NELSON ACQUITTED :
".-. OF MURDER CHARGE
Jury Deliberated Short Time
|, Case Begun Wednesday.


Otto Nelson, young farmer OF
Lowndesyille, charged with the muir
der Of Floyd Mccullough, at Iva
Christmas Eve, was acquitted by a
jury this morning: The jury was out
Fbut . short time. -.
Mr.gNelson was represented by T.
Frank Watkins, Of this city and J.
Howard Moore Of Abbeville and Cen
eral II i Bonham appeared with Sol
ictor Harris in the prosecution.
Mr.. Nelson interposed a plea OF
self defense when the trial began yes
terday and introduced witnesses to
show that McCollugh and Nelson had
fought beneath a Ford touring cal
that was parked in front Of Suther-
lands garage, after Mccullough had
attacked Nelson from behind. Lon
Nc Collough, a brother Of the dead
man, prevented two Of Nelson's COM
panions Interfering with the fight,
witnesses for the defense testified.
Threats that had been made on the
life Of Otto Nelson by Floyd McCol'
ough, who was killed at Iva, Christ
mas eve, following an attack on Mel,
SON. were communicated to Nelson by
friends at Lowndesville, according to
testimony yesterday afternoon in the
case of the state against Otto Mel.
son, standing trial for the murder OF
Floyd Mccullough. These threats
are alleged to have been made after
Nelson and Mccullough had fought in
the early spring of 1919, Nelson in
juring Mccullough to such an extent
that q physician was summoned to
dress his face wounds.
There are two conflicting stories
arising out Of the testimony Of the
prosecution and the defense. Lon
Me- Collough, a brother Of the dead
man and an eyewitness, testified that
he was near sutherland's garage and
overheard, the dispute between Mel
som SON and his brother, Floyd McCol-
Tough. When he looked in the direc-
tion Of the Ford car, under which it
was testified the two men fought,
Mccullough states he saw one Of Mel
sons companions attempt to strike
Floyd Mccullough with an automo-
bile pump. At this time, he testified
his brother and Otto Nelson were
engaged in the struggle beneath the
car, and he ran over to the man with
the pump and told him not to strike
Floyd Mccullough. After the man
hadi dropped the pump, Mccullough
testified and called for assistance in
pushing the car off the men, when he
heard the shot fired.
On cross examination, the witness
denied that he had drawn his pistol
and order Nelson's compaions to
stand back during the fight between
Floyd Mccullough and Otto Nelson.

CRISIS

KES0AlS IN lAES<S>G0 <NA~S
SERIOUS COAL STRIKE STU
ALTON IN GREAT BRITAIN.
London, April 7.-Another day OF
tense alterations Of hope and fear
ended with one Of the prime mini
stet's characteristic eleventh hour
interventions, bringing renewed
prospects that the grave industrial
crisis will be averted. He announced
in the house of commons tonight the
willingness Of the government to
participate in a conference to dis
cuss the question Of pumping before
other matters were considered.
Informal conferences were con-
tinued through the evening by mod
crates like Mr.. Asquith, Lord Rob
ert Cecil, Arthur Henderson and
John Robert Clynes working hard in
an endeayor to induce the miners to
pelent on the question Of pumping
and twas supposed that the whole
question was turning on this slender
hope. ~. = +. q,
Premier Lloyd George had been
absent during the latter hours of the
dbate ON the situation but returned
to the house unexpectedly at II
o'clock and informed the members
that the government had agreed to
a. course which it is believed prac:
ticallss certain the miners will ac-
'cept-th calling Of conference Of
owners and miners to discuss. with
the: government the diHiculty rela-
tive to- pumping before touching up
on the question Of wages and others
involved in the demands of the men.
What steps exactly had led up to
this change of front are unknown
as yet. Arthur Henderson, who rose
to reply to the premier was clearly
nonLplussed. He had, he said, to ex-
press regret that. he premier had not
given notice of such an important
statement as Mr.. Thomas, secretary
of the national union OF railway
men, to whose suggestion it was ap-
parently due, and other leaders had
gone, home. 81.
As he had explained, earlier the
miners federation would have pre-
ferred to open the conference with
out conditions on either side but he
had not had an opportunity to con-
suit the federation since the after
noon therefore he could not assume
responsibility in the matter. He
thought the only safe line would be
for the prime minister to place his
statement in a letter to the officials
for consideration.
The organizations composing the
triple alliance held no further
meetings tonight; they are appar-
emily holding hands until tomorrow.
The board of trade issued an official
port of today's negotiations for
the enlightenment Of the public. The
report sets forth the arguments Of
both sides and concluding with a
strong reputation of the accusation
that the government is engaged in
q general attack on wages, says:
.tSuch. a charge is as monstrous as
Ii IS ,unfeunded. The government
:and community alike are DESTROYS
tint the-bess wages should be paid
in every industry that such indus
try can afford" ---
The council of the independent
labor party called upon its members
to support the miners by every
means, in their power, declaring
the crisis was due to "an attempt on
the part of organized capitalism to
establish the rights of unlimited
plunder and degrade the standard of
living, which must be resisted at all
costs.

Chanqe-Ringers.

English peals are rung by man to
a bell, the bell swinging on heavy
mounting, starting at an inverted po-
sitiOn when it is at rest The bell is
attached to a wheel over which a rope
Is strung pulley-wise, each ringer hav-
ing the two ends in his hands. The
ringers-they call themselves Change
ringers"-stand in Il circle, with con-
ductor in the center. 1t takes year
of training, one night week, to make
change-rnger 1t requires strong
tower to stand the strain of the swing
ing bells. The effect of the swinging
IS to give more beautiful tone than
that of a fixed bell.
Change-ringers usually are trained
church folk. The Ancient Society OF
College Youths, founded in 1887, is
their London organization. There are
more than a thousand members who
meet monthly and ring special peals
in relays. On the kings birthday. cor
onation day, peace day and others,
thero is such a demand for change
ringers that the bell foundries are
called upon for their professional band.
But none of the other change-ringers
are paid.-LondOn Mail.
