COL. COOPER MAKES VIGOROUS WITNESS
Gives Some Very Tart Re plies in Cross Examina- tlon in Carmack Murder Case.
(specail from United Press.)

S.1
 Nashville, Tenn, Feb 25-Showing hght when pressed too closely by the prosecution, Colonel Duncan Cooper, charged jointly with Robin Cooper and John B. Sharp, with the murder of ex-Senator Edward w. Carmack un- derwent a long tongue siege on the witness stand to-day.
 II have always believed that man who keeps a fighting tongue should also keep fighting body,''~ was a bit of the Cooper philosophy which sheds some light on the feeling among the Coopers that Carmack by his course of criticism of the elder Cooper could come to but one end, that which even tually befell him.
 Agaln when his attorneys interpOs- ed as to the relevancy of certain tes- timony Colonel Cooper remarked in loud tones, Let them ask me any question they want to-can reply to anything" @f animation would not be concluded to- day although Judge Hart made 1t plain at the opening that it was his wish to eliminate much of the strenuous argu- ments between attorneys as to admis- sibility of evidence
 The defence announced to-day that they will prove that Senator Carmacl1 WcAS o111lCo 1O1 At t1Ool OC1OlO ilC " c1o killed: There has been much mystery surrounding the manner in which he got his pistol. It developed to-day that the pistol he carried was given to him by Major w. c. Vertress, a prominent local attorney, the Sunday night before the killing. This was just after the conference with F. B. Craig, through whom Colonel Cooper sent the message that if his name were again used in the "Tennesseean'' the town would mot be big enough to hold bOth.'' -- '.- F'"<N% sf+

Heroic Husbands.

Some women were discussing oyer their afternoon tea the statement that man is no more hero to his wife than to his valet. There seemed to be no opposition to the idea that mans servant did not appreciate him, but all stoutly maintained that their husbands were heroic in one way or another. ~ My husband is very heroic,''' said Mrs. Black. For instance, he will give up his visit to the club to play jackstraws with my old mother, and she is bis mother in-law, you know, '- .'I think I can beat that,,,,, remarked Mrs. Gray.

suit of the progress made in the
determination of the ticks which
