Saturday, January 21, Sex Sf ory Purveyor Run Down by Author Philadelphia, Jan. 21 (U.R) A deal er In obscene literature started a federal prison term Friday as result of the sleuthing of Courtney Riley Cooper, author of crime stories and close friend of J. Edgar Hoover. Federal Judge Harry E. Kalodner sentenced Samuel Weinsteln, alias Albert Bchaefler, to a year and a day, gave him a five-year suspended sentence and placed him on five years' probation on charges of send ing obscene books through the mail. "I was appalled by the number of sex crimes," Cooper told the court. "Criminologists agree that free ac cess to books on sex Is in part re sponsible. I decided to gather ma terial for a book on the effect of obscenity of youth." Cooper said he posed as an Illit erate muck soil farmer and gave his Sebrlng, Fla.. address In commun icating with Weinsteln, from whom he obtained a book called "Midnight Intimacies" and a set of two vol umes titled "Memories of Madame Ma delaine.' "I agreed to pay $15 for 'Midnight Intimacies' and $45 for the others," Cooper testified. "I found them to be the most vile and rotten mater ial ever written."
