This Morning the Mercury Pointed to
Five Above Zero and Indications
Strong For Further Drop.
When the Plattsmouth citizens
awoke this morning it was to find
that the first real winter morning of
the season was with them and the
mercury standing at five above the
i.ero mark. While this will be con
sidered mild weather alter in the
season, after the mild fail weather
we have had it was certainly hard
to take and the greater part of the
population that could do so, spent
the day hanging close to the s'.oves
and radiators rather than face the
frosty morning and the snap of the
winter weather.
The indications for the next few
days as given out by the weather
bureau are for continued cold weath
er this part of the west and the com
mencement of the winter weather.
However we have no kick coming
as this fall and the opening part
of the winter has been all that any
one could ask for at this time of the
year.

SUSPECT CASE MAY

Death of John Carter at Haxton. Col
orado, is to Be Investigated Ow
ing to Peculiar Wounds.
The death of John Carter, former
ly of Weeping Water, which occurred
at Haxton. Colorado, last Thursday,
is to be investigated, according to
reports received in this city.
The peculiar nature of the wounds
on the head of Mr. Carter is causing
the authorities there to look into the
"ase more closely and it may develop
that the unfortunate man was th'
victim of a murderous attack.
On the chin of Mr. Carter as wel"
as between the eyes were wound
that may have ben caused by a blow
of some severe nature and from the
indications was nqt of the nature
that would be caused by a Icicle from
a horse or from being trampled by
cattle as was first supposed by the
members of the family and the au
thorities. The body cf Mr. Carter
was not injured in the least ;.s would
have undoubtedly have been the ens"
had the wild cattle charged on him
and this circumstance was what set
the authorities moving in the mat
ter and it will be thoroughly sifted
out. '
drive Mrs. Vogt home afterwards.
Accordingto Cole's theory. Cram
mer threw him in the lack seat,
drove out on a lonely road, killed
Mrs. Vogt himself, drove back home,
placed Cole in the front seat at the
wheel, and told him to drive away.
Crammer went home and no one
-knew that he had been gone.
Cole did not know what happeneu
until he awoke in Grand Island. The
bedv of Mrs. Vogt was round along
the' road a half mile from the resi
dence to which G rammer told Mrs.
Vogt he would take Cole.

Alson B. Cole went to the chair at
Lincoln Mondav nrotestlns his in-
Vogt.
Cole protested his innocence in a
last statement which he gave to two
' Christian Science practitioners.
I To his attorney, John M. Priest.
: Cole had outlined his theory of the
murder, and this was to be used in
the event of a new trial.
In private conversation Cole ad
mitted plotting with Grammer to
commit the crime, and although he
believed for a long time he had killed
her, Grammer was the actual slayer.
Grammer had the "drop" on him,
; Cole paid, having knowledge of some
forgeries Cole had committed and
threatening to reveal them unless
Cole acceded to his demand.
, Grammer arranged for the murder,
- had Mrs. Vogt go out in the automo
; bilp with Cole after he had filled
.the latter with whiskey, Cole claimed
net to remember what happened af
ter that. He woke up in Grand Is
land the next morning. Mrs. Vogt
was found dead during the night and
, Cole thought he killed her.
! As be discovered later, he said,
Giammer met him and ?r?. Vcgt
near St. Paul, two blocks from Ed
Vogt's house and got in the ear, tell
