 "fgat Craig comes back and says; Colonel, 1 can do nothins.' He fasy not have said Carmsek is in sn ugly bumor.' Colonel Cooper says hs did snd believe he did. but H hs dd not. the silence sftsr thst phrase. Colonel, can do sothibx, told more tissn all tbs words ln ths world.
 ",h, scsfmsek. wbv didn't you think Of your old friends age, his inarmityf Why didn't you think of his two beau. tlfai dauKhfers who nave hoversd around him here like exquisite guard. Ian anssis7 1T could have two such dsa sbtsrs ss these. would be willing to undergo all that Cooper Is now uHs ehssp.
 "But what doss Carmaek do7 He arms himself. lie fears the bots c6i- 6nsl Cooper threatened to send will come. He says. T am not going to let him escape. sm going t0 make him send ms that nots.' So he wrote that last edltorisi. The Diplomat of the EWeibund
 General Washington asked the Jurors None intimated thst hs hAd, % the speaker described ens. lis compared Colonel Cooper with Che bull and dc. eisred that csrfnssk's sditorisis were fhs babdsriiios which maddsnsd ths bull into \ charge.
 "who is the matsdor7 Who carries the keen Damascus tisde7 Our great fDstadof seizss his pen and writes. and hs uses | revolver ss papsr weight And he hurIs the last bsndsrffio to drive ths old bull into frenzy.
 Cooper is in my way, says Car. mack. The brsins of Patterson are In my way and f1i drive"
 T object" said Attofney General Me- Carn. T do not object to anything that is in the record, but there is noth- ing in ths record about ths brains Of ths administration"
 Lust | harmless pleasantly" said Washington.
 "Wsii. stick to the record for your pisasantriss," replied Mccarn.
 I'll get right back into tho record whenever I get out" promised Wash inxton.
 "Bettsr stay in," commented the court. ",hsn you won't bave to ses back into H."
 Declared Open War.
 "Wsli, carmatk wrote The Diplomat of the Zweibund' and he thus dssiared open war. lie did ft to declare open war and to compel Colonel Cooper eith- or to ist him alone or to approach him upon the street. He knew that with those erumpisd fnss . Colonel Cooper could not pull trisser. he know he was safe"
 General Washington took the rsvoiv- ST and showed ths jury how hard tt would be for Cooper to shoot.
 We can only conjecture what was in Carmaek's mind. Hut it was one Of two things. Hs would either blun Cooper or force an assault carmsck quarters of An inch in height and per- feetly proportionsd.
 7 "coionei Cooper saw in Crsig's eyes that there was danger, that Carnaek was In an ugly mood. Bo he armed himself and if. he had not done so. he would Do in bfs grave today.
 General Washington saw the error hers--ths defenss's contention being that Cooper never even drew his gun until the shooting was ovsr--aso hs said: '1f HobIn Cooper had not armed himself, they would both be dead to- day.
 Now they say that Miss Lee was shock d at what the colonel said. Wen. I do not want 10 say anything mean about Miss Lss. Bet when she said s6e could not, oh. just couldn't, repeat the words. and the court lot her write them. I thought ws were going to hear something awful but all she wrote was 4.~."
 o-nsrai washington repeated the profanity as though the women of Ma sb vile were wont to hear it daily. The epithets used included the most vile that ono man can apply to another.
 That's all. gentlemen. that she says she heardf'
 The speaker argued that ali the fear expressed by Mrs. Buroh because her father was armed was because he was so pacific and she had pcver hoard Aof such q thing in her life. He claimed that Robins alarm was due to his knowledge Of his fathers crippled hand and his consequent inability to protect himself. He claimed Mrs. Burch was so hysterieai that sho exaggerated the trouble and placed c construction on it not warranted by Colonel Coop CTS language Of intentions.
 "Dr. Witherspoon hears from Mrs. Dureh at ? A. m. the day of the. killing that Papa ia armed and threatens to kill Carmack on sight He tries 10
  ager of The Tennessesan. Finally. at ii o'clock, when tho nre ia out and tho plate ia cold. Lander hears tho reat and teiis Carmaek. Now, if Lam der were woman, 1 would call him Mrs Malaprop, for he seems to have a faculty for doing tho wrong thing at the wrong tims. Lander goes over and pours this warmed over tale into Car maek's ear and he converts carmack Into a stick of dynamite"
 HurIesaue Imitation.
 General Washington next devoted nearly haif an hour to n buriesaue im- itation of General uarner's cross sx. animation of witnesses which seemed to amuse some Of the Jurors more than others. He compared Garner to bee- martin peekins atw great eegie--ths eagle he said was John Sharp-and In pa ntomine, he initiated tho assaults of the bee martin. He jumped around In front of the jury box, Rrotesquely waving his arms like the wings Of an aeropiane about to ascend.
 General Washington then returned to the case and discovered Colonel Coop" or at the Maxwell House talking to Mrs williams. sister to Colonel Tay- Tor, of Heeifoet Lake fame. than whom there ia no better family or better bIood jn the world" Hs described the
