the other defendants. We also ask
that the defendants be admitted to

A Bailable Case.
"The verdict of the jury makes it
bailable case" was the courts re-
tort. Hence I will fix the bond Of
each defendant at $4,000 unless
there be some objection. In that
event 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.
II 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. 81 know you will not DELAY
unnecessarily and I 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 S.arp 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 90 years. the
maximum penalty and one for ac-
qmtttal. 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 years 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 verdict.n

Rush to Sign Bond.
Although Judge Hart fixed the bond
at $25,000 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 =
Greener, who signed for $1,000 on
each bond. Several others had been
sent for and telephoned that they
would come as quickly rs automobiles
would bring them. In few moments
Walter 0. Farmer arrived and signed
for the balance. 81 will sign for q
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 our
name on that bond too" It 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 a half.
The Jury's Verdict.

room and took the same seats they
had occupied for nearly 8 weeks.

PRESIDENT TAFT's MESSAGE

President:
To the Senate and House of Rep

81 have convened congress in extra
session in order to enable it to give
immediate consideration to the revis-
ION OF the Dingley tariff act. Condi-
Mons affecting production, manufac-
ture and business generally have so
changed In the last IL years as to re-
qulre re-adjuStment and revision of
the import duties imposed by that act,
More than this the present tariff act
with other sources of government rev.
enue, does not furnish income enough
TO pay authorized expenditures. By
July 1, next, the excess of expenses
over receipts for the current fiscal
year viii equal 100000. 900.
Party Pledged to Revision.
The successful party in the late
election Is pledged to a revision of
the tariff. The country and business
community especially, expect it. The
prospect OF change in the rates oP
import duties always causes q susnen-
sion or halt in business because of the
uncertainty as TO changes TO be made
ana their effect. 1t is thefore of the
highest Importance that the new bill

slstent with its due and thoronoh

PECULIAR FUNERAL

London, Sept. 23.-Fulfillment of tho

Davidson. the famous poet. that he
should he buried in the sea off the
Cornwall coast. nearly caused riot
among the simple fisher folk at
Mousehole, where he had lived. They
made objection to this form of burial
especially as the coffin was to be cast
into the sea without any service. No
boat could be secured at Mousehole to
take the body out to sea. so it was
removed to Penzance. whence the cof-
fin in a lifeboat was towed 10 miles
out. and clergyman read the service
before it was committed to the deep.
