LEGATION.
1t soon followed in book form, and
was read in every city of the English
speaking world. One million copies
were sold, so that Jean Webster, a

under Klaw and Erlanger manage
ment it Cleaned up" making hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for the

The part of Judy Abbott, the or

rights. These Miss Pickford pur-
chased recently for $4,000.

discovery today Of a plainly visible
bloodstsin fingerprint on the rear
right door of the automobile in which
Rob in J. Cooper, young Nashville at
torney, left his home in Belle Meade
Park last Thursday night shortly be-
fore he was murdered, police tonight
declare they were nearer solution
Of the mystery than at any time
since the body was found in Richland
creek Saturday morning.
Expert Bertillion operators have
been summoned from another cit,
which police refused to name in MAX
ing the announcement to examine the
fingerprint and other stains on the
car. Nashville newspapers dated
July 6, 7 and 10, of this year, found
in the automobile, also will be ex-
amined, police said, for fingerprints
and other possible clues. Chief de-
putty Robert A. Moore, who is in pos
session of the papers, said tonight
that he felt certain their scrutiny
would result in new developments
tomorrow.
In pursuance of the first theory
that. Cooper was killed by whiskey
blockade runners or Nashville boot
leggers, several alleged liquor sellers
not previously questioned were ex-
amined by the authorities today, but,
according to the police, without aid
inp in solving the mystery.
Police and detectives continued to-
night also to investigate the theory
that Cooper was slain by some per-
