fired at him to save my own life. 1 be
lieed I avus in danger of death at hid

Cooper, for the first time Saturday de
scribed the killing of his father's enemy
in the streets of Nashville lsit Novem
ber. For four hours, under the skilful
guidance of his senior counsel, Mack
Anderson, ltobiu Cooper lecited his ver
sion of the events of the fatal day,
from the moment that his father en
tered his office in tho morning and told
him that he had warned Carmack if the
editorial assaults on him (Col. Cooper)
Avere continued thu town was not big
enough for both, through bib frantic
search for his father, Avlten he thought
he hud met Carmack, to his arming him
self and going out to locate his parent,
through the .scenes of the shooting and
down to his depaiture for the doctor's
office, leuA ing thu brilliant Carmack be
hind, a corpse in the gutter of the
btreet on Avhich ho lived.
And through his entire story his fa
vorite sister, Mrs. Lucotta Hurcli, avIio
hits been a tower of stiength to this
young man, sat avcII Aitliin the range
of his eyes, leaning far foiward in her
chair and following his every motion
and giving him every support possible.
Wrapped up in her brother, this young
matron has never left his side since his
first arraignment, and site gave him vis
ible sympathy and support, nnd when,
late in the afternoon couit avus finally
adjourned until Monday, she hurried
Aith him to his preson cell, tenderly
supporting him and whispering that, now
his story Aas told, he "must boon bo
fiee."
Young Cooper's Story.
Young Cooper toltl of leaving the of
fice Avitli his father in the afternoon af
ter he had finally located him. They
Avalked through this streets, he said,
meeting John 11. Sharp In lite Aicade.
Sharp Avas going up toward l!ov. Pat
terson's house, and Aalked along Aith
them toward Seventh avenue. Doing
up the hill the incline told on the col
onel, and ho dropped back about twenty
feet, Rubin and Sharp proceeding arm in
arm ahead. '
Koacbing Seventh avenue, ltobin look
ed down the street and saw Cannaek
coming.
"1 turned to Sharp and said, 'Here
comes the senator now. Don't let papa
see him.' I caught my father by the
arm and said, 'Come on, dad; let us hur
ry over to the mansion.'
"Jle looked at me and liemuiulod wiiat
the hurry amis. Then he looked duAvn
the street, lie saw the senator.
"isn't that Cm mack now?' ho asked
me, and without wailing ror a leply,
continued, '1 will go on oor mid speak
to him.'
"I asked him not to go, but he
brushed my hand aside, and started
down the street. 'I know Senator Car
mack nntl he knows me,' he said to me
us ho started, 'and tlieic will be no
trouble.' As he Avent down the street I
Aiulked diagonally across tho street to
ward him and Carmack. When papa
stopped it occurred to mo that Carmack
had just left Mrs. Eastman and Avas put
ting his hat back on his head.
Says Carmack Drew First.
"Papa stopped and said, 'Senator Car
mack ' but at tho instant he spoke
Carmack iIicav his pistol, it paralyzed
me for an instant, and then I rushed
intuitively toward tho tolograplf pole
against which Carmack was backing.
"As I ruehed between them Curmaok'n
pibtol exploded in my face and a shot
hit mo in the neck. A second struck my
left coat sleeve, and I s.iav Carmack
standing sideways, but facing me, his
pistol aimed at me. I Jrew my lovolver
nnd fired thiee times as fast as 1 could,
then I btopped. Senator Curmaek'n
knees seemed to give Avay. Ho icelcd
und fell toward the gutter.
"I heard father say something about a
coward hiding behind a Avoiuniis' skirts
after Cm mack had drawn his pistol, I
avus under a terrific nervous strain, but
I am certain up to that time father had
not driuvn a pistol, l'athor did not saj,
'Now I have you,' or 'I've got the drop
on you.' After 1 had fired I leaned
against the telegraph pole. I told father
I was wounded. As ac Ayero leaving
for the doctor 1 suav Mrs. Eastman und
an old man buck up on tho yard of tho
Polk Hats."
Ilobin Cooper denied he hud ever
cursed Carmack. "I only know him by
sight," he said, "and hud no rial uu
fiieadly feelings toAvurd him."
