ing in Palermo, Italy, Of Detective
Petrosino, who was there securing

cause of a police conference this
morning. His death proves the the
DRY of the police here, that outrages
in America are directed from a cen

ELF-DEFENSE IS
PRINCIPAL PLEA
OF THE COOPERS

Nashville, March 13.-Attorney
John McFerrn Anderson, for the de-
Tense. continued his argument today.
He made a self-defense plea. He
went into the law, regarding self
defense.
Anderson concluded his argument
and McCarn began the closing speech
for the state, deciding not to ask an
adjournment until Monday. He de-
clared the effort of the defense to in
ject politics into the trial was an eff
fort to cloud the real issue.
"If Carmack was killed for writing
an editorial" McCarn said, (which
another man in a published card said
he didn't write. then he was killed
for another mans SIM" McCarn fol-
lowed the lead of the other lawyers
in attacking the opposing counsel.
They claim Colonel Cooper never
shot Carmack," he said, "but they
don't explain why he declared in the
infirmary. where his sons wounds
we're being dressed, Don't let them
in. I don't want to shoot another
man.

a man who would drag his son into
crime and then declare the son fired
because the father was in danger.
This was a cowardly assassination
Carmack did not have a chance for
his life."
Mrs Carmack came into the court
room while McCarn was talking and
took seat where the jury could see
her.
Judge Anderson boldly plunged
into dissection OF evidence and an
application of law. and startled his
hearers by solemnly asserting that
Robin would have been justified in
killing Carmack before he did. He
claimed that Colonel Cooper, after
having been assailed in print ami
upon the platform, had a right to
seek out his defamer any place he
might find him and demand that
these assaults stop. He ciainied fur

demands would lead to an assault
