any manner. He stands five feet
two inches in height and weighs
about 120 pounds, being Of Slight
built. His hair is black, with very
few gray hairs; eyes light blue, brows
heavy and black; teeth regular, with
gold filling in upper left eye tooth

defective teeth OH right side Of upper

set well back in head.
Mr.. Morris's intention was to find
suitable location in which to enter

CARNiACK's SLAYER MURDERED.
Mystery ShrOuds Foul Murder of
Nashville ATTORNEY.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 30.-Robin
j. Cooper, Nashville attorney.
whose trial for the killing Of former
United States Senator Edward w.
Carmack during the celebrated pis-
tol duel between his father. Col. d.
Cooper and Carmack, in 1908, at
tracted countrywide attention, has
been murdered here under mysteri-
GUS circumstance.
Cooper's body was taken from
Richland creek to-day soon after his
blood-stained automobile had been
found on bridge near his home in
the fashionable Belle Meade Park
section. The skull had been crushed,
but there ware evidences that vio-
lent struggle had taken place be-
fore the fatal blow was struck.
A coroner's inquest late to-day
developed no clues to the murderer
or murderers, but the police are
proceeding on the theory that Cooper
was lured from his home by persons
determined to rob him. This theory
is based largely upon evidence that
Cooper drew $4,000 from bank
short time before he disappeared
last Thursday night.
Ltlred from Home.
The authorities assume that the
young lawyer was lured from his
home to the secluded bridge over
the creek and there done to death.
The condition Of his clothing indi-
Gated that he had been dragged some
distance before he was thrown into
the water. Physicians who ex-
amined the body said the small
amount Of water found in the lungs
hof
when dropped into the creek.
Mrs. Cooper, who Is daughter Of
Milton J. Smith, president Of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad,
has been visiting relatives in Louis
vile, KY, and her absence accounts
for the fact that the disappearance
Of her husband did not become
known until to-day.
There was no evidence that the
Cooper home had bee.l robbed after
the murder, and some doubt has
been expressed that the smurderers
could have expected that the lawyer
would nave any great sum on his
person. His empty pocketbook,
however, was found in the bottom
Of the automobile
Governor Roberts has offered n
reward Of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the murderers of the
lawyer. This was later supple
mented by the offer of a similar
amount by the family The police
admit that they have nothing on
which to work in solving the mys-
terry.
The Carmack tragedy, the most
notable in the history of Tennessee,
grew out Of the Carmack- Pa atterson
race for Governor in 1908, in which
Col. d. B. Cooper, father Of Robin
j. Cooper, was one of Patterson
closest advisers.
In the fatal encounter, which oc-
Cured on an uptown street of Nash
vile November 8, 1901, the son fred
the shot which ended Carmack's life
and in the shooting was himself
wounded.
Father and son were convicted of
murder in the second degree in the
lower court, but on the appeal of
the case to the supreme court, the
verdict was reversed as 10 the son,
the judges standing 3 to 2. The
verdict as to Col. Cooper was sus-
tanned 3 to 2, but before leaving the
capitol the father was pardOned by
Governor Patterson.
The case against Robin j. Cooper,
when it came up again in the David
son county criminal court was
dropped.
