Life Term For Harold Riggs Amid State Insanity Evidence
Harold Riggs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Neal Koopman, was sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Barker in Clinton after last Saturday's trial. The court dismissed late evidence from Mrs. Geo. Riggs and Mrs. Rices, noting Riggs and his family history of mental illness but denying mercy. The confession described a struggle at Lone Grove bluff ending with a fatal shooting of Stewart after an alleged lure of alcohol caches.
