Couple
TELLS WHAT HE SAW
He Said Mrs, Cooper and Young Northey
Went Hand in Hand Prayer Meeting
Episode--H Heard the Accused Say
She Liked Charley.

Augusta, Me-, April 6.--That Mrs
Alice +. Cooper was very angry at thu
Christian Endeayor meeting Of the Bap-
list church at Cooper's Mills On Sunday
evening when she made the engagement
with Charles D. Northey to make what
proved to be his death call at her house
on the following Tuesday was the posi-
tive testimony Of Perry French on the
witness stand yesterday in the trial of
the young married woman for the all
legged murder Of the boy.
The witness declared that Mrs. Coop
CIR and young Northey had sat together
during the service and that she talked to
him continuously. He said she was mad,
because her face was read, her eyes
snapped and she nodded her head with
q beiligerent swing.
This description Of the accused wom-
ans action at the church fitted her de-
nleanor yesterday as she listened To the
testimony given by various witnesses
against her. John buggy told Of spying
upon her and Northey in the dusk Of
evening. Truman Ellis testified that
she had said she did not want Charley
Northey to 60 with Marian Carey be-
cause she liked him herself. Then fol-
lowed French's story of the last public
meeting Of herself and Northey.
II don't want Charley Northey to 10
with Marian Carey. Her family will
have bad influence over him. shall
do everything that 7 can to break up
their friendship. Besides | like Charley
myself
Ed says. sometimes be thinks | like
Charley better than | like him.
These were the statements that Ellis
swore he heard Mrs Cooper make before
the tragedy, and which fired the accused
woman with anger and Indignation. III
was considered BY the state al the
strongest evidence that had been pro-
duced to support their claim that the
woman had killed the young man in,
a fit of jealousy.

County Attorney Leigh, said:
