that Cooper still had on deposit $104.
Charles Cooper was scarcely past
twenty years of age, a capable and
industrious student. He left his home
il Aurora, Ill, last August and ma
circulated at the Stanford University.
He Joined the ranks of the determined
young seekers after knowledge who
support themselves as they study.
This task was easy for Cooper, for he
was a competent stenographer. Men
OF his profession were much in demand
around the university.
II. Woods. a former student of the
university and a resident Of Palo Alto,
knew the young student in Illinois. He
called at the Morgue yesterday when
he heard OF the tragedy. Woods said
that he could think OF no motive for
the deed.
Early in the spring" said Woods,
Cooper wrote TO me asking what the
chances were for a young fellow to
work his way through Stanford. l told
him that they were good, so he came
out and registered. He visited my peo-
pie and myself frequently at Palo
Alto and seemed an earnest student
and a pleasant young fellow"
Mr. Woods further said:
His habits. SO far as / know. were good.

him that II he was ever temporarily embar-

Cooper left Palo Alto Saturday
morning. On Saturday evening he at
tended the Majestic Theater. On Sun
day night he went to the Chutes and
afterWard walked into the park Near
the prayer book cross he halted, and,
pressing a revolver tightly against his
temple. pulled the trigger. SO firm
was his clutch upon the weapon that
COroner's Deputy Brown had some diff
fculty in removing it from the stiffened
hand.
Cooper had letters of introduction to
the following people: Richard S. AL
len, 211 Drumm street; Miss Ethel AL
len, I. NJ. Calvin Of the Eby Machinery
Company and Mrs. Bette Adams of
Berkeley. He had presented none of
the letters. Woods says the father of
young Cooper is a train dispatcher at
Aurora. IL, though a card in the dead
boys pocket reads: Cooper & Son, In
surance Agents" indicating that father
and son had been in that business to-
gether. One of the most pathetic arti-
cles in the boys possession was a check
showing that he was one of the joyful
Stanford rooters at the football game.
