THE plot lhickens in the Cooper-Boggs
trial Tho public have had y chance to
road the evidence and judge who the gull
ty ones are. From all accounts and ap-
pearanccs, some tall lying has Leen done.
The trial reads like romance, but Is even
more exciting, as the figures are real and
alive. What a snap that Dover crowd
must haye had, spending what they
thought ESQ they have said) was Boggs'
money. 1t did not make any difference
whose money 1t was the gay young man

officer Morally, the mon who have been
arrested and charged with aiding and
abotting William N Boggs, will now have
chance to receive the verdict of jury of
their fellow Delawareans to judge OF their
guilt or innocence. A verdict of guilty,
means several years Incarceration in Jail,
while verdict Of not guilty, means the
restoration Of name now under suspi-
cion. Judge Bradford gave notice yester.
day from the bench, that the trial was not
being conducted by the newspapers and it
would be just as we'll if all illusions to
the trial for the purpose Of foresaling
the opinions of the jury should cease. The
Judges attention was called to the mat
ter by Attorney Bird, who is counsel for
the prisoner now on trial. The offending
article appeared in yesterdays Sun, calling
for the conviction Of Colonel f. L. Coop
or. The REPUBLICAN, will print good
account of the trial daily, and our readers
can judge of tue guilt or innocence of the
prisoner.
