RENDERS VERDICT OF GUILTY.
Decision Against the Two Coopers for
Killing Of Sem. Carmack---2O Years
In the Penitentiary the Penalty.

] Nashville, Tenn, Special.-Guilty
Of murder in the second degree
ishment 20 years imprisonment-this
was the unexpected verdict rendered
by the ury against Col. Duncan B.
Cooper and Robin ]. Cooper when the
court opened Saturday. The jury Fri
day acquitted John D. Sharp, indicted
with the Coopers for the Staying of
former q. S. Senator Edward w. Car
mack.
Rush to Sign Bond.
Although Judge Hart fixed the bond
at $25,090 there was a rush to sign
it on the part of wealthy citizens of
Nashville which fairly swamped the
clerk ofathe criminal court.
The first to arrive was John j.
Greener, who signed for $1,000 on
each bond. Several others had been
sent for and telephoned that they
would come as quickly. as automobiles
would bring them. In a few moments,
Walter O. 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. cur
name on that bond too" 1t seemed
as though every friend of the Coopers
considered it incumbent upon him 10
sign the bond. When there was no
more room for names at the foot of
the document the new bondsment en-
dorsed across the face until it was
difficult to decipher the signatures.
When filed the bond totaled nearly a
million and half.
The Jury's Verdict.
AT 9:25 the IL men entered the
room and took the same seats they
had occupied for nearly weeks.
31Have you agreed upon verdict,
gentlement?" said Judge Hart.
"We have" replied Foreman z.
M. Burke hoarsely.
"Advance, Mr.. Foreman, and read
the verdict -
sfWe, the jury, find the defendants
Duncan B. Cooper and Robin J.
Cooper guilty of murder in the second
degree and assess their punishment at
confinement in the State penitentiary
for period of twenty years. -
$50 say you all, gentlement7"
So say we ALL" in chorus.
"I> thank you, gentlement," said
the court, for Your patience and de-
votiton to the State, and dismiss you
to your homes and to your personal
yoeations.
The Jurors we're tired-looking and
disheveled, but,with the conclusion
of this remark the entire 12 sprang
from their seats as one man and hur-
riedly left the court room.

Workhouse - probably seventy-fve
per cent.-would never have been

ment. In this connectionaone magis-
trate said:

twelve years. have committed,
chiefly at their own request, more de-
cent men this winter than / have sent
there before in any five years Of my
term as magistrate.
Distress Among Women.
Mary E. Dreier, president Of the
Women's Trade Union League, said:
This year the distress among
women workers has been greater than
ever before. It is pitiful. The say
ings of years have been exhausted,
and to this misfortune is added a
woman's constant dread ofssickness.
Others constantly fear being thrown
out of work, and this is too often the
case. Manufacturers do not now lay
| In large stock which will keep these
women busy. They fill ELDERS on
short notice. Tpey want ey girls at
once. The girls complete the order
I in two days, and are then dismissed.
This is true in all branches OF gar
ment trades. This high tension ts
making the women of New York ply
sical and nervous wrecks. It Is a
most deplorable condition of affairs"
Frank Julian Warne, whose efforts
for a bill now pending in Albany,
creating a commission to inquire into
! the causes and effects OF the unem-
ployed in New York State, and to sug-
gest remedies, are meeting with gen
eral appreciation from all organiza-
tions, said:
"Not wishing to be sensational, but
as truthful as possible In our limited
way Of getting accurate figures on
present industrial conditions, 1t is abb
solutely fair to say that more than
| O,00O men are looking for work in
New York City alone.
Crowded to the Roofs.
"Look at any city institution to-day
where the INDECENT get aid. They are
crowded to the roofs-the city can't
care for more The hospitals are
filled and so are the insane asylums.
Where will New York place her un-
fortunates in another year If the pres
ent ratio of unemployed keeps up?
It is terrible question to face.
when city's wardens turn out
27O0 prisoners before their terms
have expired to make room for incom-
Ing crowds. you may imagine what
demands are made on the ctty's 1nsti-
tutions."
Professor John Bates, Of Columbia
University, in suggesting a remedy
for the economic Ill, says:
"Loss of employment by large bod
les of men personally ft is due to
mal-adjustment, since there is never
a time when there Is not within the
limits of society to which these men
belong need of their labor and a
chance to dispose OF, its produce. The
trouble would now be relieved by a
migration from populous centres to
the country"
Percy Alden, M. F., in "The I'm
employed" says: There is a rapidly
growing feeling that the community
has a responsibility for the unem-
ployed and must discharge that re-
sponsibility, not by inficting pains
and penalties upon the genuine work

Verdict a suraalSse.

The verdict, coming as it did upon
the heels Of Foreman Burke's dec.
laration Friday that "we are hope.
lessly tied up as to the Coopers, was
decided surprise. The defendants
took it colly-almost without emotion.
In a second after Judge Hart ceased
disnrissing 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 q disagreement on
the other defendants. We also ask
that the defendants be admitted to
bond at once" !"
A Bailable Case.
"The verdict of the jury makes it
a bailable case," was the courts re-
tort. Hence T will fix the bond of
each defendant at $4,000 unless
there be some objection. In, that
event I will hear arguments" "It
is satisfactory to u.s." said Attorney
General McCarn. "And to u.s." re-
torted Judge Anderson. "There
seems nothing left but for the court
to pass sentence" added Judge Hart.
s'I do not think that necessary"
said Judge Anderson. We move that
judgment be suspended and that We
be given new trial. We will be pre-
pared to argue the motion later
probably next week"
"All right, judge" remarked the
court. "1 know you will not delay
unnecessarily and will take it up at
your own convenience.
How the Jury Voted.
The, jurors were not inclined to talk
but one of them said:
"On the first ballot we acquitted
John Sharp and disregarded the con-
spiracy theory. On this same ballot
we stood six for guilty of murder in
the first degree with mitigating cir
cumstances, five for murder in the
second degree with 20 years, the
maximum penalty and one for ac-
quitttal. The ballots all day Wednes-
day and Thursday showed the same
result. Friday ,the man who voted
for acquittal came over to murder in
the second degree but demanded that
only 10 wears be assessed. The rest
of us did not deem ten years as any,
thing Like adequate, so we disagreed
again. Of course, all this refers to
the Coopers, not Sharp, whom we had
acquitted. Early Saturday morning
the man who was holding out for 10
years agreed to 20 years and the six
who were voting for a first degree
verdict agreed to this yerdict.''
