NO CRIME COMMITTED.
Cooper Counsel Thinks carmack's
Death Was JustfiabIe.

Nashville, Tenn. March 9.-The I'M
written law was extended today to cover
editors who attack private or public men,
ben Gen. Meeks of counsel for defence.
in the trial of Col Duncan Cooper. Robin
Cooper and John d. Sharp for the murder
of former United States Senator f. w.
Carmack. The innovation was sprung
during Gen. Meeks speech to the jury.
Previously he had expressly disclaimed
the belief that any editorial attack justi-
fled killing the writer. But when warm
ed up to his subject with Il burst of elO-
quence he said: 'r
You talk of the liberty of the press.
Why, gentlemen, no man lives who be-
lieves more firmly in the liberty of the
press than I do. But when a man in an
editorial position turns the liberty of the
pEess into license and undertakes to de-
what are you going to do? The prosecu-
ton will tell you you have your recourse
in the courts. Yes. and you get a judg-
ment for $4,000 against a man not worth
the price of a plug of tobacco. Is that
satisfaction? Oh, gentlemen, I tell you
that the streets of this city, our city,
have run red before with the blood of
men who improperly used other mems
names in public prints
Gen. Meeks devoted five hours to the
speech He painted the defendants as
the finest types of Southern aristocracy
and breeding; declared no crime had been
committed when Senator Carmack was
shot to death, and closed with a dramatic
tppeal to the jury to turn loose this gal
liant old soldier. Col. Cooper Gen. Meeks
closed a 40 P. M. having spoken exactly
five hours He was completely exhausted.
Court was then adjourned until tomor-
row, when Gen. Garner, for the state
will begin his argument.

Mueller COnfesseS to Muir
der Near Baltimore.
DyaeStsxtA
Says He Shot Sweetheart,
But Through Accident.
Police Are SeepticaI Regarding
Details Of His Story.

Baltimore, Md, March 9.-Under
searching questioning by the police to-
day, John J. Mueller confessed that it
vas he who last night shot and killed
his sweetheart, Miss Regina Reed, anc
that there was no truth in the story
he told Immediately after the shooting
that he and Miss Reed were held up
at lonely spot near Mount Washing
ton by i highwayman who shot Miss
Reed.
In a signed statement today Mueller
said that when the electric car upon
which he and Miss Reed were riding
reached South and Hilltop avenues.
near Mount Washington, Miss Reed,
whose marriage to Mueller was set for
April IA, said she must leave the car.
After they had walked short dis
lance, the girl proceeding him. Muel-
Ter says. he thought he saw man
emerging from behind tree ard. DE-
lievirg himself to be in danger. fired.
but owing to the unsteadiness of his
aim Oil account of fright, the bullet
md killed Miss Reed. Mueller declares
the shooting to have been entirely dc-
cidental.
His story, howet"E' is not accepted
by the police, whose 4reorv rs that the
killing was premcGlt, ed. They believe
that Mueller wished TO break of his en-
gagemcnt to Miss Reed but had not
the courage to tell her so. AT the cor
oner's inquest a number of points We're
brought out that contradict Mueller's
origna! statement as well as a part
Of his confession 1t was shown that
the place where the shooting took
place was dark and that highway
man could not have seen the necklace
worn by the girl and that for the same
reason, Mueller could not have seen
the alleged highwayman's pistol siis-
ten as he claimed in his original story
Further as against details of Mueller's
confession there are no trees at or
near the scene large enough to conceal
a man. 1t also developed that Miss
Reed was shot twice and three wit
ncsses have testified that there was an
interval of at least two minutes be-
tween the shots. Mueller is under ar
rest and the police are making fur
ther Investigations
Mueller and Miss Reed figured last
December in an episode IN which an

REPORTED TO The SENATE
Payne Tariff Bill Amended in Many
Particulars.


Washington, April l3.-The amend
ed tariff bill is now on the senate
calendar and by an agreement reached
on the floor consideration of the meas
ure will begin on Thursday.
Az reported, the bill does not con-
tain all of the changes in rates which
the finance committee proposes to
make. Although several important
amendments, such as the restoration
of the Dingley rates on womens
gloves and hosiery, the placing of
works of art on the free list and the
assessment of duty on iron ore, have
been made. the revenue producing pos
sibilities of the bill are little changed
The increases are provided mainly in
the schedule covering Injuries, the
entire liquor schedule being material
ly advanced. The increase on wines
and spirits is expected to bring in
about 100000 additional revenue
Senator Aldrich stated that the COM
mittee realizes that the Increases thus
far recommended will not be sufficient
to counterbalance the loss in revenues
that will result from the reductions
and the lengthening of the free list.
This shortage will necessitate further
increases on certain Injuries, and the
committee intends to report some
changes at an early date which it will
ask the senate to adopt.
