2. Poe had a look of “vacant stupidity
Poe had a look of “vacant stupidity.” He wore neither vest nor tie, his dingy trousers fit badly, his shirt was crumpled, his cheap hat soiled. Snodgrass thought he must be wearing castoff clothing, having been robbed or cheated of his own. The fact that Poe was not wearing his own clothes suggests that he had fallen victim to being cooped. Most people would not willingly give up their own clothes in exchange for soiled, poorly fitting, and older items of clothing. Since it was a regular practice of the political gangs to disguise victims in order to force them to vote multiple times, Poe’s odd dress points to the cooping theory.
