 Did Colonel Cooper bring on the dimculty? Who says he did aot? He | could have kept on up Seventh avenue and Carmack would still be alive, Whose fault was itr Carmack- did not bring it about did he? A SiRihcant Fact. There Is one significant fact in this law suit. Who knows how many pis- tols Colonel Cooper had and to whom weer they delivered7 You remember that when Ofncer Vaughan went to Forts inhrmary and ask ed for weapons Colonel Cooper went to Robins over coat and gave him the son's pistol Not word about Colonel cooper's gun. Then Sergeant Meadows says he got this new shiny. unfired pistol that night at the police station from Ser geant Reid. That was hours after Carmack's death. Where is Sergeant Reid? You did not hear him did you He was not produced.
 How many things could have been done to a pistol between { pi ml, and night? How many cartridges could have been changed? How many revoi- IT., Cole says there were two bullet holes In that post. and that they came from the north. Where did they come from They insist that the bullets Carmack fired entered Robins body or Robins clothing. Then where did the other bull lets come from? Do you believe that ball from a 3s-calibre pistol. fired at a range of three or four feet. would strike Q tie and collar, go into his flesh only an inch and half and strike no bone? No, gentlemen you do not. Is 1t not more likely that Colonel Cooper fired. that the bullet hit the telegraph pole, that its force was spent and that 1t glanced into the shoulder of Robin Cooper while he was murdering Senator Carmack7 It Is the only reasonable theory, gentlemen. for the physical faces make 1t impossible for Carmack to have fired the shots, in the way these defendants say he did"
 General Garner worked out various theories as to how the revolver of Colonel Cooper could have been tam revolver might also have been fixed" He next described Senator Carmacks mental condition before the shooting when he declared he was jolly ana pleasant.
 When did he become such a blood thirsty murderer that 1t was necessary for these defendants to shoot him to death?'
 Mrs. Eastman's Testimony.
 Listen to Mrs. Eastman: I was smiling up at him. he was smiling down on me. his hat raised. a look of pleased anticipation on his faoe'- was he Q murderer thenf
 Listen again to this beautiful wo- mans story: I heard a voice from be- hind-'Now. sor. we have the drop on you a look of surprised inquirey re- placed the smtt.' What did Carmack see? The man who at II o'clock was threatening to shoot him. He saw mur- der in the mans eye. He saw Cooper's son circling out behind him. He saw q man who had not spoken to him for months hiding behind a woman. saw him with outstretched hand. He heard no one say: Carmack. I am here on a peaceful errand.' Instead, he heard; Now, sir, we have the drop on you
 Mrs. Eastman says she did not see Senator Carmack fire and she does not think he did fire. If you believe other wise, you believe that Mrs. Eastwan perjured herself. She says she saw a young man. Robin, coming up from be- hind and then the firing began. And then, too, gentlemen, they murdered Senator Carmack. don't care what your verdict is. whether you acquit or convict, but the Coopers entrapped and foully murdered E. W. Carmack.
 After the murder-listen now to what this old spar kof Southern chiv- airy says to his own daughter: It is all over: 1t Is all over.' Is that the voice of an honest man7 Or Is it the voice of a inurdererr It is all over.'
 No, 1t Is not all over. That was your day, Colonel Cooper. now Is the day of the law. Justice demands that the murderers be punished; the law demands that the murderers be punish ed. The voice of the dead cries to | you. gentlemen. for justice"
 General Garner closed brilliantly at 3:10 p. m.. having spoken four hours. The quick gavel of Judge Hart and the sharp work of bailiffs prevented an outburst of applause that seemed im- minent.
 Mrs. Carnaack Faints>
 Then. with a sob. Mrs. Carmack stood up, staggered and fell in faint. The diversion distracted the attention of the | audience fro mthe stirring peroration of Garner.
 Genera Washington then began for the defense.
 "I come to you as one counsel for the defense to give you my views of the aw and evidence in the case. but be- lore I do so. have something to say lbout the gentleman who has just en- .ertained you for, four hours. I don't xnow anything about this man. but 10 know he doesn't belong here"
 General Washington had attred him. Ielf in a new blue frock suit and he grew fiery at once./ In loud, high pitched voice he attacked Garner for that Lieutenant Pilcner had with -Carmack's revolver.
 Garner arose and said he had not so harged.
 T know you didn't. you don't dare o do 1t. but you intimated that the son f old General Pitcher. who bears the tar of honor on his grow, was thief.
 scoundrel, a liar and a purjurer, and 'ou can't say or intimate these things while I am around" Several times the audience laughed t the frenzied exclamations of the peaker and the deputies seemed pow rless to suppress 1t. h "This lawyer comes from some other ounty, comes over to our side of the eEce," he went on, ito brand our cit zens and our pure. good men and law CTS as perjurers and suborners of , erjury.
