story todsy was the defense's trump

killing OF CaFmscs was not murder, but
was in ss.l-defense, and 1t is the first
time since tie tragedy that the veil Of
silence has been lifted by the parties
actually concerned. The report that
Cooper was to testify brought az
enormous crowd to the scene.
By order Of Judge Hart, all persons
who could not get seats we're excluded,

The early portion of Oooper's
testimony was devoted to an unimpor-
