Cooper Gets
Prison Term
In Odd Case

BRAZIL, Ind, June 10--William IA.
Cooper of Kokomo, formerly of Terre
Haute, Indianapolis, Muncie and Bowling
Green, KY, has been notified to appear
in Circuit Court here Monday to receive
sentence of two to fourteen years I'M
prisonment on forgery charge In one Of
the queerest criminal cases In Indiana
court annals.
In July, 1921, two strangers broke into
the Houk real estate> office and stole a
number OF blank checks with the firms
name printed on them. They disconnected
the telephone wires.
Just after the banks opened the next
day, man identified as one OF the
strangers seen in a hotel lobby the night
before, dressed like farmer, presented
check for $3.50 to the Riddel National
Bank. representing himself to be ]. S.
Williams OF Carbon. He said he had re-
ceived the money in land deal. He
started a checking account for $500 and
took $3.50 cash.
He met the confederate down the street
and they rushed away to Terre Haute in
a taxi. In September Cooper was arrested
in Bowling Green. At the trial, witnesses
testified Cooper had been in Kokomo on
the date of the forgery, but on the basis
of alleged perjury, the jury convicted him
and fined him $1,000. Among the wit
nesses were leading bankers and business
men Of Kokomo.
James Caldwell and Charles Whitlock.
Terre Haute attorneys. appealing for a
new trial, presented a confession to the
forgery signed by Joseph Brooks. an in
mate Of the Allen County jail, who was
charged with burglary. Chief of Police
Bolin obtained a confession from Brooks,
however, that the first statement was
wrong and that he was promised a lighter
sentence If he would sign It.
Cooper was identified by cashiers of
two Columbus banks as the man for
whom they had cashed similar checks fol-
lowing an identical robbery Of a real
estate office in Columbus

''Since you are determined not to
invest in the bridge stock, perhaps you
win tell me why you are so dead set
against itf" the man asked.

other replied. "The reason i don't
