CONGRESSMAN COOPER'S FIRST
Legal, VICTORY.

A feud between town boys and coun-
try boys gave Congressman Cooper OF
Indiana the opportunity to win his le-
gal spurs THE first case of import
ance l ever tried" said the congress
man, land one which gave me a repu-
tation throughout the State, was in de-
Tense Of Alfred Barren, the son OF 4
widowed mother, whose husband had
been killed at the battle of Shiloh. He
was a country boy, and one day there
was to be some sort of a country festi-
val. The town boys sent down word that
they were coming down 10 run things
their own way Among the town boys
was the son of an ex-county judge who
had recently died. They came down
looking for trouble. Barren was whit
Ting a stick when the town boys set on
him, teasing and badgering him, and fl
nally the ex-judge's son reached out to
hit him. Barren, with a quick move
ment. pushed his knife into the boy,
and he fell with a cry. He was i'll for
some time, and finally died from NAL
practice. | believe, for the physician,
instead Of leaving an opening for the
pus Of the wound to escape, allowed the
lips Of the wound to close up, and peri
ton.tis set IN, which resulted In the
death of the boy. The country lad was
put on trial for murder, and defended
him. In conducting my case, l made
the most of the facts that the town
boys had come looking for mischief
and that the mother was a widow, and
the father had died in the service OF his
country. I offered the plea of self de-
tense, and argued that Barren had had
no intention Of inflicting a dangerous
or fatal wound. The Judge, however
apparently thought It was his duty To
stand by the son Of his predecessor, and
thought went out Of his way to insure
conviction OF Barren. He gave no less
than 125 charges to the jury and put
them in such a way that the jury could
not do otherwise than convict. Upon
failure of acquittal in the lower court
I appealed the case on the ground OF
prejudice, as well as upon the fact that
the judge had not taken into considera-
ton the point of intent to kill. The re.
suit was acquittal for my client and the
reprimand Of he judge"

Al. Reeves, the comedian, was acquitted

of the charge of attempted larceny from the

by Mrs. Dennis Canty. The trial began
IN the carly part of the afternoon and
lasted until : o'clock, and was interrupted
by one or two incidents OF u rather dramatic
nature.
Wnen the court announced a half hour

THE MORNING TIMES, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER l. 1895.
NEGLECT MAY Be COSTLY
Absence Of Fire Escapes Affects
License Renewals.
Unla W fuI to Issue Hotel License Un-
less Applicant shows That Es-
capes Have Been Provided.

There is strong probability that the
hotel proprietors who have thus far ne
elected to comply with the amended fire
escape law will find themselves in an
awkward dilemma when they hear from the
assessor in response TO their applications
for a renewal OF license for the year be-
ginning today.
The case of a leading hotel came before
the assessor yesterday, in which the in
spector's certificate showed that one side
of the building was unprotected with FIRE
escapes, but that an order for the fixtures
would be given at once. The assessor de
cides that this does not comply with the
regulations, and while 1t is unlikely that
proceedings will be instituted in any case,
the precedent Will he established that a
provisional certificate viii not fill the
Dill, and hotels will continue business only
at the sufferance of the authorities.
The condition is further complicated by
the delay that viii attend the granting OF
a barroom license at each of the negiectfui
hotels, the excise board being powerless
to act until all presented conditions are are
of procuring the liquor license is that the
hotel proprietor shall show that he is duly
equipped legally to transact business. The
board has gone so far in the case of an ap-
plcant who had overlooked the Inspector s
certificate to defer action until the missing
paper could be procured.
Assistant BaiIuing Inspector Frank Yer
million is required to give great deal-uf
his time and active attention at this
juncture TO all hotels whose applications
for renewal of business privileges are now
due.
Under the new law providing for fire
escapes no hotel proprietor can obtain a
license for the ensuing year, beginning
November 1, without accompanying his
application with the certificate OF the
building inspector that the fire escape, as
required under the anne nded law. has been
erected ON the building. The act says lit
shall be unla wfur' to issue the permit
otherwise.
1t is Mr.. Vermillion's duty to person

"THERE are indications that Chairman
Voorhees, has damaged his prospects for
the Goyernorship by going into the print
ing extravagance, as the subject is a ten
der one with the country editors and
publishers" This is an extract from
yesterdays papers, and 1t will be well,
probably, to note right here, that the
item first saw light in Democratic papers.
From it one might judge that country ed
itors and publishers, with their tender
feelings" are willing to. condone frauds
and slaughter all who are in favor OF IN
vestigatiun. We have a better opinion OF
country editors than that entertained by
the Democratic city dailies. who are not
pleased with the damaging results to
their party in this state by the investigat-
ing committee. The absurdity Of the
proposition that country editors will take
a hand will be apparent when 1t is stated
that nine-tenths of the printing, which 10
STYLED extravaganza, was done by city pa
pers, and the couutrymen did not get q
chance. The latter are always ready Tor
a share of honest legitimate work but, to
accuse them of being grabbers, willing to
cut any man who is doing his state a
great service in unearthing fragrant
abuses. is malicious libel Senator
Voorhees, ia smart and can see beyond his
nose. He has been fearless in this inves-
tigation. and the fact that he has been
named in connection with the guberna-
torial nomination has not caused him to
curry favor anywhere. His one effort IL
to benefit his state without regard to per
sonal consequences, and this action the
country editor will applaud rather than
denounce.
