Jury had reached n verdict IL was
heard with surprise.
As the jury HE into the court
room with its finding there was Just
a handful OF the huge crowd OF spec
tators which a been in attendance at
the trial.
When Judge c. o. Brown formally
questioned the jury as to whether
II had arrived at n verdict or not.
Burton Nye. the foreman responded IN
the affirmative.
When the verdict charging Nichoi-
son with voluntary manslaughter was

self TO prevent a show OF emotion.
Judge Murane requested hat the
jury be polled. so that the decision u

penalty to the discretion of court. with
the exception that the punishment
shall not exceed n sentence Of twenty
years in the state ~penitontiary.
No formal notice OF appeal or OF a
request for n new trial was served but
1t is understood thai the defense con-
templates such procedure.
Nicholson's conviction is the out
growth OF the killing OF Edward Schu-
ster following an alteration OF some
kind in front of the Hong Kong cafe
in the West a street section of the
sand Bar district. Schuster and Mich
olson mad some words when the for
mer drove his taxi in front OF the
building and bad blood which existed
between the two men eliminated in
the fatal shooting.
The defense. represented by Judge
c. D.. Murane of the firm of Hagens
and Muranc and Judge Il. +. Watson
Of North Carolina, contended hat
Nicholson first disarmed Schuster and
then shot the t~ax!-driver in the neck,
fleeing from the scene before he knew
whether the shot he had fired hit
Schuster or not.
The state. ably represented by
county Attorney NJ. w. Purcell. as
sisted by JOIN Casey. inherited the
case from a FORMER administration and
prosecuted Nicholson diligently. Mr.,
Purcell asked for a first degree we'd
dict without capital punishment.
This case disposes OF all important
criminal actions on the fall term and
completed a list OF straight convictions
for the county attorneys office. The
cases which have been disposed Of are
