STATES DAY IN
 TRIAL OF COL. COOPER
Testimony of Defense's Mysterious
 Witness Torn to Pieces.

Nashville, March 5.-This was the states day in the trial of Colonel D. B. and Robin Cooper and John Sharp for the murder of former United States Senator Carrnack. Not only did it tear to pieces what was left of the testi- 7nony of S. J. Binning, the defense's s mysterious witness, who said he saw the shooting, but it challenged the right of the Coopers to be on Seventh avenue at all on the day of Carmack' s death. It did this by impeaching the testimony of the governor and others, who asserted that the Coopers were in vited to the mansion and that while on their way there they met Carmack, and street duel followed.
 The attack on the case of the de- fense began early today, when two witnesses swore that Binning the nigEt of tFs Tragedy said to them: 'If I had becf1 five or ten minutes earlier l would rave seen the killing"
 When the day was over the state announced that it would have but two or three more witnesses to complete it's case in rebuttal tomorrow. The de- fense has not announced it's purpose yet, butsit is safe to say that the argu- "ments will begin next week. No time limit will be put on either side. There are a score of lawyers in the case, and the speeches doubtless will last sev- eral days.
 Soon after court adjourned the states attorneys went into conference. At 8 D. m. they emerged, and Attorney Gen. eraI McCarn held a warrant for the arrest of s. J. Binning on a charge of perjury The specific allegation is that when he testified that he saw Senator Carmack twirling the cylinder of his revolver, he swore to lie. The war rant was served at once.

Washington. March 5.-Crowds of visitors swarmed through the White House grounds all day, a constant stream pouring in and ont of the gates. straining to catch glimpses Of the new president or to see the Inside of the building. The north portico was filled many times during the day. The hew colored footmen at the north door came in for unreserved observation. but bore the scrutiny with butier-liIke dignity. No objection was made by the police officials to persons pee-ing in windows or gazing Into the Greaway running around the building, They appreciated that the strangers had come iong. dis tances to see the capitol and move on' orders were seldom brought into play.
 The capitol was taken by storm by the thousands of inaugural visitors who crowded it's historic corridors and halls from the opening untii the clos- ing hours. or .

 FOUND DEAD IN ST. LOUIS
In Gas Filled Room-coIIeae cIassmate
 of Young Jay Gould.

St. Louis. March 5.-Carios Es pinOsa Saldana Of Lima, Peru, was found dead here today in gas filled room follow ing the receipt of letters and tele- grams telling of the loss of his fathers fortune in, South America. Saldanal who wae 25 years old and lived at 4621 Washington boulevard, was formerly student at Columbia university, where the Peruvian government is said to have paid his tuition. At college he was a member of the Delta Kappa ED silon fraternity. He came to st. Louis several months ago as a draftsman for the Missouri Pacific railroad.
 New York, March 5.-Carlos Espinosa Saldana, the young Peruvian who kill ed himself in St. Louis today was 9 college mate of young Jay Gould at Columbia university and protege of the latter's father, George Gould.
 Speaking of the young mans death tonight at the Hotel Plaza, George Gould said:
 T received word today of MT. Sal danas death. He was a great friend of my son Jay at Columbia and I had him with us as a visitor in our home almost constantly during his college course He was 8 very lil1eable young man and I took a decided interest in him. When he left Columbia I ob tained for him an engineering position in the west, and my information was that he was getting along excellently..
 T know nothing of the reported loss of his fathers fortune. l think the young mans mind had become unbal anced, for I know of no other reason that would explain his suicide, if he did take his life. Saldana's people are very well connected in Lima and prom inent. I think his father is connected with the judiciary"

TRAFFIC OUT OF WASHINGTON

 kinds of Hardships.

New York March 5.-Train service botweR this city and Washington was still bfoly tied up today. Trains were few and far between. running general ly from five to six hours behind their schedule. Little parties Of those who went from this city to attend the in- auguration ceremonies struggled ln with all sorts Of stories of harishlps. Traffic out of Washington they re ported was seriously muddled and there was little hope of relief for % hours or more.
 Passengers on one particularly be- lated train told of making forty miles in ten hours. During the first three hours only seven miles were covered. each run of 100 yards or 90 being fol- lowed by a prolonged stop. There Yan no dining car on the train and sanJ- wiches commanded fabulous prices.
 The F'relinghuysen I.ancers of New ark. N. J., returned to that city shortly before nnon today. They preaohed Washington several hours after tho ceremonies, but as they have not failed to parade at every inauguration since 1888. they fell into line late last night and marched over the entire route ox the parade. winding up at the railroad station. where they boarded their tarin and started back to Newark.

ceedings in open court.
 The scene In court while the con- demned man pleaded his cause with all the legal mental agility and fervor of d trained lawyer was sensational. State Detective Jackson. who had brought the prisoner down from Sing Sing, sat beside him at the lawyers table and Patricks wife sat just behind him. Patrick declared that life imprison- me mt was a more severe sentence than death and asked the court either to give him his, liberty or to send him to the electric chair under the original sentence. He contended. however. that the governors action in committing hls sentence without his consent had the effect of a pardon, because no other legal power was vested in the state in the case of a man sentenced to death.
 Between Two Fires.
 Assistant District Attorney Taylor said in reply that Patrick should either accept the sentence of life irprison- ment. but, if he did not accept it, the only thing left to do would be to exc cute him.

New York. March 5.-Before the ap-. pellate division of the supreme court in Brooklyn today Albert T. Patrick, who was sentenced to death for the murder of William Marsh Rice in September, 1900, argued dramatically for nearly four hours for his liberty.
