(United News) The phantom gunman, who spread terror for a week In Omaha, killing two men, wounding two and sniping at a doion others, haa turn ed out to be a mild mannered farm hand, who piled his new trade of robberey with the aid of a Maxim ailencer on his gun and a reputation as a "maniac." Tho so-called "madman" was cap tured Monday afternoon near Bart lett, Iowa, by a constable's posse and Identified as Frank Carter, 46, who wag working on. a farm a few months ago near Ackley. . He admitted readily that he was the Omaha sniper and told an amaz ing atory of bis career of crime, In concluding the terrorist reign here, and robberies in Sioux City and Ce dar Rapids. The man who kept all Omaha trembling with fear for seven days was described by Sheriff Lainson aa "the most accommodating prisoner I ever handled." - Was Recognized. Carter was captured after he had been recognized walking along a railroad track by a section foreman north of Bartlett. The . foreman hurrMrt I" 'jv-n. wiere '7i"stabl liavid Morgan organized a posse of eleven men. Carter was then sur rounded and gave up. "If you bad given me a chance I would have got at least some of you before you got me, he told the con stable. The Maxim silencer was allpped over the barrel of a .22-caliber au tomatic plctol, which rested in an Improvised holster under his lift arm. The first victim of Carter' new proficiency with his weapon was William McDevltt, shot to death as he walked out of his home one night nearly a week ago. Carter now says he shot McDevltt during a hold up. Used Hilcncer. "It was easy with the silencer. I could stand oa a street corner and shoot from under my coat and no body would know where the bullet came from, because they couldn't hear any explosion." Carter Bald he killed Dr. A. D.

Feb. 22. (United Newa) The final chapter of the famous Stillman case has been writ ten as far 'as Florence Leeds, who was "the other woman" is concern ed. The United News learns exclu sively that James A, Stillman has made a settlement upon her hoy his son Jay Ward Leeds.

Since his hands have been un tied by Governor Pierce through dismissal of Indictments District At torney E. L. Elliot has been mak ing great gains toward invoking public sentiment against vice in all its malignant forms. On every pos sible occasion audiences are being shown by the district attorney that they are aafeep to the hell-making conditions. And now the politi cians are beginning to wonder. There are those who credit El liot with every sincerity of ptrrpoM In his drive on vice. And they say, auto, that he haa made considerable progress In putting the fear of the law into the hearts of the bootleg gers. But others are asking what It is all about. Frequent references to the atti tude of the courts by Elliot in his speeches is the point about which doubt hinges. And this to such an extent that right now a majority of the observers say that . Elliot Is planning to ride on the wave of sen timent ne is creating. Ana inai no has his anibltiona still fixed on the .J stormy reirei. This talk haa become so prevalent that Elliot has become the stormy petrel of the local political ' situa tion. It is more than likely he real izes it less than anyone, for even his enemies say he has sufficient sagacity not to attempt to run for the Judgeship. But it is not among his opponents that the wonderment is strongest. It comes chiefly from unbiased obserr- uv .ua, Aiuufc la uuui the very thing that would make his candidacy possible, and that if he succeeds in creating sufficient pres tige as a moral force then he will be in a position to ask favors of the electorate. "What haa happened to this an nouncement of a clean-up of the pool halls?" is frequently heard. And it was this pronouncement ot the district attorney weeks ago that causes as much speculation as hia attacks on the attitude of the courts. It is figured by the cynics that it was merely part of the verbal bar rage for they aee no result from it. Meant Well. The fact is. however, that Elliot meant well when he aald that gam bling had to be stopped in the pool halls, and that punchboards and slot machines had to come out. But the pool halls have begged Elliot to tell them what he will or will not per mit in the way ot card games. And neither Elliot or his officers have of fered any Interpretation ot hia man datefor the simple reason that they did not know. Officers are (Continued On Page Two) Yesterday tho state officers said that they wore not trying to find Hiland, but had charged htm with sale, possession, and with conduct ing a nuisance on three complaints before United States Commissioner Itert C.
