COURT DECISION.

Washington, March 11,-Denounc-

down in Edinburgh, Scotland. yester-
day by Judge Guthrie. In granting a
divorce to Captain John Alexander
Stirling from his wife. Glare Elizabeth
Stirling, an American girl. Charles
H. TAYLOR of this city, Mrs. Strings
father, last night declared that the
court had completely ignored the
evidence discriminating Stirling. heed
ing only what he claimed was manu-
featured testimony damaging to Mrs,
Strings character. He said his
daughter had been treated unfairly
all the way through. though she had
the sympathy of all England behind
her" Mr.. Taylor took strong excep-
ton 10 the courts comparison of
Mrs Stirling to Mrs. Atherton. He
said that while his daughter had no
royal blood in her veins, she comes
from good honest and upright people
whose record for honor can be traced
back for seventy years in one Amer

BY the decision under the Scottish
law, Mrs. Stirling loses all title to

COLONEL COOPER
SHOT HIS SON
SUCH is CLAIM OF STATE IN
TRIAL OF MEN WHO KILLED
cARMACk.
ATTORNEY GENERAL DECLARES
THEORY OF DEFENSE is
IMPOSSIBLE.

ashville, Tenn, March 1.-Two
things stand out in yesterdays de-
veIopments in the Cooper-Sharp trial
One is the theory of tn, state as to
the wounding of Captain Cooper The
other is the defense's defense.
The state announced through At
torney General Garner that it would
contend that Colonel Cooper fired the
shot which wounded his son, and that
Carmack, if he fired at all, fired
wildly. Garner first declared it
would be a physical impossibility for
Carmack TO have shot Robin as the
Coopers swear he did. Next he de-
clared that a reasonable solution OF
the problem was that Colonel Cooper
opened fire on Carmack as Mrs
Eastman believes he did and that the
bullet from his pistol struck q tele-
phone post, was detected and entered
Robins shoulder. He contended that
this theory is corroborated by the
course of the bullet, which penetrat-
ed the flesh only an inch and a half
and failed to strike a bone. A IS
calibre bullet fired point blank at the
range of three or four feet, Garner
contends, would have gone deeper in
the flesh than an inch and half.
tt became evident from the argu-
ment of General Washington of the
defense, who followed Garner that
the defense proposes to rely very
strongly upon the plea of justification
as well as upon the plea of self de.
Tense. Meeks paved the way for It
in his argument Monday when he
came out ooldly In favor of the ap.
plication of the unwritten law to edi.
tors and declared that the murder OF
Carmack by the Coopers was not the
first time a Nashville editor had
been slain for criticising someone.
Washington did not take such
decided stand but he devoted the en-
tire two hours of his argument yes.
terday afternoon to denunciation OF
| Carmack. He had not finished his
argument when the court adjourned.

HARDEN GETS
TEN-YEAR TERM
CIRCUIT JUDGE GRIMM AT JAMES
VILE SENDS HIM TO
WAUPUN.
BERT KRUGER, HIS AcCoMPLlcE,
GETS OFF WITH FIVE.
YEAR SENTENCE.

GAINESVILLE. Wis, March 11.-Fred
Harden, the Green county Jail breaker
who was caught by the Madison police
Saturday. was sentenced 10 Waupun
for a term of ten years by Circuit
Judge Grimm yesterday. Bert Krue-
ger, his accoMplice, received a SEN
tence of five years. Harden was
charged with burglary In the night
time and with dangerous weapon.
and Kruger was sentenced for burg
| larry in the night time. When they
have completed their terms they will
be arrested on the charge Of burglas-
iziBg freight cars of the Chicago &
| Northwestern roads
That Harden had no connection with
the mysterious murder Of Michael
Cronin at GAINESVILLE is proved by a
I letter received by District Attorney
John l. Fisher, of Rock county When
Harden was arrested at GAINESVILLE and
pinned down as to his whereabouts
during the latter part of January he
said that he had been in prison In
i Pennsylvania the latter part OF last
year and was not released until Jan.
uary 20. Inquiry was made TO the
prison warden and his reply states
that Harden was committed there in
October for a four months term for
stealing and was not released until
January 26. This frees Harden Of any
suspicion OF being implicated in the
Cronin murder which occurred while
he was serving his PENNSYLVANIA sen
tence.
