CHARGE AGAINST NELSON.
dismissal in u. S. Court to BE Fol-
lowed Up in Office of the
County Attorney.

That the recent dismissal of a. w.
Nelson by the u. S. federal court III
no way Indicates that the case against
him will be dropped until full hear
ing has been had, is Il certainty from
today's developments.
!At a meeting of the Utah National
bank directors. Cashier Rodney L.
Badger was authorized to instruct the
banks attorney to draw up q com
plant, to be filed before county attor-
ney Willard Hanson. This complaint
will bring young Nelson before the
state courts, which have jurisdiction in
all cases of robbery in national banks
where those charged are not directly
connected with the bank in conf
dental capacity.
AS u S. District Attorney Booth has
signined willingness to hand over all
papers In his possession and trans
cript of the evidence produced before
the grand jury, it seems that the case
Will 90 before a state court In about
the same shape that it WAS prepared for
the federal jury.
Mr. Nelson has given out Stale
tment that he much prefers trial than
accepting the order of dismissal made
in the federal court. He viii therefore
no doubt welcome his arrest by the
county officials. 1t is probable that
his arrest will be merely technical upon
the filing Of complaint by the banks
attorney, and that bond such as that
in existence until the dismissal OF the
Indictment in the federal court will be
required.
The Utah National bank, it is un-
ierstood will assist the county attor-
ney's office in preparing the case. The
Handwriting expert. MIR. kttka. is said
to be regularly employed on the coast
al $50 per day, by the government, and
has made this minimum price for
coming here 10 testify. To this salary
his expenses must be added so that
no will prove an expensive witness. II
is understood that his evidence, or tina;
of some other handwriting expert will
be essential TO the case OF the prosecu-
ton, and that he will be nccurea 4,
order that no phase of the trial may
lack completeness. Whether ]. n.

statement about tho robberies.
While i'll Denver the girls father
who is q polisher in a Salt Lake fur
nttule store, made the following state
ment about the case:
About q year ago this man Pretzen-
berger came TO Salt Lake City. He was
out Of work and he being Il country
man of mine l felt sorry for him and
helped him out. had often worked
as u paperhanger and painter in my
spare hours and had all the imple-
ments of those trades at my house.
He being paperhanger by trade /
gave him those implements and. fur
thernore, secured n lot of work for
him. No man was ever treated better
than this fellow, and just to think that
he repays me by running NY dear child!
My daughter disappeared on Aug .,
last, and later l learned that Pretzen-
ber"er had LEFT the city few days be
fore hcr. learned he had sold all the
implements l had given him and had
about $500 when he left. Though /
suspected as much, never knew for
sure he had run away with my daugh-
ter. Louise wrote to mo on Aug. o.,
that she was going to San Francisco.
l hired detectives and told the police
about her case, but | never could find
any trace of her until l saw her picture
and the story Of her arrest in the
papers n few days ago,
'"Fhc pictue OF the man arrested With
her i recognized at once as that of
Pretzenberger. For years my wife
and l had put all our money into q
little home, and when we saw the story
in the papers we didn't have any
money on hand. l took up a mortgage
OF $l5o and came to Denver to help
the poor girl.
l am convinced that Pretzenberger
has hypnotiZed my daughter and has
told her to tell all those lies to the
police here in Denver. She never could
have thought of all this stuff she had
been telling the police regarding her
past life. A better child than Louise
never lived. She never ran around with
any boys and was working in private
family when he ruined her.
