Baldwin Ave, sat down at a table with two women she did not know and began screaming incoherently about God, her relationship with her father and vulgarities. Victim talked about her kids before murder DETROIT (AP) Just before she. was murdered, Dr. Deborah Iverson talked about her children with the young mother who had abducted and robbed her. The young woman reached into the doctor's wallet, pulled out a photo of her two young sons and put it in her captive's hands.

Then the young woman passed her coat-belt to her husband, a prosecutor said Thursday. Moments later, Dr. Iverson was dead, strangled with the belt, and her body left in the back seat of her $40,000 Toyota Land Cruiser. When police found her body and the vehicle the next morning abandoned in a rural park, her wallet and other personal things were gone. But the photo of Ricky, 4, and Colin, 2, was still near her body.

Wednesday, Anitra Lynn Coomer, and her husband, McConnell Adams both 21, were charged with murder and kidnapping in the May 16 killing of Iverson, a prominent eye specialist. Police said the young couple confessed to grabbing Iverson in the parking lot as she left her psychiatrist's office in the affluent suburb of Birmingham. Coomer and Adams are accused of robbing her of $1,300 in two checks, one forged, the other signed by the vietim. "While Mrs. Iverson was alive in the vehicle, it was clear to both of them they were going to kill her," said former Oakland County.

Prosecutor Richard Thompson, whose last day in office was Tuesday. "Coomer went to Arbor Drugs to get the bleach so they could clean up their fingerprints," Thompson said. "Coomer handed her coat belt to McConnell knowing he would use it to strangle Mrs. Iverson." Police said the young couple was desperate for money and picked Iverson at random. Oakland County District Judge James Sheehy entered innocent pleas for the couple Wednesday and ordered them held without bond.

A preliminary hearing was set for Jan. 14. The arrests brought some comfort to Iverson's widower, Dr. Robert Iverson, Rochester Hills, who had been a suspect for seven months. He voluntarily took and passed two lie detector tests, but a $1.1 million life insurance policy was held up until his was cleared.

lot of people in the community were surprised I wasn't defensive over that," Iverson said. "The cloud of the suspicion over me was other people's problem, not mine. If a person knows he wasn't complicit in a crime there should be no consternation that the investigation had to proceed." Iverson had offered a reward of $500,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of his wife's killer. Authorities said it was the lure of money that led to the tip. After Adams was arrested and jailed Sunday on domestic abuse charges, Coomer apparently told someone about the crime.

That person contacted police. "We're just jubilant that someone came forward with the truth. If it results in a conviction, I'll have my checkbook ready. I can't thank this person enough," Iverson said. Rpbert Iverson, who said he feels no vindictiveness toward Coomer or Adams, has asked to meet them.

"I think it would be useful for my emotional state to know what transpired in the last few hours of that day. I simply want to know what her words were, what she felt, what she said," he said. "Then I can put it to rest." Presidents weather cold for oath WASHINGTON (AP) The snow blew into drifts and even toppled utility poles; 6,000 shovelers struggled to clear the streets between the Capitol and White House. Yet as noon approached Inauguration Day, it was still snowing and the temperature was at the freezing mark. "I always knew it would be a cold day when I got to be president," William Howard Taft quipped to a reporter on that frigid day in 1909.

Mother Nature doesn't always frown on presidential inaugurations, but occasional storms have been miserable, even fatal. William Henry Harrison declined the offer of a closed carriage and rode on horseback to the Capitol, braving cold temperatures and a northeast wind March 5, 1841. After speaking for more than an hour he returned to the White House, again on horseback, catching a chill that eventually turned to pneumonia. He died a month later. "He was the first American president to die in office, a victim of his militant disdain for the elements," historian Patrick Hughes observes in Weatherwise magazine.

Ronald Reagan, who broke Harrison's record as the oldest man to become president, was more cautious in 1985 when the coldest weather in inaugural history struck Washington. Reagan moved the ceremonies indoors and canceled the parade. When Franklin Pierce was sworn in March 4, 1853, the weather was raw and windy with light snow falling. Abigail Fillmore, wife of outgoing dent Millard Fillmore, caught cold while sitting on the windswept inaugural platform. She died of pneumonia within weeks, Hughes says, Originally, presidential inaugurations were March 4, a date selected in an era of slow travel so that all the participants could be present for the ceremony.

By the 1930s transportation was much better and politicians wanted to shorten the long lame duck period between the November election and the inauguration. So a decision was made to change the date to January. Weather records showed that Jan. 20 tended to have mild conditions so it was chosen. But the first ceremony on that date, in 1937, took place in a deluge, with 1.77 inches of rain pouring on the capital city.

Aides tried to talk Franklin D. Roosevelt into moving the ceremony indoors but he looked out at the soggy crowd and replied: "If they can take it, I can take it." Weather historian David M. Ludlum reports in his book The Weather Factor that Sen. George Norris of Nebraska, author of the amendment changing the date, declined to accept blame for that fiasco. Before complaining, he said, wait until March 4 and see what the weather is like on the old date.

It was sunny and 67 degrees. Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, replied to the formal invitation. to his 1949 swearing in this "Weather permitting, I hope to be present." took the oath of office beneath sunny skies in 38-degree weather. Indeed, despite the bitter cold for Reagan, a blizzard for John F.

Kennedy and the rain that dampened Roosevelt, Jan. 20 has a good track record. Meanwhile, miserable weather has occurred March 4 the past three inaugural years, according to statistics compiled by Tom Ross of the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., and reported in Weatherwise. Here's a look at some extraordinary Inauguration Day weather: Fillmore in 1850 had the hottest inaugural on record at 92 degrees. He was sworn in July 10, following the death of Zachary Taylor, who had collapsed from heat exhaustion at the of it he dedication of the Washington Monument.

Ulysses S. Grant took his second oath of office in 1873 in the" coldest inaugural weather until Reagan. The temperature. was 4 degrees at daybreak and only 16 by noon. The price for a bleacher seat at James A.

Garfield's inauguration fell from $5 to 50 cents and still there were. few takers as a stiff northwest wind and temperatures near freezing followed an overnight snowstorm in 1881. Benjamin Harrison took the oath in 1889 in a driving rain despite the fatal example of his grandfather. By the time he finished speaking most of the spectators and even his wife and daughter had gone Tiny icicles glistened on Grover Cleveland's mustache as he rode to the Capitol in 1893 while slush underfoot and fast-falling snow made conditions miserable.
