Mr.. Bradford Again.

Mr.. Bradford Again.
j. G. Bradford. one Of the attorneys
for the defense, was cross-examined
by Gen. McCarn. he was asked if be
had not, in conversation at the
Utopia, asked John J. YerTess to take
the letter to Senator Carmack, and If
Mr.. veruess had not refused. He
was also asked about a conversation
which he had with Mr. Yertress about
two weeks ago, in which he diseoy-
cred that Mr.. Veruess' recollection Of
the conversation differed from his
own
Mr. Bradford claimed that he had
asked Mr. Yeruess, friend Of Sen
ator Carmack's to go and see the sen
ator and arrange matters, and denied
asking him to take the letter. He
pointed out that the letter was not
signed, but was forced to admit that
he thought Col Cooper was At the
Maxwell Huse Gas he was), and that
the Utopia is just across the street
from that hotel.
In response to questions, he further
stated that he didn't know whether
or not Col Cooper wished to sign the
note, and was asked why, If he didn't
know whether Col Cooper wished to
sign the note, he had gotten it from
him. He stated that he had don so
to prevent him from sending the note,
but was unable to offer any expiana-
ton of why he should desire to send
il without signing. In fact, his ex-
PLANTATION Of his conduct in various
respects was not exactly satisfying.
Late Thursday afternoon Mr.. Vertress
himself was put on the stand, and he
testified that while they were lunching
at the Utopia the situation was dis
cussed. and stated that as he remem-
bered the conversation. Mr.. Bradford
had read the note to him and had GER
tainly requested him TO take the note,
and he had declined. because he didn't
wish TO be involved in the affair, and
because Senator Carmack had opinions
OF his own in regard to the matter

the statement Of John J. Yertress, q
leader of the Tennessee bar Thursday
AFTERNOON. He testified that il was
certainly his remembrance Of a con
versation held with Mr. Bradford at
the Utopia 1T j O'Clock on the day that
Senator Carmaek was murdered that
Mr.. Bradford had asked him to take
Col. Cooper's note to Senator Car
mack. and that ne had refused to do
So Mr.. Yerress did not state posi-
lively tuat such was the case, but he
did state very positively that that was
his recollection of the conversation.
Mr.. Bradford was the peaeemaker,
the man who had taken possession Of
the note and urged Col. Cooper not
TO send it: the man who was to take
steps to relieve the situation He was
one OF the main witnesses as to the
peaeeabie intentions and the pacific
frame Of mind of Col Cooper on that
afternoon. and yet witness testified
that at O'Clock the peaeemaker was
asking him to deliver the ultimatum to
Senator Carmack.

again Counsel for the state hao not
expected the court to rule against
them on this point and for while
they seemed to be stunned. They had
hoped to show by these witnesses,
both of high character, that il was a
physical impossibility for Mr.. Car
mack to have stood at the point stated
by the defendants and fired at them
and they were must crest fallen at the

A few moments later the state re-
ceived another stunning blow when
the court refused TO admit proof of
the condition Of the atmosphere and
weather on the afternoon Of the kill
ing. This proof was offered 70 show
that Defendant SHARP could not have
seen the tragedy from where be said
he stood. The defense objected and
the court promptly sustained the OBJ

YORK JURY DISCHARGED.
Failure to Convict Where Charge
was Not Denied Cause of Release.

Yorkville, July 14.-Judge Mem.
minger this morning dumfounded a
panel of petit jurors by dismissing
them on the ground that they were
unfit for service in his. court. The
case was one in which the usual
count of carrying concealed weapons
was tackled on to an indictment for
assault and battery with intent to
kin. The testimony showed quite a
serious fight in which two Russells
shot two Robinsons, the bullets be-
ing fired from the rear. There was
good deal of conflict in the testi-
mony as to the merits of the fight,
but no dispute as to the fact that
both of the Russells had pistols. The
jury acquitted the Russells on all
counts.
That was last night When court
convened this morning Judge Men,
minger had the clerk to call the panel
and said to 1t in effect that If a jury
saw proper to accept plea of self
defense from IN who had shot an
other in the back it was not within
his province to set the verdict aside,
but where men were unable or un-
willing to be guided by the plain law
and evidence in a case of carrying
concealed weapons in the face Of the
fact that there had been no attempt
to deny the charge he was unwilling
to go on trying cases with such iu-
rOrs. He therefore instructed the
members Of the panel to apply to the
clerk for their pay and consider
themselves discharged from further
attendance. Then turning to the
clerk his honor instructed the draw
ing OF additional jurors to fill out the
Venirc.
