountain, Mich, Oct. 2O.-Over
week has been consumed in the celebrated
Erickson murder trial in which Nels
Erickson, a Norway young man, is ac-
cused of having killed his father in cold
blood on the morning of May %, 1902, in
secluded spot in the woods near the New
Y ork Lake falls, two miles from Norway
The elder Erickson was known to have
carried $1,000 on his person. On the morn
ing of the 18th he left the house at 7
O'Clock to reset some fish hooks and has
not been seen since. His supposed re-
mains were found on Nov. 9,>1992, under
a brush pile by a farmer and his nephew
who were engaged in picking stones on the
farm near the lake. Two buckshots were
found in the skull and there was frac-
ture supposed to have been caused by a
blunt instrument. The remains had be-
come decomposed and the only way in
which they could be identified were by
the clothes and watch chain found upon
them. - ...~ 4. - As*-. T. -
The son left the house the morning of
the disappearance before the old man and
took back alleys out of the city and stated
he went In an entirely different direction.
He Is said to have had a gun with him.
A gun was found in the woods few days
before the remains and near them. This
is said to have been the gun belonging to
the son and it has been received in evil
.dence in the case. He is said to have dis
couraged all search for his father, saying
that he had skipped and would return
some time, and that strangers had since
seen him in towns of Minnesota and the
west. The defendant owed debts amount
ing to several hundred dollars before the
disappearance Of the old man and in a
month thereafter paid them. During the
same summer he came to Iron Mountain,
made his way in the social circles, wooed
a fine young lady and became engaged
to her and spent money with lavish
hand. -. r.. -"
He was arrested last fall since which
time he has been incarcerated in the
county jail. The defense made it's open
ing address to the jury yesterday after
noon and called its first witness to the
stand to-day. It is expected that the
remainder Of the week will be used in the
trial. H. .- ....-5
