Police believe that-Carter, te guilty
of at least two other murders They
say he ia the man who last Septem-
ber killed William Lougerson and
Harry Jones in a hardware store in
Sioux City, Iowa. Carter denies this,
but the Sioux City men were mnr
dered with 22 caliber bullets sim-
ilar to the ones used by Carter here.
The man said he had owned his
peculiah, .22 caliber silent automatic
pistol for two years. He has admit-
ted more than fifty hold ups in Mid-
dle West cities.
“I always had trouble making my
victims respect "the .22 caliber auto-
matic’’
Carter is proud of his crime rec
ord. He tells his story with a grent
deal of bravado nnd a wealth of de
tail- He killed boh Dr. A. D. Searles
and William McDevitt because they
failed to "show proper respect” for
his small pistol.
Carter was born in Ackley, Iowa,
45 years ago and claims Kansas City
as his home now.
Carter wa* captured near Bartlett,
Iowa-, yesterday by a posse under
command of Dave Morgan, village
constable. He allowed officers to take
him to Nebraskra without extradi-
tion papers.
Carter declared today that he
wants to pay the penalty for his
crimes as quickly as possible. He
said he would prefer Ming hanged
than going to the electric chair.
“But if it's the chair, I'll walk to
it like a man,” nc said-
