Jerry Nuzum Cleared
OF Murder Charge by
Directed Verdict
BY the Associated Pres,

LAS CRUCES, N. Mex. June 80.
Free of a murder charge by
a directed verdict. Jerry Nuzum,
~, plans to leave the end of
next week to rejoin the Pitts
burgh Steelers football squad for
his fourth season.
The pro halfback was declared
innocent yesterday by District
Judge Charles Fowler in the death
in 1949 of Ovida Coogler, 18-year-
old Las Cruces waitress.
The judge said the prosecution
failed entirely to connect Nuzum
in any way with the death of the
waitress. Her body was found in
a shallow desert grave south of
here April 16. 1949.
Applause in Courtroom.
Spectators in the jammed court
room broke into applause in spite
Of a warning against it. Tears
wet the eyes Of many besides Nu-
zum's family.
1T does not solve nor dispose of
the crime ITSELF" Judge Fowler
said, "hut only brings a verdict
of innocent for the defendant in
this case"
Turning to the jury. the Judge
said, Assuming that every bit of
evidence submitted by the State is
true, there is nothing but con-
lecture, pure and simple, to con-
meet the defendant with the
death.
'It would be an insult to your
intelligence as reasonable men to
ask you to speculate or to guess" !"
Case Not Closed.
Meanwhile. in Santa Fe. Gov.
Edwin Mechem declared, "The
Coogler case isn't closed. We're
going to keep working on it. I'm
not satisfied. The investigation
will continue" When Mr.. Mechem
ran for Governor last year one Of
his campaign planks was that he
would reopen the investigation.
Nuzum called the day the Sec
ond happiest in his life. The first,
he said. was when he was married
to his 25-year-old wife Mary.
IT was always pretty confident, I"
he said. "but naturally I worried.
I didn't see how any one could
say had done it. But you never
can tell"

Valo followed with a triple and

Bob was forced to leave a little
later while pitching to Majeski
and the AS vaulted into 80 lead
in the third inning when Zernial
smashed his 17th homer of Joe
Haynes.
Verble's double and Michaels'
single presented the Mats their
first run in 26 innings in the
eighth off Sam Zoldak and with
one out in the ninth the Mats got
tough when Vernon's double,
Denies single and Clyde Kluttz'
outfield fly produced run.
Verble made a brave bid to tie
the score. He shot a long blow
to right center which was labeled
for extra bases when it left the
bat, but Valo streaked after it and
ended the game with a spectacu-
lar diving stab.
Thus Zoldak's major League
pitching career continued to be
prolonged by the Mats. who have
been his victims in more than a
third of his wins. He possesses a
1876 lifetime record against

Flares Anew in Illinois
Ry fr,a A.sosiatsd Press

FAIRFIELD, Ill, June Co.
Southern Illinois Shelton gang
war flared again early today with
the burning Of a roadhouse where
a man was slain Thursday.
Ogie Pennington's three-room
tavern, 2 miles south of Fairfield,
was burned to the ground. The
tavern had been closed and un-
occupied since Thursdays shoot
ing.

found fatally shot in the tavern
Thursday. Sons was reported
witness to the machine cunning
of Ogie's brother, Guy. 81, and
Guys wife, Lulu Shelton Penning-
ton. on a Fairfield street Thurs

four slugs, was wounded gravely.
Lulu Pennington is the younger

Charles (Blackie) Harris sur
rendered yesterday on a charge Of

The Shelton gang wars date
back to the prohibition era when

the Sheltons were feuding with
the rival Birger gang.
Three Of the five Shelton broth
ers, Carl, Bernie and Roy, have
been killed since 1947. The sur

Committee, took the Senate floor
yesterday to correct the record"

He quoted the late Senator

He said Senator Vandenberg, q
member of the Joint Atomic

Groves the complete falsity OF
stories that there was long and
substantial delay in the use Of
the bomb for international politi-
cal reasons.
New York Writer Quoted.
Senator Mcmahon also quoted
William L. Laurence, New York
Times science writer who wit
messed the New Mexico bomb test,
as writing that atom bomb de-
signers believed in 1945 it would
"fizzle."
He said Mr.. Laurence proved
conclusively that at the time Of
the Yalta conference there was
mot a man alive, least of all
Gen. Groves, who knew that this
great venture was to come to
fruition in July"
"In fact" the Senator added,
Groves would be the last man
for the President to ask about
the proposition, because my in
quiries demonstrate. at least to
my satisfaction. that among all
those who were connected with
the project. he probably knew the
