CLAIMS COOPER
FIRED FIRST SHOT
State Contends Bullet Was De-
Elected and Wounded His Son.

Nashville, Tenn, March 1.-Two
features were made to stand out in
the Cooper-Sharp trial for the murder
Oh former Senator Carmack. The state
announced through Attorney General
Garner that it would contend that
Colonel ID. B. Cooper fired the shot
which wounded his son and that Sen.
ator Carmack, If he fired at all. fired
wildly. General Garner first declared
that 1t would be physical impossible.
lty for Carmack to have shot Robin, as
the Coopers swear he did. Next he
declared that the reasonable solution
OF the problem was that Colonel Coon
er opened fired on Carmack. as Mrs.
Eastman believes he did, and that a
bullet from his pistol struck the tele.
phone post, was detected and entered
Robins shoulder. He contended that
this theory is corroborated by the
course of the bullet, which penetrated
the flesh only an inch and a half and
failed to hit the bone. A 3S-caliber
bullet, fired point blank at range of
three or four feet, Garner contends,
would have gone deeper in the flesh
than an inch and a half
The court proceedings were inter
rupted by the sudden fainting of Mrs.
Carmack. The audiences attention
was instantly diverted to the widow
of the murdered man. 1t became evi.
dent from the argument of General
Washin eton for the defense, who fol-
lowed General Garner before the Jury,
that the defense proposes to rely
strongly upon plea of justification,
as well as upon the plea of self de-
Tense. General Washington devoted
the entire two hours of his argument
to denunciation of Carmack. He in.
terpreted Carmack's words and edi-
torials as he said they were meant
and as Colonel Cooper interpreted
them. and declared that the colonel
had no other recourse in the world.
