coLoNEL cooPERs pEATH.


Last night Colonel Ezekiel T. Cooper
died in the New Jersey state prison at
Trenton Of cramps and hiccoughs. His
death is a shock to the entire state and
to the hundreds OF his true friends in
other places. They were waiting for
the expiration Of his term to take him
by the hand and assure him of con-
tinuance OF their friendship in spite of
his conviction and Imprisonment. They
are not the sentlmentalists Of the state,
but its most solid and substantial citi-
zens. No prisoner ever went to jail
with more heartfelt sympathy than did
Colonel Cooper. His arrest was a pub
lie shock and a public sorrow, which
were but intensified by his conviction.
Now all that is left to those friends is
to follow his remains to the grave. II
every friend he has in Delaware were
to do so it would be the largest and
one OF the most representative fu-
nerals ever held I'm the state. This
seems a strange statement TO make,
but It is a truthful one Most men,
when misfortune overtakes them, lose
their friends. With Colonel Cooper IL
was different. AS his troubles increased
the friendships which he en-
1oyed were strengthened with
them He knew it and appreciated it,
and the strength and representative
character Of the petition for his pardon
attested the truth Of these statements.
We have already recited the fact
that his application for a pardon was
refused. Yesterday we printed the
text OF the letter OF refusal, from the
Department OF Justice, and with it the
text Of the rules. together with the
life Of the deceased and a review OF the
trial. little dreaming that to-day we
should be called upon to chronicle his
death. There is little else to say. He
is dead on the eve Of the expiration Of
his sentence. and. whether guilty or
innocent OF the charges made against
him by William n. Boggs. we repeat
that from one end OF the state to the
other there are thousands OF men and
women Of intelligence and respectable
ity who VIII hear, with heartfelt sor-
row, Of his death at time when they
were prepared 10 demonstrate TO him
that they were still his friends and be-
lieyed in his honesty and integrity.
