JUROR TURNS TO PRISONER
Held Out for Conviction; Then
Gave Acquitted Man a Job.
COCKRAN'S CLIENT FREED
Triumph of Oratory in Discharge
of Negro Accused of Shoot
ing Friend.

Victor Nelson, the young negro, who
was on trial during the last week in
General Sessions, charging murder In
the first degree. was acquitted by the
jury last night. after five hours deliber-
alton Nelson was defended by w
Bourke Cochran, who was assigned by
the court when Nelson declared his in
ability to engage a lawyer.
The jurors and the counsel whose elo-
quence saved Nelson from the electric
chair held a love feast in the courtroom
after his acquittal- In the midst Of 1t
Adam GroII, one OF the jurors, who had
held out in favor of conviction for five
hours against his eleven associates, Of
fered Nelson a job in a livery stable of
which Groll is manager.
The offer was promptly accepted, and
Nelson. whose life had hung in the
balance only few minutes before, left
the courthouse a free man, with work
to go to on Monday morning.
The jurors who acquitted Nelson dis
claimed any effect upon them of the
oratory Of Mr.. Cochran, who spoke for
two hours and a half in summing up.
They declared that the good character
borne by Nelson before the shooting
had saved his life High school prin-
cipals and business men OF Cleveland
where Nelson formerly lived, testified
for him.
Judge O'Sullivan. in dismissing the
Jury, congratulated Nelson upon his
good fortune in having the services OF
Mr. Cochran, and complimented Assist
ant District Attorney Mccormick upon
the mastery manner in which he had
marshalled the facts of the prosecution
case. Judge OSullivan intimated that
oratorv had won over recital Of the
cold facts.
Nelson was charged with having shot
and killed Claude Humphreys, another
negro in A laundry on March %. The
defendant on the witness stand declared
that Humphreys had drawn a pistol on
him before he fired.
In his address counsel for Nelson threw
him upon the mercy Of the jurors deny
ing that he was their equal. but appeal
inc to them TO accord the negro at least
tho same consideration that they would
give to q faithful dog which up TO the
time Of his transgression hao oeeh q
good dog.
incidentally Mir. Cochran attacked the
credibiIity OF the members Of the police
,force who had testified as to an alleged
confession of Nelson's that he had no re
gret for killing Humphreys. He declared
that the police of New York fabricated
evidence which they had not the intelli-
gence TO discover" and SAID the New
York police force was the most inef-
dcient in the world in bringing criminals

COMES TO GROW UP AT 1O7
German Immigrant SollCltOuS of

CENTENARIAN HAD $4,000
Convinces Inspectors Family
Will Not Become Burden to
State of North Dakota.

A joke unusually popular in the
Comic papers in the early part of the
nineteenth century was revived yester-
day at Ellis Island. II was new to the
younger inspectors. but the veterans de
ciared it was covered with the proverbial
moss. II was about a seventy -year-old
man who was found weeping by the
roadside near the home of the Duke of
of Wellington. and on being asked the
reason for his tears told a kindly passer-
by that his grandfather had thrown
stones at him.
The innocent cause Of the revival Of
this bearded bit Of humor was Peter
Bekel. a German. 1O7 years old. He
came here on the Cunarder Lusitania on
Friday and left Ellis Island yesterday
for Grafton. N D.. where he will live
with his sons grandchildren.
Bekel. despite his years. was the GUS
todian of $500 belonging TO himself
and younger relatives who had accom-
panied him from his home in Southern
Russia. The old mans wrinkled face
and shrunken frame bespoke his age. but
a bright. shifty eye and fairly active
movement of mind and body suggested
that the aged traveller might live to see
a transatlantic aeroplane contest.
The immigration officials were first at
tracted to the old man when his son.
George Bekel. seventy years old. came
before them for examination. Asked If
he had any money with him. the veuer-
able son replied that ne had not
We'll. you're a pretty old man to come
into this port without any cash. said
the inspector.
.'Oh. 1 have money" said George. but
1t is not in my care. My father carries
the money for all of US.
Your what?" gasped the inspector.
My father. Peter Bekel. That old
man over there with the cane. talking
to my two grandchildren
Bring him here said the inspector
The sprightly centenarian walked up
TO the desk. and I'm fairly good German,
mixed with a sort of Russian patois.
answered all questions promptly he
said he was 1O7 years old and was ac-
companied by his son. George. and the
latter's wife. who was sixty y-flve years
old. In the party also were George 5
son. Frederick. forty-five years old:
Trrederick's wife and their two chill
dren.
When the question of money was men
toned the senior Bekel thrust forth d
roll containing S4jO0. Then came d
shower of affidavits from the great
grandchildren in North Dakota. and
within a few minutes Peter Bekel and
his marty we're admitted TO the country.
Some Of the old mans progeny mar
ried early i'm life and IL is said that
when he gets to North Dakota he will
meet a few great reat-Sreat-g grand
children.
George BekeI said his father withstood
the fatigue of travel well. but that he
became excited when gossip Of Halley's
comet spread about the Lusitania. The
old man professed to know all about H.
and told OF having seen il when he was
g voung man He was positive he saw
the HALEY comet twice before its pres
ant visit. but his son convinced him that
he was hardly 40 years old.
