Deputy District Attorney Moser, Who Secured Conviction of the
Men Accused of Undgren's Murder, Believes in Their In
; nocence Will Probably Ask Court to Dismiss. ; v- :
The opinion, that tb murderer of Oa
rs r Llndiren la still at Urn and that
; Kd Nelaoa and C. H. uaniejson are to.
solutrly Innocent was expressed today
by Deputy District Attorney Mimr, who
u Instrumental In a ecu ring a vermci
of guilty against Nalson and DanleUon
last month, i .
Moaer further tatd that he expect
to have tha real criminal in th ton a

i Ed Nelson, handsome, clean looking
big Swede In his early twenties, and
C. H. IJajlelaon, another Swede 10 years
4 'older, were found guilty by Jury of
the murder of Oscar Undgren. proprle-
tor of the Garfield hotel at Fourteenth
and Bavier streets on the evening of
.January . Nelson was a bartender
whom Undgren formerly employed and
the theory was that the two men had
gone to the hotel to rob the proprietor,
that he resisted and that Nelson- shot
lilm to death, -'v--. -
.. . CMsooasataatlal Bvldeaoa. -
- - Nelson waa convicted of murder In
the second degree, which Is punlahable
' by life Imprisonment, and Danlelaon
waa convicted of manalaughter. punish'
able by Imprisonment for a term of not
less than one nor more than fifteen
" year.
The evidence against the two men was
nlmoet entirely clroumatantlai, the only
direct -evidence being the dying words
of Undgren, who said:. "Met the big
man- the man with the - red sweater,
lie knows all about It"
Nelson and Danlelaon were found In
' the crowd which gathered about the sa
. loon Immediately after the tragedy and
-. Noleon waa wearing a red sweater.
. Xyster information was brought te light
- to show that Nelson bad that day ap
plied for a Job of Ldndgrea and bad been
1 refused and that a row bad resulted.
' What was more natural than that, partly
out of revenge, he should havw returned
under cover of the night to rob his for-
mer employer? -.-'
The case was made stronger for the
state by the fact that Nalsoa and Den-'
lelson could not- explain their presence
aoon after the killing except simply to'
say that they had gone with the purpose
of paying a friendly visit. -'
All these ' lnertmtnatine; coincidences I
must have so prejudiced the minds of
the Jury against the accused (hat when
It came to the testimony of the defense
It was absolutely disregarded. The de
fense was an alibi, but the only witness
who could speak positively waa a man
named Harold Johnson. Johnson swore
that he saw Nelson and Daniel son get on
a car at Third and Couch at : o'clock
on the nUht of the murder. Thla car

Washington lumber manufacturers are
today meeting with the state railway
commission here In an effort to find a
solution of soma of their troubles. The
conference is taking up tbs rating of
mills as to capacity and demand ror
oars and tha alleged discrimination of
the roada against lumber shipments,
resulting In tha preference being given
to wheat raw products and general
merchandise.
As it would have difficulty In backing
un a rating owing to many elements
entering into the Question of the rela

mill may be entitled, the commission
Is disposed to avoid the Issue, though
the mlllmen. are anxious that a rating
be made.
