Made Threats - Cooley Denies He
Did Shooting.
special to Times-Republlcan.

Special to Times Republican.
Sigoufney, Feb. 24.-The case of the
State of Iowa VS. Print Cooley is on
in the district court here. Yesterday
was consumed with the pleas of the
attorneys and the instructions from
the court.
Print Cooley is charged with the
murder OF James Smyth is What
Cheer last October. James Smyth
was known around What Cheer as a
bum. He had no friends and no
money. Cooley was blacksmith,
and had been in the insane asylum
from the effects of strong drink twice
in the last four years. When in What
Cheer, however. Cooley kept his shop
in AN old building to which he claim
ed ownership.
The evidence introduced seemed to
show that a few days before Smyth's
death he claimed to be the owner
of the old building and had succeeded
in driving Cooley out. At different
times each one put a paddock on the
uoOT anu luc result was t'l'aI iiNie''S'
one could get into the shop. Smyth
later broke in the back door and took
possession. Cooley had him arrested
and the justice bound him over to the
grand jury. Smyth gave bonds and re-
tanned possession of the old building.
This seemed to weigh on Cooley's
mind, and on the evening previous to
the death of Smyth, Cooley got drunk
and made several threats that he
would get Smyth before morning. The
next morning Smyth was found dead
in front of the old shop. An exam
nation showed that he had been shot
with small revolver, perhaps not
larger than number %. Cooley was
arrested and one man testified that
he saw Cooley fire the shot that killed
Smyth.
The defense introduced evidence
that Cooley was so crazed by the acts
Of Smyth that he again became in
sane and was not, therefore, RESPONSE
BILE for the deed if he did commit it.
Cooley took the stand In his own be-
half and denied shooting Smyth, but
stated that he was present when an
other man killed him.

moments later another member of the
store force happened to see the check
in the cash drawer, remarked that
Orris had forgotten how to spell his

but one "r."
An investigation was at once start

to be q forgery.
The authorities We're at once notified
and in less than an hour the young
man was found quietly eating his din-
ner in one of the boarding houses and

1t later developed that he had pass

caught.
