STILL SHY ONE JUROR.
Only Eleven Men Selected in Cooper
Case in Nashville.


Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 13.-With
scarcely handful of the 419 We
niremen summoned to be there when
court opened yesterday morning on
the twenty-third day OF the trial of
Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper and
John Sharpe, for Staying Senator
Carmack, the outlook for securing
the twelfth juror was not partlcu-
1arIy bright. The state has three pre-
emptory challenges left, but the de-
tense has thirty-nine. OF the last
venire of 500, only seven men quail
flied and six of these were challen-
ged. Should the same ratio OF quail
flied jurors hold good in the other
venires and should both sides eXer-
else the full challenge rights, with
the jury wheel empty, one can read
ily see how slim are the chances OF
completing a jury soon.
The state cannot ask change OF
venue. 1t cannot try man unless
it can get a Jury. If it cannot try
him, he goes free.

MURDER MYSTERY
Of MICHIGAN
MINISTER
Partially Burned Body Found
In Church Stoves
PERPETRATOR LEFT NO CLUE
Interior of Building Showed That Rev
John J. Carmichael Had Made
Brave Fight for Life

Detroit, Jan. THE dismembered
body of ]. H. Carmichael, a Meth
odist minister, was found yesterday
partially consumed by fire in the two
heating stoves of one of his three
churches near Columbus, in the south
western part of St Clair county.
Identification of the dead clergy
man was made by Orville Lindsay,
who was sent to the church by Mrs.
Carmichael, who had been in great
distress since her husband failed to
return home as expected last even
! ing.
Clues of the murderer and his mo-
| tive were difficult to obtain. The fact
that several coins were found in the
clothing of the dead man and in the
ashes in the stoves precluded the
theory of robbery
Rev. Mr.. Carmichael had been in
Michigan about ten years and for two
years had been pastor of the three
| churches at Columbus, Adair and
China. With his wife and three chill
! dren, he resided at Adair Leaving
home Tuesday morning he told Mrs.
| Carmichael that he was going to
Columbus to arrange for a series of
revival meetings there. He waved his
hand to group OF children as he
drove out of the village of Adair and
from that moment all trace of him is
lost.
MyrOn Brown, who lives near the
scene of the tragedy, was the first to
discover the crime. While wait
ing at the cross roads to keep an
appointment the cold wind drove him
10 seek shelter in the church. He was
surprised to find the church doors un
locked and was terrified to see the
church floor, the pews and even the
communion table daubed with blood
and fragments of bloody clothing
scattered all around. Evidently the
clergyman. who was So years old and
of athletic build, had made terrific
struggle for his life.
The authorities on their arrival al
the church found parts of the dis
membered body in the two stoves, RI
spectively at the front and rear, anC
discovered in one stove the head o
what was apparently new Ratchet
the handle of which had been burned
Off A dirk was also found in the
church, and it is believed that the
dirk served for the murder while th'
Ratchet was used to cut the body t
pieces.
The minister's horse was found yes
terday tied to tree in the village o
Pine River, his overcoat being dis
covered in the buggy. Pine River is
small village near Thornton on tn
main line of the Grand Trunk rail
road, and fully twenty miles from tn
scene of the murder
