ILL FEELING AT
CARMACK TRIAL
Opinion hat There is Slight
Chance Of Conviction.
Fears Of a Clash

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NASHVILLE. March 15-when the
trial Of John d. Sharp, Colonel Duncan
Cooper and Robin Cooper. for the MUIR
der; Of Former United States Senator
carmaek, was resumed today. States At
torney JEFF. McCarn resumed his argu-
ment against the three defendants. lie
is expected to finish by noon after which
a recess will be taken until o'clock to-
morrow when Judge Hart VIII charge the
jury.
With the end Of the trial but a few
hours distant, the i'll feeling that has
been accumulating is slowly coming to
a head, and grave fears are entertained
that an open outbreak cannot be averted.
Tho clash between McCarn and Sheriff
Borreum Saturday night, in which blood
shed was only averted by the interven-
ton of Friends, of both parties has in
tensined the factionalism and it is an ad-
mitted fact that the closest friends Of the
accused and the men who arc RESPONSE
BILE for their prosecution are all armed
today.
The slightest overt act on either side
would start bloody fight ana the cool
headed leaders on both sides are hard
put TO it to keep their vitriolic follow
ers within bounds.
No one is rash to attempt to forecast
the verdict of the jury. although there
seems to be a general feeling, that there
| is slight chance of convicuoH. That
this is the feeling of the State attor-
neys is shown by the extreme bitterness
Of their arguments in which fervid per-
solalities have been freely INDUCED. The
defense however. does not look for any
acquittal although they so express them
selves I'm the OPEN The general impress
sion is a hung jury and II this is the
resdlt, the defense will at once demand
that the three men be released on bail.

Mcmahon Bros, the popular Furniture
and Stove dealers purchased the en-
tire stock of Row & Co., who have
sold China, Glassware. Lamps, Silver
plated Ware and House Furnishing
Goods at this location for the past 81
years. Nothing but the best of every
thing, whether a small glass dish OF a
fine complete dinner set was ever al
lowed TO enter their stock so that il
is impossible for customers to buy an
unsatisfactory article. Nothing bought
for the occasion as is generally the
case in such sales. The McMahon
Bros. purchased the stock at about
one-third actual cost and the public
is reaping the benefit OF such fortu-
nate deal.

gas, turned it on again. His wife had
left him mapping in the chair when
