CORNERED ROBBER
ENDS OWN LIFE
San Francisco. A thrilling six-hour
battle between 60 policemen and
George Nelson, 25 years old, wanted
for complicity in the robbery last
month of a Los Angeles bank, ended
at dawn when Nelson's bullet-riddled
body was found stretched on a cot In
a rooming-house. He had ended his
own life by sending a bullet through
his head.
The house where he had successful
ly held the police at bay Is In a popu
lous residence district. The police
learned of Nelson's whereabouts
through the arrest of William Juber,
a companion In the Los Angeles rob
bery. Juber was shot in the arm In
the bank robbery and had just left
the office of a physician when he was
taken into custody. A complete con
fession, the police said, followed.
When detectives went to Nelson's
room and attempted to place him un
der arrest he opened fire. Then began
the most spectacular battle in the his
tory of the police department

the German ambassador, emphatically
denied that he had used or attempted
to use James F. J. Archibald, the
American messenger of Dr. Constantln
T. Dumba, Austrian ambassador, as
a messa;e bearer to Berlin.
"In view of the repeated assertions
by several newspapers that I sent
messages to my government by Mr.
Archibald," said Count von Bernstorff.
"I wish to say that I never gave Mr.
Archibald a single paper or anything
else.
"I did not attempt to use Mr. Archi
bald as a messenger, chiefly becauso
I did not think It safe, and he certain
ly did not prove safe."
