MAN WHO KILLED
CARNACK FOUND
SLAIN IN CREEK
Murder Mystery Sequel
to Shooting Former
Senator in 1908.

Nashville, Aug. 30.-Robin J. Coop
er, a Nashville attorney, whose trial
for the killing of Former United States
Senator Edward W Carmack during the
celebrated pistol duel between his ia
ther, Colonel d. B. Cooper and Car
mack, in 1908, attracted countrywide
attention, has been murdered here un-
der mysterious circumstances.
Cooper's body was taken from Rich
land creek, today, soon after his blood
stained automobile had been found on
a bridge near his home in the fashion
able Belle Meade park section The skull
had been crushed, but there were evil
duces that violent struggle had taken
place before the fatal blow was struck.
Had lust Drawn $4,000.
The coroner's inquest, late today, de-
yeloped no clues to the murderer or
murderess. but the police are proceed
ing on the theory that Cooper was
lured from his home by persons deter
mined to rob him. This theory is based
upon evidence that Cooper drew $4,000
from q bank short time before he dis
appeared, Thursday night.
The authorities assume that the young
lawyer was lurcd from his home to the
secluded bridge over the creek and there
killed. The condition of his clothing in
dicated he had been dragged some dis
tance before he was thrown into the
water. Physicians said the small amount
of water found in the lungs was evidence
that Cooper was dead when dropped into
the creek.
Pocketbook Found Empty.
Mrs. Cooper. who is daughter of
Milton II. Smith, president of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad. has been
visiting relatives in Louisville. and her
absence accounts for the fact that the
of her husband did not
become known until today.
There was no evidence that the Cooper
home had been 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
was found in the bottom of the auto
mobile
Governor Roberts has offered re
ward of $500 for the arrest and eonvc-
ton of the murderers of the lawyer.

Senate Bill Provides :.
Old Central Time for
State After Aug. 81

Under the provisions of a bill

The measure in question was in g

1t is contended by some members !
of the legislature that the state has
no right or authority to legislate as
to the time to be observed. The
federal government, they say, has
iegislated on this matter in pass

state cannot supersede this action.
Under the present system cities in
various parts of the state observe,
a time which is in some instances
two hours faster than that observed
in other parts of the state. This
results in great inconvenience to the
