interests of this great commonwealth, I"
Goverdor Patterson declined to give
out any statement whatever, other
than the party record itself.

THREE MEMBERS DISSENT
And Elaborate Opinion Is Prepared
by Justice John K. Shields
for the Majority
Special Telegram to The Comet,

Special Telegram to The Comet.
Nashville, Tenn, App, 13.-The
case, after its hearing, was assigned to
Ohief Justice Beard to write the opin-
ion of the court. A week ago, after
the other members of the court had
carefully examined this opinion and
majority of the justices had disagreed
with its finding in toto or in part, to
Justice Shields was assigned the duty
of writing the opinion of the majority
of the court. Justice Bell concurred
entirely in the opinion of the chief
Justice and Justice McAlister concur
red in that part of it that related ex-
clusively to Robin Cooper.
The opinion itself was one of the
most powerful ever handed down in
Tennessee's highest court. First, the
chief Justice took up the facts, and af-
ter an elaborate review, concluded that
the verdict of the jury had not been
reached without errors that were seri-
Gus and prejudicial to the rights OF the
defendants.
Then the various others of the re-
naming twenty-one assignments OF
errors were taken up in detail and
thoroughly dealt with. One OF the
strongest portions of that part oil the
opinion that related to the facts was
that utterly discrediting the testimony
of Miss Daisy Lee. AS to Mrs. East
man the dissenting Justices were salts
fled that she, without any intent to
misstate the facts in any. way, had &C
tually failed to see the great part OF
what actually happened at the scene
of the tragedy and had been misled by
her excitement as to other facts.
The opinion held that the court be-
low had undoubtedly erred in charging
the jury, in unduly limiting the right
of self defense as to both defendants,
and in charging the jury as to the ef'
feet of their crossing the street to meet
Senator Carmack. 1t was held that
while it was an inconsiderate act upon
the part of Col. Cooper, yet he had the
right to cross and have a talk with
Senator Carmack. The court was also
held to have erred in permitting the
cross examination of Col. Cooper as tc
his administration of the office of clerk
and master of Maury county; that he
erred in excluding the testimony OF
Gov. Patterson; that he erred in per
hitting Robin Cooper TO be cross ex
amined as to why certain witness
would preiure themselves in testifyine
against him.
4 Justice McAllister concurred in the
opinion as to five assignments OF error
those concerning the failure of thu
trial Judge to charge the jury as t.
Robin Coopers separate intent; as u
! mis- refusal to grant special requests o
, defendants along these lines rs to his
exclusion of certain parts of the testi
nony of Gov. Patterson, and as to hi
permitting the state to cross eNamln
; Robin Cooper rs; to why witnesse
would prejure themselves in testifyinl
lgainst him.

had fair and impartial trial, but
were convicted contrary to the law
and evidence. The action of the SUI
preme court in vacating the judgment
as 20 Robin Cooper leaves the sentence
of final conviction as to his co-defend-
ant. The proof showed that Robin
Cooper killed the,deceaseG and that ID.
b. Cooper did not fire a shot. With
out reflection upon the court it is in
conceivable to my mind and repugnant
to every principle of justice that man
should be found guilty of murder who
was not in conspiracy to kill and
who in fact did not KILL

JUSTICE SHIELDS
READS OPINION

that special portion of Judge Harris
charge to the jury included all the
defendants. This was fully cured in
the charge, according to the opinion
and was not error.
The third assignment of error was
directed to the fourth paragraph of
the judges charge relating to Emissions
of peace" and application of the law of
self-defense. No merit in the OBJECTION
say the opinion.
The fourth assignment of error was
the failure of the trial judge to define
what would have entitled the defend
ants to plea of self-defense. These
opinions state that the charge was
probably fuller on this question than
the plaintiffs in error were entitled to.
Various other assignments of error
were on the failure of the trial judge
to charge certain special requests OF
defendants, but all were held to have
been fully covered, except those that
were properly denied by the court.
The right of Robin Cooper for a
separate defense was overruled in the
opinion of Justices Shields and Neil
alone that one with others into diff

An Hour Before Sunrise on That

Washington, April 12.-Friday,
April Is, at 4:3O o'clock in the morn

it will be worth while trying to see
that tramp of the skies, HALEY S
comet, which is returning to the ken
of earth's inhabitants after an absence
of more than threescore years and ten.
This information was furnished today
by one of the skygazers at Georgetown
University Observatory.
During April and the early part of
May the comet will be visible in the
East before sunrise, a few degrees
north of East By May II it will be
too nearly in line with the sun to be
seen in the morning, but from then on
will appear in the West in the evening
as soon as it gets dark enough. On
May 20 it will set two hours after the
sun, with the interval growing longer
each night.
