Man Charged With Killing
B. V. Cook Arraigned
in District Court.
USE MEDICAL EXPERTS
Case Seems to Hinge on
Whether Death Was Re-
suit Of Wounds.

Henry Smith, charged with the
murder of b. V. Cook, began his tight
for freedom yesterday in the district
court with Judge ]. Y. Murray. jr.,
sitting. The jury was completed Sat
urday and the testimony of ten state $
witnesses had been taken when court
adjourned late in the afternoon.
Cook died March 4, 1914, after q
iight with Smith over a lease on some
land located near the town of Turley.
smith stabbed Cook five times during
the fight which occurred February 2l.
Doctors who attended Cook testified
Yesterday that death was due to a
blood clot. directly traceable to the
wound. which formed over the heart.
Expert Testimony.
In rebuttal to this testimony 1t is
expected the defense will introduce
medical experts who will attempt to
argue that death was not due to the
knife thrusts. Every point the
state tried to make was bitterly
fought by the defense and the jury
had to be excused from the room sew
eral times while the attorneys argued
admissible evidence to the court.
The clothes worn by Cook at the
tiine vi tne StaDDlng were introduced
by the state in the afternoon.
Mrs. Cook took her place inside the
rail with the states attorneys and at
frequent intervals prompted them in
their questioning OF witnesses.
Self-Dcfcnsc.
1t is expected that the main defense
to be offered will be self defense. On
the witness stand .. b. Larkin said
he witnessed the tragedy and that the
first thing he saw was when Smith
fell to the ground. He declared he
jumped up and ran after Cook, over
taking him within few steps and
hitting him in the back, knocking him
down. According to the testimony of
I.arkin, Smith jumped astride Cooks s
PROSTATE body and hit him several
times.
Smith is represented by the law
firms of Curry & Spillers and David
son & Williams. Former County At
torney Ed Grassland is assisting his
successor, ]. =. Evers. and Assistant
County Attorneys Ed Warren and
George Reeves for the state.
The case will probably go to the
jury late this afternoon.

Coalson wandered about until he
reached the residence of C. u. Davis
Hearing mutterings and the sound OF

quired who the man was. Coalson
came up to him and told him OF the
fight he had had and Mr.. Davis took

the house and when they told him he
was under arrest he made no resist
ance. Coalson was in his stocking
feet and asked that he be permitted
to go to his mothers home to get his
shoes before being taken to the police
station.
Reaching the porch Coalson broke
away from the officers and ran be-
tween the Davis residence and an
other house. where he grabbed up n

he was" This was the general trend

by Assistant County Attorney George
Reeves.
Officers Brand COalsOn.
Practically every officer on the
force took the stand and said that
CoalsOn was a raving maniac when
drinking or using dope" and that he
would not hesitate to do anything.
The same officers and other char
acter witnesses said that Detective
Rewley has always borne an excellent
reputation. both as citizen and an
officer. Bewley declared on the stand
that nc had no alternative. "He was
going to brain me and the only thing
I could do was TO shoot" he said.
a brother of Coalson declared yes
terday that the shooting was not justi-
fled and that he would seek recourse
at once in the courts.

game between the Giants and Cubs
is manifestly unfair. The vast ma
jority Of the $4,000 spectators were
there to see a baseball game, and
when it was over they were ready to
go home.
But there were a few Vandals press
ent who lacked the first element Of
fair play and craftsmanship. They
were of the stuff of which mObs are
usually composed, brave when in a
crowd and opposed to one man.
When Umpire RigIer called a third
strike on Heinie Zimmerman for the
last out of the game, leaving the
Giants victOrs, some of these brave
began to shy cushions at
the aTbiter. Their aim was as straight
as their principles, and many women
in the crowd were endangered by the
flying pads.
Not satisfied with this, mud balls
were then brought into play and Rig
leT's back was plastered by large
gobs of wet clay. So far as could
be learned, no arrests were made.
The best thing the management
of the North Side club can do is to
call for a large police detail when
an overflow crowd is present (fOr it
is on these occasions that the rowdies
