ON
CHARGE Of
PERJURY
Jordan Cooper, a Young Man
of Santa Rosa County,
Given Hearing.

Jordan Cooper, a young man resld-
ing near Holt station IN Santa Rosa
county, was committed to the county
Jail yesterday by United States Com
missioner Marsh upon the charge OF
perjury, while Gage Adams and Tom
Cooper, also of the same county, and
who were charged with entering a
conspiracy to hire Jordan Cooper to
perjure himself, were discharged.
The preliminary hearing of the cases
occurred yesterday afternoon before
Commissioner Marsh, and large
number of witnesses were heard.
Adams and Tom Cooper were repre-
scented by Chas. H Laney while the
prosecution was conducted by District
Attorney Sheppard.
1t developed in the trial that Jor-
dan Cooper had made the statement
that he had purchased whiskey from
two parties in Santa Rosa county, but
when on the stand swore differently.
He stated in the preliminary trial
yesterday afternoon that his reason
for doing this was that he had been
taken into an old building near Holt,
before the trial, and told that if he
swore he purchased the whiskey he
would be killed.
During the trial it developed that a
number of members of the Cooper
family and other relatives were not
on pleasant terms.
Bond for Jordan Cooper was fixed
at $500, and as he could not give
bond he was committed to Jail to
await the action of the next grand
jury.
