NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 3s-The states
attack in the CaInaek murder trial upon
the integrity Of one of the defendants.
Colonel Cooper IN his conduct as clerk and
master in chancery and an associate of
defaulting state treasurer. took the de-
fense by surprise. but they soon had special
agents at work on that part of the evidence
and during last night several men from
various points in the state arrtved-men
who are presumed to be able to throw some
light upon the charges. These had been in
conference with the attorneys for the de-
fense before court opened today.
The states attorneys were not less oceu-
pied. The decision OF the defense to put
Governor Patterson and Adjutant General
Tully Brown upon the stand caused the
states counsel to go over the stenographic
report OF the entire testimony and every
reference to Governor Patterson and Gen
eral Brown was Transcribed for reference
In cross-exauInation. At least two OF the
counsel for the state are bitter political
enemies OF Patterson. and IL is anticipated
that no pains will be spared TO embarrass
the chief executive Of the state.
The crowds which attended the trial today
were as large as ever and lunch boxes have
become the rule instead Of the exception.

sumed the stand and said.
