rect examination of the colonel, which

a partial victory for the state.

another surprise. 1t resurrected some
old legislative records concerning an
investigation into the defalcaton of
State Treasurer M. T. Polk in the ear

andS of dollars of the states money
was invested by Polk with Colonel
Duncan B. Cooper and others in
Mexican silver mine scheme, a walnut
log scheme i'll North Carolina, and Il
scheme to buy the Nashville American.
Colonel Cooper admitted that there
were Irregularities in his Office of
clerk and master in chancery, but
said they were due to bad manage
ment and poor bookkeeping and that
every dollar was made good He ad-
mltted that Polk was his partner in
the ventures named, but declared that
he (Cooper) never handled dollar of
the money and had no knowledge that
it was taken from the states strong

Ask for Time to Rest in

PRESS QUESTIONS UPON HIM
Revert Constantly to Political Fight
Though Testimony is Always Ruled
Out by the Court.

suit of well defined rumor, impossi-
BILE of confirmation or denial, that
Governor Patterson would take the
witness stand on behalf of the defend
ants a larger crowd was in attendance
at the Cooper-Sharp trial today, than
on any previous day since the case
began.
Cooper Again Examined.
When court opened Colonel Cooper
again took the stand. Captain Fitz-
hugh resumed the cross-examination,
commencing with the state debate be-
tween Carmack and Patterson during
the last gubernatorial campaign. Wit
ness was asked if the Nashville pa
pers did not report this debate in full,
and if he ever read Carmack's attack
upon him in the American.
Was Told of Attack.
He said he had not read it, but be-
Iieved the papers did not publish the
debate in full. He was informed by
hundreds of people who attended the
debates that Carmack had attacked
him.
Produces Many Editorials.
Fitzhugh led the witness through edi-
torial after editorial, asking each time
if witness name were named in it,
and each time Cooper answered in the
negative, but said his name was i'm.
piled. The state continued to revert
to the political fight which Cooper
was charged with settling. Invariably
the testimony was ruled out, but in
variably the attorneys returned to the
attack.
Advised to Leave Politics.
"You had better get off politics and
get on to facts" said the court.
"If you got a message from a mar
who said the town was too big foI
both of you, what would you under
