Glove affair is the.real cause of the crime,
I, but this Cooper stoutly denies. He admits
threatening Mason 10 ''knock his head
OFF, when, on the day previous to the
murder, he called him This
threat evidently irritated Mason, as he
persisted in hurting epIthets at Cooper,
who says he did all in mis- power TO
avoid a conflict. The next day, he says,
Mason again sought him, apparently for
no other purpose than to renew the quar-
rel. and after bearing it long time he
finally picked up a piece of wood and
struck Mason on the head, from the effects
