Killed in Street Duel With At
torney at Nashville.
Tragedy It Sequel to Bitter Political
Fight in Tennessee and Direct Re
sult of Recent Editorials Aimed at
Father of Assailant.
Hon. Edward Carmack, former United
States senator from Tennessee, waB
shot and killed in n street duel at Nash'
vlllo by Robin Cooper, a young attor
ney. Young Cooper was wounded in
the shoulder by a bullel from Car
mack's revolver and is under police
surveillance) lu a local hospital. Ills
condition Is not serious. -Cannock
was wounded throe limes, in the neck,
the breast and left shoulder. Colonol
Duncan B. Cooper, father of the
younger man, was with his son during
the nffray, but did not fire a shot It is
said ho stood by with pistol in hand.
Ho is detained at police headquarters.
The direct cause of the killing Is a
recent series of editorials in tho Ten
nesscean, a dally paper, of which Mr.
Carmack becamo editor after his de
feat for the nomination for governor.
The editorials in question had been
vigorous ones in thoir commont on

C. M. MORGAN WILL RECOVER.
New York's Postmaster Nearly Victim
of Assassin, Who Kills Self.
Postmaster K.M. Mbrgnn of Now York
city, who was wounded in the abdo
men by a bullet fired by E. 11. 13.
Mackay, an eccentric English stenog
rapher, who then committed suicide,
is resting well and unless complica
tions develop, he will recover. Mr.
Morgan probably owes his life to the
quick wit and bravery of hla fourteen-year-old
daughter, Dorothy, who saw
Mackay draw his revolvor, and struck
it with her hand. This doCocted the
bullet, otherwise the postmaster would
have been fatally Wounded, for his as
sailant was at close rango and fired
four shots. Tho shooting occurred at
One Hundred and Forty-sixth street,
only a short distance from Mr Mor
gan's homo,
An investigation of tho life and rec
ord of Mackny reveals that he was of
a morbid nature and a former Inmate
of nu asylum in Worcester, Mass.
That his act was premeditated is made
certain by a lotter he left, but aside
from a fancied grievance against Mr.
Morgan and the postofflce authorities
concerning the handling of his mall,
nothing has come to light to indicate
why he should have sought to murder
tho postmaster.

WOMAN BLACKMAILER FOILED.
( Threatened Mrs. Phtpps With Death If
Denied $20,000.
Aftor haunting the residence at
Denver of her intended victim
for two days and making every effort
In overy way imaginable to get Into
communication with her, an unknown
woman who threatened' Mrs. Gene
vieve Chandler Phipps, divorced wife
of Lawrence Phipps, the Pittsburg
millionaire, with .death unless she was
given $20,000 in money, was foiled in
her design by the clover work of tho
bank and city detectives. When she
discovered she was beaten, the woman
cast dynamite sticks, Intended for Mrs.
Phipps, at tho detectives, but fortu
nately they fell against the uphol
stered wall of an enclosed automobile,
which prevented thom from exploding.
Tho woman was qulokly placed under
arrest. She persistently refused to
give her name, but insists that she is
under the influence of a hypnotist and
that this explains her attempt to
blackmail Mrs. Phipps.
The woman went about tho carrying
out of her plans with a determination
evidently born of desperation. She
had repeatedly telephoned the Phipps
homo and called there in an effort to
havo an audience with the well known
society leader. Finally Mrs. Phipps
becamo alarmed and went automobll
lng in City park to avoid the woman.
The woman evidently saw her leave
in the machine, for she attempted to
attract tho attention of Mrs. Phipps
as she was being driven along one of
the park driveways. She was stand
ing behind a tree at the time. Mrs.
Pripps ordered her chauffeur to con
tinue past the woman, but she leaped
from behind the tree and Into the
machine as it was going by. She
quickly engaged Mrs. Phipps in con
versation, assuring hor that her ap
parent fears wero entirely unneces
sary, that she wbb a magazine writer
and had no desire to do Injury to Mrs.
Phipps. Sho talked so kindly that
Mrs. Phipps became reassured and
they rode together for fifteen or twen
ty miles.
Suddenly the women produced two
sticks of dynamite and demanded that
Mrs. Phipps give her $20,000 within an
hour or she would be destroyed. She
directed that the nutomobllo be driven
to the Wolcott school and that Mrs.
Phipps' daughter be "taken along, this
evidently for the purpose of having
a hostage. Mrs. Phipps agreed to take
her to the bank and get the money,
whither the party headed, after stop
ping at the school to gat the little
daughter of Mrs. Phipps. Arriving at
tho bank, all but tho strange woman
left the machine. This evidently was
not intended in the program, but she
made no nrotest. Once inside the
'building Mrs. Phipps hurriedly related
her experience to a bank official, and
police headquarters were communicat
ed with. Two detectives hastened to
the bank. In the meantime a Bpeclal
bank detective haddetalned the wom
an In conversation from thb window of
the enclosed machine next the side
walk. The two city detectives detailed
walked around the rear of the machine
and slipped open the door on tho
street side. The woman saw that sho
was entrapped and dashed the dyna
mite sticks at the two officers. The '
struck against the machine and fell
to the floor Intact. Had they exploded
great a'amage and loss of life would
have resulted, for the scene is located
in the very heart of the city.
