CROWD LISTENS

Greatest Crush Since Cooper

Witnessed f hisMorning
SCENE SHIFTED TODAY
The Frail Figure in Black und Little
Golden-haired Boy Senator Car
macks. Widow and Son-Were
Again : Centre , of Attraction on
rttate's Hide of Itoom, But Today
the White-haired Man Across the
Room Also Attracted the Attention
of the Spectators.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Criminal Court Room, Nashville,
Tenn., Feb. 20 rTlie greatest crush
since the celeebrated Cooper-Sharp
case began on January 20. was ,wlt
nessed this morning when ' the de
fense opened its case. As early as 6
o'clock, three hours before court was
to have convened the crowd began to
gather in the gallery and scon all the
choice seats had been located.; At 7
o'clock the gallery was packed and
the downaour to the lower floor be
gan.. By S o'clock not a seat was
empty and standing room wag at a
premium. Hundreds of men and wo
men, many of them having come
miles to gain admission to the court
room, were turned away.
The frail figure In black and the
little golden-haired boy. Senator Car
mack's widow and son, were again
the center of attraction on the spate's
side ot the room, but today the Bcene
had shifted somewhat and the white-
haired man across the rooni also at
tracted the attention of the specta
tors. .
It had become generally under
stood that Colonel Duncan Brown
Cooper would go on the stand first
and for the first time siuco the day
of the tragedy, would the lips of the
defendants be unsealed and the world
would know the Cooper version of
the controversy which plunged the
whole state into the throes of pnrtt
sanism. Each of the spectators lean
ed and listened, with the keenest in
terest to every word uttered by the
witness and his counsel. All were
curious to see how this noted de
fendant would meet the supremest
test of his long and eventful career.
At 9:20 o'clock two ot the counsel
for the defense entered the court
room and asked the Indulgence of the
court for further conference of thirty
minutes. This was granted.
Robin Cooper Takes Stand
Contrary to expectations, the first
witness put on the stand was Robin J.
Cooper, the man who fired the shots
that killed Senator Carmack.
Kvery one had been expecting Colo
nel Cooper to be , the next witness.
Robin Cooppr took the stand Shortly
before 11 o'clock. Prior, to that time
a flutter of excitement went through
the court room when It became noised

, Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 20 The fact
that ex-President Eliot, of Harvard
University, would say nothing one
way or another about a report that
he Is to succeed Whltelaw Reld as
ambassador to the court of St, James
was taken here as a strong indica
tion that the educator either enter

BANK Of NEWBERN SAFE
Book Officials Replace Every
Dollar of Shortage
J. R. B. Can-away, the Alleged De
faulter, Given A Preliminary Hear
ing Yesterday and Round Over to
Court Vnder $8,000 Bond. Car
roway Caught Accidentally.
(Special to The Times)
New Bern, N. C, Feb. 20 The
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Chas. B. Hill of
the case of; J. R. B. Carraway,
charged with defaulting while in the
employ of the Batik of New Bern, as
teller, was heard, yesterday and .the
defendant put uifder a bond of 1 8,000
for his appearance at the next term
of United States .court here.
National Bank Examiner Fred A.
Hull was the only witness today, who
said, on the stand, that he had found
evidence sufficient, to make the
charge of defaulting, embezzling,
misappropriating and making false
entries on the books of the bank.
Mr. Hill said that the defendant bad
admitted to him that he was short,
that the amount stated in his admis
sion was ?116,000 which he had
taken from tlmti to time in aspace
of about ten years. The defendant,
said the witness, said ho had success
fully carried oa this shortage by not
turning in the; deposit tickets to be
tiled. District Attorney Harry Skin
ner represented the government and
Wm. Dunn, Jr represented the de
fense. '.The defense endeavored to
bring out on cross-examination that
Carraway had connected others with
the .case In some way. Mr, Hill re
fused to say either way in replying
to the questions. He said he could
not tell how mtjch had been taken
from the bank during any one year
since the defaulting had been going
on." V . . ) "
It is stated by some of the bank
officials that almost a month will be
required to get : through with the
books and a correct statement can
not be made untltthe work has been
finished. ...1" ... - - -".'.'':
The catching' up with Carraway
was by a mere accident, the utmost
confidence having been placed in
Carraway by the officials. As was
stated in court today by the cashier,
Mr. George Roberts, Carraway had
been teller of the bank for more than
twenty odd years and his honesty was
never disputed or anything suspiclon
ed wrong with his accounts. In look
ing over the books, for some-other
reason, the cashier, Mr. Roberts, dis
covered an erasement. This, it seems
he had discovered on various other
times, but in each of the other in
stances Carraway had made an ac
ceptlble excuse. This time Mr. Rob
erts took interest in his actions and
went Into questioning Carraway.
Finally Mr. Roberts told Carraway
that there was something wrong and
that he (Roberts) must know what
it was. Mr. Roberts had cornered
him so close that Carraway broke
down and told what he termed to be
the facts In the matter.
The explanations of Carraway were
to the effect that he had allowed cer
tain friends in New Bern to overdraw
to Buch an extent that he was afraid
to Btop them for fear that they would
expose him and only shorten the time
before he was caught up with; that
he had made the entries In the be
ginning and the people would not
come up with the money.
National Bank , Examiner run
stated in Court that the bank officials
have replaced every dollar of the
shortage that might be discovered.
When the bank examiner has fin
ished his investigation, and he pro
poses to go through the bank's books
and make a thorough examination,
the officials will then employ experts
to go over the same work and com
pare their findings.
About $20,000 of the shortage
was recovered from Carraway In
property and stock Interests, besides
a small amount of cash.
, , The confidence displayed In the
bank by the people of New Bern Is a
source of gratification to the officials,
Nat an account has been withdrawn,
a condition rather to the contrary-
Is the deposits have In sotne cases,
beett Increased.

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Bridgeport, Conn., Feb. 2 01 After
pounding about on the rocka off the.

John H. Starin, of the Starin Line,
which ran aground at 11:30 o'clock,
went to the bottom at 2; SO thia
morning and it is believed, she ta, V '

iThe Starin, which was commanded'
by Captain Dampley, and which car- ,
ried a crew 6f twenty-two men, left 5
New Haven last night for New York'
with a cargo valued at about $10,000.
A number of passengers were; book
ed to sail on the Starin but because -of
the storm of yesterday; they, can
celled their passageV The Starin en-'
countered a terrific . gale' and, -high
seas early in the night. At times the 1
wind blew sixty miles an hour and" '
the boat was tossed about until tn!i
cargo was disarranged and men in
the crew became sick. v w ";r-i
Passing the breakwater here waves
were rolling over the Starin's decks
and the vessel was tilted by the gale.-
Whether the Starin got out ot ta '
channel through a mistake ot her
pilot, or was blown on the rocks, haa
not been determined. She struck the
rock with such force that her aide
was caved in as if it had been so
much paper. Water rushed in Ilk

Alice Bouton, the stewardess, and :
the only woman on board, waa lying
on the floor of the women's cabin,
She was seasick and hardly able to
care for herself, when water covered
her body. She regained her feet and
reached the upper deck. There all
was confusion.
So high was the wind and so dirty
the seas that relief boats could not
reach the side of the Starin. The
crew of the Sarah McWllllams volun
teered to attempt the rescue by dor-'
ies. Many times they were "beaten
by the gale and sea in their fight to
gain the Starin, but eventually won
out. They found the Starln'a hold
half full of water and waves break
ing high over her. ;:
The stewardess and the crew were
transferred to the small boats and
then the officers were taken off and
landed on the breakwater, from
which they were Anally rescued by
the Royal and taken ashore, where It
was found the stewardess was In a
