Sniper Comes
Clean with His
v Crime Story
Frank Carter, Lodged in Omaha Jail
Tells of His Shooting of Omaha
Men and Seems Unconcerned.
From Tuesday's Daily
The "Sniper gunman," who de
scribes himself as Frank Carter, 45,
a "floater," and bis long barreled .22
caliber pistol, equipped with its
silencer, are in the Omaha Jail.
Henry Beal, county attorney, said
a first degree murder charge will be
filed against Carter for the slaying
of V. L. McDevitt and Dr. A. D.
Searles, whom he admitted killing,
with robbery the motive. He is to be
arraigned today. The death penalty
will be asked.
Carter, who was captured walking
toward Bartlett, la., Monday fore
noon, was brought to Omaha from
Council Bluffs under heavy guard late
in the afternoon, and was taken im
mediately to Central police station.'
In the presence of police officials and
the county attorney Carter made a
full statement, describing in detail
the killings and other shootings in
Omaha and Council Bluffs. J
After hearing the confession, Beal j
said Carter was the "coldest blooded
proposition" he ever had listened to. 1
Beal Says Not Inane.
"There is no insanity there," said
Beal. "He has a low type of men
tality, but he is cunning and sharp."
Carter, stolid, and with no show
of emotion or nervousness, told in
detail about all the shootings which
for a week terrorized Omaha and
baffled police.
He said he had been in Omaha the
last time about a month, but had
traveled and "stuck 'em up" all over
the country. i
"The man you call McDevitt was,
the first man I ever killed." he said. :
"I never had any trouble before with
the police." J
Carter admitted to police that he
was in Sioux City in September, al
though officers said he denied kill-,
ing two men in a hardware store
there in that month. The men both
died from .22 caliber bullets. J
Carter asserted he killed both Mc
Devitt and Dr. Searles because "they
made me mad by thinking they could
resist." His motive in holding up
people, he, said, was robbery. He said
he shot Ross Johnston in Council
Bluffs "for protection when I thought
he would spread the alarm."
"I held up McDevitt to rob him,"
Carter calmly related. "He tried to
grab my gun, and I fired a shot over
his 6houlder to make him behave.
Then he started to run. That made
me mad, and I shot to kill." i
Was "Lncky Shot." j
Carter said the bullet that killed
McDevitt was a "lucky shot," and no
credit to his markmanship.
"I can't say that I felt sorry for
what I had done," he said, "but two
or three girls came along and I felt
sorry for them. I thought they might
tumble onto the body, and get the
shock of their lives. But they didn't
Carter said the girls scared himi
away before he could rob the body, j
"I walked into an alley," he said,!
"and then out on another street. I'
walked along lowly to avoid sus
picion." Carter said he had held up a good
many people . before the McDevitt
shooting, but had had "no luck."
Drugstore Shooting: a Ruse.
Shooting through a drugstore win-!
dow in the vicinity of the McDevitt;
shooting, Twentieth and Davenport
streets, -'two nights later. Carter re
lated, was for the purpose of making
police think he was operating in that
neighborhood and to attract attention
from other parts of town where he
might go.
"I decided to rob Dr. Searles," he
said. "Fifteen years ago he treated
me for a disease. I knew where hia
office was, end the lay of the land.!
"The next night I went to his office
as a patient. He was alone. I point-
ed my gun and told him to stick up
his hands. Instead of doing it, he
tried to dodge away. It makes me mad
when anybody thinks he can get away
from a holdup. So I shot Dr. Searles.
There was not much danger of any
body hearing the shot, for all the
noise my gun makes is a little crack.
But I was a little scared, anyway.
"I didn't find any money on him
in my hurry, but I took his watch.
Then I dragged the body away from
the door and took his keys. I locked
the. door when I went out, to delay
finding the body. Out on the street
I threw the keys away."
Went to Picture Show. .
Two nights after this. Carter said,
he decided to leave Omaha and go to
Kansas City.
"I went to a picture show," he
said, "and then rode a street car to
Council Bluffs and went into the rail
road yards to catch a freight train.
i was sitting on a pile of ties
wnen a man came along and SDoke
to mes He acted like he was; going
to search me, so I got up and started
walking away. While my back was
turned I got out my gun from under
my shirt. The man pulled a gun,
and when I saw him do that I let him
have It.
"He started running up the track.
I thought he 'was an- officer onHhe
lookout for me. I knew he would
spread the alarm if he got away, so
I shot him as he ran. I shot until my
gun went dry."
This man was Johnston, Wabash
railroad detective who was guard
ing company property.
Carter said he got. a "big kick"
out of reading his murders in the
newspapers. "But there were some
lies," he said. He declared Johnston
had not been accurate when he said
he was shot without . warning from
behind a pile of ties.
"I never would have bothered him
if he hadn't bothered me first," Car
ter asserted.
Carter asserted he never would
have submitted to capture near Bart
lett "if I could have got to my gun."
"The gun was under my shirts,"
he said. "I didn't have time to un
button my clothing. I was afraid to
try, because I thought they would
shoot me in the guts."
During the month he was in Oma
ha, Carter said, he lived mostly at a
rooming house near Twentieth and
Cuming streets.
He said he bought his long-barreled
pistol and the silencer in Chi
cago about two years ago. and had
had it with him ever since.
"When I work, it is usually as a
farm hand," he said.
Sebetha Wins
at Peru from the
Local Quintet
In Hard Fought Battle, Kansans Win
15 to 14 at the Mink Tourna
ment Held at Peru.
From Monday's Dally
The Plattsmouth high school bas
ket ball team in the finals at the
Mink tournament held at Peru Sat
urday night, lost a very hard fought
and well played game to the Sebetha,
Kansas, five by the score of 15 to 14.
The locals had made a slaughter
of the Falls City team in the semi
finals on Saturday by the score of
18 to 1 and which had led to the
bright prospects of the locals getting
away with the Kansas team that had
defeated Auburn and entered the
finals, but in the breaks of the game
the locals were not as fortunate as
their rivals and suffered the defeat
by a very narrow margin.
The height and weight of the
Sebetha team offered a handicap to
the locals as the Kansans were all
in the six foot class and able to
make many plays in the passing that
the locals were unable to check and
which led the Sebetha team in the
scoring in the early pjart of the
game.
At the close of the first half
Sebetha led 4 to 3 and in the third
quarter brought the lead to 6 to 4
only to have the Plattsmouth team
creep up within one point of their
lead. In the last few moments of
the game Jack Hatt was given a
free throw on a foul that would have
tied the score but failed in getting
the ball into the basket and left
the Kansans the victors.
In the scoring of the Sebetha game
Rebal led the locals with five points
while Jack Hatt was second with
four counters.
In the class B contests at Peru
the Peru Prep team emerged as the
victors and carried away the cup
in this class.
The Plattsmouth-Sebetha game
was refereed by "Bitzi," captain of
the Peru college team who gave his
usual very effective and fair hand
ling of the game.

ing of October 29th, the ice and
snow of the hrst touch of winter

sore for some time it was not

ance being called in and it was de

Boy May Have
Met the Sniper
James Newasek, Jr., Ha9 Experience
Sunday Night That May Have
Been With Omaha Gunman.
From Tuesday's iaiiy
In the light of statements made by
Frank Carter, Omaha gunman and
sniper, who was captured yesterday
morning near Bartlett, Iowa, James
Newasek, Jr., of this city and a
former Journal carrier boy, may have
had a contact with the notorious
character that has for a week held
Omaha in a reign of terror.
Sunday evening James was on his
way to his home on west Locust
street from the business section of the
city and while passing near the bill
board located near the O. K. garage,
on Oak street, he had his experience
with what he thought was a hold up
I man.
The young man states that he was
passing near the billboard when he
heard a noise back of the board and
thinking that it was a dog or some
animal he grabbed a piece of brick
that was lying along the roadway
and heaved the object ct the bill
board thinking to scare the animal.
Instead of the expected animal a man
appeared around the corner of the
billboard and James states he had a
revolver in his hand and without
staying to argue or debate the ques
tion the lad continued on westward
to his home and the armed stranger

that he was the man that James
Newasek glimpsed as he skulked back

A young man named Rainey also
reports having been accosted by some
party near the foot of Wintersteen
hill also Sunday evening and while
the police rounded up a number of

the Burlington right-of-way, none of
these could be identified as the would

this may have been Carter.

Henrickson
Death Suicide,
Says Jury
Inu-st Held at Eagle Yesterday on
Hequest of Relatives Returns
Verdict of Suicide.
At the request of Mrs. J. H. Fitch,
a daughter of the deceased, County
Attorney W. G. Kieck yesterday af
ternoon held an inquest at Eagle on
the body of Andrew Henrichsen,
aged man who was found hanging
from a tree in the yard at his farm
home four miles north of Eagle early
Sunday morning.
County Attorney Kieck and Deputy
Sheriff W. C. Schaus motored over
to Eagle shortly after noon yester
day and on their arrival there a
jury was impaneled consisting of Ed
Carr, W. C. Schaus, C. P. Snyder.
W. C. Hudson, George Oberle and
Jacob Umland, to make the inquiry
into the facts and circumstances of
the death of the aged man.
It was developed at . the inquest
from the testimony of the various
witnesses that the deceased who was
between 74 and 75 years of age had
been very despondent in the last few
weeks as the result of two strokes
that he had suffered and that he
had been extremely childish and had
frequent quarrels at home, getting
mad and leaving at different times
to stay over night with other rela
tives. On Sunday night when Mr.
Henrichsen failed to return home
to sleep it was not thought unusual
as he had stayed frequently at the
home of his nephew, Carl Johnson,
in the same neighborhood of his
home. The body was found early
Sunday morning by Peter Henrick
sen, a son, who had gone to the barn
to look after the care of the stock
and found the body of the father
suspended from a limb of a tree near
the barn.
Mr. Henrichsen hung himself with
a hitching strap and it is thought
that the rash act was committed
about 2 a. m. Sunday, judging from
the condition of the body when
found by the son.
The coroner's jury after the In
vestigation of the case rendered a
verdict of death by suicide.
