TRIAL HALTED.
Recess Taken in the Cooper Sharpe
Trial-The Witnesses.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. le.-Absence
of some State witnesses and desire on
the part Of the defence to arrange its
plan of procedure, caused an ad-
iournment today until Saturday IN
the Cooper-Sharpe trial for the muir
der of former Senator E. ". Car
mack. The State first announced
that it rested its case in chief. When
the defence asked until Saturday 10
prepare. and the continuance was
granted, Attorney General McCarn
announced that some witnesses would
be here by that time, and that he
would offer their testimony.
The State has satisfied itself with
offering testimony to prove that Sena-
ator Carmack was slain in Nashville
by Robin J. and Duncan B. Cooper;
that John D. Sharpe, when he heard
the shots, knew what they were doing
without looking around, and that
prior to the killing. several confer
enceS had been held. This the State
contends lays the foundation Of proof
of conspiracy. The State stops here
and waits for the defence to offer its
case.
Attorney General McCarn has SUBJ
poenaed sixty-four witnesses, and has
used scarcely a score. The others

IF you believed his mission was
peaceful why did YOU 90 with him?"
"BecauSe he was my father and I
believed it my duty to protect him,
as he was unable to protect himself. y
"Did you believe Senator Carmack
knew Of your fathers changed atti-
tude?'
"No, sir; I knew he did not. Faith
er turned over and got on the side
walk. I followed him in the street
and got in the direction Of the two
posts. Papa was on the sidewalk, |
was in the street almost even with
him.
The Killing.
"Senator Carmack was about to
pass Mrs. Eastman and was putting
his hat back on his head. Papa spoke
to him as he was passing her without
expecting to speak. Papa said:
Senator Carmack, and instantly the
senator drew his revolver.
"It came out instantly, just like
this The witness illustrated the
motion.
"It paralyzed me for a minute, and
sprang towards papa as Carmack
began to back towards the pole.
! :'As I jumped a shot exploed in
my face. The bullet struck my neck
tie and went into my shoulder. I
went after my gun, which was in my
overcoat pocket. The second shot
went through my sleeve and entered
the post. I slipped around the post
and found Carmack aiming at. me
again.
"What did you do then?"
II began firing. I fired three times
as fast as I could, leaning against the
post with my left hand. I saw Car
mack reel and fall, and I quit firing.
"Why did you stop9'A
"Because I saw that he was hit"
"Did your father say anything
about a coward?'
Heard Word "Coward."
eyes, sir. AS Carmack drew his
revolver and got behind Mrs. East
man, he said something about CO.
ward, hiding behind a woman's
skirts.'
"Where was your attention CEN
tered?"
"On Carmack and father -
"Did you see pistol in your faith
er's hand up to the time Carmack be-
gan to shoot?"
"No, sir.''
"Did your father say to Carmack
'now you are here; we have the drop
on you?'''
"No, sir, no such expression was
used. The only expression was about
a coward. The whole think was over
in "a minute. I jumped eight or ten
feet before I was shot and I moved
very quiekly.'
"Papa put his arm around me and
led me away"
"Did any one fire a shot before
Senator Carmack?"
"No. sir. Carmack fired two shots
first and I fired three. That was all
that were fired-five shots.''
The Witness then described his
wounds and testified about the X-ray
examination. Later his counsel ask
ed:
"At the time You shot Senator
Carmack, did you not believe that
your life was in danger?"
II believe if I had not done so, he
would have killed me. I think in an
other instant he would have shot me
again. -
The witness denied ever having
said to Chas. H. Warwick that Car
mack fought to have been dead and
in hell twenty years ago.
After Robin Cooper testified that
he had know Senator Carmack for
MANY years and had never chad
aueht but friendly feelings for the
senator.' the defence announced that
they were through questioning him,
and court adjourned.

Patrolman Robert Vaughn, the ar
resting officer, told how he heard the
shots and ran to the scene. He sa"
the body and was told that one OF the
principals had been wounded and had
gone to Font s Infirmary. He found
Col. Cooper and Robin Cooper there:
the latter lying on couch.
"Robin spoke to me and said: Pa
pa. give Mr.. Vaughn my gun The
colonel got an automatic revolver out
of an overcoat lying on chair. y The
officer identified the revolver. He
said he had not examined it. because
he never saw an automatic pistal be-
fore. Col. Cooper said nothing about
his own revolver, and the officer did
not search either of the men.
On cross-examination the officer
said that Lieut.. Pitcher, Z. S. A.. was
standing not far from Carmack 5
body when Vaughan arrived. The
lieutenant handed him a revolver and
said: "Here is a gun | found near
