 Nelson left the lighthouse Friday, saying he was cold and would buy some bed clothes on the manland He did not return and >ne lightkeeper, George Tenneson, became worried as it is against the rules for a seaman to remain more than 12 hours away from the light Not until Monday did Neil son return and then he acted very strangely. Among other things he had been 10 chapman meetings and felt bad
 At the light he talked strangely. He thought he was the king of Norway and then that he had been cheated out of an election to congress. a position for which he had received two votes Then he talked about religion. Tha keeper went on shore, leaving Thurs tenson and Nelson at the light
 i Because Nelson acted SO strangely Thurstenson did not dare to go to bed, so he watched his companion all night. ] At 9 o'clock yesterday morning Nelson ] took a butcher knife and tried to cut ] his throat. Thurstenson seizng the blade just in time Then all through l the morning Nelson talked about relig I ion and at o'clock in the afternoon again tried to kill himself. Thursten son was not thoroughly frightened and decided that he would take Nelson tn the shore to some physician It was i impossible to leave the light at that
 timt of the day. and so Nelson started off Slone. Thurstenson to follow in i anotifN boat. Nelson told his compan- ion to bring over his money to tht
 shore and took with him only sS

In conformity with the law no de- cision was rendered
