grabbed the lapels of my coat. She
said that Senator Carmack jumped in
front of her and that Colonel Cooper
then said that IS like a dastardly
coward, hiding behind woman"

but gave him the impression that

Morgan heard only three shots.

the courts indulgence for a brief

DIR. Duncan Eve. one Of NashvfIIe's
surgeons OF thirty-five years practice,
was then called. The wounds de-
scribed Dy DR.. Glasgow were related
TO DIR. Eve and he was asked if the
so described were fatal.
If the first wound described-the
one in the left sidc-did not kill him
at once and fell him instantly, he |
would be Frustrated at once by the /
shock and would soon die"
The second wound, also through the |
side, was described. The doctor said: /

Iowder burned. The bullets was i'm

move every time the shoulder. arm

end to move the bullet and the large |
ize of the wound would make it easy
