SURPRISE SPRUNG
BY PROSECUTION
ATTORNEYS SAY COOK WAS
INSANE
WIFE SLAYER ON TRIAL FOR
MURDER
Matron of Detention Home Describes
Actions of Mrs. Fred D. Cook
When Husband and
Wife Met

The prosecution in the trial of Fred
D. Cook, charged with the killing of his
wife in August last, sprung surprise
on the defense yesterday afternoon
when it called to the stand witness
heretofore overlooked in the person OF
Mrs. Marie Shoemaker, matron of the
detention home, at which place Mrs.
Cook was employed as housekeeper
The testimony of this witness was in
troduced for the purpose of showing
premeditation on the part of Cook,
Mrs. Shoemaker saying Cook had met
her and Mrs. Cook on the afternoon
before the night of the shooting.
Cook, she said, wore a false mus
tach and had dyed his hair. He urged
Mrs. Cook to go driving with him, but
she refused, telling Mrs. Shoemaker she
was afraid of him. Later, however,
they went away together and she did
not again hear of them until she read
an account of the shooting.
Another incident in connection with
the trial was the reading of lengthy
statement said to have been made by
Cook some days ago and taken down in
shorthand by business college student.
Overcome by Jealousy
From this statement 1t would appear
that Cook was overcome by jealousy
when the shooting took place. He saw
his wife and another man in park,
according to his story, and their ac-
tions aroused his suspicious. On a
later day he said he saw Mrs. Cook
and the same man standing before a
window in a room and that his Wfe
pulled down the blind.
ST wrote to her telling her she should
act differently" read the statement,
land when she saw me she begged OF
me to get a minister, as she wanted
spiritual consolation"
Referring to the ocean Park trip, on
the return from which Mrs. Cook was
killed, Cook said he saw the same man
on the car, and remembering that his
wife had told him this man carried a
revolver he fired.
A number of depositions from per-
sons in the east, where Cook lived, told
of his peculiar actions and number or
witnesses were called to the stand VINO
stated that Cook was looked upon as
insane by his associates.
At one point during the testimony OF
one of Cooks former employers the de-
fendant surprised everybody In the
courtroom by bursting into fit of ap-
parently uncomfortable laughing, which
continued for almost five minutes.
The trial will be resumed at 10 o'clock
today and may go to the jury this
evening.

CHILD IS PLACED
IN AUNT'S CARE
MOTHERS DYING STATEMENT
READ
r. JEFF WHITE TO FIGHT FOR
LITTLE ONE
LEGAL Battle VIII Be Waged for
Daughter of Former Theatrical
Manager-Writ of Habeas
Corpus Issued

A contest for the guardianship of
little ANNA B. White, the 6-year-old
daughter of T. jeff end Jeannette
White, will take place in Judge VIII
bur's court at O'Clock today, between
the father and Mrs. Mary Jauch, his
foster mother, on one side, and Virginia
Gutsch. the child's aunt, from whom
she was taken several days ago by
White and placed in Mrs. Jauch' S
home.
On application of Mrs. Gutsch writ
of habeas corpus was yesterday issued
by Judge Charles Monroe, calling on
White and Mrs. Jauch to bring the
little girl into court at the hour named.
If the mothers wishes, as expressed
in her last will, are to be regarded, the
child will probably be restored to the
custody of Mrs. Gutsch, who had the
girl in her keeping from the time OF the
death of the mother on March 10 TO
the day on which she was taken by
the father. Mrs. Whites will, which is
dated but three days before her death,
was filed for probate in the superior
court yesterday.
The small property, amounting only
to $500, is left to Mrs. Gutsch. who Is
named as executrix without bond.
II will give all my property to my
daughters aunt" says the will, "reallz-
ing that / leave very little, and that
the aunt will at all times take the pest
care of my child"
The instrument further declares that
the failure to give anything to her hus-
band is intentional, and continuing
reads as follows:
IT hereby nominate and appoint Vir-
ginia NJ. Gutsch the guardian OF the
person and estate of my child, ANNA
b. White, and 1 request that at no time
the custody of my child be taken from
her aunt.
my husband has deserted me and
has not cared or provided for our child,
whereas my aunt has done everything
she could for me and my child"

Letter from Norman E. Mack
In addition TO the foregoing letter,
Mr.. Jones yesterday received the fol-
lowing significant communication from
Norman E. Mack, New York member
of the Democratic national committee:
BUFFALO, April 6, 190S.-Mattison
B. Jones, Los Angeles, Cal. My Dear
Mr.. Jones: ] am glad to learn of the
good work you are doing in organlz-
ing the Democratic League of Southern
California. 1t should result in great
benefit to the Democracy in the presi-
dental campaign. There is much that
an organization of the kind can do to
add to the strength of the party In its
fight.
From reports I have received from
the different western states L am led
TO believe that they will give heavy
ma1orities for the Democratic ticket.
1.-The chances of the Democratic party
carrying New York and other doubtful
eastern states are exceedingly good.
The party is united and harmonious.
There is every evidence of desire to
carry the Democratic banner to glo-
rious triumph. The outlook is most en-
couraging.
The Democratic sentiment in New
York state is for the nomination OF
Bryan. No other candidate is being
considered. The belief is that he is the
j. hot n a
success of the party in this campaign
depends upon his nomination. The
situation is the same in the other east
ern states. In all Of them the Demo-
Gratis are active and determined. All
signs point to Democratic victory
with best wishes for the Democratic
League of Southern California, am,
VERY truly yours,
NORMAN e. MACK"
