enforcing exercise This may be
brought about by chasing the pigs
about the pen with a switch when the

RENDERS VERDICT OF GUILTY
Decision Against the Two Coopers for
Killing Of Sen. Carmack---20 Years
In the Penitentiary the Penalty.

Nashville, Tenn, Special Guilty
Of murder in the second degree-pun-
ishment 20 years imprisonment-this
was the unexpected verdict rendered
by the ury against Col. Duncan B.
Cooper and Robin j. Cooper when the
court opened Saturday. The jury Fri
day acquitted John D. Sharp, indicted
with the Coopers for the staying of
former U. S. Senator Edward w. Car
mack.
Rush to Sign Bond.
Although Judge Hart fixed the bond
at $4,000 there was rush to sign
it on the part of wealthy citizens Of
Nashville which fairly swamped the
clerk of the criminal court.
The first to arrive was John J.
Greenernmsigned for $1,000 on
each b eral others had been
sent E ephoned that they
would uickly as automobiles
would b. I'm. In few moments
Walter 0. Farmer arrived and signed
for the balance. 81 will sign for a
million for these men," he remarked
In vain the clerk protested over and
over again that more than enough
sureties had signed but the invariable
answer was "We want to put oul
name son that bond too. It seemed
as though every friend Of the Coopers
!! considered it incumbent upon him K
sign the bond. When there was NJ
more room for names at the foot o1
the document the new bondsment en-
dorsed across the face until it wa.
difficult to decipher the signatures
When filed the bond totaled nearly
million and half.
The Jury's Verdict.
At 9:25 the IL men entered tn
room and took the same seats the,
had occupied for nearly weeks.
"Have you agreed upon a verdict
gentlement 2" said Judge Hart.
"We have" replied Foreman E
M. Burke hoarsely.

Verdict q Suralse.

The verdict, coming as it did upon
the heels of Foreman Burke's dec.
laration Friday that 1--WE are hope.
lessly tied up as to the Coopers, !" waa
a decided surprise. The defendants
took it colly-almost without emotion.
In q second after Judge Hart ceased
dismissing the jurors, Judge Ander-
son, of the defense, was on his feet
exclaiming: '!Your honor, we move
that the case be declared mistrial
because Of the verdict Friday we con.
tend that Fridays verdict was the
only one, and that it acquitted John
Sharp but declared disagreement on
the other defendants. We also ask
that the defendants be admitted to
bond at once.
A Bailable Case.
ttThe verdict of the jury makes It
bailable case,n was the court s re-
tort. Hence I will fix the bond Of
each defendant at $4,000 unless
there be some objection. In thai
event I will hear arguments. - "I'
i is satisfactory to u.s." said Attorney
General McCarn. tsAnd to us" re.
torted Judge Anderson. ttThert
seems nothing left but fer the resc''
| to pass sentence" " added Judge Hart
81 do not think that necessary
said Judge Anderson. We move thai
| judgment be suspended and that WI
be given a new trial. We will be pre-
pared to argue the motion later
probably next week"
"All right, judge" remarked th'
court. "1 know you will not della,
unnecessarily and I will take it up a
your own convenience.
j How the Jury Voted.
The jurors were not inclined to tall
but one Of them said:
con the first ballot we acquitte,
John Sharp and disregarded the con
spiracy theory. On this same ballo
we stood six for guilty of murder il
the first degree with mitigating Gil
cumstances, five for murder in th
second degree with 20 years, tn
maximum penalty and one for az
quitttal. The ballots all day Wednes
: day and Thursday showed the sam
result. Friday the man who vote
for acquittal came over to murder i
the second degree but demanded tha
only 10 years be assessed. The res
: of us did not deem ten years as any
1 thing like adequate, SO we disagree
| again. Of course, all this refers t
the Coopers, not Sharp, whom we ha
d acquitted. Early Saturday mornin
Il the man who was holding out for ]
9 years agreed to 20 years and the 81
: who were voting for first degrt
verdict agreed to this verdict
