NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 49,
Mrs. f. w. Carmack, widow of formei
United States Senator f. w. Carmacb
said Thursday following the acquit-
tai of Robin Cooper of the killing OF
her husband:
81 was astounded at the outrage
perpetrated in the Criminal Court of
Davidson county Tuesday, when the
Acknowledgement, with the consent of
the Judge, had a verdict of mot gull
ty' entered as to Robin Cooper and
allowed the other assassin of my hus
band to go unwhipt of justice.
81 had been in frequent communi-
cation with some of the lawyers who
assisted the State on the first trial.
and only about 10 days ago Mr.. Fitz-
hugh was at my home to see me in
reference to the case against Robin
Cooper, and | was assured by him
and by other counsel in the case that
nothing would be done in the ease on
the 10Th; that no jurors had been
drawn, no witnesses on either side
subpoenaed, and no sort of prepara-
ton by either side was being made to
try the case this month.
"The announcement IN Nashville
papers that the case would be post
pOned confirmed this statement and
| rested under the assurance that IA
little later on a conference of the
States counsel would be held and an
other day set for the trial.
"Thee Acknowledgement was well
aware, that he could and wquld have
the assistance of the same counsel
who appeared for the State in the
first trial, or by easy communication
with some of them he could have as
certained that fact. Both of the de-
PENDANTS were convicted of the muir
