Deiter, Peter
Peter Deiter - Rocky Mountain News – September 17, 1911, Page 8, Sect I – Bay Gordon is suspected in the death of Peter Deiter at Pueblo. Rocky Mountain News - September 17, 1911 - Peter Deiter at Pueblo, Colorado - Murder suspect Bay Gordon is charged with his murder. A man said to be Gordon was arrested in Oklahoma quite by chance and is being held for Pueblo authorities. William F. McCafferty, of Pueblo, while in an Oklahoma town last week, saw a man he thought was Gordon and had the fellow locked up. Two years ago Gordon came to Pueblo and met Deiter, who took a liking to the young man and employed him. Later Deiter was missed and was reported to have gone east for an extended trip. Gordon conducted a sale and disposed of much of Dieter's valuable livestock. He also secured money Deiter had deposited in a Pueblo bank. Gordon's anxiety to get rid of the livestock caused suspicion on him and an investigation revealed Deiter's body under a hay stack. A deputy sheriff will leave for Oklahoma to identify the man held here.
