COOPER TRIAL BEGINS
TENNESSEEAN AND SON CHARGED
WITH CARMACK MURDER.
Defense Claims Senator Fired First Shot
While State Claims He Was Killed
from Behind

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 2O.-With
the stage set for the Cooper murder trial,
the witnesses present and the prospective
jurors summoned. it became known this
morning that the state had prepared a
surprise for the defense by having the
body Of Carmack exhumcd and an aU-
topsy held.
After the murder, and i'll the excite
ment attendant upon the crime, the state
neglected to order a postmOrtem. 1t is
essential in the trial that the direction
from which the bullets came can be de-
termined
The states theory is that Carmacl1,
with his hat raised to greet a lady, was
shot from behind. The defense asserts
that he fired the first shot 1t seems.
however, that some time between the
date Of the killing and the present time,
the state, secretly and at night, eXhume d
the body of the slain editor and caused
a careful post norton to be performed.
The course of the bullets thus was de-
termined and the state claims to have
proof that the bullet which killed Car
mack entered his neck from behind.
This however, does not entirely dis
prove the theory Of the defense Even
the defense does not claim that Col
Cooper fired the shots. It maintains
that young Cooper, believing his father 5
life was i'll danger, fred upon Carmack
to protect his sire and it is not contended
that young Cooper stood any place but
behind.
The work of completing the new court
room for the opening of the trial was
rushed all day yesterday and was car
ried far into the night and as a result
the big new temple Of justice was ready
for the opening of court today. The
sheriff reported TO Judge Hart that the
summons for both jurors and witnesses
had been served and that nothing except
objections of counsel stood in the way of
the opening Of what promises to be the
most famous legal battle i'll the history
of Tennessee.
