Daniel Cooper (murderer)
Daniel Richard Cooper (1881–1923) was a convicted New Zealand baby farmer and illegal abortionist. In 1922, he was apprehended at a Wellington suburban property and in 1923 found guilty of murder and executed. His wife Martha Elizabeth Cooper was acquitted as being under his influence.
==Early Life (1881-1918)==
Daniel Cooper was born to Elizabeth Ure and George Cooper, in Burns, Otago on 18 October 1881. Later in life, he became a builder, although he experienced two periods of contact with the police over theft- once in Oamaru in 1902, and again in Palmerston North in 1907. By 1907, he had settled in Awamangu, Otago and married Marion Burns. The couple were itinerant and shifted to New Plymouth and then Gore, Southland, in 1916. By then, Daniel had joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church and sold a booklet entitled ''The Practical Guide to Good Health.''
Tragedy struck when Marion died on 18 July 1917, in her eighth month of pregnancy. Although the initial diagnosis was pericarditis, the New Zealand Police reinvestigated the case in 1923, after Daniel Cooper was apprehended for suspected murder. Family friends expressed doubt about the circumstances of Marion's death; given that she was being treated for goitre with mercuric iodide, some argued that it was possible that he had intentionally overdosed his first wife with that medication 〔"Indicted for Murder" ''New Zealand Truth:'' 17 March 1923〕
