Show Liquor Was the Cause of His Downfall. Salem, Ore. Adolf N. Nordstrom, convicted of the murder of John Peterson, Peter-son, foreman of a railroad construction construc-tion gang, last February, expiated his crime on the gallows here on Friday. Nordstrom delivered a short sermon on temperance, saying: "Keep liquor down, people, if you can. I am not the first man to be hanged on account of it. 1 am sorry for what I have done and wish God would save my soul. God bless all of you. Good-by." |
