wide prohibition and the advocates in
their fight used the slogan Remember
Carmack"
The Coopers are warm personal
friends of Governor Patterson. and a
belief is prevalent that in case the
verdict stands they viii be granted a
pardon. This question was often dis
cussed in the rural districts during the
trial. and caused violent threats Ia
be made against the chief executive.
The jurors this morning looked
worn out, and when the court remark
ed, Il dismiss you to your homes and
your personal avocations," the entire
twelve sprang from their seats as one
room. The defendants and their coun-
sci remained to complete the bond
preliminaries and the motion for a
new trial.
Cause of Killing.
Friends of the late ex- Senator e.
w Carmack are much pleased over
the result of the trial The killing
was the result of attacks made on
Duncan Cooper by Carmack in The
Tennesseeap, a paper of which Car
mack was editor. Cooper declared
that Nashville was not big enough for
the two unless these attacks ceased.
and when Carmack heard the threat
he proceeded to write another attack
which was published the day of the
killing The defense maintained that
Robin Cooper did not fire a shot until
Carmaek had fired twice. and that the
, killing of the ex-senator was in self
defense. II was clearly shown in the
trial that Duncan Cooper did not fire
shot, but that he was ready to do
so if Carmack had killed his son.
The prosecution insisted that the
CoOpers, after having made threats,
sought out Carmack for the purpose
of killing him, and that he was shot
from behind. The state was most Wig
orous in its work, and connected with
the trial were several of the most
noted lawyers in the state.
The charge given by Judge Hart to
the jury was a most comprehensive
| one. and went into every detail It
was siXty-two typewriter pages, and
is regarded by lawyers to be one Of
