AND NOT 4 JUROR ADDED

Trouble Over Whether Juror Whit

His Physician Having Stated IT
Might Cause the Jurors Death
The Prosecution Makes Grave
Charges Against the Defense Coun-
sci.
Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 3O.-There
was q very brief but very sensational
session Of court today in the trial of
Col. Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper
and John D.. Sharpe, charged with the
murder OF former Senator Z. w.
Carmack.
The trouble began after a hundred
or more talesmen had been examined
and not a juror secured The venire
was exhausted and the Court an
nounced that the new one would not
be available until Tuesday. Then the
Court announced his willingness to
take up the question as to whether or
not Juror J. NJ. Whitworth was physi-
cally able to continue in the case.
Whitworth was called to the stand
this morning and testified that he felt
pretty we'll. Judge Hart then said
that as Whitworth had an organic dis
cas- which might terminate fatally at
any time thus causing a mlStrlal the
Court felt inclined to avoid the chance
b ~yexcusing the juror. The State OBJ
jected s~trenuously and in the midst or
the discussing Attorney Garner, OF
the prosecution, threw the verbal
hombshel1.

that the defense has given 1t OUT

All the attorneys for the defense
were on their feet in a second. de-
manding to be heard. protesting m
nocence and denouncing h charge.
The court raped them into silence
and remarked: This is a serious
charge, and if there is anything like
it going on the court wants to know
it."
Garner FASTENED TO say that he had
no information tina counsel for the
defense nau hnowledge OF the plot.
Garner then went on to say thai ne
based his charges on l"n1OrHatioi
which he had not had time to verify,
but he added that he also had lnfor-
nation that Mrs. Whitworth had
written a second lettei 10 TIC 'ooit,

Then followed another sensation.

The State explained it got its IN

No balloon race that has ever been

of the success which has been pre-

the balloons in tomorrow's race will
each hold $4,000 cubic feet of gas

way for handling the balloons and the

tests are of the most perfect and elab-
crate character. The parkway com
pany has laid four miles of six-inch gas
main from one of the plants of the To-
cal gas company to motor park. Gas
from this main will initiate the bal
looms. There are ten initiating sta
tions and each balloon will be guarded

artillery will be on guard to keep the
