aud Eva, another child, was left by him
for dead. The horrible tragedy occurred
at the home of the Goodleys while Mr..
Cooley was in Cheyenne, Wyo on
business. The only reason for the act
was that Helper had been drink
ing and had threatened revenge
on the family. he says he
did not commit the crime, but Eva, the
girl who has since recovered, has fully
identified him as the assailant. The
crime Is considered the most atrocious
one ever committed Ia Kansas While he
was in the jail he attempted suicide by
hanging but fortunately he was dis.
