ther examination this morning.
The next witness called by the de-

Elizabeth proved to be an excellent
witness, telling how after hearing the
shot, she ran upstairs and found her
mother in bed in her own room.
Mrs. Carman stoutly denied that she
heard anything over the dictagraph
which made her jealous of her hus-
band. She said suspicion only was
aroused when people said the doctor

the least show of emotion. Mrs. Car

clasped, Mrs. Carman described all
the incidents of the fatal day She

her never to come into the office while
patient was there, following the time
she entered and slapped nurses face,
and that it was for that reason she
didn't go down.
Mrs Carman frankly admitted hay

den death Of Hubert Flessenkemper
of West Point, who was found dead
beside the railroad tracks Saturday
night at Sawyer The coroner's jury
which was empanneled by Coroner

heard the testimony of witnesses, re.
turned a verdict that Flessenkemper
probably came to his death by being
hit by G. B. & c.. passenger train No.

Sawyer in Washington township.
Flessenkemper, according to testi

and was known to have gotten off the
train all right at Sawyer Persons tes
titled to seeing him walk up the track
after descending from the train.
Flessenkemper's skull was crushed
From all evidences it would seem that
he had been struck by the steps Of a
train. A passenger train on the OF

thought to have struck him, according

It was suggested that Flessenkemp

AUTOMOBILE PLATES
BRING STATE $1,0OO,0OO

Des Moines, Dec. 15-Seven car
loads of automobile plates commenced
to move from the Office of the secre-
tary of state to different parts Of the
state today and before the work is
finished over 100000 will have been
issued and the state will have taken
in over $1,0O0,00O. Up to the present
about $4,000 auto owners have filed
their applications for plates for 1915,
as against about 10000 a year ago. AS
a result auto owners are urged to hur-
ry in with their requests. New cars
are being registered at the rate of
40 a day, despite the alleged hard
times caused by the European war. 1t
is expected that fully 5000 motor
cycles will also be registered the COM
ing year. The new plate is heavier
than the 1914 plate. The plates came
in seven freight cars from the factory
in St. Louis. 1t is possible that after
this year a still heavier plate will be
issued to last for three years, as re-
