Afternoon Session.

The afternoon session was short
and during it's life of one hour and Is
minutes Mr.. Getchell was under
cross examination by Mr.. Heath. The
witness was required to enter into
great detail giving the comparative
measurements of the rooms, from cor
ner to corner, door to door, and win
dew to window, etc. and he was also
required to give his opinion on the
slopes of the lawns that surround the
Cooper house, the three terraces, etc
All Of this testimony was of purely
technical nature.
Mr.. Heath called the attention of the
witness to the section of the wall-pap-
cred wall, and section of the window
which was chopped out of the Cooper
home and asked him to identify it,
The witness did so with some show of
caution, as he said that he thought
that the wallpaper looked to be some
what different in design, although he
added that the conditions under which
he now viewed it might have been re-
sponsible for his doubt as to it's posi-
tive identity.
While under cross examination by
Mir. Heath. court adjourned at 800
O'Clock until Monday morning at $50
O'Clock. The exhibits were carefully
covered and removed to n place of
safety by Sheriff Ham to remain until
they are required during the trial.

which occurred on the night that
Northy died. 1t is alleged that DR..
Smith questioned the accused woman
about the affair and asked her if young
Northy shot himself. It is claimed that
the physician also held u jackknife at
different angles and asked Mrs. Coop
er if the young man had hald the pis-
tol in the way he illustrated and the
State will attempt to prove that the
woman answered him by saying: II
shall never tell anything"
The county attorney told of the re-
port of tho autopsy, which was per-
formed on the body Of young Northy
and said that in an error in debating
the report to stenOgrapher, DR.. A. II.
Stu:tevant of Augusta, who was one of
the three physicians who performed
TIE autopsy, allowed the statement to
be included in the report that the hair
about the bullet wound was curled I'M
der and slightly singed. The county at
tOrrey said that the State will attempt
to prove that this report was errone-
Gus and that it was later changed by
the order Of the three physicians who
performed the autopsy. Expert wit
nesscs will be produced by the State to
support this claim, among them Prof
Whittier of Bowdoin College, who, the
state says, will swear that after Il
microscopic examination of the head
of the young man, he was not able to
ind distinct evidence of singed or
curled hair. or powder marks.
The county attorney mentioned
briefly the arrest of Mrs. Cooper and
hpr hearing hpfnra nd Of
the municipal court in Augusta and
concluded his address by saying:
''Now it is for you to say whether or
not our evidence is enough, and more
than enough, to justify this prosecu-
ton and require the conviction of this

THE COOPER TRIAL.
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Cured and when Charlie Northy came
out of that house his heart had ceased
to beat and his soul had gone to its re-
ward"
Following this opening address to
the jury, the county attorney proceed
ed to give an exhaustive outline of
what the State would attempt to prove
iii the trial. Mr.. Leigh led up to the
story of the alleged crime with a re-
view Of the acquaintanceship of the
accused and the dead young man. and
he also told of the friendship that eX-
listed between young Northy and Ma
rion Carey. He said that the State
woul1 prove that this friendship was
distasteful to Mrs. Cooper and the
State win produce witnesses, the coun-
ty attorney said, TO show that she had
said in the presence of others on more
than one occasion that she would do
what she could to break up the affair
between Northy and the girl. Two of
the witnesses who will be produced by
the State to substantial this state
ment are Mr.. and Mrs. Truman Ellis,
it being alleged that Mrs. Cooper made
the remark in their hearing that Ma
