Daily Herald Stan Correspondence.
Criminal Court Room, Nashville
Tenn, Feb. Ex-Governor Malcolm r
Patterson was the star witness in the
Cooper-Sharp case today. 1t was not
so much the character of the evidence
which the witness gave as the high
Office which he holds that added in
terest to the occasion.
Governor Patterson wore his usual
long black Prince Albert coat, fancy
vest and checked English trousers.
He had on a green four-in-hand tie
with a clover leaf pin in it. He held
his overcoat and stiff hat in his hand
while on the stand.
Governor Patterson seemed to be in
an unusually agreeable state of mind
After the jury had retired Judge Hart
asked him how he felt To this the
Governor replied L am tired" Judge
Hart then said, $50 Am l." Then the
governor in few minutes remarked
Il expect Judge, you have as much
trouble with this case as l have with
the Legislature. My troubles accum-
ulate all the time"
Governor Patterson's evidence was
objected to by the state and the jury
retired while the question was argued
While the jury was out the Governor
told the court of his efforts as peace
maker, his statements corroborating
those of the two Coopers. He also
said Bradford urgd peace. The Cover
nor said he had not seen Col Cooper
from noon the day of the tragedy until
this hour. He said that he frequently
conferred with Col. Cooper on official
and political matters. He denied
Cooper had anything to do with his
and Cox coming together. He said he
had always had personal relations
with Cox.
1t was evident from questions asked |
by the defense that it is defendants
theory that the two first shots were
fired by Senator Carmack and that
the next three come from the pistol of
Robin Cooper. Three witnesses tes-
titled to the first two shots being
louder and more distinct with an in
terval between them and the last
three. This would sustain the de-
fense's contention that Carmack shot
Robin Cooper twice and then young
Cooper shot the Senator three times.
One of the witnesses, however, said
that there was no appreciate interval
between the first two and last three
shots.
Roscoe Matthews corroborated de- {
'endant Sharp as to his meeting with {
he other defendants as they went to l
he scene of the killing. a
Decision has been reserved as to t
he admission of evidence as to the i
mental attitude and demeanor Of Sen. G
tor Carmack just before the killing. v
This Is most vital point for the state, n
tut the court has indicated that un. t
ess his mind changed upon the pre- )
entation of further authorities he will Il
xclude all evidence of this character. h
The court decided that practically
II OF Patterson's testimony should go
0 the jury. So

YOUNG GIRL TAKES OWN LIFE
SAD DEATH AT OMAHA OF MISS
HAZEL HUNT FRIDAY.
Foster Mother Lives Here Young
Girl Had Been Sent to Homo
of the Good Shepherd.

Word reached this city the FIRST
of the week of the death of Hazel
Hunt, who was the adopted
daughter OF Mrs. II. |. Hunt of
this city.
Some time ago Mrs. Hunt was
forced to take Hazel to the Home
of the Good Shepnerd at Omaha,
on account of the persistent little
troubles she would get into, and
thought all the time that she was
still there, being very much sur
prised upon hearing of the sad
affair, to find that she had been
sent out to work as domestic.
Hazel'S father was killed in
cyclone and her mother drifted
away. then Mrs Hunt gave her
good home. Taken away from
the home where she had lived for
twelve years, and missing the
loving care of the woman who
had been a mother to her, the
young girl fell a victim to home
sickness and suicide was the re-
suit.
When the sad affair happened
she was living with the family of
Linn Goodin i'll Benson, a suburb
of Omaha. The family had gone
to the city and upon returning
found the girl almost dead.

Annual School Meeting.

The annual school meeting will
be held Monday evening, June 28.
All directors are urged to be sure
that they enumerate every child
of school age in their respective
districts.
The number Of children report
ed to the county superintendent
has been growing less each year
Whether this is because all child
rem are not numerated or because
it is a. fact that there are really
fewer children of school age in
the county, it is difficult To de
termine. The population is
increasing in the county, and the
school population ought to grow
III proportion.

Little Ones Entertained.

Wednesday afternoon Miss
Spencer, the librarian, enter
tanned something like thirty
little people at the library in a
very unique way. 1t was called
"story hour" While little ones
listened with alert ears, some
with wide. open mouths, Miss
Spencer told them the stories
about the "School for Donkeys'
and the Burning of the Rice
Fields.' They all enjoyed the
stories, and the skill with which
they were told is evidenced by
the fact that one little boy
could not wait until the end of
the "rice field" story, but eager
ly called out: "What did they
do it for?

lin Murphy Poisoned.

1t is hard to believe that Falls
City holds a human hound capa-
bic of taking the life of such a
dog as Tim Murphy, the beautl-
full cocker spaniel owned by DR..
and Mrs. Wilson.
Nevertheless such'a fiend lives
here, and on Wednesday evening
he accomplished ais inhnman
purpose by giving Tim a dose OF
poison from which he died during
the night.
1t is to be hoped that this fel-
low will be caught-and if he is,
we'll, if he doesn't get what is
coming to him we will have to
IN axe another guess.

DOES TT PAY?
Sears, RoebYck & Co. Make Ad-
vertising Pay-Why?

On Monday morning the rural
route carriers were loaded down
with Sears, Roebuck & Co. s cata~
logues. We wonder whether the
merchant who contends that "ad-
vertising doesn't pay thinks
this firm can afford TO scatter
promiseuously books that cost
them, when printed by the thous
ands, more than 80 cents each.
Their advertising pays them, or
they would "cut it out. y They
are making advertising pay right
here in the territory that belongs
to the home merchant-if he goes
after it.
To quote another, advertis~
ing which has not the confidence
of the public can not be made to
pay" If the. home merchant
cannot make his advertising pay,
it S because he has not gained the
confidence of the public.
