Soap is cheaper than clothes
and it pays, therefore, to get
the best soap, even for laundry
purposes. The best laundry
soap made is a white soap
called Sunny Monday, !"
which contains no rosin and
is kind to clothes. One bar of
Sunny Monday will go as far
as two bars of ordinary yellow
laundry soap which contains
rosin; its use, therefore, means
economy.

IN ITS LAST STAGES.
Trial of John E. Cooper on the Charge
of Murder at Winooski.

Burlington, Feb. Arguments We're
presented in Chittenden county court
to-day in the case Of John + Cooper, the
colored soldier, who Is charged with the
murder OF James Williams at Winooski
last December, the defense having closed
its case yesterday, and the state hav-
ing put on some testimony in rebuttal.
The respondent was on the stand for
eross-examination
lie testified he got bacl, to Fort Ethan
Allen after the affair at Poorboy's house
some time the next day, he thought, but
he wasn't certain lie went to the sta
BILE and remained there until the time
he was found. He said he was not GER
tain whether he was in the bedroom or
the sitting room at Poorboy's house
when he pulled his knife. He couldn't
recollect at what point he left the knife,
or what was the last thing that hap
pened before he left the Poorboy house.
On the redirect examination, Cooper
testified he did not mean to answer the
attorney generals question that he did
not know that anything had happened
at the Poorboy house. He said he meant
TO be understood that something had
happened there. but he did not know
what the consequences were.
Speaking of his education, Cooper said
he went to school II or 10 years in Ohio
and had been a short time at the high
school. The defense rested at the close
OF the respondent Cooper's testimony.
The witness called by the state in re-
buttal was George McIane, who said he
was at the Hiawatha club about six Or
half past. the night of December 20, aud
he saw Cooper there in the recreation
room and spoke to him.
The state then introduced certain
questions and answers OF Dr. Burdick
about Williams mental condition at the
time Of his taking his dying declaration
at the hospital This was done by way
of rebuttal and was admitted subject
to the exception OF the defense
