BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, JAN. 17, 1917. ATE. MAN TURNED BLACK, SAYS. WOMAR CLAIMING TO IDENTIFY ALLEGED MURDERER Syracuse, N..Y., Jan. 17.—“John Nel- son,” mysterious man and alleged slay er, who reads Shakespeare while he awaits execution, in a cell at Tunk- “wannock, Pa., has been identified by a ¥'Woman as a white man whose entire ‘Tite ‘was changed when HIS SKIN TURNED BLACK! Such is the story. at least, the Pennéylvania board of pardons will hear on Jan. 17 from the lips of a Syracuse woman who keeps her iden- uty secret She says “Nelson's” name is Dennic Hermann, and that she cared for him as a boy. She declares she knows where his relatives are living. t “Nelson” has been indicted for the murder of J. M. Sickler of Mill City, Pa. Since his arrest he has shrouded his identity with mystery, except to tell the authoritics his right name is not “Nelson.” Hermann, according to the story now told, born in New Orlean: and brought to New York by his p: ents when a youth, When his skin began to assume an olive hue. his mother passed him off as a Hebrew, | the Syracuse woman asserts, and | placed him in a Jewish school, His skin continued to grow darker, and Mrs, Hermann transferred him to another school. He disappeared when 18 years of! age, and for years wandered about the | country, for a time living in Lima and j other Ohio ¢ g i When he was completely black, he | returned to New York, and for a time | lived at the family residence. Then he disappeared, and was not again beard from. His sisters Alice and Louise, and brother Felix, give hiny up as dead. The crime for which “Nelson” is sentenced to die is one of the stranz- | “ voor Mandan, N. D., Jan. 17. est in criminal annals. | Here is the story according to tes- | timony: !

Suddenly a cloud passed over the! moon and a stranzy beam of its light! struck him full in the face. He turned his head, whipped out a knife, and at- tacked Judge Westlake. Sickler sprang between the two and was stabbed in the heart. The other two men were wounded. He was sentenced to die on Jan. 8, bat a respite was granted to permit ac- | tion by the pardon board.

Iystery Man Held con Murder Charge HERO OF MANILA BAY (Continued from page one) that Dewey received his first baptism in war. “Valuable as the training of Annap- olis was, it was poor schooling beside that of serving under Farragut in time of war,” Admiral Dewey once said. “Whenever I have been in a difficult situation or in the midst of such a confusion of details the simple and right thing to do have often asked myself Farragut do.” In the course of prep- arations for Manila Bay, 1 often asked myself this question, and 1 confess 1 was thinking of him the night we en- tered the bay and with the conviction that I was doing precisely what he would have done.” George Dewey was born in the sha- dow of Vermont's state capital at Montpelier, on the day following Christmas in 1837.

Sampson said: “The service knows Dewey as an ideal head of a fleet. Perfectly cour- ageous, of thoroughly balanced judg- ment and quick of decision, he has the qualities which carry one to fame if opportunity be given, The man and the hour fortunately came together and the country is richer in another brilliant page of history and another heroic figure. His career has given a lofty impetus to the young which will bear fruit in nobler aspirations. He become one of the most valued me —a national her ao | CITY NEWS | ee ee K. OF P. MEETING.
