of
From Wednesday's Dally.
In a very few weeks the citizens
of Plattsmouth will be called upon
to once more select a city govern
ment for their use for the twelfth
months and who this government
will be composed of is a matter of
doubt and while a number of candi
dates have been suggested, there
has been none who cared to boldly
dash their skypiece into the political
rins: to be made the target of their
opponents.
Ma vor Henrv A. Schneider, who
has filled two years in the chair ot
the chief executive of the city is not
in the mood to carry the burden of
office longer and is now ready to
eniov a rest after the two years of
thankless serving in the jo!. roi
the position of mayor a numner o
i..4ines have been suggested ly
lriends of candidates but the politi
.al sossin has failed to smoke out
any of the candidates into a declara
tion of their desires or intentions
Two of the retiring councilmen. C
A. Johnpon. democrat, and Frank
Hutterv. republican. and both of
whom have had a great deal of e
oerience in the city government have
been suggested as possibilities in the
race, while the lightning had al
been flashing around the brad ol
former Mavor John P. Sattler. who
like Mr. Buttery has been identified
with the city government for a loi
period of time. On the republicar
side the name of John F. Gorder has
been frequently suggested as a pos
sibility in the race, although Mr
Gorder has a dislike to the political
game but some of his friends think
that he might be induced to take
the position. Frank M. Bestor, who
was defeated two years ago on the
democratic ticket, is alo being plae
ed as among those on whom tiie
tion might be thrust.
The possibility of a third ticket
has been rumored among those who
are noliticallv wise and as the head
of this organization Attorney. A. I.
Tidd has been most prominently
named as the candidate and how tar
this move will materialize remains
to be seen in the next few weeks that
will bring out the party conventions
For the treasuryship the senti
inent as to opposition to Mr. Soen
nichsen seems mil and his bold on
the office seems to be that merely of
his own desire.
For the city clerkship. I?. A. Mc

office and the name of Elmer A

Webb as a candidate for the repub
lican nomination is also considered.
On the democratic side of the house
a number of the friends of Edwin
Fricke have been urging hia name,
but whether or not he would con
sider the proposition is a matter of
doubt.
The councilmen retiring this year
are It. F. Patterson of the first ward
who is completing eight years of ser
vice and he states that the "finis"
has been written on his career in the
council; Frank F. Buttery, who un
lessi he is chosen for a higher posi
tion will probably be returned to
represent his ward; L. G. Larson is
the member retiring from the third
ward and whether he is a candidate
or not depends largely on circum
stances. ('. A. Johnson retires in
the fourth ward and is also on the
undecided list as to whether or not
the fields of retirement do not look
very alluring after his time spent
serving the interests of the people.
In the fifth. Robert Harris, who has
held the fort there for the past six
years is up for re-election but states
that he has suffered about as much
as he cares for the large salary of
$100 a year.

A FAREWELL
PLUNGE MADE
TO SAVE COLE
ATTORNEYS SEEK REVIEW EE
FORE STATE SUPREME
COURT.
HOPE TO STAY EXECUTION
Start Proceeding in Howard County
as Only Avenue for Hearing
Before Higher Court.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Attorneys for Alson II. Cole are
today filing in Howard county coram
nobis proceedings with a view of ob
taining for the condemned murderer
n new trial or review before the su
preme court. This is supposed to be
the one last legal procedure referred
to in a tccent promise made by the
attorneys, to the governor. The final '
move has the legal appearance of an
octopus. It is not an attempt to com
mutation alone but strikes back at
the so-called legality of the original
sentence and seek to have that set
aside through court procedure. '
Many legal questions are raised. The
procedure, in short, apparently con- '
templates the re-opening of two
channels, the state courts and the
federal court with the hope of reach- ;
ing the United States supreme court
through either channel. !
The attorneys contend that on
March 2S. 1917. when the jury ren
dered a verdict in the trial court.
Judge Payne called Judge Wall, then
attorney for Cole, on the phone and
asked if he would not file a motion ,
for re-hearing. Judge Wall is said .
to have answered that he was j
through with the care. I
Cole Not Advised.
It is chiniod that Judge Payne did
not wait tluee days as lequired by
law under such circumstances to pro
nounce sentence but pronounced it
two days after the return by ' the
jury. He did not advise Cole as he
advised the hitter's attorney who
washed his hands of the caie. The
condemned, it is alleged in filing,
had no knoweldge of the necessary
steps to be taken. lie was not told
that his attorney had dropped Ur
ease. In short, he was not accorded
the protection which the law gives
to a minor who is without legal ad
vice. He was then in his 20th
year.
It is further allaged that ColcV
case has never been reviewed by the
supreme court and that under the
present status of the case, there is
no legal method to bring it before
that court. When Cole's attorneys
applied to the supreme court for a
writ of habeas corpus, the writ was
denied because among other reasons,
the attorneys brought no bill of ex
ceptions, it is claimed. Attorneys
for Cole contended that there was
no such bill to bring since no appli
cation was filed in Howard county
for a new trial.
Section 9130 given considerable
mention during the several unsuc
cessful attempts on Cole's behalf, is
again forced into the limelight. Un
der this section, the trial court is
required to take testimony and ex
amine witnesses in a murder trial.
Under the Common Law.
This final procedure is under the
common law. It is the initial step
toward attempting to bring the rec
ord of the case before the supreme
court. The following federal ques
tions, raised in a number of prior
proceedings, again are presented;
That the trial court did not comply
with the provisions of section 9130

terests and are now in a position to give that high-class competent,
