Cooper Conviction Appealed Over Liquor Control Act
The Iowa Supreme Court considered Cooper's appeal over his 1935 conviction for violating the liquor control act. Lawyers argued the statute targets officials who permit violations by inferiors, while prosecutors contended a 1934 raid and a letter showing knowledge made the crime complete. Cooper resigned after a council hearing and his appeal examined jury instructions and knowledge standards.

Prohibition Era Liquor Case Arguments Over Seals
Defense contends Cooper believed the liquor was legal and the commission had authority over seals, arguing no illegal act in giving stickers to Farmer. Maley counters that post 1925 Iowa law made liquor possession illegal, making Cooper aware Farmer held or brought liquor illegally. The liquor control act cites wrongdoing by any commission member who knowingly aids violations.
