MASON| CONFESSION Theodore Larson, Self Con- fessed Murderer of Nels Nelson, Examined. SAYS HIS MIND WAS BLANK SINCE JULY 4. Tells Story of His Whereabouts at Time When Body Was " Found in River. Crookston Times: At the pre- liminary hearing of Theodore! Larson, the Northome man who recently confessed to the murder of Nels Nelson in this city in the fall of 1903, the self accused man told a remarkable story of his whereabouts during the fall in which he confessed the killing of Nelson in Judge McLean’s court this morning and apparently has every date for severa! months previous to and after the tragedy in this city down pat and an alibi established. That is, as far as the investigations of the man’s story and dates have been made by Sheriff Gonyea and Chief Eck of this city his yarn fits together very nicely. When shown his own written confession, by acting County At- torney Gossman, Larson denied that he had ever inspired itor that he had ever seen it before, asked if he was ever arrested in Northome, he stated that he _ | could not remember. “Do you know this man?”’ said Mr. Gossman, pointing to the Northome Justice who took Lar- son’s confession.” “Never saw him in my life that I know of,” was the response in broken English. “Know this man?”’ pointing to the village marshall who arrested Larson after his confession. “Seems to me I have seen him somewhere but I cannot tell where,’”’ was the reply of the un- shaved, long haired, nervous Northomite. Asked as to his whereabouts in the fall of 1903 Larson slowly but clearly and concisely toid of his travels and wonderings, from the middle of August, when he was sick in Thief River and remained at Rasmussen’s hotel until Decem- ber 19, when he received a sum of money, about $100, there on an old note, to this city with one Jake Bakken a traveling minister on Octobgr 27. While in this city the accused ate supper at a res- taurant, did not know the name of the place butsaida tall red headed m n waited upon him. He drank several glasses of whis- key at the Palace saloon, but could not tell where he slept. Knew that he had not been ar rested here, but could not tell whether he lodged at the West hotel or at Allard’s boarding house on North Main street. On the 29 he left for Bemidji, stayed there two days and boarded the train for Blackduck where he boarded at the Christiania hotel until November 3rd, leaving at that time for Northome where he was employed or worked for Sailor Pete or Peter Johnson; On November 4 he returned to Miz- pah and on the 5th to Tenstrike where he was employed in the cord wood camps until the 19th. After that he went to Bemidji where he was taken sick and was confined to the hospital for ten|" days, leaving at the end of that time for Tenstrike and later for Mizpah, where he was employed by Charles Gilbertson. Asked as to whether he knew Nels Nel- | son, accused stated positively that he had never seen him. “Have you read anything about Nelson or his murder,”” said Mr. Goussman. “Yes,” responded Larsen, “When I was working for Cnarlie Gilbertson we read s veral articles about the finding of Nelson’s body in the river.” ’ | NErErCATIAIEE DAN FLOOD VICTIMS EDITORIAL.
