Murder charge in early 1900s Nelson case shocks Suffolk jury
In Suffolk County New York a man named Schwartz is held on first degree murder for the killing of King A Nelson on September 16. The inquest resumed at Guildhall, with coroner Dr William Savage noting Nelson’s wife was unfit to testify. Witnesses include George Gallard, Albert Miller, and Miss Gertrude Lupke, who described events surrounding a Bay Shore dance, plans to meet after the dance, and Nelson’s fatal shooting near Central Islip. The case refrains from naming a definitive shooter as prosecutors pursue further testimony. The arraignment and potential November indictment loom as the jury weighs evidence.
