Cedar Rapids Republican, December 18, 1925

Charles Cooper, a Davenport lawyer, lost a case in Scott County court and also 
lost his bottle. Loss of the case was bad enough, but when a bottle of alleged 
liquor fall from an attorney's pocket in open court, that's another thing. 
Members of the Scott County Bar Association said today that the affair warranted 
an investigation.

Cooper was defending a colored man charged with a statutory offense and had 
finished his closing arguments when a half pint bottle of a colorless liquid 
fell from his pocket. A Deputy Sheriff picked up the bottle and gave it to 
Sheriff Martin. The Sheriff declared the bottle contained "white mule."
