STATE WILL OFFER ARGUMENT
CALCULATED TO PROVE
THIS THEORY.
CARMACK is DENOUNCED
In TWO Ho@ra Speech by Washington
Fer Defense, Which Was Not Com
pleted When Court Ad-
journed Yesterday.

Nashville. Tenn, March 10.-Two
| things stand out in today's develop
ments in the CooporSharp trial One
is the theory Of the state IS to the
wounding of Robin Cooper. The 9th
er is the defense's defense.
The state announced through A..
tomey General Garner that it would
contend that Colonel Cooper fired
he shot which wounded his son. AMI
that Carmack. if he fired at all, fred
wildly. Garner first declared that It
would be a physical impossibillty for
Carmack to have shot Robin Cooper
as the Coopers swear he did.
Next he declared that the reason.
able solution of the problem was that
Colonel Cooper opened fire on Car
mack, as Mrs. Eastman believes he
did, and that the bullet from his ps,
tol struck a telephone post, was de-
lectod and entered Robins shoulder
He contended that this THEORY is cor
roborated by the course of the bullet.
which penetrated the flesh only an
inch and a half and failed to strike a
bone.
A thirty-eight calibre bullet fred
point blank al a range of three or four
feet, Gardner contends, would have
gone deeper in the flesh than an
inch and a half
1t became evident from the argu-
ment of General Washington, of the
defense, who followed Garner. that
he defense proposes to rely vtry
very strongly upon the plea of justi-
licatlon as well as upon the plea of
self defense.
Meeks paved the way for ii In his
argument yesterday, when he came
out boldly in favor Of the application
of the unwrltten law to editors. and
declared that the murder of Carmack
by the Cooper's was not the first
time a Nashville editor had been
slain for criticisng some one.
Washington did not take such a de.
cided stand, but he devoted the en-
tire two hours of his argument this
afternoon to denunciation of Car.
mack He had not finished his argu-
ment when court adjourned.

STOCKS y BONDS.
Market Was Marked by n Quiesccnce
of the Usually Active stocks OF the
Great Generations.

New York, Dee. 1.-THE stock mar
ket was marked by the Quiescence Of
the usually active stocks of the great
corporations and the wide movements
in shares of minor companies. A trans
action in United States Steel was a
comparative rarity and the swing of
its price movement during the day
very narrow. Meantime, there were
heavy dealings in Western Maryland
certificates, Utah Copper. National
Enaneling and other stocks. some OF
them seldom heard Of in the dealings.
The action Of the market was but
little responsive to news developments.
The approach of the year end none
requirements had some restraining eff
feet on speculation.
The verdict in the New York court
against the legality of the American
Ice Company increased the attention
given to the subject of antitrust legis-
latlOn. It's impression was not ma
terially modified by the assertion that
the presidential recommendations on
the subject would be deferred until
after the Supreme Court decisions on
the appeal Of the American Tobacco
