WRITTEN
LAW EXTENDED
Cooper Counsel Makes 1t
Cover Men Attacked
by Editors.

Nashville, March 1O--The unwrit-
ten law was extended to cover edi-
tors who attack private or publts
men by General Meeks OF counsel
for the defense in the Cooper-Sharp
trial for the murder of former Unit
ed Stathes Senator Il. W. Carmaok.
The sensation was sprung during
General AIeeks speech to the jury
Previously he had expressly dis
claimed the belief that amy editorial
attack justified killing the writer.
Put when warmed up to his SUBJ
ject, with a burst of eloquence, he
said:
"You talk of the liberty of the
press. Why, gentlemen, no man
lives who believes more firmly in
the liberty of the press than do
but when man in an editorial
position turns the liberty of the
press into license and undertakes to
defame and defile you and YOU
family, what are you going to do?
The prosecution will tell you you
have recourse in the courts. Yes,
and you get judgment for $25.O0o
against a man not worth the price
of a plug of tobacco Is that sat-
isfaction?
oh, gentlemen, tell you that
the streets of this, our city, have
run red before with the blood of
men who improperly used other
mems names in public prints.
General Meeks devoted five hours
10 the speech He painted the de-
PENDANTS as The finest type of
Southern arlstoracy and breeding,
shot to death, and closed with
dramatic appeal to the jury to
'turn loose this gallant old soldier
Colonel Cooper"

with strings and straw, and they

birds to colonize and build one big
fat topped platform, two or three

put together as to shed the rain as

this roof they make individual peck

knowing that / would need every

self in small private consultation
room in the rear of my suit, where
