Plattsmouth woman seeks clemency in murder case
Mrs. Inas Wever, 40, of Plattsmouth, asked the Nebraska state pardon board to release her after seven years in prison for the 1920 arsenic and strychnine murder of her husband George Wever. She claimed innocence, saying she followed a physician’s instructions to help his recovery. A petition opposed by Ralph Wever and hundreds of locals was noted, though supporters urged mercy and a new trial argument.
