SAN Francisco. Sept. 1e.-George
Nelson. aged e5. who was wanted for
bank robbery In I,os Angeles last
month, ended his life this morning after
battling for six hours with sixty police
men. who rained bullets into his room
from nearby buildings.
Having located Nelson in a lodging
house in populous section of the city
the police occupied the upper floors OF
the residence Of Bishop Edwin H..
Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. and guided by searchlghts
played from the roofs OF other dwellings
In the vicinity began to lombard the
robber.
Nelson had three automatic pistols
and plenty OF ammunition and he re-
turned the fire Cf the police until a
shot through his right arm weakened
him. Peter Hammond. one os the po-
licemen. was hit twice by Nelson and
a lodger in the same building was seri-
ously wounded by stray shot.
After trying in vain TO stanch the
flow of blo-d from his wound with a
towel Nelson lay down on his cot and
sent n bullet into his head. At daylight
the police broke into the room. Nelson
had been dead for two hours. The floor
of the room was Uttered with broken
glass and splinters OF wood.
The police found si00 in Nelson's
room and they believe that this was
part OF the haul which he made from
the Los Angeles bank.
