JURY has CARMACK CASE

The Attorney General Concludes His
Speech Begun Saturday and Judge
Hart Orders a Recess to Prepare
his Charge-The Judges Charge,
It is Believed, Will Be Short and
the Case Will Probably Go to the
Jury Late Tuesday.
Nashville, Tenn, Specialize
general belief that the Ease would
go to the jury Monday caused the
largest crowd yet assembled to try to
get into the court house for the final
scenes of the trial Of Col. Duncan b.
Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D.
Sharp for the murder of United
States Senator Edward W. Carmack.
But there was another delay. After
Attorney General McCarn had closed
for the State Judge Hart announced
that he had not completed the charge
but hoped to have it ready some time
Tuesday.
General McCarn spoke only a little
over an hour but closed with a burst
of eloquence, a farewell invocation
to Carmack, Statesman, patriot,
diplomat, Christian, gentleman and
friend"
General McCarn's argument is con-
sidered to be a remarkably able and
strong one. This is his first big case,
almost the first case he has actuall{
tried since he took the oath of Of
fee last September and his friends
were out in force to Sc how he ac-
quilted himself.
Mrs. Carmack was in court again
heavily yelled as usual. When Gen
eral Mccain reached his perOraEon
she leaned over and rested her head
upon her sisters shoulder.

his career was marked by haltIng and
irresolution- His actions were more
in keeping with the gyrations or a
pack of school children than that OF
more matured intelligence for which
we had so iondly hoped The poor
fellow seemed to have been born un-
der an unlucky star-having had poor
health from the beginning, and his
"oycrtimely" demise was looked Tor
ward TO with mingled pleasure and re-
gretS-with regrets because he at
once showed that he was unable 10
cope with anything OF great import
ance, with pleasure because the aw-
ful and trying ordeal is over.
He was early attacked with such
a severe case Of prohibitionitis that
his vitality became 80 impaired that
he was easily led into many by and
questionable paths Then we see him
suffering from severe attack OF "Des
Molnes plan hallucinationibus which
seemed to still moro unnerve him.
Next we find him In the throes OF
fire and policemanic commission

more debilitated and deplorable con-
dition

Many salutary measures were pre-

they had been enacted into law, would
have been OF lasting benefit to all our
people-but 1t seems that It was not
to be.
But II is as we have oil along con-
tended. Our legislatures are too Of
ten largely made up OF men who arc
, either incompetent, or OF those who
seek those honors from mercenary
motives. And what good can we ex-

Ono remedy for this evil IS TO place
the salaries of our Legislators at a
figure commensurate with the services
required. and then men OF more Ster-
Ing character and ability Will aspire
10 those positions
Our legislatures should he made up
of men of acknowledged business abll-
