WHITE MAN TURNED BLACK, SAYS WOMAN CLAIMING TO IDENTIFY ALLEGED MURDERER

  Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 17. "John Nelson," mysterious man and alleged slayer, who reads Shakespeare while he awaits execution in a cell at Tunkhannock, Pa., has been identified by a woman as a white man whose entire life was changed when his skin turned black!
  Such is the story, at least, the Pennsylvania board of pardons will hear today from the lips of a Syracuse woman who keeps her identity secret.
  She says "Nelson's" name is Dennie Hermann, and that she cared for him as a boy. She declares she knows where his relatives are living. "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 authorities his right name is not "Nelson."
  Hermann, according to the story now told, was born in New Orleans, and brought to New York by his parents 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 other Ohio cities.
  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 heard from. His sisters Alice and Louise, and brother Felix, gave him up as dead.
  The crime for which "Nelson" is sentenced to die is one of the strangest in criminal annals.
  Here is the story according to testimony:
  The night of Oct 3. 1915. he walked into Mill City, Pa. On a street corner Judge Robert Westlake, J. M. Sickler and Frank Farnham stood talking. "Nelson" walked slowly by.
  Suddenly a cloud passed over the moon and a strong beam of its light struck him full in the face. He turned his head, whipped out a knife, and attacked 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, but a respite was granted to permit action by the pardon board.

BURNS ANNIVERSARY ON THURSDAY NIGHT - SCOTCHMEN AND SONS OF SCOTS WILL EAT THE FESTIVE HAGGIS

  Mr. James Ellis, prime mover in the celebration of Burns anniversary, is looking for a chef capable of providing the Burns banqueters with an appetizing dish of genuine haggis. As master of ceremonies, Commissioner Tom Lindsay is assisting in
the good cause, but both gentlemen admit they expect to encounter some experience before they find the man they are looking for. That the untamed American citizen may understand the importance of this dish it is necessary to explain that haggis is the piece de resistance of every Scotch banquet, since it is the national dish, commonly made of the heart, lungs and liver of a sheep, minced with suet, onions, oatmeal, salt and pepper, and boiled in a bag, preferably the stomach of a sheep. The local feast is slated for the 25th of January, when every man with a drop of Caledonian blood in his veins is expected to join in honoring the memory of the plowboy poet. Odd Fellows hall has been engaged and reliable reports are heard that the scouting committee has succeeded in securing a piper who will introduce the skirling of the pibroch to add to the realism of the event.
  The program will present a regular Burns night, with songs, recitations and dances with real Scotch kilted Highlander lassies in the fling. By engaging Odd Fellows hall the followers of St. Andrew will be enabled to entertain a much larger number than last year, when the celebration was held in the Mizpah Grill, which restricted the attendance.
