COOPER TRIAL NEAR AN END
Argument Begins In Carmack Murder
Case at Nashville.
Arguments in the trial of Colonel D.
B. and Robin Cooper and John D.
Sharp for tho murdei of formor Seim
tor Carnmck bogan at Nashville, Teuu.,
Monday.
Many lawyers are engaged in the
case aud tho summing up will be loug
drawn out and, Judging fiom tho bit
terness which has characterized the
tuklng of testimony, they are likely to
bo broadly interesting, both in text
and fashion of delivery.
, It is probable that another arrest for
perjury will bo made upon authority
of Attorney General McCarn. This
time the accused will be a man of
prominence, whose testimony was con
tradicted by a half dozen people.
In the conclusion of the trial the
two points in the case which will be
the Bubject of attack and defense
will be tho questions who fired the first
shot and what were tho Coopers doing
on Seventh avenue, the street which
Senator Carmack had to traverse
about the time ho was wont to go to
his apartments. ,
Mrs. Chatles Eastman, who is the
only witness to thu shooting nslde from
tho principals, and over whose shoul
ders the shots were fired, has sworn
positively that Senator Carmack be
gan to fall from tho bullet wounds
which killed him before he had his re
volver fairly drawn.
