 At II o'clock on Saturday night after five hours and thirty minutes of deliberation, the jury in the Cooper case returned a verdict of guilty. Murder in the first degree without capital punishment was what they found John Cooper guilty of In the minds of the twelve men John Cooper brutally and premedi tatedly murdered William Wimbish and attempted to hide his crime by burning the remains of his victim IT. two different fires which he ignited for the purpose. Cooper will be sentenced this morning to life i'm prisonment at hard labor by Judge Cornelius B. Murane At that time his attorneys may ask for new trial, or appeal the case to higher court
 When the verdict was announced there were very few people in the court room. The prisoner was brought to the court room by Dep, uty Marshal s. B. Waite. He took the verdict calmly, showing no emo. tion whatsoever, and went to his cell just as quietly as if he had not heard that never again would he see the light of heaven free man. There was apparently no feeling in his heart of regret or of repentance.
 Judge Murane thanked the jurors for their fearlessness in carrying out their bounden duties as such and then dismissed them. He like wise dismissed the attorneys for tha defense, and then adjourned court until Monday morning at 10 o'clock Both MT. Crossley and MT. Brown expressed themselves as being sat isfied with the verdict. They have worked hard and tirelessly on this case, and they wove a web of cir. cumstantial evidence around the ac cused so strongly that he could not escape To them is due great credit for the manner in which they con ducted the prosecution.
