W. R. KING TO WE'D
MISS ETHEL WOODWARD

The many friends of the contracting
parties in this city have received hand
somely embossed invitations to the
marriage Of w. r. King, of this city,
TO Miss Ethel Woodward, of Knoxville
Mr.. King is the son of one of the oldest
families in the city and is a most ex-
emplary young man, worthy in every
way of the talented young lady he has
won for his life partner. Speaking of
the event, the Knoxville Sentinel says:
"The announcement of the approach
ing marriage of Miss Ethel Woodward,
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. n. S. Wood
ward, to Mr.. VIM. r. King, of johnson
City, has created great deal of inter-
est in social circles and is being antici-
pated as one of the most brilliant nup-
tials of the early spring. A large num-
Der of out-of-town guests are to attend
the wedding, and series of pretty So
cial courtesies are being arranged by
Miss Woodward's friends TO precede
the event.
Miss Woodward is one of Knoxvile's
most attractive young women and pos.
sesses a charming personality to add tC
her gifts of beauty and intellect. She
is prominent in social and club circles
and has an unusually large circle o.
friends. Her tiance is the son of Mr.
and Mrs, j. &. King, of Johnson City
and is widely connected. He was a

THE VERDICT
AGAINST THE COOPERS

The finding Of the jury in the Cooper
Carmack tragedy is the verdict of the
law. And no matter what may be
opinions of the friends of the dead or
of the living, that verdict is binding
and all lawabiding men must accept it
as. the measure Of justice in the case, if
it is finally sustained in the court of
last resort.
The law gives us the jury system rs
the proper means of trying indictments
that may be found, and the verdict
that these twelve men rendered Satur-
day is the measure of punishment that
the jury held to fit the crime.
The finding Of the jury is that Col.
Cooper and his son should serve twenty
years in the penitentiary for taking
the life of f. w. Carmack
This verdict was surprise to all who
followed the case. 1t was thought Sat
urday morning that the jury was hope
lessly apart and that a mistrial would
be entered.
The friends of Carmack, in the be
ginning, looked for a verdict of murder
in the first degree, finally came to eX
pect little else than a mistral. Tn,
twenty years penalty is more sever
than they, for the last forty-eigh
,, hours, thought could be secured.

Judge Hart. II is thought practically
certain that he will deny the motion,
and that the case will be appealed to
the supreme court. 1t can not reach
the high court at this term, and should
the new trial be denied by Judge Hart,
decision in the supreme court is, in
consequence, nine months or year
away. In case a reversal should be
handed down, it would be exceedingly
difficult TO get another jury to try the
case in this court.
The defendants received their release
from custody at 1922 O'Clock, 1t was
issued to Deputy Will Borum, An in
formal reception was held in their
rooms at the Jail, hundreds of the friends
of the prisoners coming to protfer SYM
pathy and their services, and it was
late in the afternoon before Col. Cooper
and Robin could get away from thC
