Opening. Of the Carmaok
Murder Trial Was Full ,
Of Interest
Widow Was Too Overcome
to Give Her Evidence
and Excused

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 16-Filled
with dramatic incidents and marked by
scenes that bordered on the sensational,
the first day of the actual trial of the
Cooper-Sharpe case closed tonight
Whether Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Rob-
bin J. Cooper and John Sharpe killed
former Senator Carmack in self-de-
fense as the result of conspiracy is
the issue.
The taking of testimony begun today
with every seat in the big, new court
room occupied. Scarcely had the at
torneys been raped into order than a
sensation was reported. Mrs. E. w.
Carmack, widow of the dead senator,
was half carried, half assisted into the
room. She was gowned in deepest
mourning. Her black veil fell nearly to
her feet. Her knees gave way as she
neared her seat and she was moaning
as she was placed in the chair. Her lit
tie son, Ned, Jr., aged 10, stood by
his mother, patting her shoulder and
trying to keep back his tears.
Sensation number two came when the
state called Mrs Carmack as its first
witness. She was almost carried to
the witness stand, a raised platform,
by her kinsman, Frank Lander, who
succeeded her husband as editor of the
Tennessee A few questions were ask
ed her; but she became hysterical and
was excused
Sensation number three followed
Mrs. Carmack's leaving the stand.
Young Ned Carmack turned squarely
toward where the defendants sat and
fixed upon them look full of hatred.
Next came the testimony of Mrs. East
man. who seizsd the revolver said to
have been found near the dead body
and reenacted the tragedy. Her cross
examination was severe, but only
strengthened her direct testimony.

....:.... Not E0llghtening

Madison, Wis, Feb. 16.-United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson today
submitted to a searching examination
extending over four hours before the
Wisconsin legislative committee which
started probe of the u. S. senatorial
primary Of last fall.
~ Mr.. Stepehson told of his expendi-
tlres of more than $l07 900 during the
campaign. The money, he said, was
spent through his agents who called
upon him whenever they needed money.
Stacks of paid checks were placed in
evidence. Checks for sums up to $780,
900 were issued to j. A. Van Cleve,
3 his manager, and $50, 600 was placed
in a multitude of banks for use of his
managers. Payments by checks for
various other small amounts were ac-
counted by the senator "for work done. "
Many of the expenditures were belit-
tied by the senator. He did not keep
a memoranda of everything he spent,
saying Il keep them in my head"
! Mr.. Stephenson's testimony was not
enlightening. The statement of ex-
penditures was prepared by his mana
gers and he sanctioned it. He ac-
counted for the spending of $11 900 for
postage by stating that 10000 letters
were sent out by his managers in two
days He could not say how one item
Of SNi. 900, paid to an advertising agen-
Cyl, Nss spent, nor could he tel how
his manager, Mr.. E. A. Edn1onds, re-
ceived pay for his work.
The senator smiled frequently when
questions which appealed to him par
ticularly were propounded. Asked as
to whether he wrote any political letters
during the campaign, he said he had,
and added. Il have several political
letters that the world may see some
time"
