never saw an automatic revolver be-
 ..Did Colonel Cooper ssy anything about his own revolverrs
 He did not"
 "Did you search either of the pris- oners?
 On cross-examination, the oficer said that Lieutenant Pitcher. U., 6 A, was standing not far from Carmack's body when Vaughan arrived. The lieutenant handed him revolver and said: Here is a gun I found near Senator Car mack's body" The lpatroiman said 1t was 6 ss-caiibre gun. Pitcher ''broke' the gun and showed three loaded and two empty shells. Then Pitcher told the officer where the Coopers were and that one of them had been wounded.
 The witness said the automatic re- volver was not new. but had the ap- pearance of wear. This point was made probably to show that Robin Cooper did not buy the gun for the purpose of killing Carmaclx.
 Juror Bierman arose and asked the witness: How many shells does an au- tomatic revolver holdT'
 "Nine--eight In the clip. or maga- zine, and one in the chamber"
 On redirect examination the officer said he picked up an empty shell near the scene of the shooting. Where he picked it up was several feet behind where Senator carmack stood when the firing began. This would sustain the States contention that Robin Cooper shot from behind Carmack. The effect of the testimony was weakened, however, by the witness's admission that he picked up the shell half an hour after the shooting and after great crowds had surged over the vicinity The other two shells and the bullet that came out of tho Senator's mouth were nevea recovered.
 Arrival at Infirmmry.
