COOPER JURORS INSTRUCTED
JUDGE HART EXPLAINS LAW
GOVERNING THE CASE.
Editorial Attacks Not Sufficient Provo
cation for Killing Of carmack,
Says Court.

Nashville, Tenn, Mar. 17.--That the
editorial attacks made by former Sen,
ator Carmaek against Col. Cooper
were not sufficient to justify his
death. issin substance asserted by
Judge William NJ. Hart in the in
structions given to the jury in the
Cooper.Sharp murder case to-day.
After telling the jurors that they
may find the defendants guilty of muir
der in the first degree, murder in the
second degree, voluntary manslaugh-
ter and Involuntary manslaughter, and
defining these crimes, Judge Hart
touched upon the cause of the staying
of Carmack in these words:
Previous threats by the deceased
against the defendant, or acts of hos
tility toward him, or previous abuse
of him, how violent soever it may
have been or trespasses upon his prop
erty, is not such provocation as the
law recognizes as sufficient to reduce
an unlawful killing to manslaughter if
the killing was done as such at such
time as had lapsed after these things
had been done as a reasonable person
would have regained self-control, and
killing under these circumstances
would be deemed by the law malicious
and not the result of proyocation, and,
therefore, murder ....-
In other words, if there had been
sufficient tine for the passion to cool,
the proyocation will not mitigate a
subsequent killing to manslaughter.
The question is not whether the blow
was actually struck in the continu-
ance of passion, but whether there had
been a reasonable time for the passion
to cool in the case of any ordinary
person. This must depend upon the
circumstances of the particular case
under investigation.
You enter upon this investigation
with the presumption that the de-
PENDANT is not guilty of any crime,
and this presumption stands as a wit
ness for him until it is rebutted and
overturned by competent and credit
able proof, sufficiently strong to sat.
isfy you beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant is guilty of some
one of the offenses which have been
heretofore defined and explained to

his neighbors, fearing the progress OF the
flames, carried their effects from their
own houses. Mrs. Sloan escaped from her
house before the flames reached her. and

men worked hard to save the neighboring
property. but the blaze had SO much start
before they were summoned that 1t was
impossible for them to prevent the dam

turned what effects they had removed
from them and long before midnight
they were settled for the night. The
damage to the three houses amounted to
about $500. while 5000 will cover the loss

wound in the roof of his mouth, Harry

which may be fatal

able to speak to the surgeons. but he
made no explanation of his act. This
morning he was unconscious although he
appeared in better condition than he was
last night
Blaine had been i'll for some time, and.
it is said, probably feared he would not
get well. From time to time he had
shown signs of dependency, although he
had never intimated that he intended to
take his life. Last night he left other
members of the family about o'clock
any more than usual.
About one hour after he went to the
upper floor his mother went there to see
If he wanted anything. He was not in
