DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE

Pierre. S. D.=A large sum of
money-between $1,000 and $4,000.
was stolen from a drawer in the
desk OF John T. Nelson, assistant sec
rotary of state, in the office of that
department. according to the testi-
money of Mr.. Nelson before the joint
Investigating committee. Nelson gave
this as the reason why the cash &C.
count was short and December set
Elements had not been made until
January 80. The loss, he said, was
also responsible f or some of the dis
crepancy found by Accountant Trur-
an, although some OF it vas due to
error, loss of credit accounts, and
failure OF the accountant to give
credit for items charged twice by
mistake.
Nelson took on himself the fun
blame for all the shortage and him
self deposited 81 ,0O0.in the Ameri-
can Exchange bank to make up the
mount of the December settlements.

Belle Tourche, S. D.-Instead of

the authorities that William Brick
son. 4 brother-in-law of the dead mar
had committed the crime and that he.
Daniels, had witnessed Erickson
shoot Keskitali to death.
As Erickson "a implicated in
1924 in the killing of Jim Garrett
