JUDGE'COOLEY COLLAPSES.
Former Interstate Commerce Commission
Chairman a Mental Wreck.
Detroit, July 28.—The brilliant mind
of Judge Thomas M. Cooley is now bnt
a wreck. He has been taken to a pri
vate retreat, believed to ba the sanita
rium at Flint.
During one of the rare periods when
Jndge Cooley is rational he was per
suaded by his physicians to consent to
his removal, as hi* sons decided that he
should not be removed otherwise.
Judge Cooley was born in Attica, N.
Y., iu 1824. He was a receiver of the
Wabash system, a justice of the state
supreme court and chairman of the in
terstate commerce commission for six
years, but he is best known as an au
thority on constitutional law.
His eldest sou. Dr. Thomas Cooley,
went with him from his home' in Ann
Arbor to the sauitarinm. aud will re
main with him to the end. His recov
ery ia not believed to be possible, as he
is a physical as well as a mental wreck.
Since his retirement from the inter
state commission Judge Cooley has
lived in Ann Afbor, failing steadily.
