Nelson Peery was arrested with
out a warrant on Aug. 10, 1916, as
he was attending a Y.MC.A. SEM
mar at Concordia College. He was
brought TO trial on a tab" charge
Of indecent exposure"
Six young women employees Of
Brown and Bigelow testified that
they had seen Peery nude through
the open windows Of the dormi-
tory. Neither Peery nor the school
officials thought the charge would
be accepted by the court because
Of Peery's reputation and because
the young women actually had no
business walking through the cam
pus Of the school.
Judge John l.. Rounds Of St.
Paul municipal court after hearing
testimony sentenced Peery to 30
days in the workhouse. Both Min
neapolis and St. Paul was quickly
aroused because of Peery's repu-
tation and a committee was i'm
mediately formed TO investigate
the case.
On Aug. 30, Judge Rounds
granted Peery new trial. On
Sept. IL the city prosecutor brought
n written complaint against him.
After a hearing on Sept. IL, Judge
Rounds reversed himself and va
Gated his previous new trial order,
and Peery was ordered TO the
workhouse.
Citizens rallied TO Peery's de-
Tense and his case was submitted
to the Minnesota Supreme Court
In May.
Friday, July 10. was the day
that the State Supreme Court
handed down its decision, not only
reversing the conviction. but dis
charging the defendant from Gus
