The Charlotte Observer Reviews the
Carmack-C0oper Case With
Concise Equity.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Amidst all the lying that has been
done on both sides in the trial of the
Coopers and Sharp for the murder of
Carmack, a few vital truths stand CIT
unshaken. A blue steel revolver, two
chambers discharged, was found by
Carmack's body and Major Vertre IS
Swore that lie had lent Carmack Il blue
steel revolver. Several witnesses have
sworn that there were first two shots,
then three in rapid succession, of dIf-
ferent sound. A physician who tested
an automatic revolver, the one that
Robin Cooper used or one like it, the
other a blue steel revolver such as
Carmack used, testified to the differ
ence in the reports as it has been tes-
titled to by witnesses Of the tragedy
Robin Cooper was wounded in tie
shoulder by one shot and another
passed through the sleeve Of his coat.
The physician who made the autopsy
on Carmack's body testified that any
one of the three shots he received
would have proved fatal and that if
he had not fired first he would not
have fired at all. This physician is
corroborated by another.
Clearly this was not a murder, but
a street duel which both parties ex-
pected and for which both parties
were prepared and in which the slain
man got in the first work.
Our original views about this case
underwent great modification in the
light of the facts thrown upon it even
before the trial began and have under
gone still greater since the trial has
been in progress. Carmack, smart
ing under defeat for reelection to the
Senate, and his bitterness increased
by his defeat for the nomination for
Governor, employed the columns Of a
newspaper Of which he was editor to
take vengeance upon those chiefly re-
sponsible for his undoing, and espe-
cially upon Colonel Cooper, who if not
Governor Patterson's manager in the
gubernatoris1 primary campaign was
certainly one of his most active and
influential supporters. Endowed with
a tongue and pen which dripped Wit

Cooper day after day, visiting upon
him his wealth Of ridicu1e, sarcasm
and invective, harassing and humil-

sent messages to Carmack reminding
him that he (Cooper) was a private
citizen and asking, demanding, that
the war upon him cease. It was per-
sisted IN aid the sequel is familiar
history.
Properly the freedom of the press
is guaranteed by the constitution OF
the United States, but there is free
dom and there is license. 1t was
never intended that an embittered in

newspaper TO vent his personal venom
upon one whom he hates, and for
over leaping all bounds of legitimate
