Man Murdered the Baby,
PLEA OF GUILTY NAY Be SET ASIDE
Case f. One of the Most Peculiar in
the History Of Nebraska Criminal
COurts-wOman Mentally
incompetent.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Dec. 1s.-(special
Telegram.)-The coroner's jury continued
its investigation into the death Of the
4-months'-old Baxter baby and recalled
Mrs. Baxter To the establishment OF the
Jury, coroner and officials she absolutely
denied every charge she had made against
her aged husband last Saturday and admit
ted that what she had said on Saturday
was wrong. She proved herself incompetent
to testify. being very weak-mlnded. She
did not know how long she had been mar
ried, nor yet how old she was. Baxter,
placed on the stand. told practically the
same story he has told from the beginning.
He is nearly 70 years OF age and OF more
than ordinary intelligence.
The testimony OF the woman today re-
moves every particle OF evidence against
him. and his attorneys will move to have
his sentence of ten years set aside. Baxter
was, on Saturday night. finally induced to
plead guilty to msnslaughter, but did so
protesting that he was innocent. Judge
Thompson on Sunday ordered the negro re-
tanned here until a further Investigation
could be made. The verdict Of the Jury was
that the baby had come to it's death by
smothering, but whether accidentally or by
malicious cause the Jurors were unable to
determine.

cHADRoN is SHORT OF COAL
Action Of Railroad Company Pre-
vents Relieving the
situation.

CHADRoN, Neb., Dec. 1s.-(special.)-
Considerable difficulty lie being experienced
during the last few days in this place in
getting a SUFFICIENT supply Of coal to meet
the immediate demands OF the people on
account Of the refusal OF the Elkhorn rail-
road to handle coal from the Sheridan
mines loaded in Burlington cars. One OF
the largest coal dealers has at present q
number OF cars Of coal from the Sheridan
mines at Crawford, the junction point OF
the Burlington and Elkhorn roads, which
the latter road refuses to haul to this
place. as II gives them a haul OF only thirty
miles, while II the coal had been pur-
chased from the Glenrock mines, which
are located on their own line, It would
give them a haul of 175 miles in their W
cars. 1t is understood that an offer OF so
cents per ton additional to regular freight
rates for hauling the cars has been re-
fused by the company, aud to relieve the
situation the coal will have to be trans
ferred into Elkhorn cars or purchased
from the Glenrock mines, which are now
unable to fill their present orders.
