CAlsMACK's SLAYER MuRpERED.
Mystery ShrOuds Foul Murder of
Nashville Attorney.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 3O.-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 murdereTs, but the poll. are
proceeding OH 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.
Lurcd 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 eA-
amined the body said the small
amount Of water found in the lungs
was evidence that Cooper was dead
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 bce:i robbed after
the murder, and some doubt has
been expressed that the murderers
could have expected that the lawyer
would have any great sum on his
person. His empty pocketbook,
however, was found in the bottom
Of the automobile.
Governor Roberts has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the murderers Of the
lawyer. This was later supple
mented by the offer of 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 tterson
race for Governor in 1908, in which
Col. d. b. Cooper, father of Robin
j. Cooper, was one Of Patterson s
closest advisers.
In the fatal encounter, which oc-
CURED on an uptown street of Nash
vile November 8, 1901, the son fired
the shot which ended Carmack's life
and in the shooting was himself
wounded.
Father and son we're 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 to Q. The
verdict as to Col. Cooper was sus-
tanned 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.

FINE LECTURE
GIVEN SUNDAY
Hon. J. w. Bell Tells of Experience.
In Ita1y-Mrs. Marion Aldridge
Renders Solos.

One of the most interesting ant
profitable lectures, which has bee,
given in Greenwood in many month.
lnterspersed with good music, wa,
the one rendered yesterday Afternoon
at the Memorial Building, when Hon
j. W. Bel! Of Oxford, spoke to an au:
dience of Leflore citizens. Mrs. Mar.
ion A.dridge, talented and popular
soloist, rendered number of selec-
tlons. Mrs. Aldridge has sung at
many cantonments throughout the
United States and is universal fav-
orite with the soldier BOYS.
Mr. Bell served with the American
Expeditionary Forces in France and
spoke on the subject of Italy.
He described the part of the coun-
try that was in the war area, telling
OF the two great mountain ranges.
and the valleys where most of the
fighting was done. He told briefly of
the Caporetto disaster, and the chief
causes that brought it about, and ex-
plalned the reason of the lowered
morale of the army at that time due
to lack of food, and encouragement.
The health and sanitary conditions
were discussed, and the present
status OF the country relative to it's
political and economic situation.
A clear insight was given of the
work Of the Y. M. C. A. in assisting
n restoring the morale of the enemy. !:
and the various >work that was done
~ that organization.
At the close Of the lecture, Mrs. !;
Aldridge rendered an unusually in /
eresting program, consisting of six
numbers. The most pleasing, of this
splendid musical program, was the
endition of "The Americans Have
1ome.' She was accompanied on the
'iano by Mrs. C. R. Prosser.

LONDON, May 5-Yankee enter

contract, although two British firms
asked for it, and protests have been
SO numerous that the municipal gov

/ One of the British bidders, it was
explained, agreed to be9shs delivering
fifty tons week in. Arrbut would
not consent to penalty ause for
non-delivery; the other promised
1900 tons within twenty wsbs<s. The
firm in the United States agreed to
complete delivery lby the end Of May

Newcastle, with the possible excep-i
ton that the purchase by the city
corporation of street railways rails
made in the United States was be-
cause Birmingham thus got better
rails than if the British product had
been used.
Councilman Lee, called upon in the
city council to explain the purchase,
said rails recently supplied by Brit
lsh manufacturers had not been equal
to the committees standard, the lfeI
ct such rails being five years instead
Of the normal lie of fifteen years. i,
Alderman Bewiay declared this
statement reflected on the British
steel industry; and another member .
recalled that rule of the council
forbade the plac:ne of an order with
foreign concern when the value vae
aore than $1,000.
The controversy ended when a res
luton was adopted approving the j
of American rails but re-, i
ninding the committee of the exist !
