COL. COOPER FREED.
Convicted Slayer of Senator
Carmack Pardoned.
ANOTHER TRIAL FOR ROBIN
Governor Declares That Col. Cooper
Did Not Fire Shot and Should
Not Have Been Found Guilty.

NASHVILLE. April 14.-Almost stimuli
taneously Col Duncan B. Cooper, con-
victed OF Staying former United States
Senator E ". Carmack in a Nashville
street year and a half ago Yesterday
had his sentence of twenty years i'm
prisonment confirmed by the supreme
court and was granted a full pardon by
Gov. Patterson. He is free man, and it
is the general opinion that, although the
court remanded for retrial his SON Rob-
il. convicted for the same crime, the case
Tit never come into court
Gov. Patterson's Reasons.
Gov. Patterson gave the following rea-
sons for his action:
Being thoroughly familiar with the
record, having read all the testimony and
testified to certain facts within nv per-
sonal knowledge, It is neither desirable
nor necessary to delay action for petit
lions to be presented asking executive
clemency In my opinion neither Of the
defendants is guilty, and they have not
had fair and impartial trial, but were
convicted contrary - the law and evil
denne. The action Of the supreme court

proof showed that Robin Cooper killed
the deceased, and d. 3. Cooper did not
fire 2 shot Without reflection uDon the
court, it is inconceivable to my mind end
repusnant to every principle Of Justice
that nan should bn found guilty of
murder who was not in { conspiracy to
kill and who, in fact, did rot kill
Col. Cooper Congratulated.
Col. Cooper was still at the capito.
when the pardon was entered in the
secretary of states office. He was i'm
mediately surrounded by friends seeking
to congratulate him. The reversal in his
sons case seemed to please him to the
exclusion of his own freedom
Il wanted Robins vindication more
than l wanted a pardon" was his re-
mark when told of the governors ac-
tion. Leaving the crowd he entered a
carriage and, accompanied by Marshal
Robert Marshall, was driven to the
county Jail. where formalities in connec-
ton with the pardon were gone through
with. Then he was released Robin
Cooper is under a $4,000 bond
The sentiment generally has been in
favor of a pardon. although there has
heen more sympathy for the son than
the father. The courtroom was packed

PROSPERITY IN SIGHT,

New York. ain. S.-The first week
of the year witnessed considerable
liquidation in the stock market This
must be attributed to dearer money
TO undue apprehensions regarding
President Taft's coming message, to
the taking of profits by insiders ON

advances, to unsettled markets abroad
and to the anticipation of important
new security issues; not to mention

market has already received consider,
able assistance by means of borrow

there will tend to alleviate temporary

however, has been made somewhat
distrustful of American securities by
the Rock Island affair, which created
a worse impression there than here,
although in this market the effect has
not yet disappeared. At this writing
President Tai's ideas for railroad

also q number of minor proposals Of
more or less merit, including a com
merce court and federal incOrpoIa-
ton law. In the main, the objects
of President Taft are meritoriOus
