Indicted Lt. Gov. Cooper Files for Bankruptcy, Jan. 20, 1924

Bankruptcy Filed by Banker Cooper

By the Associated Press

Wilmington, Jan. 19—Lieutenant Governor B.W. Cooper, who goes on trial January 28, charged with violations of the national banking laws in connection with the failure of the Commercial National Bank here, today filed a petition in bankruptcy. His liabilities were listed as $226,035.87, and his assets as $223,855.84. In his petition, however, the lieutenant governor denied liability on bond listed in his liability column to the extent of $122,160, which would bring his total liabilities to $103,875.87.
