4 WISCONSIN SCANDAL ENDING IN THE
MURDER OF A JUDGE.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. ll.--Judge
Henry Hayden, of Wood county court,
a politician well known throughout the
State, and candidate for Attorney-i Gen
eral on the Greenback ticket two years
ago, was shot and killed at Gem ALA
Wis, last Thursday, by w. ii. Coch' an,
cashier Of the First National Bank, The
affair grew out of tie alleged intimacy
on the part of Ha, den with Cochran's
wife,t scandal beng one of long stand
ing. Cochran had separated from his
wife some time ago, although no divorce
had been obtaired. The weapon u'ed
was a shotgun, loaded with five buck
shots. Lf.-. 1882
The entire charge entered IIayden's
right side, killing hm instantly. AS no
word, passed between the men, it is
thought the killing was premeditated.
Excitement at the time ran high, and
threats OF lynching were freely indulged
in, hut finally better counsel prevailed
Cochran delivered himself up, and wa
mn tied to Jail, but on the following
day was attending to business as usual
Judge Hayden will be buried on Sun
day, and Cochran will have his examin
alton on Tuesday. Although the mur
der occurred on Thursday nothing wa
