The speaker laid special stress upon the social standing and breeding ot the defendants and declared that men of such families' killed only 'In de fense of life or honor. His speech was a masterpiece of oratory and had a noticeable effect upon the Jury. . General Washington, speaking 01 the effect of the Car mack editoriola, said: -'.

General Washington took the re volver and Showed the Jury how hard It would be fonCooper to shoot Colonel Cooper saw In Craig s eyes thdt thete was danger: that Carmack was in an ugly-mood. 80 he armed himself and if he- had not done so he would be in his grave .today. ' Corrects Himself. General Washington, saw his error here the defense's contention being that Colonel Cooper oever even drew his gun until the shooting was over and he said: Tf Robin Cooper had not armed himself they would both be dead to day." General 'Washington then reaa tne statement of Mtes Lee glvkeg the pro fanity She said she heard Cooper use about Carmack. prefacing the reading with the remark: "I thought we were going, to hear something awful but sn she wrote was General Washington repeated the nrofanltv as though the women of Nashville were wont to hear It dally. The epithets used Included the most vile that one man can apply to an other. . That's all, gentlemen, that she says she heard," said Washington. The speaker argued that all the fear expressed by Mrs. Burch because her father was armed, was because he was so pacific. He claimed that Robin's alarm was due to) his knowl edge of hla father's crippled hand and his consequent inability to protect himself. He claimed Mrs. Burch ex aggerated the' trouble and placed a construction upon rt not .warranted by Colonel Cooper's language or Inten tions. He argued that Mr. Lander by lett ing Carmack .about Cooper's threats "converted Carmack Into a stick of dynamite."

"Oh what has become of the' men of honor of NaehvUle. og the old gal lant blood, that attempt should be made to discredit such men as Brad ford and Browa. than whom no more honorable, better bred ever lived."' He said Miss Lee was mistaken when she Impeached the testimony of these men. "And they bring a newsboy ncre and he swears he heard Colonel Coop er say to Robin We will get him.' or We will catch mm.' Tne ooy was mistaken. Robin had Just said he wanted a coca cola, and then the boy heard Coldnel Cooper We'll get it- Commenting on the State's failure tcm rrn rramlnft Governor Patterson Washington said: "The State didn't dare. : Even the bee martin .would not try." .; - " ' ' General -Washington attacked Gen eral McCarn for not putting into his case In chief evidence as to now &en etor Carmack got the revolver which he carried when he was shot. After the denunciation of McCarn, General Washington went back to the morning of the tragedy ana-startea In on the early morning - conference. Again 'he led up to the time of the hnntlnc. Continually he referred to PalaiMl Coooer as "the old soldier of the Confederacy.", "the grixaled hero of the lost cause," "the man who rode with Forrest and had passea ihrnnrh the hall of death and had seen his comrades fall like the leaves in autumn." He declared ' coioner Cooper proved his bravery when he walked over to meet eenaior mack, who was much younger, much larger, and In the prime of life. h dldnt know that Lander, had emptied a ladle of hot lead Into Car mack "s ear. - Ana kodib oran 1 it He knew this old soldiar of tlu.
