NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 28.-
Judge Hart today refused to grant
the application of Dune and Robin
Cooper and John D. Sharpe for re-
lease on bond. These defendants are
charged with the murder of Senator
Carmack on Nov. 8 and on Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week the court
heard evidence on their application
for release from jail on bond Judge
Harris decision was very brief, but it
was to the point and he concluded by
directing that the three defendants be
remanded to jail, where they have
been, with the exception of young
Cooper, since the murder.
The decision of Judge Hart caused
little surprise even among the defen-
ders of the assassination. 1t was hard
for any person familiar with the facts
as published in the papers to believe
it possible to make a bailable case
out of this. The proof not only

DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF BAND
Trial Suspended Because of the H.
ness Arthur cloar, One of
Defendants.

UNION CITY, Tenn, Dec. 2S-The
sudden illness of Arthur Cloar, one OF
the defendants in the night rider
cases, caused suspension of the trial
this afternoon The State had com
pleted its testimony and has rested.
The defense had put two witnesses
on, Bud Morris and Sam Applewhite,
both defendants. Both men denied
any connection with the night riders
and gave circumstantial account of
their whereabouts on the night of the
murder of Capt. Rankin.
The defense laid the foundation for
complete alibi and proposes to put
all the defendants on the stand, one
by one, and corroborate their testi-
mony by members of their families.
When the defense reached the tes-
timony of Arthur Cloar, it was an
nounced that he was i'll and on the
testimony of physician court adj
journed until Tuesday morning. The
indisposition of the witness was pro-
nounced temporary and the defense
promised to be ready to resume in the
morning.
Walter Holt, fisherman from near
Samburg, told of It'd Burton receiving
a letter from the night riders telling
him to attend meeting that night or
they would hang him.. The night
riders paid Holt visit on the night
of May %, and he recognized Carrot
Johnson as the leader.
Will Rogers. from near Clayton, was
introduced to corroborate the story
told by Fehringer detailing the route
taken by him in assembling the band
for the Walnut Log raid. He passed
in the road going in the
direction of Fred Pinion's home about
5 o'clock in the afternoon before the
murder.
Fred Burton. of Martin, Tenn, was

State. He was at Walnut Log the

opinion that it is not bailable case,
