T tried to. called senator Car mack and could not get him. Then I sent . nots to Mfr. F. D. Lander, of The Tennsssssau. and he came to my once. But first. l tried to get pr. Burch for Mrs. Burch. and when I could not tried to get Senator Car mack. When Lander came to my of- nce, I told him of the threats" Did Mrs. Burch tell you from whom che got her information of threatsT
 "Yes. sir; from her brother. Robin Cooper"
 pr. witherspoon was excused at once and F. D. Lander. editor and general manager of The Tennessean, was called.
 In reply to General McCarn's ques- tions, he said he was Mrs. Carmack's first cousin. He told of beeing Car meek leave the ofice the day of the tragedy and testified that the Senator was in a particularly pleased humor. Did you get any information from pr. witherspoon that day" T did"
 Did you convey 1t to Senator Car mack?"
 T did"
 Relate it." q told him that pr. witherspoon on the telephone and asked him to find pr. Burch. She told pr. Witherspoon | that her father. Colonel Cooper, was | armed. was very angry and was threat ening to kill Senator Carmack on l sight"
 "You told Senator carmack. this about Il a. m. the day of November | 9?o
 r T did"
 "The court instructs you. gentlemen" said Judge Hart, that. this testimony is admitted to show the mental condi- | ton of Senator Carmack and not the mental condition of Colonel Cooper" | "We-will recall MT. Lander for cross examination later." announced Judge Anderson.
 1 Mrs. Emma Blake. g. stenographer. with offices near Judge Bradfords. and | who was in Bradford's office the after noon of the tragedy. was recalled. Did Colonel Cooper leave MT. Brad ford's ofiice during that conference the | afternoon of Nov. g. and was he called back by Gen. Pulley Brown or any | one else?"
 "He was not called back. and he did | not return after he left it," This testimony immediately im- peaches Judge Bradford's. Colonel Cooper's. Robins, General Browns and | Governor Patterson's, that after Colo mel Cooper left Bradfords ofiice he was recalled to the telephone by Gen. eral Brown to talk to Governor Pat | terson.
 If the State convinces the jury that l the Governor did not invite the Coop CTS, then the defense Is put in the po- sition of laying in wait for Senator Carmack.
 Mrs. Blake, on cross-examdnation, said she entered Bradford's once about | ten minutes before the conference broke up and remained there until 1t was over.
 Miss Daisy Lee, former stenographer for Judge Bradford, was then recalled. The jury was excused on the defense's motion and General McCarn said: Where are you employed nowT | T am not employed now. 1 was Judge Bradford's stenographer until Feb. 1S."
 When did you testify hsrea" | "on Feb. H."
 "Did you hear Paul Davis. in MT Bradford's office, while the jury was being chosen. say he would swear to a lie to get on the jury?" l T did,"
 Did you hear Judge Bradford say that he could have killed Senator Carr mack ike a snake?" | Not exactly. He said: I could have shot Senator Carmack myseh with as little remorse as l would shoot a rattiesnake.'"
 "Did Judge Bradford. in discussing the case, say anything about Robins future because of the shooting?"
 "He did. expressed regret at the tragedy and said I feared 1t would ruin Robins career. Judge Bradford replied:
 Won't Hurt Robin.
 "It will not hurt Robin a bit 1 will see to that. I will take him on my arm and carry him through life.' !"
 How long were you Judge Brad ford's stenographer
 Fox six vears-fve and half"
 "whal salary did you receive at the lastT"
 T received sS5 a month"
 Did you see Colonel Cooper leave the ofiice of Judge Bradford that af- ternoon and come back to answer the telephone at the request of General Brown. or anyone else?" "No, sir. But Colonel Cooper used the telephone before he left. Judge Bradford told him he had better call the Governor. I heard the Colonel call 1 the Capitol number. but did not lis ten to what he said"
 Miss Lee impeached Paul Davfs's tes- timony as to Bradford answering the telephone as often as Miss Lee did.
 The defense fought hard to keep Miss Lees testimony out.
 The arguments lasted nearly one hour. Judge Hart then decided that Miss Lee could repeat her entire tes- timony before the jury. except that portion which refers to Judge Bradford telling the Colonel to call up the Gov | ernor.
 The jury was brought in and Miss Lee was asked the questions put to her in their absence and she answered them as she had in the presence of the court.
 The young woman was cross- exam ined by General Washington. She was calm and self f-possessed and her entire 1 demeanor was much unlike her appear ance the first time.
 After she had left Bradford's office and the defense attempted to impeach her, she became more willing to give her story.
 The court instructed the jury that Miss Lees testimony was to be consid- cred solely as impeaching the wit nesses whose names were mentioned hy the witness.
 Miss Lizzie Fork. who ran out when the shots were fired and took Mrs. Eastman into her apartments in the Polk flats. swore that Mrs. Eastman did not talk to W. S, Morgan at all.
 Morgan swore that Mrs. Eastman talked to him about the tragedy. but that she did not tell him that Colonel Cooper had shouted to Senator Car mack that we've got the drop on you now"
 The cross-examination by General | Washington was brief and fruitless, and a decided sensation followed when Attorney General McCarn recalled Mrs. Eastman. This beautiful old lady, rtrN
