 If His Story Of the Incidents of Carmack Shooting
  PROSECUTION Is THROUGH
Witness Surrendered to His Own Counsel-Governo nor Patterson Will Testify as to What He Knows of the Political Tragedy.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 25.-Aftel nearly two days under a searching cross Colonel Duncan B ! Cooper was surrendered to his owI counsel by the state. Tomorrow the case against the Coopers and John Sharpe, accused oi | the murder of former United States | SepatOr Edward Carmack, will be re- sumed with the aged defendant still on the stand.
 His counsel have decided upon a brief redirect examination Governor Patterson and his adju- tant general, Colonel Fully Brown will be called to tell what part they played in this political tragedy At first Cooper became excited, and several times his voice broke as he angrily denied the charges made by witnesses for the state.
 You determined to avoid Carmack but, all of a sudden, you changed your mind and started over to see the senator?" "Exactly-sudden impulse"
 Did you prepare yourself for the trouble?"
 T did, but I did not think there would be any trouble, unless I com mitted some overt act, and I did nothing to justify. Carmack in draw ing on me.
 You say Senator Carmack did not stop to talk to Mrs. Eastman"
 No. sir. He merely tipped his hat and started to pass on."
 When you spoke, he reached for his pistol?"
 He did"
 Then what?"
 He pulled it out with his right hand and put his left over to the same pocket. Then he stepped behind Mrs Eastman"
 And aimed at you?"
 "Well, in my direction"
 Did you tell him to get from be- hind the woman?"
 "No, sir. I said; It's damned cow ardly to get behind a woman, with a revolver in your hand
 "All this time Carmack had the re- volver out, but made no effort to shoot you?"
 T don't know what he was doing when he got beh,nd Mrs. Eastman. The movement was very rapid"
 What prevented his firing at any time?"
 God knows; I don't. There was nothing to prevent me from firing, too"
 What next?"
 Robin jumped in. I saw Car mack's pistol, and then the shots came"
 . "So you came at the senator from the front and Robin from behind?"
 No, sir; We both came up on him from the front. Robin swung around and began shooting"

AN ENLIGHTENED VIEW
 0F THE PUBLIC PRESS
The Governor of Kentucky's Remarks
 on a Libel Case.

Frankfort. Ky, Feb 25.-A strong defense of the freedom of the press in criticism of public officials was written by Governor Augustus Wilson today, in granting a pardon to the Herald Publishing company of Louis vile. The publisher of the Louisville Herald was indicted in the Galloway and Trigg circuit courts, charging the paper with having criminally libelled Judge Thomas P. Cook and the com mOnweaith's attorney, Denny P. Smith
 The two officials preside in the dis trict in which the greater part of the night rider troubles in western Ken lucky occurred.
 Governor Wilson wrote: "G the courtss don't put an end to the rule of crime in the counties in which the judge and the commonwealth's attor- ney are elected to uphold law and or der. the only hope of a permanent re- lief from such conditions is in an en- frightened public sentiment, aroused by the press of the country, and instead of punishing the newspaper which makes fight against such conditions, it should be regarded as fulfilling duty"

THE SENTENCING OF sUFFRAGETTEs
Twenty Eight of Them Given Terms in
 Real Jail.

London, Feb. 25.-Twenty-eight suf, fragists were sentenced to prison to- day, most of them for a term of one month. Most of the twenty eight wom- en sentenced took their punishment in dignified silence.
 All of the women were committed to the second division" which, in the case of the present batch of prisoners, who belong mostly to the educated classes, entails drastic changes in food and methods of living. They were all garbed in the rough and uncouth pris- on garments. and their food will be the ordinary prison fare They will not be allowed to communicate with one another. In spite of this far from alluring prospect, the women went off to their captivity giving outward signs of the utmost cheerfulness.

Juryman Holseberg Given Attention--Examination of Henry Mailman, a Witness, as to the Attitude of the Juryman.

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-There was another shift of jurors in the case of Patrick Calhoun today. Duncan B. Hilder, an auctioneer, was passed by both sides to occupy one of the two vacant seats in the box. and later in the day Judge Lawlor allowed a chal- lenge by the prosecution directed against David Holseberg, one of the jurors accepted several weeks ago.
 The session of the court ended with the tenth talesman of the day under examination by the prosecution, after he had been passed by the defense.
 The challenge interposed yesterday in the case of Juror Holseberg re- mained in abeyance during the great CT part of the day. while agents of the prosecution sought Henry Kall- man, formerly a business partner of the juror When the witness was fi- nally produced he was subjected to examination by Assistant District At torney Heney, who first asked the substance of Holseberg's opinions concerning the graft cases, as ex- pressed during their joint business en- terpriSes.
 Did MT. Holseberg not tell you that he thought the prosecutions were hurt ing business and that they should be stopped? And did you not tell a mu- tual friend that you did not think Heney would let him on the jury; that he would be a good juror for Calhoun, and that he owned stock or bonds of the United Railroads?"
 T don't remember saying that" re- piled Kallman. T did tell some man not long ago that Holseberg would not convict, because it seemed to tickle the man to have me talk that way
 A A. Moore and Earl Rogers, of the defense. resisted the challenge and Heney replied for the prosecution. As Holseberg left the box, he advanced to Heney's seat and said: T have no bad feeling toward you, Heney- no feeling at all'
 The prosecutor thanked the juror and the regular interrogation of tales men was resumed. The trial was con- tinued until tomorrow.
 The sixteenth special venire of sixty citizens was ordered returned next Monday.

Mr.. Stewart declared that while the de-

whether the department could compel the

of the men who committed the robbery Of

Hatch escaped from the Fort Madison
penitentiary a week or so ago and all Of
forts to find him have been of no avail.
The theory is that he started west toward
his old stamping ground and found some
of his old friends in crime. Hatch is with
doubt in need of money, so It is rea-
sonable to suppose hat he would suggest
up a train as the quickest and
easiest way Of getting a start.

how he was trying to get rid OF the gun

officer seeing it in his ham fired at him

How much or little credence his story

change her testimony with regard to the
time Lowery drew his gun.
The argument today will be fervid, for
the state will urge the death penalty with
all its might and the defense will contend
there is a big doubt. at least, as
TO who fired first, Lowery or Masauredis.
