LOOKS LIKE DISAGREEMENT,
SECOND DAY OF SUSPENSE.
Jury in the Case Of Cooper and Sharp
Still Out.

Nashville, Tenn, March 1S.-Another
day passed and no intimation of an
agreement came from the room In
which twelve me1 are trying to decide
the fate of Col. D B. and Robin
Cooper and John d. Sharp for the al
legged murder OF former United States
Senator E w. C3rmack. This was the
second day Of suspense and the feeling
is growing that there will be a dis
agreement Counsel on both sides,
however, as well as the court, hold
that there will be a verdict.
The jurors went to supper at 6
o'clock this evening, ate in silence and
hurried back 10 the big room to re-
Brme their deliberations. Each time
they leave the room they lock the door
and one of their number carries the
key.
Judge Hart remained at the court
house until noon. He then left and
communicated with Sheriff Borum by
telephone twice during the afternoon,
once at Pas and again at SIG. Upon
the latter occasion ne hold the sheriff
that even If the jury reached a de-
clsioH no would not receive it before
Q 2. m. tomorrow.
Immediately after supper the Jurors
deliberated for a while, but at p. m.
they dropped the dicussion, called in
che deputies and began to amuse them
selves. There are various rumors afioat
tonight as to an agreement.
One is that Sharp has been acquitted
and the Coopers convicted; another
that all have been acquitted, but none
eeems based on any foundation Of
fact.
