CAKMACK'S SLAVKit MURDERED.
Mystery Shrouds Foul Murder o?
Nashville Attorney.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 30.-Hobin
J. Cooper, a Nashville attorney,
whoso trial for the killing of. former
United States Senator Edward W.
Carmack during the celebrated pis
tol duel between bis father. Col. U.
Cooper and Carmack, in 1008, at
tracted country-wide attention, baa
been murdered hero under mysteri
ous circumstance.
Cooper's body was taken from
Richland creek to-day soon after his
blood-stained automobile bad been
found on a bridge near his home in
the fashionable Hello Meado Park
section. Tho skull had been crushed,
but there ware evidences that a vio
lent struggle had taken place be
fore Hie fatal blow was struck.
A coroner's inquest late to-day
developed no clues to the murderer
or murderers, but the police are
proceeding on the theory that Cooper
was lured from his homo by persons
determined to rob him. This theory
ls based largely upon evidence that
Cooper drew $10,000 from a bank
a short time before he disappeared
last Thursday night.
Lured from Home.
The authorities assume that the
young lawyer was lured from his
home to the secluded bridge over
the creek and there done to death.
The condition of his clothing Indi
cated that he had been dragged some
distance before bc was thrown into
the water. Physicians who ex
amined the body said the small
amount of water found in the lungs
was evidence that Cooper was dead
when dropped into the creek. .
Mrs. Cooper, who is a daughter of
Milton J. Smith, president of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad,
bas been visiting relatives in Louis
ville, Ky., and her absence accounts
for the fact that the disappearance
of her husband did not become
known until to-day.
There was no evidence that the
Cooper home bad been robbed after
the murder, anti some doubt, has
been expressed that tho. murderers
could have expected that the lawyer
would nave any great sum oil his
person. His empty pocketbook,
however, was found in the bottom
of the automobile.
Governor Roberts has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of ibo murderers of the
lawyer. This was later supple
mented by the offer of a similar
amount by tho family. The police
admit that they have nothing on
which to work in solving the mys
tery.
The Carmack tragedy, the most
notable in the history of Tennessee,
grew out of the Cannack-Patterson
race for Governor in 1908, in which
Col. D. B. Cooper, father of Robin
J. Cooper, was one of Patterson's
closest advisers.
In the fatal encounter, which oc
curred on an uptown street of Nash
ville November 9, 1901, tho son bred
tho shot which ended Carmack's life
and in the shooting was himself
wounded.
Fattie! and son were convicted of
murder in the second degree in the
lower court, but on the appeal of
the caso to tho supremo court, the
verdict was reversed as to the son,
the judges standing 3 to 2. Tho
verdict as to Col. Cooper was sus
tained 3 to 2, but before leaving the
capitol the father was pardoned by
Governor Patterson.
Tho case against Robin J, Cooper,
when it carno up again in the David
son county criminal court , was
dropped.
