Blood Stained Automobile on
Bridge Leads Searchers to
Drag Creek and Find Body
of Nashville Lawyer,
(By Tho Associated Press.)

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. 30
The body OF Robin ]. Cooper. promi-
nent lawyer of Nashville, who in 1903
killed Former Senator Edward w
Carnaok, was found today in Rich
land Creek in Belle Meade park,
about kU yard, below a bridge on
which his deserted, blood spat,ered
automobile had been found. Mr..
Cooper's body showed bullet wounds
and other marks OF violence.
"Mr. Cooper's skul was crushed
and the body showed other marks of
violence A preliminary examination
when the body was taken from the
water indicated that Cooper had been
shot through the head bu, j, developed
later that what was supposed to be a
bullet wound behind the ear was a
cut. There was also a bruisc on the
forehead As the body was taken from
the water the left ear bled profusely.
His coat was almost torn from the
body and the trousers were torn and
bore other evidences that the body had
been dragged over the rocks.
A more careful examination OF the
body revealed that the wound behind
his ear was a cut. Wound. about the
forehead indicated that the victim had
been severely dubbed. Death was
caused by a three Inch fracture Of the
skull. There was little water in the
lungs. indicating that the injuries oc-
cured before being thrown into the
water.
Governor Roberts has offered a re-
ward OF $500 for the arrest and CON
viction of the murderer or murderers.
The theory OF the police is that
Mr.. Cooper was murdered and
robbed and his body thrown into
Richland Creek. According TO w.
O. Farmer, the wcll-known turfman
and a neighbor OF Mr.. Cooper's in
Belle Meade park, Mr.. Cooper sew
eral days ago drew $4,000 from
local bank and il is supposed that
the murderer's becoming aware OF
this fact, enticed him from home
under the supposition that he would
have = considerable sum on his per-
son.

OF the speech was rought to the at

when K. T. Hemphill, secretary OF
the state fair, wired Scott Ferris to
inquire what the presidents attitude
on the admission question would be.
An answer is expected soon.

that he is in hearty accord with the
suggestion that the meeting be made
non partisan and that arrangements
for the presidents reception will be
upon that basis.

WASHINGTON, Aug. N.-Ask-
