Question husband of W C T A leader continued from page
The coroner's jury resumed hearings into the shooting, with Sheriff Ruhl saying Roy Cook failed to fully explain his whereabouts the night of the killing. Testimony from laborer Charley Percifield, who made threatening remarks while intoxicated, was set for closed doors. Mrs. Cook feared for her life and spoke of a letter praising prohibition work. Cook claimed he was in Grundy Center asleep Monday night en route from Sioux City to Vinton, a claim not fully supported by evidence. He had not lived at his Vinton home for five years, visiting his wife only occasionally.
