Talks of Colonel Cooper.

Among the most interested men in the
city in the trial of the Coopers and Sharp
at Nashville for the killing of former
Senator Carmack is Dr. G. w. William
son, who comes from the county of the
Coopers in Tennessee. He says that
he knew the Coopers all his life and he
never heard of any defalcation of the
elder until the trial at Nashville brought
up charges to that effect He feels
kindly to the family and to the two men,
bers In such serious trouble.
DR.. Williamson says that the Coopers
were ever known as men of peace and
quietude. He and Robin we're In school
together and became great friends. He
frankly wishes them well. He does not
believe that there is anything in the de-
falcation charges of the old man, and
looks to see this part of the story cleared
up in good time. The doctor reads every
scrap of the testimony before the court
and talks much abOut II

old ruts, the great trucks Numbered all
day long and on decrepit track one

endurance in unaccustomed cars, was
the roaring OF that dreadful place; the
changing din OF traffic mixed with the
yelling Of push-cart peddlers and the
babel OF the vast throngs that over
flowed the sidewalks, made up torrent
Of maddening sound whereat the nerves
quiyered in lost protest. From the de-
mon Of that uproar was no escape; in
any room along the thoroughfare the
tumult resounded; even into the fear
full rear rooms that were shut in and
walled around against air and light and
health came this hubbub; all day and
all the hours OF 1t, roaring streets and
pounding trucks and jolting cars and
screaming children and yelling men. And
in that nightmare OF dirt and noise and
foul odors, with scsnty food and scanty
light and scanty air, without one glimpse
of beauty or comfort, on the bare rock
Of grim existence, absorbed in savage
and primitive fight for bread, these Of

CURRENT COMMENT
The IIIiterate Jury.

After twenty-nv days Of weary Of
fort. during which yenlres carrying 3,
010 names were drawn, the attorneys
in thd prosecution Of Col. Duncan y
Cooper, his son, Robin j. Cooper, and
John d. Sharpe for the murder OF ex
United States Senator r. w. Carmack
have at last succeeded In securing a
jury that would seem TO be about al
/ Ignorant a set Of mqn as any one could
be tried by. Four Of the jurors, II is
stated, are unable TO read or write
two more understand English only in
differently, while every one OF them
swora that he had not read news
paper since the killing, and some had
not read one for decade. Not that
the attorneys are to be criticized for
this result. II the laws OF the state
make all persons incompetent who had
talked with a witness or with anyone
who had talked with witness, and
= newspaper that prints verbatim tes-
timony is TO be regarded as having talk
cd with witness, clearly iuries are not
often TO be found among the literate
or those interested in matters Of any
public concern.
The incident Is Of interest because
il affords an exaggerated illustration
Of one of our too little recognized jury
evils--tho premium that Is placed upon
ignorance and stupidity. The situation
in Tennessee is somewhat better than
that in Kentucky in 1924, though as
suredly IL Is bad enough In 1924 an
Indictment for murder against son of
the governor Of Kentucky was found.
All over the state Ii was talked of, so
that term after term il became impos.
sible 10 make up a jury, the attorneys
for the defence claiming. and the iud-
ges agreeing, that the veniro men ex-
amined had from what they had read
or heard formed an opinion sufficient
~ strong H. Justify their exclusion.
The legislature was appealed to. II
passed a law providing that an opin-
ion formed from rrmOr only should not
constitute a ground for challenge, and
then, three years after the Indictment
had been found, the case was taken
up for the ninth time. The result was
the same The defendants father then
stepped in and pardoned him on the
ground that he had mo doubt Of his
being innocent OF the foul charges,
and that "the prospect of obtaining
a jury is entirely hopeless"
But If conditions in Tennessee are
better than this, they are not 10 very
much better. There Is not much diff
ference between ydisqualifying one man
because he has formed some idea OF q
ease from general rumor and disqual.
flying another because he has read tho
newspapers. The Tennessee hypothesis
seems TO be that justice resides not in
the mind that is awake and receptive,
but in the mind that is undeyeloped
ind asleep.--New York Globe.
