THE ASHEVIliLE CITIZEN THE WEATHEE FAIR Associated Press Leased Wire Reports. VOL. XXV. NO. 121. ASHEVILLE, N. 0., THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY, 18, 1909. PRICE FIVE CENTS. DAMNING EVIDENCE OF A CONSPIRACY TO MURDER Hard to Awaken THOUSANDS PERISHED IN AN EARTHQUAKE WHICH DEVASTATED PROVINCE CARMACK INTRODUCED Strong Case Made Out Against Coopers in Sec" oud Day of Trial CONFERENCE HELD BEFORE SHOOTING Feeling Grows More Bitter and Attorneys Barely Avoid Collisions. (By Aeaoolatea Preu.) NASHBiVimS, Tenn., Feb. 17. Marked by bitter contentions between attorneys and by new and startling testimony, the second day of the Cooper-Sharp trial for the murder of former Senator Carmack closed to night with the state highly elated and the defense visibly perturbed. The tension between the factions has tight ened visibly too. This Indicated in the court room by bitter passages between opposing counsel, and outside by more Bitter talk by partisans. While it wag clearly a field day for the prosecution It must be remembered that the tes timony was given by the state's wit nesses only, and that the defense is yet to be heard from. There were three star witnesses and all of them women. Miss Mary Skef fingtnn, the state librarian and a young woman of excellent standing socially, was the first. She told how on the day of the murder she left the state library and walked down Seventh avenue, and when within 200 feet of the scone of the shooting she met John Sharp, one of the defendants whom, she had known for ten or tw lve years. Just as she greeted him she heard three shots and asked Sharp what it meant. Without turning around to learn she says Sharp re plied: "That's Dune. Cooper shooting Ben elor Carmack." Kvltlence, of Oonsplrloy. By the second witness, Miss Palsy Lee, the state laid the foundation up . oa.aftlcrb, it viU baae Its contention that the slaying; of Carmack was the result of a conspiracy. Miss lye is a stenographer In the ofifce of James Bradford, one of the attorneys for the defense. Robin Ooopcr had his office with Bradford's law Arm. Miss Lee, trembling with fright and almost sick with worry, told how, on the day of the tragedy, when she arrived at the oflice. she found Colonel Cooper al ready there In conference with his son. She heard the colonel denounce Car mack for using his (Cooper's) name, and declare he had a right to protect himself. Later she heard Colonel Cooper apply to him (Carmack I epi thets so viie that she cried when or dered to repeat them. The court per mitted her to write them and when they were read . she covered her face with her hands. Miss Lee then told how at 3 p. m., there began a conference In Hrad ford'a ofMce between the two Coopers, lirarlford and Adjutant General Tulley Jlrown.t The conference lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon. When it broke tip anil the Coopers left to-, gether she said that there was a look of worry and trouble on the boy's face that she had never seen there before. Heard Over T'hone. Miss Lee's duty, among other things was to answer the telephone. There are desk extensions Into the private offices of the members of the firm. It was her custom to answer the tele phone and call by an electric button such members of the firm as were wanted. A half an hour nrter the Coopers left the office, the telephone rang and as usual. Miss Leo answered it. She heard a voice say: "Ts that you Jim?'' and heard At torney Bradford say "yes." She hung up the received, but not before she recognized the voice as that of Colonel Cooper. A moment later she heard Bradford say over the tel ephone: 1 "And did Robin kill him? Well. I'll be right up there." She Insisted that Bradford was not in the habit of answering the tele phone unless called by her. It ap peared to (be the intent of the state (Continued on page tlx.) GER0NIMO DIES IN PRISON FULL OF BITTER HATRED FOR WHITE MAN (By Atioclated Preti ) . LAWTON, Okla , Feb 17. Geronl tno, the noted Indian chief, died today at Fort Sill, where he had been con-1 fined as a prisoner of war for a num-! her of years. He died of pneumonia t the hospital at the army post. He was 86 years old. He will toe burled at the Indian cem etary near the Fort tomorrow by Christian missionaries. Geronlmo bav ins; professed religion three years ago. Geronlmo, chief of the Apaches, was captured with his band at Skeleton canyon, Arizona, twenty-two years to, having surrendered to General Nelson A. Miles after a three thous and mil chase. It is a curious coincidence that news of Geronlmo's death was sent out from Lawton, which was named after the late General Henry F. Lawton. who. as lieutenant In General Miles' command, led the three thousand mllo chase that resulted In the Apa che chief surrender, ' The chase r- MEMBERS FROM BUNCOMBE ARE DOINGJHINGS Take Prominent Part in Day's Proceedings at State Capital. REVIEW PROVIDED FOR COUNTY LISTS Revenue Bill Provides for New Officer to Vise Work of Listers. RALEIGH, Feb. 17. Senator Brltt was presiding officer in the senate for some time today, and acquitted him self with decided credit. He also of fered the Invocation when tho senate convened. Weaver introduced today a bill to amend the law as to riding on freight trains. Gaston Introduced a bill carrying slight changes In meth ods of paying fees over to tho county by county officers In Buncombe. The house had up for awhile tonight Weaver's prohibition 'bill for Bun combe. Mr. Weaver was not in the house and Mr. Oaston asked that the bill go over. Mr. Urant declared It gave the isdlce power to search any store or pool room without warrant. Mr. Oaston said that It did not as ho understood ,11. but that he was not very fiimilialr with the bill. The mo tion to table was lost 23 to 52. Then tho house agreed to pass It over. Revenue Bills In. The Introduction of the revenue and machinery bills In the house by Chairman Dmvd of the cmmltteo on finance was the feature of the scstdon today. It was just from the commit tee where It had been in process of formation and revision for three weeks Both bills are practically tho 1907 acts over again with very minor changes. The machinery act curries a change In that It provides for each county to appoint somo competent person to go over the listed taxable properties of the county, compare It with lists for past year, and with any other records and sources of infor mation that may be available, ami bring to light any other properties that should be taxed that under' pres ent condition escape taxation. The house had another long nnd fiery seance on the senate fish bill, putting a substitute by Hooker through second reading after which another series of differences dovcl oped between members from fish counties. Objection took final read ing and forced the bill over to an other day. 1Ihciiss History. The senate spent some time discuss ing a resolution to authorize and ad v.ise the county boards of education to purchase .sets of the Ashe History of North Carolina for tin- rural school libraries anil finally passed it with the "advise" stricken out. There was a spirited discussion led by Senator Pharr as to whether this history did not question the authenticity of the Mecklenberg Declaration of Indepen dence, and it developed that It does change the date of the famous docu ment. Senator Pharr then Insisted that to pass the resolution would ne cessitate changing the state (lag and the act making May 20th a legal hol iday. He opposed the resolution te naciously and flnallv carried It over to another day for final trading. Scnati Thirty-Fifth Day.

In command of the department of the Missouri, received instructions to rout the band of Indians headed by Geron lmo, and kill or capture Its chief. General Miles began operations by or ganizing an expedition oonstitlng of the Second, Eighth and Ninth Infan try and the Fourth. Fifth. Sixth and Eighth cavalry, the horsemen bolng in charge of Lieutenant Lawton. The expedition wsji gotten under way In January 1885, but the capture of Je ronlmo and his band was not made until nearly two years later. Since he has been confined at Fort Bill, Ge ronlmo has made many attempts to gain his liberty. Early In 1901, he made a trip to Washington with some of his followers in an effort to In terest President Roosevelt in his case. The old Indian was unsuccessful, how ever, and to the last he was fall of bitter hatred for the white man. a SENATE AGREES ON NAVAL BILL AMENDMENTS Revokes the President's Or der Taking Marines From Ships. CANNON VOTES WITH TEMPERANCE MEN On Amedments Restricting Shipments of Liquor From States. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. The naval bill Carrying total appropria tions of about 1136,000,000 was to lay passed by the senate, after hav ing been under conHideration for three days. The bill was today Chang "d bv the restoration of the house provision for two battleship of i!0,- (100 tons displaccimht, to cost $6,000,- 000 each. An ineffectual effort wan made to defeat the amendment for the rcstor itlon of the marine corps to battle .-ships and cruisers of the navy, which wan placed In tho measure while the senate was proceeding the commlt- '.ee of the whole. Discussing the action of the sen ite in restoring the marine corps ti tho battleships. Senator t'unrmlns. of Iowa, In a vigorous defense of Presi dent Roosevelt declared that the pro Ision would be accepted as a re buke to the president- This state ment Senator Hale resent'-d, and In doing so declared that congress was acting within its well established au thorlty. Within Its Powers. Mr. Hale said: "It has come to a very hard pass if In Its discretion over the manage ment of the large concerns of th navy department, a department for which congress appropriates one hun dred and thirty odd millions, con- gr- sb cannot restore a condition that ixlsted fur one hundred years; If It sannot pass a measure that is against an order of the president, without the action b, ing considered as an as sault upon him- Then a roll-call was taken on the amendment replacing the marine corps on board vessels of the navy. The amendment was udopted by a vote of r, I to 12. Itlg Ships Ib-laincd. The battleship provision was then taken up and Senator Lodge made an Impa-ssioned appeal to the senate to reverse Its action in reducing th stao of two brfttb ships from the type coating $1.0011 (100 ea. ll to two of the I'tah and Florida, i osting $4,500,000 He declared that It would be neces sary In the future to keep a powerful licet In the Pacific. S nator Perkins commenting on the bill, referred to the president's recent statement concerning his attitude to ward the navy, and said he did not believe the president had wilfully violated the ninth eomandment of the decalogue Questions by Mr. Tillman caused Mr. Perkins to remark that he thought there was no danger of war with Japan. An aye and nay vote on the amendment favoring the smaller type of battleship over the 2t 000 ton ves sels resulted In its defeat by a vote of 30 to 45. Mr. La Follette charged there had been political distribution of the work of the navy- He thought there had been discrimination- against the South. He also charged the manage ment of the navy yards with "crimin al waste and extravagance." Taunting Tillman with having said in speaking of naval appropriations "It you want to have any steal inir, I want my share." the senator from (Continued an pxge four.), DRUGGED, TIED, SENDS LETTER OUT FOR HELP ' - T JIM .
