DUNCAN COOPER IS
PARDONEO BY
PATTERSON
Governor 0verrides Tennessee
Supreme Court
SAYS TRIAL WAS UNFAIR
Father and Son Sentenced to 20
Years for Killing Ex-senator
Carmack

Nashville, April 14.-Col Duncan
b. Cooper, convicted of the murder of
United States Senator Carmack, was
pardoned yesterday by Gov. Patter-
son Immediately after the judgment
of the Supreme Court of Tennessee,
confirming his conviction and re-
handing for retrial the case of his
son, Robin Cooper, convicted with
him, was rendered Both men were
under sentence of twenty years. 1t
is freely predicted here that the re-
trial of Robin Cooper will never take
place.
The pardon has aroused Nashville
and Tennessee as nothing ever did
before. The most intense excitement
prevails throughout the city. All
through the afternoon and early part
Of the night the street corners, hotel
lobbies, and other places where
crowds usually congregate have been
the scenes of the most heated discus
sions.
The effect Of the pardon has been
to draw even tighter than before poll
teal lines in the State. Apparently
from discussions on the street not a
hundred persons in Nashville have
changed their views. Friends of the
Governor have a new standard to
rally about. and they are more loyal
and devoted than ever On the other
hand, the Governors opponents are
bitterer than before In their denunci-
alton of him and all OF those close to
him. They are aroused to pitch
that they have never reached before,
not even on the night OF the killing
Of Senator Carmack.
The political effect OF the pardon
will be decided in the November cleo
ton. The Governor has not yet an.
nounced his intentions. but II Is al
most certain that he will run for re-
election for third term. He will
not be opposed for the nomination,
the Observation-Disclosures element hav.
ing declined to go into the primary
called by the Democratic State Exc
cutive Committee for June 4. The
general impression seems to be that
the old alignments will hold
The governors reasons for grant
ing the pardon are as follows:
Being thoroughly familiar with
the record. having read all the testi
mony and testified to certain facts
within my personal knowledge, Il Is
neither desirable or necessary to de
lay action for petition to be presented
asking executive clemency.
In my opinion. neither OF the de
PENDANTS is guilty. They have no
had fair and impartial trial. bu
were convicted contrary to the Law
and evidence. The action OF the Su
preme court In vacating the judg
ment as to Robin Cooper. leaves tn,
sentence OF final conviction as to hi
co-defcndant. The proof showed tina
Robin Cooper killed the deceased an,
that ID. u. Cooper did not fire tn,
shot. Without reflection upon tn
court. II Is uncomfortable to my min,
and repugnant to every principle o
justice that man be found guilt
OF murder who was not In a conspIl
acy to kill and who in fact did no
kill"

MANCHESTER PONIES.

In Manchester's high school
ponies, a superb feature with
Nathan Brothers Railroad
Shows, which are dated to ap-
pear in Lumberton April, 10Th
one will find a small-sized Madi-
son Square Garden horse show,
such as yearly brings together
the wealth and fashion of this
country to go into ecstacies, and
also what has been acknowl-
edged to be one Of the greatest
collections of educated ponies that
ever pranced around a stage or
sawdust arena. There are
twelve of these ponies and their
education has reached a degree
of perfection. In fact, so per-
feet is the work of each sleek
looking beauty that one almost
momentarily expects the super
natural to happen and to hear
one of the little animals actually
talk. These twelve ponies have
created a sensation wherever
they have been seen and espe-
cially do the ladies and children
rave with delight as the ponies
-prance gracefully around with
their beautiful heads being toss
ed saucily from side to side while
their nimble little feet keep per-
feet time to a lively two-step or
dreamy waltz grandly played by
the big band with the shows.
The tricks performed by these
ponies are almost miraculous and
their feats are both new and
brilliant. A great feature is the
lnerry -go-round. 1t is something
novel and new and something
that taxes the understanding OF
a person as to how the ponies
were ever trained so that they
could perform such a remarka.
ole feat. Then there follows ir
quick succession drills, dances
frolicsome games such as leap
frog, football, etc., until the bis
canvas rings with the applause
of the audience; but above it al
can be heard the shrill erie:
of glee of the little folks, wht
never fail to appreciate the worl
of the little ponies and the pc
MES seem to be conceited Great

heads, kick their heels and dane

At the Orpheun1

Two distinct headline attractions
are billed for the Orpheum for the
coming week, commencing with the
Sunday matinee. Ida Fuller, the
originator of the great serpentine
and fire dances, is one of the stel-
lar attractions, while Arthur Dunn
and Marie Glazier, in pretty mus
ical playlet, is the other.
Miss Fuller is one of the greatest
dancers on the vaudeville stage to-
day and her volcano dances and
beautiful fire dances have won her
the highest of praises. She is the
inventor of most of the light effects
used in her act and has been forced
to bring dozens of suits in the
courts to protect her rights. /, r.
Arthur Dunn and Marie Glazier
need no introduction to vaudeville
audiences for this diminutive COM
edian and his charming associate

comic operas. Mr.. Dunn visited

international fame is on the bill in

At the Panfaqes

For the week commencing with
Sunday matinee, February 10,
Manager Walker of the Pantages
, announces one of the best shows
. of the season headed by the five
Borsinis troupe, Europe's most
wonderful globe act. The act con-
/, sists of tumbling, acrobatic equili-
brists, juggling and contortion
work, all done on the rolling globes.
Poettingers Swedish quintet of
singers and dancers is another big
feature. Each member possesses
a very pleasing voice with the so
prano the favorite. Dressed in
native costumes and direct from
the land of the midnight sun with
special scenery and electrical eff
fects this will without a doubt be
one of the most pleasing numbers
on the Pantages stage for some
time.
Something distinctively new in
vaudeville dramas is David Gar
rick Jr." 1t is truly drama with
sufficient comedy and splendidly
staged. Of all the elements which
lend dramatic interest to history
there are none so appealing as the
love experiences of the men ana
women whose names have come
down to us as reminders of some
notable achievement.
The two Colemans, gold medal
hanjoists." Both members have a
pleasing stage appearance and
their work is of the highest order.
F. Artusa, German equilibrist.
His balancing in difficult poses
while balancing a lighted lamp on
his head is exceptionally clever
and compares favorably with any
act of it's kind ever seen in Spo-
kane.
William D. ellison will render
one of his favorite melodies, and as
usual the Pantascope will close the
bill.
