COOPER CASE AGAIN.
Motion for New Trial Ar
gueo---Defendants Claim
Many Errors in Judges
Charge.

Nashville, Tenn, April 21.-
Arguments for new trial i'm the
Cooper case began today before
Judge William H. Hart. The
defendants, Col. ID. b. Cooper
and his son, Robin ]. Cooper, who
who were found guilty cf the
murder of Former United States
Senator +. w. Carmack and were
gwen 20 years Imprisonment,
were in excellent spirits and held
an impromptu reception before
the sheriff opened court.
The defendants were represent.
ed by Judge Anderson, Gen.
Washington, A. g. Ewing, Jr.,
and Gen. Meeks. Attorney Gen
eral McCarn, Capt. Fitzhugh and
Gen. Garner appeared for tho
State.
Judge Anderson added a new
assignment In error to the 46 in
cluded in the motion-that the
court erred In refusing an in
struction on self.defense, request
ed by the defense.
Gen. Washington opened for
the defense. He argued at length
that Robin Cooper could not have
been guilty of murder as he had
not been in consultation with his
father, had not read the offending
editorials, had not even lived
with his father for years and went
along that day merely to protect
the parent. Washington then
announced the States attorneys
arguments.
He maintained that the Jury
should have been instructed that
if Robins intentions in crossing
the street were peaceful he had
right to defend himself when at
tackled and made the declaration
that even If Col. Cooper went
across the street to kill Carmack.
as the State contended he did,
there was no evidence to show
that Robin knew anything of
such purpose"
Gen. Washington was followed
by Attorney General Garner,
who spoke briefly for the State.
Judge Anderson then took up
the argument for the defense.
That the court, by its instructions,
practically commanded the jury
to convict Col. Cooper was the
contention of Judge Anderson.
The State will make brief ar
guments tomorrow and Judge
Hart viii then take the motion
under advisement.

RURAL MAIL BOXES And
ROADS.
Important Instructions Issued
by the National Postoffice
Department.

Postmaster Hunter mas re-
ceived the following letter from
the 4th assistant postmaster
general, which we commend to
the careful consideration of pa
irons of rural free delivery
routes, who will find it to their
interest to observe the regula-
tions therein contained:
In order to expedite the de-
livery, collection, and dispatch
of rural mail, enable rural car.
riers to cover their routes with
celerity, and give the earliest
possible service to patrons re-
siding on the far ends of routes,
the department will insist that
all rural mail boxes be so locat.
ed as to be served with the great
est expedition.
You are, therefore, directed to
require each rural carrier at
your office to submit to you
without delay, for transmission
to the department., the names OF
all patrons whose boxes can not
be served without leaving the
road, dismountiug, driving in
deep bitches or on steep inclines,
or on or across railway tracks in
volving danger, or the approach
es TO whose boxes are obstructed.
lt Is not required that boxes
shall be erected beside the wheel
tracks, nor on any particular
corner Of the crossroads but
they must be erected within the
confines OF the road, and acces-
sible, on any corner.
1t is not desirable that boxes
be attached to telegraph. tele-
phone, or electric-light poles, or
10 fences or buildings, but boxes
should be securely fastened to
neat and strong posts firmly set
at the side of the roads. al a suf-
tcient height 10 be served by
carriers without rising from their
seats or reaching through wheel
spoSes.
Alter boxes have been proper.
~ relocated, and it Is practical
Die to curtail carriers schedules,
postmasters will advise this office,
so that changes in schedules may
De considered
When roads are in bad condi-
tion, postmasters are directed to
make report thereof to the de-
partment, and to the proper local
road officials AMI cooperate
with them ahd patrons TO the
fullest extent, consistent with
position and duty, 60 secure the
improvement of the roads. The
manifestation of interest and
properly directed efforts by pest
masters in the good-roads ques-
tion will in many instances be
productive of excellent results.
