COOPER GRILLED
BY THE PROSECUTION

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 25.-After
the noon recess Wednesday Judge Ander-
son resumed his argument against the
introduction of any records tending to
show that Colonel Cooper had been guilty
Of embezzlement. He declared that even
indictments for embezzlement against
Colonel Cooper, If they existed, would
not be admissible.
For nearly an hour Judge Anderson
cited cases and decisions IN support of
his contention. Captain F1tzhugh re-
piled.
Finally Judge Hart broke in with the
decision that the defendant might be
asked II he ever was clerk and master in
chancery; II he ever defaulted in certain
cases.
IF he says he does not remember" the
court added, the state may refresh his
memory. II he says No. then that set
ties IT,"
Embezzlement Question Allowed
And may we ask him II he did not
embeEzle 100000 while in offlce?" inquired
Fitzhugh.
Yes, think you may"
But your honor will not permit them
TO ask him II his brothers ever admitted
that he was short in his accounts?" said
Judge Anderson.
