HUFFMAN IS ACQUITTED OF
MURDER OF COOK BY JURY
LONGEST MURDER CASE TRIED
IN KENT SINCE POWELL CASE
Cook Was Well Known Over in Ken
ton Hundred Where He Had ReIa-
tives-Much Interest in Trial

After being out but twenty minutes
the jury in the case of Walter Luff-
man charged with the murder of Will
liam D. Cook on May 5, of this year
returned verdict of not guilty, Sat
urday afternoon. Luffman thanked
the jurors and shook hands with each
of them. The case required four days
to trial it being the longest murder
case tried in Kent county since the
famous Powell murder case of 1904
1t is understood that the jury took
but two ballots. Huffman was dis
charged and returned to his home near
Petersburg where his wife and chill
dren were awaiting him. Luffman
was indicted at the last July term for
murder of the first degree Of Will
liam 3. Cook, a farmer living near
Petersburg, Kent county, on the 9Th
day of May last. Cook is related to
the Cook family about Kenton, well
known in the Smyrna vicinity. Luff
man, who had been living by himself
since his wife had left him some sew
en- or eight weeks prior to the shoot
ing, had been at the home of Perry
Williams and Henry Williams, living
near Hazlettville, in West Dover, on
the night before the shooting with
William Hamilton and had arrived at
Cooks home near Petersburg about
five o'clock in the morning of May 5th.
Hamilton left the Cook home shortly
after their arrival and went over to
the home Of Edgar Kemp, short dis
tance away. He had been at the
Kemp home, but few minutes, it was
alleged, when he heard some one call
ing and looking in the direction of
the Cook home saw that it was Cook
calling murder as he stumbled out of
a front room at the Cook home, and
that after he had called murder twice.
Cook sank to the ground. Hamilton
and Kemp ran to Cooks assistance
and found that he had been shot un
der one arm, tearing away part of
the ribs and chest wall. Cook was
rushed to the Milford Hospital where
he died few hours after being taken
to the hospital Before he died how
ever when asked by the attending
physician and nurses as to how he
was shot, is alleged to have called the
name of Lutfman Huffman or Hoff
man. With the testimony produced
before the Coroner's jury held on May
9th by those at the Cook home at the
time Cook called for help, and from
the testimony of those at the hospital
who heard Cooks apparent dying de-
claration. huffman was held by the
Coroner on May 9th charged with the
shooting of Cook.
