Bitter Legal Battle Expected at

Ezra Cooper, who fatally wounded
Burt l.. Hunt, last Saturday morning
when he found Hunt in company with
his wife, at the Cooper home, is now
in the county Jail charged with first
degree murder. He had been out on
$500 bond all day Friday, charged
with assault with intent TO kill"
Cooper had gone about his business
just the same as before his trouble.
He hauled a load of wood in the after
noon. When he finished he went to
the offices of his attorneys, Atchison
and Schenck, and from there accom-
panied by one of his lawyers, went
to the county Jail and gave himself
up.
Late Friday afternoon Sheriff Lar
inner brought Mrs. Hunt to the court
house to sign the complaint against
Cooper. When she was handed the
pen she burst into tears and it was
some time before she could compose
herself sufficiently to sign the papers
Hunt Child is Ill.
Sheriff Larimer had found her in
her little home at $50 Highland ave-
nue. There she was nursing her
youngest son who has contracted
pneumonia. A1tho she had been day
and night at the bedside of her hus-
band and is almost completely ex-
hausted she is now as devotedly car
ing for her son.
The neighbors have been kind in
helping Mrs. Hunt and two relatives
from Kansas City are now assisting
her.
A great legal battle is expected to
occur as the result Of Cooper's arrest.
Judge Rad Lee of the court of To-
peka, announced Friday that it was
doubtful whether he would release
ison will make every move to secure
his release.
The unwritten law will undoubt-
eddy be Cooper's defense. He will at
tempt to show that Improper relations
existed between Hunt and his wife.
Cooper Not Worried.
Coope" appears quite calm and un-
perturbed over the matter. The iden-
tity of the two men who claimed they
saw Cooper enter vacant house a
short time bOfer the shooting has
not been ascertained- Their state
ment has given rise to the theory of
Hunts friends that Cooper from the
phone number which Hunt in his dy-
ing statement says was the reason he
went to the Cooper home. The state
will attempt to discover the two men.
Friends of Hunt claim there is no
real discrepancy between Hunts state
ments and Mrs. Cooper'S story. The
woman claims Hunt called to read the
gas meter. Friends say that before
he had time to tell her OF the tele-
phone number which he was to de-
liver, Mrs. Cooper told him to look
at the gas meter in the cellar. And
then before he had time to explain
Cooper appeared around the corner
of the house. It is said that Hunt fire.
