Bemidji, Minn., March 24.—"Not guilty," was the announcement made about 8:15 o'clock last night in the district court by the foreman of the jury that for nearly thirty hours had been wrestling with the Nelson murder case when the twelve men filed into court and Judge Stanton asked if they had agreed.

About 3:15 yesterday afternoon the jury told the court an agreement was impossible, but Judge Stanton declined to discharge them, telling them of the importance of the case and the need for a verdict of some sort.
