THE DEFENSE RESTS
ITS CASE IN CHIEF
(OwOnH From Pas* Oue.)
Glasgow again describe the bullet
wound* but omit mention of those
made tar the undertaker. He was not
•row-examined.
Dr. Dunean Eve. one of Nashville'*
Burgeon* of thirty-five year* practice,
wa* then called. The wounds de
aorlbed by Dr. Glasgow were related
/ to Dr. JEve and he was asked If the
gounds so described were fatal.
“If the first wound described—the
doe In the laft side—did not kill him
St onoe and fell him Instantly. he
wound be prostrated at once by the
ahoek and would soon die."
The second wound, also through the
Bide, was described. The* doctor said:
"It was mortal."
“If a person standing up received
those two wounds one right after the
Other, what would you expect?"
“Instantaneous death.”
"But suppose those two wound*
ware followed by a third through
the spinal cord near the base of the
akull—tp. that wound fatalV
"Instantaneously. It Is the most
fatal Wound a man could receive."
"If a man received this -Wound what
Woald happen?” »
‘All reflexes would be absent and he
Would fall dead Instantly.”
“Do you know Robin Cooper?"

Wps shot and took charge of the
patient. I opened tl>e wound and ex
amined It, then prjtfSed an inch and a
half when the pr/be was arrested. We
dilated the w^Und and Irrigated It,
packed It”
“What >nade that wound?”
"A missile from a weapon”
"Did you And a ball?”
"No,. air, I didn't expect to for I
bad Information that the ball was
found In Robin’s bed.”
“Explain how that ball got out of
the wound."
"Well, there's only one explanation.
It Worked out. It is an oblique wound
and therefore larger than if the ball
went in directly. Robin's face, neck
and left shoulder were powder burn
ed The bullet was Imbedded In a
muscle which would move every time
the ahoulder, arm and head were mov
ed. This would tend to move the bul
let and the large size of the wound
Would make It easy for It to work <bt
Along the line of least resistance.”
Course of • Bullet.
“Dr. Bve examined Robin’s clothing
and explained the course of the bul
let. He also described how he removed

man's face and neck If the wound

Keep Bowels
Open; Free
There I* no function of the human
body »o Important as keeping the bow
els open. Upon the condition of the
bowels, more than upon any other one
thing, depends the health and well-be
ing of the entire system. There Is
scarcely a sickness that has not got
constipation and stomach trouble com
plicated with It. It is at the bottom
of most of the serious diseases of life.
Bvery grown up human being ought
to have at least one full and easy
evacuation of the bowels every 24
hours. But unfortunately there are
thousands who do not see this, i No
matter what Is the Mature or cause
pf their constipation, and no matter
-Wow chronic and long-standing it la,
will not find a better cure than
W18 Vwellknown Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
PepMn. So confident are the dispensers
of this wonderful laxative that It will
cure any ease of constipation In young
sr old. that they will send a free test
bottle bo anyone who sends name and
address to Dr. Caldwell.
The sample will do for any consti
pated person what It did for Mrs. W.
D. Puller, of Eaton Rapids, Mich,, for
Mr. J. P. Edwards, of Lebanon, Tenn.,
and a host of others In all sections
of the country. After having used
the sample they will do as M'rs. Fuller
and Mr. Edwards did. which Is to go to
tHfe nearest drug store and buy a reg
ular bootle, which costs EO cents of
|1. according to the stxe. Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin Is not a tablet or
powder, but a liquid
laxative tonic.
which Is what a good constipation re
medy should be. Jhousanas who once
aent for the free test bottle now have
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin regularly
In the house. It Is the most scientific
blending of laxative Ingredients ever
put h*-eore the world.

Again the State reserved the right
to cross-examine and the defense call
ed Adjutant Generally Tully Brown.
General Brown said he Was a member
of the bar. adjutant general of the
State and formerly United States dis
trict attorney. He visited J. C. Brad
ford's office the afternoon of the trag
edy at Bradford’s request to keep a
note Colonel Cooper had written from
being sent to Senator Carmack. %
"■Who did you find there when you
arrived?"
"Bradfleld and Colonel Cooper.”
"How long did the conference last.”
“About half an hour."
"What was Its result?”
“Colonel Cooper agreed nof to send
the note.”
"Anything else to be done?”
"Mr. Bradford was to send some one
to see Senator Carmack and adjust
the trouble.”
"What else?”
"Why, I wetnt out of Bradford’s of
fice to look for Colonel Cooper, who
was wanted on the 'phone. I found
him In Robin's office. The Governor
wanted to see him In twenty-five min
utes. Colonel Cooper waited until
time to go to the mansion. Robin
wanted to go with hla father but the
colonel objected and said there was
no necessity."
"What did you doT’
“I sat there and discussed Italian
literature”
”I>o you object?" said the court.
“We do." said General McCarn.
"Well, we were talking when the
phone bell rang. Bradford answered,
I saw his face, grow white and he said
'My God.' I asked him what It was
and be said Senator Carmack had shot
Robin and that Robin had killed Car
mack.”
"That's all. cross-examine.”
“Stand aside. General," said Attorney
General McCarn.
"Call J. C. Bradford.”
Bradford a Witness.
The witness took the chair and told
of his thirty years law experience, his
relationship to Colonel Cooper—they
married sisters—and his relations with
Robin. He to^l how Governor Patter
son phoned fof him the morning of the
tragedy and how he went to the Max
well House where he found Colonel
Cooper, the Governor and Robin.
"I looked at the note, colonel Coop
er had written to Senator Carmack and
I told Colonel Cooper—"
"Never mind the words. What was
the result?”
“I took the note and agreed to send
a friend to see Senator Carmack—to
send Colonel Shook, a close friend of
both of us—to urge a peaceful settle
ment!”
“What became of the note?
"I do not know, It Is missing. I made
a copy of the note for an American re
porter and put the original with our
papers. It Is lost.'"
The defense offered the copy that
was published In The American, but
tile State objected The court admit
ted the copy, which was a sharp not*
claiming the writer was a private clt
ilzen and not a subject for attack or
criticism.
The witness detailed the conference
in his office at 3 p. m., Just as Colonel
Cooper and General Brown had done,
told of the result and how the Colonel
and Robin had started for the Gover
nor's mansion.
Mr. Bradford reached the point where
♦he phone rang after the tragedy.
"I picked up the phone and heard
Colonel Cooper say: Js that you Jim
Bradford.’ I said ’’Yet,’ and the Colo
nel said: Carmack has shot Robin and
Robin has killed Carmack.’ I com
municated the news to General Brown.
We started out. I stopped to tell_ Miss
Lee and Mr. Hayden, then went on up
to the Maxwell House corner."
"You recognized Colonel Cooper's
voice over the phone?"
"I di^."
"Were you expecting a phone mes
sage from Colonel Cooper?”
"I was not."
"Did you answer the phone often?"
"Quite as often as Miss Lee did. She
was very busy. I oould hear the bell
ring and very often answered It.”
Supporter of Carmack.
'Was Robin Cooper personally ac
quainted jiMth Senator Carmack?"
"He was. Robin had been In my of
fice for nine years and Senator Car
mack came to my ofllce frequently, as
I was one of his supporters. He paid
frequent social calls and Robin met and
talked to him often.”
Attorney General McCarn asked
Judge Bradford about his corporation
practice^ and whether or not he was
cotinsel for The Nashville American.
He said he was, also a stockholder Jn
the latter.
The court ruled out a question as to
the relations between The American
and Tennesseean, but permitted Brad
ford to say he had no unfriendly rela
tions with Carmack. He had support
ed the Senator against Governor Tay
lor and contributed money to the fund.
“Did you not hate Carmack and didn't
you often express It?"
"No sir.”
"Did you express hatred for Carmack

"I certainly believe In the boy’a In
noncenoe and probably aald I would
take him on my arm and carry him
through. Whether I aald It or not. I
propose to do It”
The attorney general returned to the
conference but Judge Bradford said:
(Explains Press Statement.
"General, before you get away from
that press statement I want to ex
plain. As soon as I got to the station
that night, I vft-ote In my owrf hand
writing what I personally knew of the
trouble and gave It to Mr. Ewing. He
had other memoranda he had secured
from other sourcea. He was to put
them all together.”
"And some of these notes were about
facts about which you knew nothing?"
“Oh yea.”
"But they were used with yours?”
"I do not know. I never read the
statement."
"Who else prepared note*?*’
"Mr. MeConnlco, I believe.”
The attorney general returned to the
conference In Bradford's office before
the killing. The defense Interrupted
fo recall General Brown and ask If he
noted anything unusual In Robin’s
manner as he left the office the after
noon Just before the shooting. He did
not. Neither did Judge Bradford.
Bradford denied that he ever wrote
a detailed statement of the tragedy and
sent It out to friends. He did prepare
a brief or synopsis of the defense’s
theory of the tragedy for counsel’s own
use.
Attorney General McCarn reverted
again and again to the composite
statement prepared at the police sta
tion for the" press the night of the
tragedy, but the witness denied having
any part In It outside of his own con
tribution of such facts as he knew per
sonally.
"Didn’t you. Instead of trying to
keep Colonel Cooper from sending that
note, tell several men you were going
to deliver It to Carmack In person for
the colonel ?”>
"I never did."
"when did you learn that Colonel
Cooper was armed?"
"In Dr. Fort's Infirmary."
"And Robin?”
"I learned he was arqted there also.”
"Did you see the revdlver then?”
“Colonel Cooper's, not Robin’s."
“That Is all." said McCarn.
The defense had no further questions
so court adjourned until 2 p. m.
In order to save time, the State
and defense got together ' Immediately
after luncheon and agreed upon a
statement of facts as to the plat of
the vicinity of the crime, the dis
tances and measurements.

last time before the day of the mur

The witness was Introduced solely
to corroborate Bennlng on tlWs point.
Hill was not cross examined and
when he was excused the defense
asked time for counsel to confer.
The attorneys were gone for nearly
an hour and upon their return Judge
Anderson said:
"The defense rests its case."
Then General Washington, for the
defense, said:
"If it. please the court, the State
has claimed the right to cross-exam
ine some of our witnesses later. Now,
we insist that they cross examine
before our case in chief is closed. Of
course, should this cross-examination
develop something new, we reserve the
right to Introduce new witnesses on
the new testimony. Consequently, we
rest only in view of the State’s at
titude that it will not question our
witnesses further.”
"If we cross examine,” tsaid Attorney
General >{cCarn, "we will do so before
we begin our case in rebuttal. We
will not retire for a conference."
“This seems to be conference day,”
remarked the court.

"We will want to cross examine sev

"I granted the defense a continu

do the same for the State.”
“The defense reserves the right to

Anderson, "so our resting our case is

Washington, March 1,—(8peclal.ll—A
filibuster was. started f,oday in the

Some of the Southern Senators are
violently opposed to the measure be
cause It revived certain legislation,
they claim, that caused the contentions
of the reconstruction era. Several from
other flections who would like to see
the bill fall, object to the provisions it
contains to stop the shipment of C. O.
D. packages of liquors to prohibition
States and counties, and others who
are lighting It see no reason for what
they call such a cumbersome piece of
legislation.
Talk about the Cbpitol today was to
the effect that President Roosevelt al

sundry civil bill unlens the law makers
will consent to restore certain things
he la strongly In favor of, viz., longev

secret service system And several com
missioners that have not been provided
for.
The feellhg among Congressmen gen

no particular harm, as it can be passed
early In the extra session.

been the leader of several other strikes.
Subsequent to the govrnment nego

the employes of one firm on a sympa

submit all disputes to aibitration for
a period of two years.
Governor General fe’mith then Inter

of the strike and bv loaning the gov

names of the other donors have not
been made public.
While the coat of the string of dia

thirty-four are graduated down to
