George Cooper

[Simon Wood]

Hi All,

NY Sun 23rd March 1890 -



Regards,

Simon

PS. Sorry, title should read Charles Cooper

[Chris]

What on earth will the Clarencites make of that? Are there any Clarencites still living?

Hello Chris, Simon,

If indeed Charles Cooper is his real name, one can wonder whether his known name is different.
Seems awfully strange of the New York Sun to suddenly "present" this quirky titbit of news without anything about Cooper himself, or what prison, or what his crime was (turning up at Buck House unannounced perhaps?). Even more quirky, that the story turns up on the other side of the pond again, without, as far as is known I presume Simon, any other reference from the UK newspapers? What a wierd story!

best wishes

Phil
