COOPER PLOTTED
CARMACKS DEATH
Arguments in Nashville Trial
Are Commenced
Today.

NASHVILLE, March s. Captain
Fitzhugh began the opening argument
for the State in the Carmack case to-
day. He said:
II have shown you that it is murder
when a man takes a life upon a sud
den impulse. How much more is it
murder when a mans heart is so full
of malice and revenge that he spends
all day Sunday and most of Monday
devising ways and means of taking the
life of the man he hates so bitterly.
And when the tragedy was over the
defendants began to look for a cause,
for an xcu Their attorneys searched
the st~enographic reports. They exam
ined the joint debates between Car
mack and Patterson. And what did
they find? That Carmack had referred
to that little bald-headed angel, Dune
Cooper had asked did the angel come
from above or below?' and was there
the smell of sulphur on his wings?'"

WOMEN HAILED TO
COURT IN HATTERS
ROW ARE LET GO
Two Girls Complained Against
Mrs. Mary Kingsley and
Miss CaNie Graef.

Mrs. Mary Kingsley and Miss Carrie
Craef, OF the Hat Trimmers' Union,
we're called to the Fourth Precinct
Court today to answer to a complaint
of Eta Wagner, IL years old, n Eliza
beth Triber, same age, who said tina
the defendants had tried to persuade
them not to work in Seitz's hat shop in
Blum street. AS there was no evidence
of any assault being made no complaint
was accepted.
Mrs. Kingsley said that all she had
done was to try to get the young girls
to Join the Trimmers' Union, and that
they would be paid as much as they
made in the hat shops if they did.
Judge Herr warned them to desist.
Miss Graef wanted to know why she
had been called to the court room, as
she had never spoken to the girls or
saw them before. Judge Herr told her
that there had evidently been some mis-
take.

you in a blanket of great self-satis-
faction.
When you talk to Bryan you feel
that at last you have found a man who
appreciates your worth. He's a good
fellow n so are you. and involun-

measure to forgiveness according to a
mans power to forgive"
"There are three stages of finance.
A man spends half his life building up

up against that difficulty"

their soul for heaven. Now they Guilt

should narrow. He meant it to broden,
